Chiefs on Pace to Double Last Year's Sack Mark

We're an easy bunch to please. After last year's record setting 10 sack season, the Kansas City Chiefs are on pace for 24 sacks.
Yeah, yeah, it's a small sample size, I know. But there is some hope with the front seven. Chris is coming up with a more detailed post on the defense but I wanted to highlight that something as little as three sacks every game makes the Chiefs pass rush twice as good as last year.
Today there were two sacks.
- Derrick Johnson sack on 3rd and 10
- Wallace Gilberry sack on 1st and 15
Yeah, like I said, it's not much but it's still a start. After two games, they're tied for third place in the NFL.
Other bright spots on the defense:
- Tank Tyler again had seven tackles
- Glenn Dorsey had four tackles
Unfortunately, though, they didn't get any of those turnovers they got in Baltimore. Despite having one of the most inaccurate games that I can remember (and let's face it: I'm a Chiefs fan so I know about inaccurate passers), JaMarcus Russell did not turn the ball over.

The sack that was ruled "piling on" by a simaltaneous
touching of Jabba the Hut
By Gilberry and Vrabel
What about the two safeties not called last week vs Ravens?
Maybe Hunt didn’t make the required retirement payment to the Zebras fund this year?

I'm pretty sure...
every time you touch the QB now its a flag…didn’t you hear it in the game?
Personal foul, touching the passer, defense #so-so. 15 yard penalty and a kick in the nuts, first down

It was "douching" the passer.
I remember Dawson to Taylor, Kenney to Carson, and Blackledge catching the snap in his facemask. Seen it all...

Now the "tackle" that drew 15yds was complete horseshit
sorry but it’s the best word to explain someone who wasnt down then tackled like everyone else on the field.

You sure about that? I’m puzzled about how it could be a late hit when the ball is still in Russell’s hands.

This alone
leads me to all my talk of improvement.
I thought with the switch to 3-4, we’d be even worse. But Hali is getting around the edge on almost every play.
We’re getting close to average, folks. And that’s a step in the right direction. we keep this up, the wins will come.

Id be laughing...

When you are 6-26 in your last two plus years, how can you be positive?
You are what your record says you are

To You Gofbard
We are 0-2 period
The rest is just crap and I for one am tired of hearing that 3 year running record.
We are a new team and have very little in common with the Herm era.

The tackles and penetration by the D Line
is a bigger deal than the sacks. Sacks are a great thing, but seeing our D line play like they did today and (especially Tank) getting all those tackles has me more excited about our D Line than anything since we added Tamba to Jared (not that it worked out like I hoped, but I was excited about it).

i must agree
Tank and Tjac played very well today

T Jax did nothing today, Dorsey played excellent, It was his best game as a Chiefs, He had only 4 tackles but he got penetration, Pass deflect, He was reading plays very well. He is gonna be something.

T Jax did fine
it was his SECOND nfl game. it’s really hard to name a DL that made a huge, immediate impact. Because he’s there, it Allowed Dorsey to be free to make the plays he did.

Conflicting opinions, I see. Some think Jackson played well; some think he was invisible. I really wasn’t impressed. Yes, I still wish that he weren’t a Chief—or more specifically, that he weren’t the Chiefs #3-overall pick.
