[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 999088, member: 4199"] It's a fine line to be sure and the whole thread is hitting two topics. Topic 1: I assert, and I think Cap agrees with me, that the Packer simplified the offense, at least as far as the WRs go, because we had three rookies and new player (Watkins.) I do not know what, if any, changes KC made to bring their 5 new players up to speed. Maybe they limited the packages/formations/routes of each receiver? Maybe condensed the entire playbook? Maybe they have better coaches? Maybe a simpler offense? I don't know, I'm just speculating. Topic 2: Talent and Experience relative to production in the scheme. The Packer primary pass catchers, WR and TE, were not scary until Waston returned from injury. Opposing defenses could control/contain/shutdown the group too easily, allowing them over-emphasize defending the run. Yes, Jones is an excellent receiving running back, but without a healthy Watson, he's kind of the only weapon. Key on him, run or pass, and the offense sputters. The Chiefs were protected against this because of Kelce (he all but demands a safety over the top) and to a lesser extent, MVS. MVS' route tree got better, but even if all he can do is run a Go and catch 1/2 of the Go's thrown to him, that can be enough to break a defense. The other WRs just need to do "just enough" and the offense will flourish. Case in point: he went off 6/8 for about 120 yards in the AFC championship game, 0/1 in the Super Bowl. [/QUOTE]
