For the X and O guys! What is the Weakness

That is causing all of these runs to the left.

Dayne's run was to the left and all of LJ's successful runs were to the left.

Not sure about Denver, but KC's offense has run much better to the left all season.

That is causing all of these runs to the left.

Dayne's run was to the left and all of LJ's successful runs were to the left.

It is usually something different on every play. For instance on Dayne's run we were in a 4-3 set. Hasn't been the case on all of the long runs. Generally the outside rusher is allowed to over pursue with a disguised pass play such as a Draw. That opens a rather large hole. If they also pull an OL or a TE it can be a big run. Denver and KC both have great OLs. We have a young defense. That is a deadly mix at times as you've seen.

KC's strength is to the left for one thing (Roaf). Ware also got caught up one too many times going too far inside rather than stringing plays out. On the birght side, Fujita seems to be playing much better.

Expect to see RW playing much closer to the LOS against the skins, with Davis and Henry or TNew in double coverage against Moss (the only WR threat for the skins). Cooley is their Hback and can make some plays, but I think we are athletic enough on defense to contain him.

Well re watching parts of the game I am working on analyzing are o line when i stopped and watched a few LJ runs the whole defense front 7 was either blown up walled of on the backside. The run defense scares me on this team it has struggled a lot of late and it worries me come playoff time

 

[Yeagermeister]

VS KC there was one HUGE reason Willie Roaf

 

[Jay]

Yeah. I was going to say before even reading any of the responses, that there's one reason: Willie Roaf.

It looks like James is over aggressive inside which sometimes get him introuble, but the bigger problem is that Shanle just gets pushed around and out of the play... Keith Davis usually makes it there before Shanle does. It looks like more and more teams have been attacking Shanle, either in the run or with that TE cross in front or behind him in short zone. I'm pretty sure that sideline completion for the Chiefs with 10 second left was his short zone area and you can see Zimmer yelling at him.

Huh?

That play was messed up when Fujita didn't reroute Hall at the LOS then RW was not quite fast enough to get over because of Hall's speed.

Shanle was not even in the play at all. He is an inside backer.

The problem with our right side of the defense is two fold. One all the good runs to our right side were sweeps. That means they got the corner of the right side blocked( that resonsibility is the outside LB) The second problem is out ILB (James) is not a lateral runner(ala DAT) he takes bad angles.

The angles Brady was taking on those runs were flat. On one play he got to touch his (LJ) shoulder pads. If you saw when Burnett was in on one set of downs as the OLB on the right side, he played text book OLB on sweeps. First he disrupted the blocking scheme by penetrating 1 foot on the line of scrimage taking on the block with his leftside not letting the runner get around the corner.

Everytime they hook the corner( WARE) they have the pulling lineman and the FB to seal the inside( Brady and FS).
