Wow, shocked Reid would want him. Reid has always been a guy that wants to get the ball down the field and have big plays come from the passing game. I dont see small hands fitting in there at all.
My fear is, and I think I mentioned it when he was hired and started assembling a competent coaching staff as opposed to what he did his last 3-4 seasons in Philly, is that now Reid will do everything right. Now he will hire an actual DC and he did. That he will go back to the basics, like when he first arrived in Philly, and build the franhchise the right way from the trenches out.
Then again he is so in love with throwing the ball, going deep, and and hating the running game, I don't see how Alex Smith fits for that type of system.
La Canfora didn't have the team name (though he speculated the Chiefs were it) but was on the money that the deal was in place.
We'll see if Reid can work can work similar magic with Alex Smith that Harbaugh did.
Here is the big question. The reason Alex Smith worked for Harbaugh is because Harbaugh never forced Alex Smith to do anything he can't. In fact they protected him and asked him to only make the plays he could make. Reid doesn't give a shit who his QB is. He wants to pass, go deep, and regardless of OLINE protection, RB talent, and or game and down situation, he runs the same system with little to no adjustments. Basically the opposite of what Harbaugh did.
Very interesting to see how it works. I do believe KC has some talent on that team and the D is underrated. I can see them competing in that division for a wild card spot.
I wanted to see him in purple.
