A little later posting this week but hope it's worth it. It was a complicated write and make but wanted to explain the chiefs sustainable onslaught of modern NFL Defenses, someone will work out a counter to this too - and we'll start all over again! Guess Mahomes Passing Touchdown Count this Season ⬇⬇⬇
Just wanted to let you know that established titles was deemed as scam and fraud. Kinda hurts your brand too. Some due diligence on your part will be good. Else next we know you will ask folks to invest in FTX.
Reid is a master play designer. Once teams eventually start copying the 1-4 tactic, the Chiefs will dip back into their endless well of plays for more coverage-busting magic. Many teams have gone away from the 2 deep shell against the Chiefs this season thinking Tyreek is gone and they could press man, but in the relatively short time Mahomes has been in the league he's learned how to beat any coverage with Reid's system and arguably the most capable WR room in his Chiefs tenure. You're always going to be wrong defending this offense, so your only chance is getting them to make mistakes.
The only chance against the Chiefs is basically what the Titans do: * Take away the deep shots and stay disciplined, do not improvise. * Be physical against everyone but specially on Kelce, chip him on every play. * Pressure in the middle but play contain on Pat. * No missed tackles. * Make them hold long grueling hard fought drives And we all know even then the Titans havent been able to take them down in the playoffs
That play against the Jags is pretty sad. The Jags dropped 8 into coverage, and the Chiefs only had 2 receivers running routes, and Kelce still came WIDE open.
Man I love max protect concepts - if teams are gonna play bad static zone you can bully teams with it. If you wanna watch more, check out Josh McDaniels offense, he loves them.
@@davidcarr6633 it’s always been a thing. Tight ends main purpose in an offense is to block and make short catch. Some tight ends receive it good and some do both good. Gronks blocking was elite but his receiving was elite too. Kleves receiving is even better. His blocking is above average. I think kelce is better but tightends need blocking to fit in a whole or else they would have these fast wide receivers playing tight end
The problem for other teams with the 1-4 is that they do not have (a) Mahomes and (b) Kelce. The Chiefs are also deep at TE and have competent journeymen WRs. And the Big Red cherry on top, is Reid devising variations of the formation. So, yes, other teams might try to copy this, but no recipe is complete without a master chef who knows how to use his ingredients.
Well yeah nobody will actually follow the same blueprint but the principles behind it stand. Also some teams may not even see that much cover 6 or split covers because they have much better running games than the Chiefs. Also because the Chiefs have been kicking everyones butt for 5 years with the deep ball.
@@user-qv4fp9vm8u I'm actually really looking forward to other teams versions - the Chiefs personnel is fast and they exploited the boundary out of it most - it'll be interesting to see other teams attack more inside and across the field to match personnel!
While I agree - having the speed MVS and Hardman bring ensures defenses can't attack those underneath zones and it makes going man a tricky decision. Juju can run the same inside routes Kelce does - so it gives you another big body with good hands not afraid to get hit after the catch. Chiefs are not as explosive without Cheetah - but Reid has finally figured out how to attack the defensive scheme that gave Mahomes so much trouble last year. Also helps Mahomes now firmly understands you can't go YOLO bomb as often as he liked to 2-3 years ago.
I love basketball but when you learn the strategies/offense you realise theyre all similar because the ball has to go in the same spot, that's what makes footballs tactics more interesting to me personally - maybe if they invent basketball with 3 hoops I'll fall in love with that too , wait I think thats just quiddich.
Mahomes reads those things in a heartbeat. He’s realized at this point that taking those first, quick reads will work. Mahomes football IQ is what makes him so great.
I agree he has a high football IQ but it took him a while to "realize" those quick reads work, or probably more accurately, to get himself to take them.
@@TheShepdawg9 you see that mahomes always runs outisde the pocket and makes a play when he should have been sacked or make a tough pass perfectly. Or how he uses his eyes to make them open
Seems a bit...uncharitable. I have no stake in the Chiefs or even in that division, but Andy Reid is 19-16 in the playoffs + has a ring. - In terms of playoff win %, he's in the neighborhood of Tom Landry and Don Schula, who are considered greats. - Among active coaches, the only one who is obviously better is Belichick, though Sean McVay can make a case as well at 7-3 if and only if he sustains that. - Pete Carroll and John Harbaugh are comparable in terms of win %, though have visited the playoffs fewer times. - 19 playoff wins is pretty incredible; he is presently tied with Don Schula for 3rd overall, and will almost certainly surpass Landry's 20 before he retires, leaving him #2 overall to Belichick in NFL history. - Speaking of Belichick, he + Brady as the best coach/QB combo in history are directly responsible for Reid not being outright better than Landry by now. I suspect that w/o Belichick, there would be some narrative arguing whether Reid is GOAT for playoff coaches...in part because he'd most likely have another 1-2 rings and a better record, and in part because there wouldn't be a >30 playoff win monster sitting in front of him. Reid is worse in the playoffs than the best playoff coach ever...and not that much worse than anybody else in NFL history...everyone with a significantly better win % wasn't anywhere near as prolific. His all-time record is excellent in regular season, still good in postseason, and by splits he's improved as a coach over time. I suspect he'll forever be in Belichick's shadow, but he's a **** fine coach in his own right and most teams would love to have him at the helm.
Mahomes runs around backfield until defense gets tired, defenders slow down, throws an 89-yard bomb to Kelce. Mahomes is the real deal. Everyone wretches in the collars of their jerseys. Mahomes is a legend and Reid is a mastermind.
@@mikelake2796because defenses I catching up to pass heavy soon there will be defense that can do both 😂😂 rush passer non stop and stop the pass heavy Steelers defense
This channel, along with the film studies the NFL posted, has thoroughly convinced a lanky videogame player that football is more strategic than many sports, with maybe water polo and Ultimate frisbee being up there. It's a real treat to dissect how a specific defense is handled by a specific play.
"Water polo," "Ultimate?" Every sport has strategy, but it comes down to execution, but like Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
Not sure where this channels been all this time! This was probably the best breakdown/analysis I've seen on the tube. Been a football guy since HS could watch this stuff all day. Thats why I like watching anything from fcs to pro's. The difference in scheme/approach. Doing it all with just talent or mostly scheme. Why I love football you can win or lose many diff ways. This was very well put together so much so someone who doesn't get football could follow. Sub, well deserved.
You phrased my sentiment perfectly. Always been an avid football fan but this channel takes concepts I've never even really thought about and explains them in a very simple and elegant way.
As a a diehard fan, I can't get enough of content on my Chiefs like this, and this video was phenomenal! You've got yourself a new fan. Keep up the great work!
Wow! This is impressive analysis. The rest of KC’s schedule should be a walk, but now that they’re establishing a run game there oughta be a few bangers come playoff time.
@@stnbl1569 They have a top 5 offensive line and a few solid #2 and #3 receivers. They’re averaging 4.8 yards per rush, which is top 10 in the league. Aka most of the personnel on offense is very good or elite and that’s clear to everyone who isn’t a QB-obsessed casual…
Every one of your videos teach me a ton of new things to look for during a game. It makes watching games much more enjoyable. Thank you for such great content and for sharing your knowledge. You richly deserve a wider audience.
These concepts completely mask Mahomes inability to read defenses. The pre snap motions. The floods, and developing and coverging routes on from or to the same side of the field allow for mahomes to read one side of the field and read the receiver and space created by the concepts. Reid is a genius
this is so well made. so insightful! for someone who loves football now but didn’t grow up with it, this kinda stuff usually flies over my head. you made it so clear and concise! nice job and thank you
Love watching these because it teaches me so much more about football that I didn't know. So much goes into every play that I don't realize. This is why I love football way more than other sports. It's not just kicking a ball and getting it into the goal like soccer, or running back in forth with a basketball passing the ball back and forth until somebody finally decides to shoot. It's so much more strategic and way more can happen than any other sport.
Fascinating. Reid has been at this a very long time. It makes me wonder why has he not gotten more rings. He has Mahomes who clearly makes Reid's schemes work and look easy. Masterful. It's fun to watch these guys. They truly work together and obviously are a well coached team. It's refreshing. Thanks for the video.
Reid, mahomes and kelce are three of the smartest minds in football. It’s a blessing to be a chiefs fan right now. It won’t last forever… so I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
Subscribed after this first video for me. Great work. One thing this video really cements in my mind is that Kelce can read a defense better than most QBs. He understands the coverages and knows where to go on broken plays to be a consistent outlet. The 13s game against Buffalo was actually two Kelce calls. He called his own number up the seam and Mahomes hit him, but he also call Hill's number knowing his route would open up the space for Hill right behind him. Those two plays put KC in field goal range. But I may have to back off the "Mahomes is the most effective runner" take that Nick Wright threw out. Mahomes is really effective, but Reid is truly scheming up plays for Mahomes to scramble for big gains if the play breaks down. As long as he goes to the weak side of the defense, he's got tons of yards to pick up.
Love the X's and O`s breakdown. This makes it easier to understand how second half changes can be made. Of course, you have to have players skilled enough to execute it.
Great content this tactic works in the madden game as well lol. The matching principles will not work when 4 receivers are to one side of the formation
Mahomes is a player I can’t see why anyone dislikes. Amazing at the game, seems like a good guy and it pretty humble for what he can do/has done. I’m a fan of players, not teams. Definitely want to see him do great things (but not too great to dethrone TB12)
its true it is a copycapt league but not every team has the caliber of a Mahomes-Kelce combo, it will be really interesting watching the different adaptations
Great video. It takes arm strength, accuracy, disciplined players, an x factor tight end, and some serious brain power to run these plays. Not every team has that combination to be able to counter this defense. Mahomes and KC are 1 of 1 right now and I don't see it changing for a while. As long as there is a tight end of kelces caliber on the team the AFC will run through KC for years.
great explanation. I appreciated that you kept giving examples. Still don't if I will be able to recognize any of it during a game, but at least you've given me a chance. Earned you a Subscribe. Thanks.
Like everything always is, it's a cycle. It's funny but I feel that a well organized Cover 3 defense would give this 1-4 stuff fits. The issues they present become less frustrating if you don't play man so the pick routes/mesh aren't available, but the disadvantages of having 2 deep don't also get exposed and you have more bodies in the box to cut off screens/picks/runs that have become common. The next evolution of hybrid defenders is going to have to grow up fast and front fours are gonna have to become elite to help with this or you'll go back to seeing the deep ball/4 verts/chip wasp stuff annihilate defenses. It's a tough situation for sure.
I am a new fan of the NFL. Would watch a game every now and then but never really delved too deep into it until last year. Am still learning a lot but I know way more than I used to. I used to and still wonder sometimes what announcers and people mean when they criticize/compliment coaching or a play call but when I watch the chiefs play and see the way they execute on the field I get it. Andy Reid is amazing.
@@ThinkingFootball I mean it's not *that* hot. Considering they have the best record, and teams like the Bills and Bengals just don't look the same. I could definitely see the Dolphins going. Could you do a video on their success?
these vids are so good man. well done to you and your team. makes me realize just how fuckin fast everything moves in the NFL, and how quickly windows open and shut.
Dude I still don’t know who is narrating this one or the others you’ve narrated but you’re legit the best at explaining and illustrating schemes and plays
By far the best channel breaking down all 22 film and explaining what makes the chiefs great in simple terms so that we can all look for in the next game
Great break down. The only way any of this happens is with a QB is so mobile like Patrick. He is hard to get your hands on and he releases so fast it's near impossible to stop him. Reed and Mahomes are a great combo!
Hit the nail on the head. The reason why Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL right now is the combination of his arm, his legs, and his vision. Allen has the arm and legs but not the vision; Burrow has the arm and vision but not the legs; Hurts has the legs and vision but not the arm. (Greatly simplified, of course.) Mahomes is the only one active who is elite with all three elements.
bro called him kermit and thought we wouldn't notice lmao but I liked this video! I have a few ideas for ya to improve these videos but Thank you for making them!
Keep doing your thing bud! The amount of time you dedicate to these breakdowns doesn’t go unnoticed! Your killin it right now. Gonna be fun to look back on this a year from now and see how much your channel has grown
Ben binging your videos for a while. You guys are geniuses with what you’re spotting. I was wondering how they kept up this crazy offense while losing some key pieces. Andy reid is crazy !
building on to the comment at 12:00, Wylie is a guard. You can see in that play that he has no clue how to defend the edge, like he’s almost scared to be out there. He’s been on the team for a few years and has been decent, but with injuries landing him in the RT position i really think coaching needs to look at sliding him back in and giving someone else a shot
Terrific material. My reaction upon watching this is to conclude that the Chiefs success is a combination of concept and personnel. As brilliant as the concepts are, it does not work anywhere near as effectively without superior talent. My prediction is that whenever Caleb Williams enters the NFL, his team will adopt this offensive system. And, I believe, Williams will be just as successful as Mahomes is now! (Particularly if he has adequate supporting talent.)
Wow, these are the best play breakdowns I've ever seen! I follow UA-camrs with a lot more subs, but these are way better Thanks to the YT algorithm for showing me this.
The Mahomes/Reid/Chiefs offense is as wonderful to watch as the Montana/Walsh/49ers. I remember when everybody AND his brother intensely studying that offensive machine.

Guess Mahomes Passing Touchdown Count this Season ⬇⬇⬇
80 minimum
46 with Kelce having 18 of them.
I guess hell have 38-40
Rest of our schedule is easy so I see more running game in future. Mahomes would end up around 45 with Travis having 16

great explanation. I appreciated that you kept giving examples. Still don't if I will be able to recognize any of it during a game, but at least you've given me a chance. Earned you a Subscribe. Thanks.
Love these videos. Really shows how amazing these people are
thinking basketball now thinking football…i dont know if its a coincidence but both of your channels are amazing! thank you!
Like everything always is, it's a cycle. It's funny but I feel that a well organized Cover 3 defense would give this 1-4 stuff fits.
The issues they present become less frustrating if you don't play man so the pick routes/mesh aren't available, but the disadvantages of having 2 deep don't also get exposed and you have more bodies in the box to cut off screens/picks/runs that have become common. The next evolution of hybrid defenders is going to have to grow up fast and front fours are gonna have to become elite to help with this or you'll go back to seeing the deep ball/4 verts/chip wasp stuff annihilate defenses. It's a tough situation for sure.
always such quality videos and explanations. Much love.
Great work! Loved it, and learned a great deal. ❤
Excellent analysis! Just riveting!
I am a new fan of the NFL. Would watch a game every now and then but never really delved too deep into it until last year. Am still learning a lot but I know way more than I used to. I used to and still wonder sometimes what announcers and people mean when they criticize/compliment coaching or a play call but when I watch the chiefs play and see the way they execute on the field I get it. Andy Reid is amazing.
This was such a good video explaining the strategies it takes to win a game. It proves having a good coach is the make or break of a team.
I think the chiefs will win the super bowl
In what year? 😂
Hot take
@@andrewandthecatfives what you the Bengals going again?
@@ThinkingFootball I mean it's not *that* hot. Considering they have the best record, and teams like the Bills and Bengals just don't look the same. I could definitely see the Dolphins going. Could you do a video on their success?
@@nicholas104 I was being sarcastic lol - Covered the Phins a few weeks ago - ua-cam.com/video/aE9i1lq7cZg/v-deo.html
I love this - love seeing the game broken down this way. Keep it coming!
Thanks for this video as this make more sense as to what Travis was doing last game, as you could see the motion and the adjustments that were made.
Went and rewatch the Super bowl again and you can see this in the second half on touchdowns.
Absolutely on point analysis! Nicely done. 😎👍🏈🔥🔥
Yeah, not a kc fan, but your breakdowns are always enlightening, in-depth, and well put together! ✌🏽
Wonder how much Nagy coming back to KC helped this. He basically spent all his Chicago years with a Fangio scheme
This is brilliant analysis. Thanks for doing.
Nice job dude, I subscribed
I’m dying at the tutorial background music. Much respect for the way you’ve constructed this video
Amazing breakdown !! Look forward to more of these..it’s amazing to me how after 20+ years of film Andy Reid is still in his bag 🤯
Dude is always innovating
Perhaps Andy's bag is like a magicians prop where he just pulls out endless new plays... and cheeseburgers 😀
these vids are so good man. well done to you and your team. makes me realize just how fuckin fast everything moves in the NFL, and how quickly windows open and shut.
Really well done video. Appreciate the time and effort
Very well put together 👏🏽
First-rate analysis! LOVE this video!
Can you camouflage the zone by having one corner go across with the motion receiver? Kind of like the box and one in basketball. Thanks in advance.
Fantastic video! 3rd time watching. Man! What a chess game!
Dude I still don’t know who is narrating this one or the others you’ve narrated but you’re legit the best at explaining and illustrating schemes and plays
You and Johnnydel football academy are the best. Subscribed ✅️
By far the best channel breaking down all 22 film and explaining what makes the chiefs great in simple terms so that we can all look for in the next game
Excellent video. People often argue with me about football. Those same people, watch this video, and can't understand the language!
9:33 three open option, crazy. Well said
Great break down. The only way any of this happens is with a QB is so mobile like Patrick. He is hard to get your hands on and he releases so fast it's near impossible to stop him. Reed and Mahomes are a great combo!
Hit the nail on the head. The reason why Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL right now is the combination of his arm, his legs, and his vision. Allen has the arm and legs but not the vision; Burrow has the arm and vision but not the legs; Hurts has the legs and vision but not the arm. (Greatly simplified, of course.) Mahomes is the only one active who is elite with all three elements.
Brilliant analysis sir!!!
Coach Andy Reid is a genius, along with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the squad, the Chiefs are unstoppable 👏👏👏👏
bro called him kermit and thought we wouldn't notice lmao but I liked this video! I have a few ideas for ya to improve these videos but Thank you for making them!
Keep doing your thing bud! The amount of time you dedicate to these breakdowns doesn’t go unnoticed! Your killin it right now. Gonna be fun to look back on this a year from now and see how much your channel has grown
Ben binging your videos for a while. You guys are geniuses with what you’re spotting. I was wondering how they kept up this crazy offense while losing some key pieces. Andy reid is crazy !
Bro this video was waaaaaay better then those ESPN analyst! Thanks King
Brilliant vid and breakdown!
Great content breakdown by the way.
building on to the comment at 12:00, Wylie is a guard. You can see in that play that he has no clue how to defend the edge, like he’s almost scared to be out there. He’s been on the team for a few years and has been decent, but with injuries landing him in the RT position i really think coaching needs to look at sliding him back in and giving someone else a shot
Well put together video. Thanks for making it.
More Chiefs & 49ers boss. Get your view count up. They have the fan base and the dynamic schemes to be interesting. Great stuff
Excellent break down. Thanks.
First time viewer. And happen to be a chiefs fan. That’s was awesome!
I’m curious if dropping the DE on the 4 side into coverage, on plays where the back goes in motion would help
Terrific material. My reaction upon watching this is to conclude that the Chiefs success is a combination of concept and personnel. As brilliant as the concepts are, it does not work anywhere near as effectively without superior talent. My prediction is that whenever Caleb Williams enters the NFL, his team will adopt this offensive system. And, I believe, Williams will be just as successful as Mahomes is now! (Particularly if he has adequate supporting talent.)
Wow, these are the best play breakdowns I've ever seen! I follow UA-camrs with a lot more subs, but these are way better Thanks to the YT algorithm for showing me this.
The Mahomes/Reid/Chiefs offense is as wonderful to watch as the Montana/Walsh/49ers. I remember when everybody AND his brother intensely studying that offensive machine.
Great insight. Football is so special.
This is great. Subbed.
