We have a RB for an OC who won't call running plays, which is truly bizarre.

onejayhawk Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 The Chiefs traded OG Laurant Duvernay-Tardiff to the Jets for TE Daniel Brown. LDT will get to play and Brown should cover the hole Jody Fortson's injury left. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jets_trade_dan_brown_to_chiefs_for_laurent_duvernay_tardif/s1_13132_36317498 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I agree with Baldy, with backs like Williams and Gore we need to start running at least 30 times a game. Get Pat used to the play action, utilize the full backs and the tight ends in big formations. Play to our greatest strength on offense, the run blocking and make teams have to at least vary their coverages. Only way it works is if the Defense can keep up. But if they can get healthy and we can bench Sorensen and Neimann and downgrade Hitch, weve got a chance…maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 It has been a while coming, but the team played little ball against the Giants and won. Derrick Gore and Darrel Williams seem to be a good enough pair of RB. The play pass is beginning to look like the sort of weapon we need to balance the deep threat. OC Eric Bienemy had a few words.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/11/05/kansas-city-chiefs-eric-bieniemy-run-game-derrick-gore-darrel-williams-offensive-line/ There are lanes to be found. Our guys, I thought they did a heck of a job last week. How about Darrel doing what he did, not only as a runner, but also as a receiver out of the backfield. Then, young DG (Derrick Gore) steps in and does a heck of a job, scores his first touchdown. Our O-line is doing a heck of a job in the run game, and our guys are doing a great job of finding the seams. We just need to continue that, and we need to continue building off that. The good thing was that we found a way to overcome adversity last week, which you want to build upon that. So, we want to take the small necessary steps to help us to re-gain our stride—to get us back in our stride again, as Frankie Beverly & Maze would say—so we can achieve the goals that we want to achieve, because there’s still a lot of football left to be played.

kingseanjohn Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 So Kyle Long and CEH have been designated to return and have to activated within 3 weeks. Who would we cut to keep Long? I really can’t think of anyone that I’d prefer him over. I assume Gore is cut for CEH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Yep. Long will take more time. Clyde could practice this week but likely the team aims to have him after the bye week. I woul hate to be in Kyle Long's shoes. His main position is owned by a Rookie of the Year candidate. He could play RT at need. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanfootball Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I'd cut OT/WYLIE and WR/GORDON........no hesitation. If you must cut a RB, I'd cut Mckinnon. Gore is a "must have" IMO Edited November 11, 2021 by mayanfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Wylie will likely play this week. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefer Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I was watching some analysis on the offense and they commented how at the beginning of the Packer game they ran traditional power formation, counters, etc the entire drive and it was Very succesfull, culminating in a touch down. afterwards they ran RPO a ton, and the running game failed repeatedly. During a RPO, the line cant engage until they know the RB has the ball or its a penalty if Mahomes passes. This one to two second hesitation is causing them to play softer than usual, giving defenses an extra edge against the run. there are a couple keys a QB sees to go to the run, and It seems like defensive coaches are instructing their backside LBs to bail on purpose to cover the slant and to activate the run. They know we run it soft and its easier to take care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I personally do not see any possiblity that we sign OBJ, but everyone else seems to go there.https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/11/11/chiefs-emerge-at-perceived-odell-beckham-jr-favorite/ J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-10-offensive-line-rankings-2021 “Best-graded: C Creed Humphrey | 90.4 Worst-graded: T Mike Remmers | 64.5 Kansas City's offense is struggling and doesn't look anything like the high-flying, explosive enterprise it has been since Patrick Mahomes entered the lineup. But the problems aren’t with the offensive line, which has actually been better than a season ago despite a complete overhaul. Rookies Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith have been the unit's best-graded players, and no individual player has been getting consistently taken to pieces. Right tackle Lucas Niang is the biggest weakness thus far, and even he has allowed just one sack all season.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Options with both Remmers and Niang out--Wylie, Prince Tega-Wanogho, Thuney. This article adds Kyle Long which misses the point, as he is still on IR. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-options-right-tackle-andrew-wylie-prince-tega-wanogho-kyle-long/ Wylie isn't too bad for third on the depth chart. Unlike last season he has a monster playing next to him. Thuney is interesting, because it brings Nick Allegretti in at LG. If this is long term, it would be an option to consider but it not short run you put in Wylie and cope. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Assuming its Wylie to start, and having Trey Smith(who isn’t great at pass blocking yet either) wont matter when Crosby/Ngakoue are screaming around the edge. Its looking like its gonna be a rough one for Mahomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
