KC Chiefs Football

Well, the excitement I had leftover from the Bears and Cardinals games disappeared faster than a plumber who discovered crack spackle and yesterday all I could muster out was a short video with my game reaction… and yes, there are actually a few things to like from Saturday’s game…  I think…

WHAT I LIKED

Derrick Johnson: DJ has been all over the place this preseason and once again was on Saturday night. Johnson’s shedding off a blocker to blow up a screen on the first defensive play of the game was pretty and is one of the few bright spots on the Chiefs’ defense so far.

Young CB’s::The young cornerbacks, particularity Flowers and Carr, continue to progress and show why we drafted them. It says a lot to me that when the ball is in the air coming their way they just keep their cool. I have seen many a veteran CB panic when the ball is in the air and get flagged for pass interference. I don’t belive either of these two have been flagged.  NIce INT Carr!

As you can guess there were also a few things that didn’t impress me so much. A few… lol…

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE

Nick Novak: Last week I had Connor Barth on here and this week Novak earned the nod after badly missing a field goal. Barth’s kicks (the ones I remember) went to at least the goal-line so he may be the one up on the chart at this point but you really have to wonder if the Chiefs are looking for a veteran kicker. Is Feely over that groin thing yet?

Rush Defense: The Dolphins had a 5.4 yard per carry average on 31 carries but 104 of their rushing yards (164 total) came in the second half and 80 of those yards came on one play in the third quarter. Take from that what you will.

–This one is from last week and I decided to leave it in, as it still applies.

Devard Darling: The Darling has done little to impress me this preseason and I am beginning to wonder why he seems to be the lock for the #2 WR. I have heard good reports on him from River Falls, but when is he going to show us what he can do in a game?

Offensive Line: The Chiefs offensive line looked horrible against the Dolphin and considering the only name I recognized on their DL was Vonnie Holiday, that worries me. I hope the o-line doesn’t start doing the Jeckle/Hide thing this year as they have now done in the preseason.

Brodie Croyle: Sure the protection was bad, but he did nothing to impress me in this game at all. If he plays like that later in the season Croyle will either end up getting hurt or taken out and with the backup situation as it is currently that really scares me. We may just put Tyler Thigpen in and let him run for first downs….

That’s all I feel like listing for this week…
