Why don't any teams run the Saunders offense?
I was thinking about this because of how much I hate our current offensive scheme. Loathe it. Andy maybe I'm partial to it because it was the greatest offense the Chiefs ever had, but I was watching some clips from that team, as well as looking up some stats, and I honestly can't believe no teams run it.

The one thing that stood out to me was that while the Chiefs scored practically at will, they were always way up there in time of possession. That combination, alone, would make you think someone would want to build an offense around Saunders' system.

Anyway, I look forward to more 1st and goals from the 3, lining up in the shotgun, and doing a fake jet sweep option reverse to our third string tight end.

They had a great offensive line, a very good qb, a great rb and the beat tight end to ever play the game.

Tough to run that offense without the ol

Let's be honest...Trent Green was fairly unproven when we acquired him. Priest Holmes we picked up for nothing and wasn't supposed to be a starter. Eddie Kennison was just trying to stay alive in the league. Gonzalez and Shields were really our only proven players.

Edit: And I'm not suggesting we run that offense with our current personnel. Just curious why other teams haven't tried to replicate the scheme. I loved watching all the pre-snap shifting to try and reveal the defense. Lots of guard and center pulls to the edge. Lots of misdirection RB screens. Lots and lots and lots of play action. Just don't see anything like it, really.

Roaf wasn’t a proven player? That offensive line was one of the best ever.

We picked him up in 2002. I should have clarified with the Gonzalez and Shields mentions...I used them because I was talking about players that were here prior to Vermeil. But yes, as far as players we picked up, Roaf was one of the best.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when we picked up Roaf, didn't most think his career was over?

The QB has to have a lot of time to run that Offense.... that's why we spent a shit ton of money on the O-line and none on the defense....
