It is well-established that the Kansas City Chiefs have a plethora of weapons on their offense Jordan Evans Jersey , but what really makes that offense special is their scheme. Andy Reid has figured out how to make full use of all of his tools. He uses creative play designs to get the ball in the hands of his play makers. A large part of this involves his use of motions.The Chiefs start out in a bunch formation on this play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins motions across the formation, then comes back in and the ball is snapped as he approaches the quarterback. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes lobs Watkins the ball as he passes by then carries out a play fake with running back Kareem Hunt. Watkins plays off the blocks of his fellow receivers and picks up the first down. Since Watkins started in the bunch, the defense had already declared how they would align to three receivers on that side of the formation. This means that before he even started his motion, his blockers knew who they were blocking because they knew how the defense would respond to him coming back across the formation. The Chiefs also run this Jet Sweep play from under center with the receiver motioning just once.The Chiefs start out in an empty formation (no back in the backfield) with quads, or four receivers to the left. One by one De’Anthony Thomas, Watkins, and Tyreek Hill all go in motion. The ball is snapped as Hill approaches Mahomes giving the threat of the Jet Sweep. The San Francisco 49ers defense is forced to adjust to this flip-flopped formation, and Hill is open on the swing pass and picks up a first down.On this play, Hill starts off aligned tight, but motions out wide outside of Watkins. Reacting to Hill, Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Casey Heyward also moves out and safety Derwin James bumps out slightly. Mahomes carries out the action with Hunt, but keeps the ball as linebacker Denzel Perryman steps towards the run. As Watkins runs the arrow route Vincent Rey Jersey , James takes a step to the outside towards Watkins’ route. This opens up the window Mahomes is looking for to hit Hill on the slant. Hill’s speed does the rest as this short pass turns into a 58-yard touchdown. The motion created the space the Chiefs needed to get the read on this play.This is a form of Run/Pass Option (RPO) which is essentially just triple option. Hill starts off as the third receiver on the top of the screen. He motions across the formation, then back into the backfield and behind Mahomes. When the ball is snapped, Hunt crosses Mahomes’ face. This part of the play is a simple zone read, and since the defensive end starts to bend, Mahomes keeps the ball. With two receivers remaining to the right, the Chiefs can block to defenders on that edge. That means the next read is the third defender, in this case Perryman. Perryman turns back to Mahomes for just a second, but it is enough to know that Hill’s speed will prevail on the edge. Hill is able to pick up the first down. The next play starts off the exact same as the last play. Hill goes in motion in front of and then behind Mahomes. Mahomes and Hunt mesh and Mahomes pump fakes to Hill on the swing, but then turns to the other side of the formation and throws the tight end screen to Travis Kelce. This is a great misdirection play that allows Kelce to pick up the first down.The block on the defensive end is the most important block of the Toss play and is often handled with a wide receiver coming from the outside on a crack block. Here the Chiefs get their biggest and strongest athlete in a position to make this block by motioning Kelce across the formation and then back in to time up the snap and hit the end on the move. Unfortunately, the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive pursuit stops Hunt for only a short gain.This is another motion that sets up a Kelce block. Here he is lined up wide to the bottom of the screen and motions in tighter to the formation. This allows him to swipe across the formation on the snap and block the backside defensive end. This sets up a nice cutback opportunity for Hunt on the Inside Zone play. After handing the ball off to Hunt, Mahomes carries out a fake reverse with Hill.This play works off the play in the previous clip. This time Kelce lets the defensive end bend and instead continues to the outside. Mahomes fakes the hand off to Hunt and then gives the reverse to Hill. Kelce blocks out on the first defender he sees on the edge, but once again the Jaguars’ defense is able to minimize the Chief’s gain.The Chiefs continued to build on this concept against the New England Patriots. Kelce once again swipes across the formation Womens Tyler Boyd Jersey , but this time he is pass protecting. Mahomes fakes the hand off to Hunt and the reverse to Hill and then throws the screen to Hunt who picks up 25 yards on the play. Once again Reid builds another play off of the same basic look.The Bengals will need to be flexible on defense and make on-the-field adjustments in order to prevail over the Chiefs. It is important to note that in two specific cases above one play had a counter working off of it. The Bengals must be aware of this and expect those counters to come. The Jaguars were able to mitigate the Chiefs gains on a couple of these plays with good pursuit. It will be important for the Bengals defense to rally to the ball in these situations and not allow a play to break for a big gain. Terrell Owens always likes being the center of attention. His decision to skip the induction ceremony for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August will keep him far from the spotlight.Owens was voted into the hall in February after being denied in his first two years of eligibility. His announcement Thursday is unprecedented by an enshrinee.”Hopefully, the story this summer will remain about those that will be there instead of the one that will not,” said Howard Balzer of SiriusXM Radio, a 15-year voter for the Hall of Fame.In a statement released Thursday by his publicist, Owens said: ”While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton.”After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere,” Owens added. ”At a later date, I will announce where and when I will celebrate my induction.”The hall confirmed that the former All-Pro receiver informed them he would not be on hand Aug. 4 for the enshrinements.”We are disappointed but will respect Terrell’s decision not to participate in the enshrinement,” Hall of Fame President & CEO David Baker said.”While unprecedented, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Cordy Glenn Jersey White , the nearly 5,000 volunteers and the entire community are committed to celebrating the excellence of the Class of 2018 that will kick off the NFL’s 99th season.”As we do not want to detract from this great honor being enjoyed by the seven other members of the class of 2018 – Bobby Beathard, Robert Brazile, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher – their family, friends, and fans, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will have no further comment on the decision made by Terrell Owens.”Owens entered the league as a third-round pick by San Francisco in 1996 and developed into a star known for some memorable playoff appearances, including his winning 25-yard TD catch to beat Green Bay in 1999; his 177 yards in a comeback win against the Giants in 2003; and his nine catches for 122 yards in the 2004 Super Bowl against New England just seven weeks after breaking his leg.He ranks second to Jerry Rice with 15,934 yards receiving and is third on the all-time touchdowns receiving list with 153.Owens heavily criticized the voting process when he failed to be elected in 2016 and 2017. Among the reasons he fell short were his being considered a divisive teammate and negative presence in the locker room.Still http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-tyler-eifert-jersey , he received strong consideration for the hall before getting in last February, along with Moss, another standout receiver.”I think T.O. actually was disappointed when he got in this year,” said Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News, who presented Owens’ case for induction and has been on the selection committee for 16 years. ”I think he was happier when he got snubbed and could play the part of the persecuted victim and moan on every radio talk show that was willing to bring him on about the unfairness of the process.”Maybe he was worried that he would become forgotten after the induction ceremony. This way, he gets his gold jacket, but still will be remembered as the guy who told the hall to go stuff it.”Another Owens supporter in the hall voting, Jarrett Bell of USA Today, has been on the selection committee for 21 years and was ”at a loss to understand” why Owens would decline to attend the inductions.But Bell, like Baker, stressed Owens’ absence would not affect the ceremony much.”Think of the other members of the class of 2018,” Bell said. ”They deserve their upcoming honor and the celebration. There’s no stain on them because someone doesn’t want to show up.”Think of the players who gave their all to the sport Womens C.J. Uzomah Jersey , including many worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, who will never be enshrined. Think of the family members of former players, coaches and officials – many of whom have passed away – pushing for their loved ones to receive special recognition for career accomplishments. Then think of Terrell Owens. In that order.”As perhaps an indicator he might skip the August ceremony, Owens didn’t attend the announcement that he’d been selected to the hall.”All these years Owens wanted to go to the hall and was quite vocal about it,” said Rick Gosselin, a hall voter for 23 years. ”Now he doesn’t want to go to the hall? It’s kind of puzzling. … I wonder what all of his new teammates wearing those gold jackets think.”Owens did thank the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bills and Bengals in his statement and called becoming a Hall of Famer ”an honor to be part of such elite company. This honor is something that I will cherish forever.”He just won’t be on hand to see his bust unveiled in August.”But don’t think of even considering it a sad day for the Hall of Fame,” Bell said. ”The hall will always be bigger than one person.”—
