Are we a RB by committee now? The "token" touches for Woodhead were brutal. Mathews is perfect for this scenario as he can break those arm tackles by tired defenders in the 2nd half. He had like what - 11 carries or something the entire game? TWO reverses to Royal? Entire offensive gameplan was out of sorts.
Whisenhunt had a very nice game plan and calls for the Titans in KC. Nice win for Ken.Last edited by Asela; 09-12-2014, 02:44 PM.

Still don't get why they didn't shift to swinging it out of the backfield to the RBs vs all those double A gap blitzes. Yes the CBs are solid tacklers, but that's an easy 5-7 yards before he's getting tackled. Even quick WR screens would have been better than trying to repeatedly complete passes over the middle.

I don't think the passing attempts were all that bad - just the catching attempts.

The better option might have been to play a bunch to the right, with a TE to the left (or even the guy opposite Cromartie to the left), then just quick pitch to Mathews, letting Dunalp free release, , and then let Mathews outrun the edge rusher, and just follow Dunalp in space. By going bunch away, you take most of the DB in position to defend the perimeter out of the equation and put them on the side away, and probably any additional help.
The other thing was just more bunch formations. The whole point of the bunch is to force press defenders off, because they will get picked off by all the rubs and lose leverage on the routes that form in the releases. We got the one big throw to malcolm on 3rd and 4 in the 3rd qtr out of a classic bunch look (32 yard completetion), we just need to do more of that.
We got a lot of spread iso looks vs the cards with guys spread out, which must have been the plan, but when you don't win the match ups, getting the look we wanted didn't help much.
