Dome Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I honestly have only seen a few of the chiefs earlier games when Smith was balling out. What’s been the difference? seemed like they were taking a lot more shots downfield, maybe once teams adjusted to this “new” Chiefs offense the magic was gone? Could be way off, only saw a couple of their early games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically a more athletic Dak. I think he'll be ok. He looked great in the preseason and his running around will help create big plays to Tyreke. I thought Mariota was more raw as a passer than Mahomes. I bet the KC running game, or at least Kareem Hunt, takes off again if Mahomes starts.

DalCowboyzRule Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I don't know how long but if he were to get benched for Pat the Chiefs would probably be my new #1 team as long as Jason Garrett is still our coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Alex Smith came into Sunday leading the NFL in QBR and for the whole season was an MVP candidate. Now people want him benched? My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverNBlackFan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 All the gimmicky plays are starting to be weeded out. And it's getting cold. So I expected regression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be way off, only saw a couple of their early games Pittsburgh played pure zone against us and Alex struggled immensely. Teams have since picked up on this, and any team that can even somewhat competently play a cover 2 zone is throwing him severely off his game.

That really hasn't changed that much, and isn't the cause of Alex's decline. Alex's decline is his own thing, and that has caused teams to be able to key in on Hunt more. Alex has caused Hunt's statistical regression, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first 3 weeks your OL was creating some big holes and generally looking dominant as well. Now the OL looks just sorta average when I watch. That's the biggest change I've noticed. Your OL in the first 3 weeks looked like the 2016 Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stack the box, send a couple blitzes, and play zone. Will stop the run, Alex gets happy feet and doesn’t like throwing into zones. Until Alex learns how to throw into zones, that is how every team should play us. Early in the year teams were playing a ton of man, which with the speed we have left plenty of separation for Alex to be comfortable throwing. Aside from the Pats that’s how most teams played us early on, and well the Pats front 7 was so awful at that point I’m not sure it mattered. Alex shouldn’t be benched, but he needs to start pushing the ball into zones and get back to pushing it downfield. Hunt and the OL cant do much when defenses don’t respect us more than 10 yards downfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're starting to disguise it well now too, got him all kinds of messed up. Combine that with only a semi-decent arm in bad weather and bad things are happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
