[quote="moochman"][quote="jazzmanljg"]I don't think KC's offense will be the super power it has been. The loss of Roaf in particular will hurt. That being said, they are NOT learning a new system. They promoted from within (Solari) so that they could keep the same system. Edwards went on record as soon as he took the job saying that he didn't want to mess with the offense. [b]I think the major change will be that Edwards will put the handcuffs on when KC has the lead to try and run the clock down and keep their D off the field compared to the Vermeil/Saunders approach of trying to win [/b]every game in a shoot out.[/quote]
That has to be very comforting knowing that the worse clock manager in the history of football wants to put the handcuffs on the O. That could be disasterous for the Chiefs. I hate it when a coach wants to control a game to that effect. It always gives the other team a chance to stay close and steal a game. Having Herm doing it is worse news for LJ than losing Roaf. IMO. Herm will become very predictable.[/quote]
I disagree, I don't think it will be bad for the Chiefs or LJ. I think it will help the D in KC alot. Also, Larry should rack up more 4th quarter carries as compared to previous years when the last quarter was often a shoot out. It will cut into Green and the WR (getting back to the original post) numbers. IMO
