husker B-rent Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i was just thinking and recently KC has started to run a lot of spread formations and they mix in a few pro sets among others, the only one i havent really seen is too much option (no pro team does much). they run a lot of short passing game. NU runs alot of spread, Pro sets, and short passing game. just some similarities that i have noticed............ Quote Link to comment

Ringer02 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm saying it right now. i don't care how the chiefs finish this year, but i honestly believe there going to do very well next year. As long as Thigpen remains the starter Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm saying it right now. i don't care how the chiefs finish this year, but i honestly believe there going to do very well next year. As long as Thigpen remains the starter it should be interesting.... they have a TON of cap space... I am hoping for 2-3 impact players via FA Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thigpen rushed for 95 yards and 2 TD's their last game? I listened on the radio to a Grant Wistrom interview. He said what I've believed for years that no spread offense would ever last in the NFL because of the speed of the D's and the vicious hits receivers and QB's would take. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Chiefs are running the same offense as Nebraska...who is running the same offense as Missouri...who copied it from Texas...who got it from Florida...because it came with Urban Meyer from Utah.............yada yada yada.

hastingshusker Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The only way the cheifs improve is if they get rid of Herm Edwards. I have never been a fan of him. But you gotta think that there really aren't any "new" offenses anymore. Nothing has been that revolutionary since the WCO came in with Bill Walsh. Just spreading the field out more.

husker B-rent Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 i think next year or the year after the chiefs will be very very good. Thigpen moves the offense better than any chiefs QB since trent green was still healthy. and yes i am ready for herm to be fired. and for the poster that said we run the same offense as MU, that is simply NOT accurate. we run some spread sets and some pro sets.....those spread sets are not even the same type of spread that MU runs. MU runs a spread that is more unique to them, TTECH-MU-WVU all run different types of spread. just because the sets they run are called spread sets, it does not mean they are even remotely the same...............

Half the game last week was out of the pistol. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If you're going to get completely technical, then no, no 2 'spreads' are the same. But your point was that the offenses are BASICALLY the same. Which a lot of these spread offenses are. When it comes down to it these SIMILAR offenses put up SIMILAR numbers across the board regardless of the little quirks and nuances that make each offense unique: For example: Missouri -Chase Daniel completing 76% of his passes for a total of 3592 yards and 30 TDs/11 INT's -Chase Daniel has rushed 41 times for 136 yards -They have 7 receivers w/ 17+ receptions -Top 3 backs have combined for 1367 yards rushing Nebraska -Joe Ganz completing 70% of his passes for a total of 3103 yards and 21 TDs/10INT's -Joe Ganz has rushed 72 times for 248 hards -Have 7 receivers w/ 20+ receptions -Top 3 backs have combined for 1485 yards rushing I didn't say they were exactly the same. But basically.... Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think the Chiefs should deal Gonzalez and LJ while they still have some value. Pick up some draft picks. Gonzalez is incredibly valuable, but I'd feel bad for the guy if he ended his career with this team. He deserves to contend for a Super Bowl. The Chiefs won't even be in that conversation for 3-4 years, probably. I think Smith, Savage, and Charles can handle the RB duties much better than LJ, though. Quote Link to comment
