The weakness in this is in shutting down both the run and short passing game you must rely on deep passes to keep the chains moving...

Another dirty little secret that is absolutely "essential" in allowing the WCO to be amazingly effective is you must have an amazing O-line or at least a good o-line of which we do not. Our o-line is below mediocre IMO. On a scale of 1 to 10 we are a 5 when it comes to run blocking and a 2 when it comes to pass blocking and collectively it comes out to be a 3.5 overall. I assure you Alex has NEVER trusted any of his Chief o-lines since he has been here and he doesn't trust them now and it is showing for sure.
I have never been sold on Reid/Dorsey's group of guys for our o-line.
