Chiefs Have Pulled Off An UNPRECEDENTED Genius Move

[@edwinhathaway2737]

The tackles if good would totally change this team.

[@Jdeneik]

Excellent analysis! Chiefs should sacrifice what ever they need to to get a elite offensive line. Why? Because Mahomes is then allowed to win you the game.

Facts

[@williamallen7984]

I honestly feel like if we could keep D Hop, Hollywood and get rashee back with worthy, receivers would be fine. But Veach is going to Andrew Luck Mahomes if he doesn’t get some tackle help NOW. 35 sacks on your franchise QB is too many, and the season is only 3/4 done.

[@soulitude5152]

both hollywood and dhop are free agents 2025

[@billluster7687]

EVERY team in the NFL has one goal. Beat the Chiefs. It's the game they prepare for every year. Why? Because they want to say "We beat the Chiefs!"... That being said, every opponent gives the Chiefs their BEST game of the season. That's why each game seems so difficult. (The OT and LT situation doesn't help. Patrick pressured on EVERY play!) #LFG!

[@jamesboos9031]

The biggest area of concern for me is the play calling. We can mitigate a strong pass rush with 12,13 personnel or chipping with backs. How about quicker passing plays with shorter routes? Running the ball if capable for a bit more balance. Mahomes needs to get on a roll. He hasn’t been the same player in regards to his passing accuracy. So if we can be better play calling it fixes many of our current problems.

[@bradwierck7639]

I watch other teams do this every week.

[@choiyatlam2552]

I feel like Reid is saving some moves for the playoffs. Though, we better have a straight drop play-action. Running from the gun is not as effective as from under centre. Yet, we struggles to have a good straight drop play-action game to go more under-centre.

[@JohnGepford]

Play calling is really tough to do, when your left tackle is getting blown up on every long developing pass play (And, your RT isn't exactly lighting the world on fire). And, the opponents know this, so they are bringing the safeties up tighter. I personally will lay off the play calling, until the tackle play is at least "average". Note. I bet we will see 2 or 3 new OL next year. Both tackles, and Trey Smith (They won't be able to afford to keep him. That may be part of why Kingsley is starting to practice at guard).

[@scars2pruvit-cv2ee]

If I have to pick just one spot to improve, I'd have to say red zone play calls. Everyone knows OL and DB are a bit weak, and many issues follow that, but scoring TD in the red zone would make up for some of the pains.

[@Bankstonbiz]

O line & the secondary

[@JohnGepford]

Secondary took a very key injury. NO team could afford to lose a top corner like Watson, and not suffer. O-Line though... Yeah... OUCH! The Tackle play is so bad, that it's affecting the 3 IOL :(

[@jerryfoust3860]

Chiefs need better offensive line, quarterback protection

[@theresaherman]

Old guy here. What’s the difference between the Chiefs in the 2018-19-20 versus the Chiefs in 22-23-24? Big explosive scoring plays! I think they averaged 30 points a game compared to now its 21 or 23 ppg. Why is that? The Oline is a wreck at the tackle position. This wasn’t a problem several years ago. I assumed that management learned their lesson from SB 55, where TB put a beat down on the Chiefs due to a decimated OLine. They paid everyone but the tackles. So here we are.

[@JohnGepford]

They paid RT Taylor $5mil p/year more than LT tackle Brown got from Cincy. But, they Whiffed. Big time. A RARE MISS by Veach. Very Costly Whiff, I will add.

[@hotcoffee7933]

Left Tackle

[@JP1974-GRUNT]

If this gets average, we win it all again

[@JohnGepford]

Both tackles. Taylor just isn't getting exposed so much, because the DE coming over the LT is beating the DE coming over Taylor to the QB. But, if you notice on a lot of those plays that LT gets blown up, the RT is also getting blown up, but just not quite as bad (Still BAD though).

[@donnafackerell8316]

Pass protection and tackling

[@CameronJohnstonKC]

O line needs improvement. We can correct penalties but the pass protection needs help. Nelson acquistion on D, if you look at last season, had a better grade than Sneed. Hoping that will help the D side.

[@marksawchuk9169]

Your knowledge, content, and presentation is fantastic.

[@davidson2004fatboy]

BRING JASON KELCE OUT OF RETIREMENT

[@dpckcmo]

Great stats analysis, I haven't seen this before!!

[@kjelliot]

thank god someone explained what's going on with the chiefs this season currently. the answer is explosive plays, which is a factor of lots of things, most of which i think will get fixed.

[@travelswithbenny3328]

Ol tackles! That would open up everything.

[@revealing1372]

#1 need is an improved offensive line, #2 is pass coverage IMO

[@nowwithdave]

LT or CB2 are my concerns. Nickel db and safeties have my attention

[@Jerid58]

Left Tackle or chipping on that side has to improve for the 3rd SB.

[@georgemcconnell8883]

In the playoffs I think this is going to be a great combination with old members of Kansas City Chiefs in the defense coming back as well as offense players these guys all want to ring want to get a ring

[@spoon5904]

Let's have Chris Jones play both ways!

[@DoodleDad]

Tackles. Mahomes being pressured so much has crept into his subconscious and it rushes him from doing his reads. Either the LT steps up or they have to design their playcalls around the run and quick, short passes.

[@georgemcconnell8883]

Just got Steve Nelson back for the defense how do you think Chris Jones feels about that seeing the familiar face when they played together I'm sure Chris Jones loves it one of his formal teammates

[@brainsmasher66]

Left tackle and secondary.

[@muskyoxes]

The Chiefs have a massive weakness on offensive line, had it all year, and will have it in the playoffs. I don't know how "pass blocking - eighth" is measured, but i can watch the defensive end blow past the blocking like it's made of water on almost every single dropback

[@stevecoffman2559]

Left Tackle. MUST PROTECT PM15!

[@gregjohnson7270]

The problem with those stats is, the middle of the O line is spectacular center and they really struggle at LT and RT and that's how defenses are pressuring and sacking Mahomes. Hopefully LT DJ Humphries is back in time for the playoffs or we could be in some trouble. I think the Chiefs LT is going to struggle against Cleveland's Myles Garrett, no matter who is there. Hopefully not a big enough issue for the Chiefs to lose the game, but one never knows. GO CHIEFS 3-PEAT!!!

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Interesting video and great analysis perspective! I also agree with some of the comments. I think, the OT is a huge concern, but the reality is they are finding ways to move the ball between the 20's. To me, this makes the red zone a glaring need for improvement. One of the reasons the Chiefs 'don't look like the chiefs' is because they too often have to take field goals. This obviously results in a lower total score and puts more (undue) pressure on the defense. KC needs to do more than move the ball up & down the field - they need to score more TD's!

[@robertjones6396]

Andy Reid is genius. Wait see the final results. After the Superbowl, people will still be scratching their heads saying, "how did they do that?" 3Peat 4 sure.

[@JAD73567]

This is grade A analysis.

[@jefflockington7544]

red zone to meneedsto step it up

[@tommybaze937]

Chiefs need left tackle corner and receiver

[@JaydonWeather08]

Getting Hollywood back soon, gotta hope Humphries can mesh with the offense well by playoff time Corner is something that we’ll just have to deal with

[@johndavid4831]

Offense as a whole needs to be better, and the defensive secondary could be better.

[@joehoover5204]

Chiefs are tied for first in wins in the NFL with the Lions. First in wins in the AFC!

[@garykeeling2275]

O-line

[@lucifermorningstar1075]

Tackles an play calling on offense

[@harveyhorwitz1346]

The play calling is due to the weakness of the tackles. It limits the options of creativity.

[@PepeAtreides-s3b]

OLine especially the Tackles Been this way for awhile now CB 2 comes in second Jaylen Watson went down and the whole D took a step back

[@coolcat9327]

Pass blocking!

[@bobbymartin7031]

Running

[@timmiller4979]

Poor TE defensive overage

[@bonnielee559]

Do you have to have 2 tackles? can u just spread it out and just have like a bunch of TEs and WRs line up?

[@dlodell1960]

Better play from LT and second CB

[@Flyjitsu]

Great analysis! You both need to take two steps back from the camera.

[@61AllMine]

OLINE

[@T-Bone-bq1yg]

LEFT TACKLE!!! Subscriber for awhile now, ngl at this point it seems like you’re blowing smoke up Chiefs asses? Am I wrong? Or are they actually good and people are clamoring for them and fail.

[@georgemcconnell8883]

We have four more games starting with the Browns we will lose one more game that is a fact which one I don't know I'm kind of waiting on the Steelers or the Broncos

[@greeen890]

Cheifs O line is crap and the rest of the team plays like JV. F'n joke. And I'm a cheifs fan. It's pathetic.

[@eistercj2014]

Yes, so many plenty's, so many mistackles, and in the NFL with the monies all of these characters are being paid for just playing with a ball, just like my pet dog!

[@craigcampbell8560]

Offensive line. If Mahomes has time and space he will make plays.

[@Jerid58]

Left Tackle or chipping on that side has to improve for the 3rd SB.
