Chiefs Defense Didn't Give Vikings QB Brett Favre a Chance

by Joel Thorman on Aug 22, 2009 11:52 AM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp

At the 11:30 mark of the first quarter, Brett Favre threw his first pass as a Minnesota Vikings QB. Unfortunately for him, the Chiefs defense decided to show up.

Three drives. Two punts. One fourth down stop.

Not too shabby at all.

Did the Chiefs get to Favre? A look at the photo to the right will answer that.

The final numbers for Favre in one of the most anticipated preseason games in NFL history: 1/4, 4 yards.

Yep

The first team looked great in the first quarter.

Gotta hand it to Tarvaris Jackson…12/15? Man. That’s a great game.

And

Yes part of the motivation from this post was to post that picture of Favre getting rocked.

Anyone else notice

They spelled it Corie Mays not Corey Mays on the picture description?

We have a deal with the other AP to use their photos…and descriptions.

This is no longer the 32 ranked defense in the league anymore...

The 3-4/Clancy/“we have no 3-4 players” haters can now officially apologize.

Corey, you motorboatin' sunofabitch!

Tell me, are they built for speed or built for comfort?

Yeah what was with the defense after Jackson came in?

Please tell me some starters came out or something. We looked like we were dominating them, then out of nowhere we looked like Herm’s Cover-2 again…

Mobile QB changes everything

We had the same pressure but Jackson could scramble away from it.

It was our first team D

Check out the names making the tackles.

Secondary looked like shit.

Yeah we got burned deep to many times.

But the defense really looks great to me. Yes the secondary was a bit lame last night, but I think they’re a bit off balance because their opportunities to make plays look so much different as they develop in front of them because of the linebacker/line play changes. The secondary will get there before too much longer. Shoot! It’s hard to watch and follow the front 7 on TV… imagine how scattered and jumbled it must look for the dbacks on the field.

But our D is a WHALE of a lot better at the line and the linebacker level. Those boys are just a swarming madhouse of bumblebees right now, and Tamba looks like he’s found his most natural position ever. They’re still catching on and inconsistent, but it looks to me like they actually are going to be able to stop the run and pressure the QB this year. I’m encouraged on the D side.

Now the O is a whole nuther story… the line is still not showing real signs of being able to block for the run very well, and theres a swinging gate over there at right tackle. Dont be surprized if Pioli picks up a veteran castoff for RT in the next few weeks. The sooner the better as far as I’m concerned.

Question from the other side.

Is Larry Johnson hurt because he doesn’t look like the same LJ from years past? Will he still be the feature back or will we see more of Jamal Charles?
