How the Kansas City Chiefs BLEW IT Against the Chargers on the last play

[Iconic]

Spoiler!

The offensive look: The Chargers start in a 3×1 formation to the wide side of the field and motion Travis Benjamin (#12) across the formation to identify man vs. zone coverage. He identifies man, since the DB on Benjamin follows him across the formation. Philip Rivers knows he’s rolling right, and throwing to one of the receivers running the pick route combo (let’s call it a “rub” route since we’re talking offense here).

The Defensive Look: The Chiefs actually have a pretty god look pre-snap in our opinion. They have 5 men on the line of scrimmage (DT, 2 Des and 2 LBs) with 6 in coverage. They opt to play straight man coverage, but choose to bracket (double cover) antonio gates (#85). When Travis Benjamin motions across the formation, the DB covering him runs across the formation with him.

Where the KC Chiefs screwed up: The Chargers’ pick route concept is one of the most common goal line pass concepts in football – from youth football all the way to the NFL. Typically, when receivers are either in a bunch, or lined up close to eachother, the defense will make a “banjo” call in order to counter pick plays. Banjo is a call which tells 2 defensive backs to essentially play a man/zone combo coverage. The DB lined up inside (#23, Kendall Fuller) should cover the receiver who runs an inside route while the DB lined up outside (#22, Orlando Scandrick) should cover the receiver who runs an outside route. The banjo call clearly doesn’t get communicated very well, because Fuller played banjo (by covering the inside breaking route of #16, Tyrell Williams) while Scandrick played a true man coverage (by covering the man he was originally lined up across from, #16 Tyrell Williams).

I mean, Fuller read it right.

****, I READ IT RIGHT.

Does Scabdick fall asleep in meetings...or is he that ****ing stupid?

Maybe Bright Light Nights fry his ****ing brain.

(Punches air.)

Scandrick ****ing sucks. In one of the other Twitter clips, Scandrick is the one Berry is yelling at and seemingly getting frustrated with pre-snap.

Well if Veach would have gotten Breeland, Fullers ex teammate with some chemistry, Scandrick isn’t on this team and mybe it wouldn’t have ended like this. Veach decided on the cheap.

Fuller should have walked over to Scandrick and ripped his head off. I don’t think any Chiefs fans would have cared.

You're an idiot. Fuller read it right - and communicated banjo to SCABDICK.

SCABDICK either went rogue or is a ****ing idiot. Either way he should be cut today, be we ****ed up a d didn't sign Brashaud Breeland when we had the chance.

Could have signed Eric Reid, but nope.

****, Brandon Carr, Terrance Mitchell is an improvement and both could have been kept (in Carr's case, brought back) for peanuts.

We signed Scabdick.

This is some dumb shit right here. Wow...

[kcpasco]

Fuller should go mortal kombat on Orlando to make up with the fans.

Yeah. It's week 14 or 15 or someshit. That's preseason/week 1 shit.

Berry hasn't play since week 1 LAST YEAR and still knows better than the guy who's been practicing and playing every week since he got here in the preseason.

That's pathetic on Scabdick.

It's a coaching failure when people don't know how to line up or what their responsibilities are in week 15. Your job as coaches and coordinator is to prepare your players. Every week, these guys are unprepared.

Maybe something is mentally wrong with Scandrick. Like a personal issue or locker room stuff.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but did make a mental note. In pre-game, when the Chiefs huddle after warm ups to get a breakdown, Scandrick was way on the outside of the huddle, not even looking in to his teammates. The camera guys were closer than he was. It's probably nothing, but it seems odd now given his performance. Like he's not bought in, getting along with the team.

Just curious, if anyone knows. . . did he cash the game check?

What's your rebuttal then when both players are vets and know banjo?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

It's also possible that there never was a banjo call and it was Fuller that ****ed up.

Says the guy who started a “Reid is a terrible coach” thread. **** you! Sutton was getting burnt with the rub routes back in the manning days and still is today. Yes Scandrick sucks but it’s obvious players don’t no their assignments, hence why Berry was yelling at the DB’s on the field.

Bring back public shaming. Allow us to throw rotten fruit at Orlando in front of Arrowhead for therapy.
