Devin White, not a fan of Chiefs' coaching
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...rb-in-round-1/
A message for Chiefs about Super Bowl game plan for Patrick Mahomes, offense One word: ouch, White didn't hold back By Patrik Walker 1 hr ago It goes without saying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enjoying not only the victory itself in Super Bowl 2021 over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, but most certainly the spoils thereof. Take one look at linebacker Devin White and you'll immediately find evidence to that fact, having now gone from taking his Dream lap around Raymond James Stadium on his horse to grabbing a scalpel and surgically dissecting the Chiefs for a second time -- this time verbally. Never one to mince words, the All-Pro is fed up with hearing how Kansas City was at a disadvantage because they were without starting tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz, both sidelined by injury. To put it plainly, White wants everyone to can those excuses, tie them to a rocket and fire them into the sun, as he so eloquently made clear in a recent interview with FS1's "Undisputed." The 23-year-old laid into head coach Andy Reid, offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and anyone else who had a hand in scheming protection for Mahomes. "We knew that they was gonna be a cocky team, which they have every right to be," White said, via NFL reporter Dov Kleiman. "They [were] the No. 1 offense in the entire National Football League. But the thing is, we knew they couldn't block us. We knew that our front four was gonna dominate them. "So they did us a favor. They played right into our hands." How so? Well, White points out the Chiefs' refusal to send any help to the edges. "We weren't gonna be that cocky team like, 'Hey, we're gonna play them in Cover One, we're gonna shut them down,'" he said. "Our best guys matched up on their best guys. We was gonna make it be a team, collective win on defense, and that's what we did. So at the end of the day they shouldn't even talk about not having their offensive tackles when they didn't even help them. "They put them on islands by themselves with the best pass rushers in the game. So that's their own fault." In looking at the film, White is telling the truth. Kansas City's plan to pretend their backups could play iso against the vicious defensive front of the Bucs was doomed from the start. Mahomes was under siege most of the evening and when he finally did break free at times, it was for naught, thanks to drops by franchise targets like tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill -- with running back Darrel Williams getting in on the drop action as well. Mahomes was sacked three times and bullied much, much more than that would indicate, having also been hit a combined nine times in the game. Shaq Barrett alone owned one of those sacks and four of those QB hits, with Ndamukong Suh and others also joining the party to keep Mahomes out of the end zone both on the ground and in the air. He'd finish with 23 incompletions and two interceptions on the day, and while he was able to muster 270 passing yards, White says they shouldn't go writing home to mother about that number. "They started gaining yards when we were already up 21 points," said White."We already gave our little brothers the controllers, and they just started giving up little BS yards at the end. I know everybody praising Travis Kelce [for having] 133 yards, but a lot of that came at the end of the game when it was already over -- we're sitting back in zone and playing soft. The same for Tyreek Hill. "... They gave him a lot of yards and it made it look like he had a decent day. We know what went on, there was a lot of toe tagging out there." |

Reid coached a car wreck of a game. It was easily one of his worsted. Bucs were fooled by nothing. White was right about that.
It's interesting to see the Bucs feeling a bit raw about the comments to the Chiefs injuries and overall uncharacteristically poor play and coaching. Feels like the little brother is having his moment. |

If you want to blame it Britt...go ahead. There is an army of coaches on the Chiefs that Britt isn't related to. He was an assistant defensive coach...not Vince Lombardi. If you think professional NFL coaches cant compartmentalize...well, I dont know what to tell you. You really think Reid was thinking about his son when the game was happening? Nope...not in a million years. It's not like he died... There is a reason the NFL props up Brady...and it has nothing to do with football. Let's just say they find him "useful"....

Maybe this has been mentioned, but I don’t recall seeing Mahomes and Reid together on the bench once. Usually we will see them sitting down discussing things, especially when it’s not going well. Possible that I either missed it or the cameras didn’t catch it, but it seemed odd and concerned me. Then it became clear that we weren’t going to do anything different and no adjustments were coming. Not an excuse, but the Britt situation seemed to factor in, even if no one acknowledged it or wants to admit it.
Devin White may be a punk, but he’s a super bowl champ and the Chiefs lost their opportunity to prevent him from running his mouth. It’s just like anything else, history is written by the victors. |

I was fine with Reid just using 5 man line and chips to start but he should have moved to max protect pretty quickly once he saw what was going on.
The longer developing routes also made no sense. |

I don't think there was a whole lot the Chiefs could have done differently adjustment-wise. I know lots of talking heads believe differently, but that's not what I saw watching the game.
The Bucs knew they could essentially get immediate pressure rushing four. They schemed their defensive approach around that basic fact. Chiefs could have played better. The receivers dropped balls they should have caught. Mahomes could have thrown a shorter, easier pass in place of the deep shot on some plays. But when a four-man rush gets instant pressure consistently, and the opposing DBs and LBs know that, it's going to be tough sledding no matter what. |

Ask yourself...how many "car wreck" offensive games plans has Reid devised off a bye? This one was for a SB...
It didn't even look like the same team...this is a top 10 all-time, HOF HC...and, supposedly, an offensive-minded genius. Chiefs should give up 3 entire drafts to get the top LT...obviously its a 25 point difference in Mahomes post-season average of 34. Who knew that the Chiefs offensive prowess hinged solely on the above-average play of Eric Fisher...*belch* Last edited by BlackOp; 02-17-2021 at 12:58 PM.. |

The team was just not the same as we’ve seen them for 3 seasons. Didn’t hardly see the players interacting, didn’t see Mahomes and Kelce rallying the guys. Britt Reid ****ed us, and that’s not the worst. He almost killed a kid too.

Reid's timeouts before half were the tell-tale...nobody does that...especially against Brady. Did they not watch the Packers game? Had they not realized how the officials were calling every ticky-tack instance against the Chiefs? I knew it was coming..and said so before the PI call. I've watched football for 40+ years and had never seen that before....they were getting the ball back after half-time anyway. You can blame Britt if it makes you feel better...but those time outs had nothing to do with it. |
