Now before anyone starts spouting off with "wrong forum" crap read the whole post plz.
So we all know last week, KC's Defense shut down the Denver offense, and stopped them cold in the rushing game. It looked like we found the pefect way to beat the zone blocking scheme (more farther down) but stuffing the run play after play.
Now then i watch last nights game and i see Denver running wild over the Pasties D. Im talking huge wholes left and right. Bells arent being touched till 5-10 yds down the field. Now, with all that said... back to my question just with the rest of it. Is Denvers run game weaker than in the past, OR is KC's run D that much better?
IM not talking about just the stats, KC was getting thier Defensive linemen to hit the Bells at the line of scimmage or in the backfield. I noticed that the few good runs Tater had in the KC Denver game was mainly on the plays when KC's DE's didnt get up the field. When Jared Allen and Tamba Hali were getting 2-3 yards into the backfield on runs, they were taking out 2 blockers at a time by themself, allowing clear holes for Mitchell, Johnson, Bell, and even Reed and Edwards to slide over and take the hole up untouched. Then watching the NE game, the DEs were hardly making it up the field because of the 3-4 scheme IMO.
I didnt notice this last year, so is it something knew that Denver has to figure out why someone can be as succesfull as KC was doing something soo simple, or did KC's D just really figure out the Denver offesne after all these years?
