It's not that big of a deal. I don't want to blow it out of proportion. I just don't know why the Chiefs have to resort to trickery to move the ball when they have good players.

Again, what is this trickery?

That's not trickery. He is trying to figure out what the defense is doing so he can get the team into a better play.

That's not trickery. He is trying to figure out what the defense is doing so he can get the team into a better play = motioning guys around to determine the defensive scheme.

Exactly.

"Trickery" is not motioning into a mismatch. It's almost like Knomo doesn't understand football, but that can't be the case, can it?

Quesadilla Joe 08-11-2012 09:30 AM

Chiefs first play...

line up with McCluster in the slot Baldwin out wide and two RB's in the backfield. They motion Hillis out wide and then throw to McCluster. That was trickery. Why not just line up with 3 WR's?


Play #2

They lineup in an obvious run formation, fake the handoff to the FB and then throw a quick pass to Charles. That is trickery.

They run a lot of plays like this. Why not just play straight up? Why do they have to rely on trickery?

Quesadilla Joe 08-11-2012 09:32 AM

Again, it's no big deal. It's just something I have noticed, and the Chiefs have been running plays like this for the past 3 or 4 years.

Why can't Manning just run the play that he started with? It's tricky for him to change it.


Why does he run play action? It tricks the defense? Thats tricky.

Trickery? What did Cassel pull a quarter out of a linebacker's ear? A fake handoff and mismatches aren't trickery.

Get ready for a whole lot off trickery up and over your ass this season. Gonna be fun playing the broncos and watching them only do three step drops out of fear of anybody laying a hand on brokeneck mountain.

Now move along... I'm sure there is a school shooting somewhere in Colorado you must attend.

Is this your first year of watching football? It's pretty damn obvious you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Expecially coming from a troll who thought Tim Tebow wasn't a one trick pony last season. When Manning's neck is busted for good and the old horse sent off to the glue factory, it'll be fun watching your excuses for Osweiler's inability to grasp the NFL like you did with Tebow.

So has every other team in the NFL, like, for ever. Motion is not new, nor are positions shifts.

You probably think the "famous" 65 Toss Power Trap uses trickery because the play relies on misdirection along the line to work (pulling the Right Guard from the to block on the left, pulling the Left Tackle out to create a seam on the outside, while the end cracks down on an LB trapping one of the DT's at the point of attack).

Yes I was encouraged. And not just the first two series either. I liked his playcalling for the entire game.

And while I may be in the minority, I was encouraged with the play of Stanzi and Quinn. I still think if/when Stanzi gets a shot with the number #1's he is going to be very sharp. Especially with Daboll's playcalling.

Really? I couldn't tell from the fuzzy internet feed but it looked like Quinn was sharper than Stanzi. I won't know for certain until the NFL Network re-broadcasts the game next week but I'm very curious to see for myself.

I just don't understand why it isn't airing until Wednesday or whatever. Totally lame.

I thought Quinn was fine last night too. Not knocking him at all.

I just see something in Stanzi's game that I really like. His pocket presence and decisiveness look very good to me, and he throws a pretty damn good ball for the most part too. Just something about him I like.

Nothing against Quinn at all.

I couldn't find it, either. On the NFL Network, the first airing I've found is at 12:00am on 8/15, then again at 1:00pm that same day.

On Sunday, 8/12, it's listed on channel 686, FSAZHD at 6:30pm, which I'm guessing is a Fox Sports Phoenix feed. I have no idea if that will be blacked out in my area, as the NFL.com feed last night was blacked out in parts of Cali and Nevada.

4 eastern, 1 pacific has the Ravens-Falcons.

Yeah, I see it there but not on the DVR. If I go to Wednesday at 12am on Channel 212 and go to "View Upcoming", all that's listed is the Fox Sports Arizona feed on Sunday night and the two airings on Wednesday.

I think their schedule is always fluid, as I can recall this happening in the past. Some games aired sooner than the NFL.com schedule, some aired later.

To me it's the fact they won because the Cards could have come back in the 4th quarter & I'd still be happy because I saw something that I hadn't seen in awhile...the Chiefs looked like a functioning team in preseason instead of the pile of dogshit we have witnessed for awhile. The first team offense & defense was dominating & that's a positive sign.

The Cards 4th teamers could have won the game in the 4th quarter & I would still be happy today because the Chiefs 1st teamers were awesome!:thumb:

Well, there are certain local "rights" issues that come into play because technically speaking, the preseason games are organized, managed and broadcast by each team and not the NFL.

But I do agree that they need to iron out this issue. I almost purchased the Preseason Package for $19.99 last night, only to have a friend call and say "Don't do it. I just paid for it and the game is blacked out".

I like Trent as a commentary guy. Very smart and insightful. I'm glad Idon't have to listen to Jayice Pearson anymore. That guy was sort of annoying. The Chiefs television network or whatever its called, always has "technical difficulties". Every year. It's kinda comical at this point. Like an annual tradition lol.

I never cared for Jayice on the field or in the booth. Trent has some nice insight from time to time, although if he wants to pursue a broadcast career, he needs to work with a vocal coach to work on his tone, which is a bit nasally.

I'm not surprised with technical difficulties because the broadcast team works infrequently together. Live broadcasting is very,very difficult under normal circumstances. The network guys just make it look easy.

Lol yeah I really don't care about the technical issues they have every year. I kind of welcome it at this point. Its funny, and I didnt give a shit about that guy they were trying to interview anyway.

Trying to get the defense out of position is trickery? I think each team should tell what the other one is calling just to make it fair.

All the local teams broadcast in preseason for every team are like this. They don't have the budgets that the networks do. They are all for the most part, homeristic.

It wasn't exactly the gutsiest call but KC Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel went for it on fourth down on the Chiefs first possession of the preseason.


With KC driving down the field, Crennel opted to keep his offense on the field and go for it on a fourth and one. The ball was on the 46-yard line so, really, this was the right decision. But it was the play call, and how it was executed, that I really liked.


It was simple, yet effective, which seems to be a theme with the very little we know about Brian Daboll so far.

This is the initial formation. Definitely looks like there's a run coming with the Chiefs power formation here. But...

The offense motions out of that formation. Now you have an empty back field with five wide. Or pretty much the exact oposite formation of what they lined up in initially. This puts the defense off balance and makes them quickly process what's going on. And, as KC learned last night, making the Cardinals defense think usually results in very good things for the Chiefs offense.


Look at the middle of the defense. That's the key area on this play.

Cassel takes the snap and lunges forward, just left of center. Look at this screen grab and compare it to the first one. The formation moved a number of Cardinals off the line of scrimmage. Something as simple as changing that can make a big difference.

If you can see him, that's Cassel sliding in there between Rodney Hudson and Ryan Lilja. Branden Albert is there on the edge pushing forward as well.

As Mitch Holthus would say, another FIRST DOWN KANSAS CITY!
He didn't do it this time, but this is a normal Cassel reaction to a play like that:

I guess all the years Denver used the misdirection QB bootlegs was just cheap trickery. Why not just run a play in one direction? Faking a run one way and going the other is CHEAP. Trying to fool the defense is for pussies!

But I do agree that they need to iron out this issue. I almost purchased the Preseason Package for $19.99 last night, only to have a friend call and say "Don't do it. I just paid for it and the game is blacked out".

I experienced the same thing with the Preseason Package. Except I actually purchased it, and found several games I tried to watch were blacked out that were way out of my broadcast area. But I called back and canceled it. They didn't give me any grief over canceling though.

He would have loved Herm running LJ up the center's ass times infinity. REAL football!!!

Looks like Dane has already had his preseason.

Mother****er hitting the grounding running this September.

Our O finally looks like the Patriots, thank God. The routes he was having Dex run was classic patriots

Talent wins in the NFL.

The Chiefs have it.

No, none of us are thinking SB(Cassel).

Winning the division is a very good possibility.

It might be the crack but if the Chiefs fail to win the division, it should be considered a disappointment, at least to Chiefs fans. Cassel or not.

This team is stacked. Romeo continues to show that he "gets it". If they're healthy, this season could be magical.

This is likely the deepest this team has been in a decade.

We could not be healthy and still win the division...

I'm not sure why everyone keeps saying that, I watched the game live on the NFL stream last night. Just watched the first quarter again this afternoon.

We came a game away from that last season.

Me either, and we would have been destroyed again had we made the playoffs. I'm just saying that looking back it's impressive that they were that close considering the talent they lost.

With an idiot HC and 3 different starting QB's.

And we upgraded at RT, HB, TE, C, and DL this year which were our biggest weaknesses last year...

ILChief 08-11-2012 07:47 PM

If Cassel could play like he did last night all year, he could Dilfer us deep in the playoffs. He is never gonna be Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers but he's probably the best we have ( though I'd like to see stanzi get some work with the 1s) so I'm gonna go into this season giving him the benefit of the doubt.
