Second, I think you're missing the context of my post. I was only addressing why JG threw so few passes in the last 2 games and stated the obvious -- if they can't stop it, you keep doing it. Even pop warner coaches know that. GB and Minn couldn't stop SF's running game. That doesn't mean (and I didn't say) that KC can't stop the running game. I watched some game film and you guys seem to have stout run blockers in the middle of the line. How are they against zone blocking? Shanahan is more about the one cut against the flow running. Is your line solid in setting the edge?

The Titans run a zone scheme as well. They aren’t as creative or tricky as Shannahan, but their OL follow the same general principles. Almost all of Henry’s big runs this season came on one-cut zone runs where he caught a backside crease and powered through light contact into the open field.
Clark and Suggs have been excellent at setting and holding the edge. Clark will be lined up at LE most of the time now, with Suggs on board at RE.
