Disagree on the base offense, although I definitely see where you're coming from.

The closest I saw to it being a pure E-P under our current coaches was back in  2013 when they dialed back on the vertical and had Cam doing more short passing. It actually worked better than I expected it to, but I think with Cam's skill set and the way the team is being tooled, it's going to be more straight Coryell.

I'd actually prefer E-P honestly, but given the players we've got I definitely see the offense to come being more of a pure Coryell. Funchess in particular is someone I see being well suited to that.

Mind you, despite his admiration for Norv Turner, I'm not sure Rivera has a preferred offensive system. Back when we were looking at new OCs, the choices were all over the map.

Yeah you're right. Part way through 2013 is when I noticed a shift. But NFL offenses are hard to classify these days, especially with the influence of the College game. Everybody seems to run a bit of everything.

Definitely.

You've still got the three major established offenses, but each team and each OC is gonna have their own unique take on whatever base offense they're running. So while the base concepts are still there, Norv Turner's Coryell and Hue Jackson's Coryell are each going to have their own finer points.

And then when you throw in stuff like Chip Kelly's offense, spread concepts, read option attacks, etc.  There's a lot out there these days.

I look at it kinda like the old martial arts.  Used to be the teachers of Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, etc all wanted nothing to do with the other arts, but here in the day of 'mixed martial arts', it's loosened up a lot.  The base systems are all still there, but with more freedom to take whatever works.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, I'll ask: What exactly do you think we're running?

Last season? Our offense was an enigma. He we ran more "college style plays" than any other team in the NFL, and towards the end we went heavily with the no huddle and read option. The Coryell relies a lot  on attacking vertically, last season were one of the worst teams in the league in terms of big plays. Cam's rookie season under Chud we had more of a vertical passing game but ever since then its been intermediate passing game, chewing up the clock.

Rivera's said recently that he really likes the flow of our no huddle offense so there's a lot more of that coming.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
