The Cheifs May Look As Good As They Did last Year, But What Does That Mean When Everyone Else Got Better?
Our Story Begins Somewhere In The Nineties And involves Everybody Fictional Alien Fighters, The Saiyan’s.
In the Toei Animation Anime Series, Dragon Ball Z The Most Action Back Hour In Animation. One Of The More Seismic Battles And Crucial Fighting Strategies Took Place During The Cell Saga as The Mercury Meter On Cell Android Conflict Increased. In The wake Of Cell’s Arrival, The Bodies Of Characters Laid To Waste Rose At Rates Not Seen In That Season. The Perfect Android fulfilled His Programming. Not One Z Fighter Contended With Him. One By One, They Look Out Class By The Own Genes. Perfection Meets Ambition. With Only The Hardest— “Hardest”(?), Yikes—Remaining Fights On The Horizon.
Future Trunks, The Inadvertent Author All This Mayhem, Step Forth To Defend And To Undo The Mayhem. In A glorious Display Of Lighting, Sound Effect, and Spiked Hair, in Convention With Z FIGHTERS, Trunks “Powers Up.”--Like a lot. Cell Waited. Giving Trunks And The Animator Five Minutes To Make The “Show” Happen. Cell Looked Modestly Concerned As The Young Trunks Morph Into A Level Called “Ultra Super Saiyan.” One Of the Awe Inspiring Moves of My Childhood.
A BEEF up Trunks Descends the Sky To Make Rage War With Cell. Immediately We Understand Why Even The arrogant Cell Displayed Such Nonchalance in The Face Of Certain Defeat; Trunk Couldn't Lay a Hand On Him(Cell). Trunks Became Too Bulbous, Too Swell. His New Physique Made Maneuvering Nightmare, Like Poor Pawn Structure In Chess. I’m Stream Lining The Story, But For A Moment, Defeat Looked Assured. A Swollen, Intractable Super Saiyan. He Couldn't Do Nothing When His Opponent Simply Move Away From Him.
That Scene Has Some Relation To Football. For some Teams, High Power offenses Become CHARGE-Up In Shotgun Offense Design To Bump Out Deep Downfield blasts. Surprisingly Bloated. Unable To Move With The Increasing Malleable Defenses. With constant Changes In Coverages And Utter Ignorance Of The Run Game.
Coach Andy Reid Built His High Tempo, Strike Fast And Downfield Often. And It Work, A lot.
The “Blitzkrieg” (Sorry If This Offends Anyone) Style Of Offense Position.
The Chiefs Offense generated 30 Or More Points In Eleven Game Last Season, Including The Post Season. Yet the Chiefs, Who Started The Year Favorited To Win The AFC. The Chiefs entered this season Winners 24 of the past 26 games And Looked Almost Out Of The Pool Of Contention Before Falling Half Of Football From Appearing In Their Super Bowl. But The Offense Couldn’t Maneuver. The Couldn’t Move Around In Shotgun When The Bengals Took The Deep Crossers and Go Routes away.
The Chiefs On The Immensely Talented Arms On The Prolific Arm Of Patrick Mahomes. Besides being An MVP, he’s This Generation “Jet Setter.” A Scrambling Wizard With High Profile Arm Talent Piloting A Modern West Coats In The Offensive Innovation Era passing yards (18,991) and highest passer rating (105.8) To Start A Career In Decades. There Aren’t Any Ostensibly Points Of Reference To Highlight, Like “Aha” That’s Why he Took A Step Back This Past Season. His Pressure rate Stayed Static, and So Did his Completion Percentage. Even Year to tear Advance Statistics Like “Expected Competition Percentage” Remain True To His Platform. His Attempts, Dropbacks Went Up, But Touchdown Percentages Remained Relatively Unmoved. Mahomes Struggles Appear To Begin In The Qualitative Data. His Footwork, A QUESTION of Since Draft Night, Continue To Regress. He struggled against The Blitz; In Response To Those Struggles, He Fell In Love With Vacating The Pocket, Not Going Through Reads, Or manipulating The Field To His Advantage To Create Clear Opening Down Field.
Great Player Make The Seemingly Impossible Look Routine. They Also Make The Seemingly Routine Bafflingly Unconscionable at Times. The Evidence, Quantitative and Qualitative, Reveal That Mahomes May Have Stickiness For The Ball Because The Impossible Can Always Be One Second Away.
Mahomes Held Unto The Ball Consistently Longer than The Average Quarterback. That’s not To say Extending Plays is A New Trend For Mahomes. His Scampering and Drifting Along with Time To Extend Plays Are The Most Famous Attribute Of His game.
This Mahomes Just Didn’t Conjure The Same Magic As In Years Past. Some Of Crisis Dallas On Defensive adjustment. Coordinators Have Seen This Trick Before—the Other Part Of The Equation, Misty The Result Of An Unstable Play style. Regardless, The Results From Season To Season Are Wildly Different. His Passer Rating Drop From 93 To Around 84 On Plays Of Over Three seconds and Plays Of 2.6s Or More He Register an Even Steeper Falloff From 2020-21 To 2021-22. The Andy West Coast System, Once Noted For Its Crossing Route, Evolved Into Dynamite Factory. They Drafted Patrick Mahomes To Replace Alex Smith For That Reason, and Now Mahomes On Seems To Seek Out Dynamite, Big Plays Down Field. The Mad Bomber Style: The Driving Force Behind Anonymous Defensive Coordinator Critique Of Mahomes “StretchBall” Play Style.
Ultimately It's all Difficult To Judge. Some Aspects Of The Offense Require Mahomes to Expand The Duration Of His Reads. No one Should Have Their Wings Clipped For Going Against Grain. The Mahomes Offense works Perfectly As The Antithesis To The” Boring” Offenses Of The Broncos and Niner. All Of Which Are West Coast, Short Pass Dink, And Dunk Offenses Trying To Incorporate An Explosive Element This Season. Those Methodical play By Play Superbowl Winning Drive, Compressed. Out of That, A Violent Hogpog Of Aerodynamic that least If Anything Weren’t Boring.
Nevertheless, the Chief's Offensive Coordinators were open To The Revelation That Anonymous defensive Coordinators had Already Concluded. Playing For The Long Ball Had Striking Drawbacks, and the Result backed The Judgements. The Chiefs Weren’t Committed to Run Deep Game Into 2021. Starting With Their Choice of Deep Threat Wide Receiver Tyreek Hill, Whose Depth Of Target(10.6) and Amount and Amount Of deep Targets(16.1) Were Both Career Lows.
Perhaps Motivated By Watching Their Half a Billion Dollar Investment Nearly Torn To Shreds In Super Bowl Like A Rag Doll. The Offensive Line Had to Improve But So Did The Offensive Philosophy.
Andy Reid Has a Pluripotent Offense. With the right Inspiration With The Dynamic Weapons, Reid’s Can Spawn a Variety of Concepts To Attack defenses. But In A non-committed Way, He Had To Tame His
The Results Were 12 Touchdown 6 Interceptions, And 4% Turnover Worthy On Attempted Throws That Lasted More Than Three Seconds. All Down(Or Up) From A Year Ago. Right around The Range Of The Bottom Of The League. Those Were Some Of The Habits Many Suppose Mahomes Had Worked Through On His Way From Volatile Quarterback Prospect To NFL MVP, now Somehow Back To Volatile Quarterback Prospect. Back In NOVEMBER, Mahomes Set A NEW standard For Attempted Passed Behind The Line Of Scrimmage. Of Course, This hurts Mahomet's Average Depth Of Target, Given Those Had an average Depth Of Target Of (-3.3), But Those swing Plays Took The Ball Out Of The Suddenly Mistake Prone hands Of Mahomes and Gave The Skilled Players The Chance To Make Plays. Eventually, One Of Those Behind The Line Of Scrimmage Passes Would sneak Into The Playoffs and Doom The Final Drive Of Their Game Against The Bengals. Even Before The Bengals Game, Andy Reid’s Offense Ran Far Fewer Deep Routes All Season. The Chiefs offensive Experience Meant Redzone Attempt(Inside The Opponent 20) Increased By 26 From 74 To 100. He Didnt Waste Many Throws. Mahomes Finished With The Third Best Completion Percentage On Throws Within The Ten To The Endzone. But His Effective And Passing Efficiency Suffered Greatly on Attempts Of Shorter Or Fewer Air Yards. The Type Of Throws That Put The Ball In The Hands Of His Player Maker Rathers Than Test The Scope Of Mahomes Vision And Creativity.
Once again, The Reductive Scheme Planted Mahomes Statistical. He Didn’t Finish with Top 20 Passer Rating Inside The Ten Despite Having Third Highest COMPLETION percentage According To Stats Via The Washington Post.
Within The Shorter Ranges Of The Field, Scheme And Execution Matter More Than Ability And Athleticism. They added To That Less Room To Roam And Extend. All Of These quirks Reared Their Head In THE playoffs. The More Defense Played Drop Coverage, The More Andy Reid And Eric Beniemy Call Play For Crossing Routes.
More The Team And the Offense Gave Way for Mahomes And His Disciplines; Pocket Presence, Poise, Eyes Down Field, Foot Work, Vision An His General Magic To Break Down. Sherlock Holmes Could Point Out The Elementary Deduction that Between Weeks Five against Buffalo and Weeks 9 Against The Packers, Mahomes Averaged Nearly Fifty Dropbacks a Game--250 Across 5 Games. His Highest Total Stretch During any Part Of The Season and Registered His Worse Graded Games Of Last Year, The Only Exception Being Week Two against Baltimore. Forcing Mahomes Over the Middle Didnt Dampen His talent. Instead, Defense Used Three Deep and Two Deep Shells As Buffers To Mahomes’s Blow and Struck Quickly When He Inevitably Err. Only Two
Season Ago, A“Pass-Happy” Chiefs Offense Had Opposing Teams Pushing Up Daisies.
The Cheifs Went 3-2 Over That Stretch But Could Have Easily Taken Home Losses To The Giants and Packers, Who Were Without Aaron Rodgers.
In the Divisional Round Against The Bills—The Game Of The Year— Mahomes Didn’t Target A receiver Deep Meaning 20 Yards Or Better Downfield. With Tyreek Hill now In South Beach, That Element Of The Offense Isn’t Eliminated; It’s Mollified.
With A Few Off-season Moves, The Chiefs Offensive Core Will Look So Different. Not That Any Would Have Recognized The Names And Number Of Their Skill Position Players A Year Ago.
The All-Pro Triumvirate Of Hill Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes Produced Nearly All Of The Offense. Either By Direct Action Or As A Cause And Effect Of Their Presence. Hill Has The The Third Most Passing Touchdowns Since He Entered The League In 2016, and Travis Kelce Has The Most Receiving Yards. Hill Won’t Be Easy To Replace, In Any Capacity— Especially For A Team Predicated On Offensive Outburst.
Slated To Replace That Void Production A Group Of Unproven Veterans An A Rookie. Nothing Can Ruffle And Unsteady Evaluation Like Unvetted Receivers. Stepping Up Alongside Kelce, Holdover Mecole Hardman. Andy Reid Loves To Talk about The Characteristic Similarities Between Hardman and Tyreek Hill.
When Confront By reporters With Regards To Hill, He Makes Minimal Efforts To Distinguish The Two By Qualification. To Say To Him, Their Both Fast. That's Where The Relation Ends—the Former 2nd Round Hasn't Delivered To The Chiefs The Value The Team Exhausted To Add Him To Their Coup.
Veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster And Marquez Valdes-Scantling Will Join Touted Rookie Sky Moore and The Always Re-emerging Josh Gordon, Who Played For The Chiefs Briefly.
Andy Reid Stated Recently That The New Chiefs Offense Will Resemble The Old. What He’s Betting On Or What I assume He’s Betting On, That The Average Observer Has never Watch The Chiefs Offense In Totality. Only Wrinkles of His Celebrated. He’s Betting That We’ve Read The Reports and Watched The Highlights But Never Taken a Gander At The Byzantine Architecture And The Twenty Plus year Of Thought Through Play Calling. Patrick Mahomes Lead, The League In, Passes behind The Line of Scrimmage, And Generally, We Think Of Mahomes As an Artisan Of The Deep. Now Both Extremes Are Under His Command. Except Now, One Extreme Appears To Be On The Rise. Encroaching More and More Towards the Shore. Neither Spots are New, but The Usages Are Difference. One Of the Alternatives To Being Swollen To Uselessness Would…
During Trunks Faithfully Drawn Up Power Scene, Another Z Fighter Accompanied Him, Krillin. Krillin Looked On in Fear and Awe As Trunk Surpass power Threshold after Power Threshold, Briefly Becoming The Strongest Fighter On The Planet, A Title Beyond The Wildest Of The Forgotten Fighter Krillin. Short, Thin, Limited, Wimpish, Useless. Krillin Could Never Fathom The IDEAs Of Power Consider Relative To These Supreme Warriors. The Chiefs Offense, Unfathomable as The Thought, Could Very Well Become Krillin.
Defenses are Going To Take Travis Kelce Away OR at Least Focus Their Efforts To Him. In so Trusting the Chiefs Other Weapons To Falter. The Chiefs Won’t Learn How To Play Football, But they Have To Take Their Medicine and Get Off The Juice.
