Rivera can learn a lot from Andy Reid

Recommended Posts

With 1 min 55secs left to play and up 16 against the Denver Broncos, the Cheifs decided to let their DT throw a Td pass. Why? According to Reid:

"I've learned this over time: You can't score enough points against these teams,'' Reid said. "We don't take anything for granted. We're going to score as much as we can do it.''

Remember this the next time we blow a lead by going into conservative mode.

Many coaches can learn a lot from Andy Reid.

Clock management is absolutely at the bottom of that list.  

Especially in the Super Bowl.

Reid is one of the greatest offensive minds the NFL has ever seen. He's arguably second only to Bill Walsh in his understanding of the West Coast offense. His effectiveness at running that system and the brilliance of his play designs have made numerous average quarterbacks look like superstars.

But yeah, the biggest criticism of him tends to be poor game management (just like Rivera). That, and the fact that his teams have a tendency to fade in the postseason.

The Chiefs are/could be a decent parallel for us. The defense, the run game, a mobile QB, great TE, and questionable coaching at times. 

Since Eric Berry isn't walking through our door, though...let's at least learn the quicker pass offense that helps Reid's QB and WRs.

Outside of them both being mobile, I couldn't disagree more.  Cam and Alex aren't close to being the same "type" QB.

IMO.

Andy was most likely thinking about the Chiefs highly improbable win over the Panthers when he said this.  

Rivera grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory that day.

Can't pin that one on Ron

Cam's int and KB's fumble gave that one away...horrible loss...likely worst of the year

Cam and KB's poor decision making/play were only fuel on the fire started by Ron's "play not to lose" approach once this team has a lead.  

Ron lacks a killer instinct.

Which, to this day, baffles me.

In his introductory presser, Rivera came off like a guy with no mercy.  It was like watching Conan describe what was best in life.

Somewhere amidst the adversity of the first two seasons, Rivera went from barbarian to librarian.

I am half expecting to hear Ron say "It is what it is" and "a punt is a good play" in his next presser, then his transition to Fox ball will be complete.

    • Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
    • And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
    • dude..........   You are way to emotional here
