We had some site issues this morning. Sorry about that everyone. We're working on getting caught up.

Another week of Kansas City Chiefs football. Another post tracking the offensive line stats.

We're five games into the season so we're starting to see patterns develop and see this line settling in to what it's probably going to look like for a good portion of this season:

Numbers are after the jump but here are a few nuggets of info that may interest you:

LT Branden Albert - 4.5 (5 games played, 5 starts)
G Andy Alleman - 0 (2 games played, 0 starts)
G Mike Goff - 3.5 (5 games played, 5 starts)
T Ikechuku Ndukwe - 1.5 (3 games played, 3 starts)
C Rudy Niswanger - 0.5 (5 games played, 5 starts)
T Ryan O'Callaghan - 0.5 (4 games played, 2 starts)
C Wade Smith - 1 (5 games played, 0 starts)
G Brian Waters - 0.5 (5 games played, 5 starts)

I assume that the number next to the players name

is sacks. Albert seems to be struggling and he plays next to Waters for the second year now. Assumming Waters was supposed to be helping groom him, what has changed from last year? I thought he only had like 4.5 sacks all year. The coaches need to get a handle on this now or he will loose his confidence and his play will really suffer.

I wish I had the magic answer to help fix this line!

Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!

I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.

i don't think it's sacks

according to the chart, we’ve alowed 17 sacks this. the numbers next to the players names only adds up to 12.

Look at Niswanger and Godd...

Niswanger: “C’mere Matt lets get this over with…Mike help me out here he’s getting away!”

Goff: “S***, Jay, let me give you a hand…”

Last year Albert was 325 & using his weight for leverage.This year he’s 308 & learning how to play the position the way it’s supposed to be played.Last year we ran the shotgun most of the time so #’s are misleading.Got that from Haley talking to the press This am.
