Chiefs vs. Texans: Second Half Overflow Thread
by DThomasReigns on Aug 15, 2009 9:46 PM CDT
141 comments
The Chiefs trail the Texans 16-10 at the moment after a TD pass from QB Tyler Thigpen to TE Brad Cottam.
5 minutes to go.
Head coach Todd Haley has made the 2009 Chiefs training camp about situational awareness, and this is as good a test as any for both sides of the ball.

you are right, I am vision impaired, that’s why I’m watching the last drive again.
1:30 – Throw over the middle into traffic with 3 whites
1:20 – flees the pocket because he can’t read the defense, gain of 10
:55 – Run by savage for a gain of 10. 1st down
:42 – 1 and 10. Flip to savage, idiotic, fumble, loss of 10.
3 down 25 – throw across the field. Stupid.
4 down – had to throw, but picked off

Ain’t saying he’s better than Cassel, but his short-clock play’s better than BC’s. He’s got his team moving, and he made things happen, good as well as bad, and overall more good than bad.

If every game
was a 2 minute drill thigpen would be great. It’s not, in a real football game, the 60 minute kind, you actually have to play under center, take a 5 step drop and make a throw. Thigpen can’t do that. Brodie can. Brodie was WAAAAY better than thigpen.
You are right. I hate thigpen. He represents two wins, terrible qb play, and the occasional wow play, followed by a pick.

And Croyle represents
vanilla play, some bad decisions (last year, as the starter), and fragility.
you cannot teach durability, or will to win.
You really think Croyle would have done better last year? I don’t.
You’re a TT hater. If Tyler walked on water, you’d gripe tha he can’t swim.

I thought he played better, but he’s not going to lead a team to the superbowl… so don’t really care.
Thigpen I do care about. he’s fun to watch, yes, some good plays, yes. but he is terrible. he won two games last year. and if we let him he would walk on water and lead us to the promised land…
… of another 2-14 season because he is THAT bad.

Then your eval of him isn't going to be accurate
Croyle looked better than last year, Cassel looked tenative, more afraid to lose the game than motivated to win the game.
Thigpen, whatever his lacks, played with fire, and his leadership was obvious.

and TT's inability
to read a defense, go through a progression, and make a good decision and throw is the defenses fault?
He also had dbowe, gonzalez and johnson. plenty of O. Oh, and an entire offense geared towards the little strengths he has. He sure produced with that.
by thalove on Aug 15, 2009 10:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Going thru a progression is a luxury Thiggy's NEVER HAD.
We don’t know if he can stand up and throw from the pocket, because there’s never been a pocket for him! And if he had one, it’d take a while for him to settle down to the point where a good eval could be made.
He hasn’t looked impressive on those few plays where good fortune or good feet bought him time to survey the field. But those opportunities were, again, few.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
by hmills110 on Aug 15, 2009 10:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
disagree
the reason it looks like he doesn’t have time is because after a half second he scrambles, and the of course he has guys chasing him, because HE broke the pocket.
If he had any kind of pocket presence, you know… the kind where you step UP in the pocket and make a throw, instead of burning rubber out to the left or right. he could try and make a throw. Brodie wasn’t scrambling for his life tonight. and neither was cassel.
Why is tyler treated special? Because he caught a flea flicker pass from Bradley last year? Hardly qualifications for a good qb.

I thought Cassel put the ball where it was supposed to be.
If he had the starting WRs in there, he would have moved the ball. He doesn’t quite have Brodies arm but, Cassel is still the best overall QB we have. They were playing Matt “close to the vest” as Haley said in his post game. They ran the ball alot and were not slinging the ball very much.
Fucking WRs.

First off lets wait till regular season to evaluate croyle vs. thigpen
Thigpen has proven much more when it actually counts…Plus thiggy had no actual WR’s to throw too…
Croyle looked good yeah, but he had 2 of our start wr’s out there..Thiggy was playing with the scrubs..
Seriously, its preseason..Wayyyy to early to make judgements
Thigpen would have won most of his games had we not had one of the worst defenses in history..Seriously people, we went from terrible on offense to solid and exciting because of thigpen..How quickly do you forget that Croyle had his chances and didn’t ever throw 2 td’s in a game!!

All the QBs did okay tonight.
It’s actually one of the few positions I’m not worried about.
I will still say that Brodie was the most impressive tonight for sure. That arm is a fucking cannon! I have been chastised for saying this before but, I think Brodie is the most gifted QB of the three we have. Just my opinion.

WR'S = Bowe, Bradley, Toomer, Engram
I think Haley was just trying to evaluate other wr’s tonight..He knows bowe, bradley, toomer, and engram can do it because their is plenty of video of them performing well at the nfl level on actual sundays

Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

You CAN judge Cassel.
His on-target throws were dropped. Cassel looked good.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

3 drops I think wasn't it? Cassel didn't have the "quality" recievers out there I don't believe
Engram and Toomer never even got on the field, Bowe was on with the second squad, etc.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...

This is the problem...
Doom and gloom for the bad things
Everything is fine and dandy for the good things…
Cassel tossed 5 passes and two of them were dropped. Mind you he also had two awful receivers at his disposal. Also KC ran almost every snap he was in and they threw every other player Croyle and Thiggy played.

More concerned about
the penalty total and the turnovers than the QB play.
D-Bowe, Mark Bradley, Bobby Engram and Turtle. Four Chiefs WRers. 4 Pro Bowlers.

Yea, turn overs were not a good thing, but I expected the penalties in Pre Season play.

I agree
I thought all the QBs played pretty well. Cassell looked real good. If only the fucking WRs could catch the damn ball. Seriously, the way Cassell steps into his throws is awesome. His mechanics are out freakin standing and he seems to make the right reads. He needs to get the ball out quicker though.

First Post game from Haley
Haley said he was playing Cassel “close to the vest” and ran it a lot. But thought Matt did just fine.

I'm not
worried about a single thing. It’s the first preseason game. I know that there’s things you can judge from even preseason games, but I’m not going to zero in on anything yet. I’ll start making my opinions of players next week.

Same here, was great to see the Chiefs play again, it was great just to see them out on the field again.

Preseason always reminds me of the commercial from 2006 (I think?)
Where the raiders fans are at a barbeque after going 4-0 in the preseason.
Raider fan – Super bowl this year, no doubt.

I think our Offense will be fine this year
Haley wanted to check out certain players, and there not running any plays that are going to give teams an indication of how were going to play once the season starts.

Penalties are the scary part.
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!

True, plays were all vanilla for both D and O.
Probably the best thing out of all of this is proving to these guys what Haley and coaches were trying to teach them. Big difference between the practice field and playing in a NFL stadium. Good experience for the ones that have never done that before. Guarantee you the line up will be different next week against the Vikings.

I cannot wait until tomorrow morning
when I can finally watch what happened on NFLN. I just can’t have any real opinion until I see what in the hell happened.

We did not look real crisp, that is for sure.
( No sackable offenses in my opinion:) Oh wait two sacks!!!

I spotted him sitting next to Toomer, he was sort of drawn back in to his shell because of the rain.
They were discussing something about routes, Toomer was pointing to a laminated sheet and showing him something.

Did Darling catch any passes? Or was he invisible?
