Preseason Game 4 Chiefs vs. Rams - What I think…
We needed this game. Everybody did, the players, the coaches and definitely us fans. I realize a lot of the Rams’ first stringers didn’t play, but tell me you don’t feel better than you did last week.
Since I got back from the game after midnight last night I didn’t have a chance to re-watch the game yet ( I barely made it into work, lol…), but here is what I think I think.
WHAT I LIKED
Pat Thomas: Yeah I am mainly basing this off of the second defensive play of the game when he came breaking through the made a great tackle for loss. When we first saw the play we just assumed it was DJ, that should tell you all you need to know.
Young CB’s::The young cornerbacks, particularly Brandon Carr, stood out to me this game. He had a very nice breakup of a deep pass.
Rushing Offense: The rushing offense was very affective in this game. If we can run like that all year we won’t have any problems (I know, only the preseason). All of the backs ran hard and it will be a tough decision for the Chiefs on how many RB’s to keep on the team.
B.J. Sams: He had some very nice returns and almost looked like his old self. His returns set up the Chiefs offense with great field position. How serious is his injury and did it cost him the KR/PR job?
As always there were also a few things that didn’t impress me so much.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
Dantrell Savage: I have him on here because of the fumble on the opening kickoff, but after that Savage worked hard to make up for that and didn’t let the fumble keep him down. He ran hard and had some very good returns after Sams went out with the injury. The question is, did he do enough to make the team or did that fumble cost him his job?
Tyler Thigpen: I can’t really tell you any specific plays here, but Thiggy just didn’t impress me at all this game. Combine that with Huards showing and I think we all know that if Croyle goes down Huard will be the one to step in, not Thigpen.
–This one (below) has been on this list for the last TWO weeks and I decided to leave it in again, 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? HOW DO YOU NOT CATCH A PASS THE ENTIRE PRESEASON?
The No FG decision: Fairly late in the game the Chiefs had a chance to kick a long field goal and they decided to go for it instead. I would have love to see one of the kickers attempt it. Don’t you want to know if your kicker can make a field goal late in the game when the weather is not friendly? I do… I understand why they didn’t but I still would have liked to have seen it.
That’s all for this week. BRING ON THE REGULAR SEASON!!
