Thoughts on Chiefs-Falcons

I didn’t notice him much but I’ll take your word for it (I’m a trusting guy like that).

Yeah, to even further back up your opinion, I have to add something about that first drive, when ATL was ramming the ball down our throats for a good chunk of it.

After going back and looking, I could see that it wasn’t merely Edwards’ fault that the yards were gained. Call me crazy, but our ILB’s looked very slow filling the gaps and on two of the runs it looked to me that they were running to the wrong gaps.

I really, really, really, really, really, really would rather see Belcher in there than Mays. DJ over Williams is a little less of a big deal to me, but it did seem (after watching the game again…and again) that DJ outplayed Williams.

but good write up man… keep em coming and dont let the grammar police scare you off

DJ played against 2nd and 3rd stringers, so how is it you think he’s Dick Butkus (re)incarnate now? as for TJones, it’s his job to run up the middle … the whole point of the first few plays was to make sure Cassel could hand off to him in an effective manner (he did and that’s that, evaluation complete for that particular area)

it’s not, btw, Charles’ Team … it belongs to Clark, and there’s plenty of paperwork to back that up … I do agree that Belcher is better than Mays, but he’s the “big hitter” compared to DJ (if they had Mays and DJ in at the same time, nobody would ever stop anyone on the inside and that would NOT be a good thing

and I’m disappointed with your disappointed list … way too long and has people on it that don’t belong there (unless you feel that every player on the team should always be better than every player on every other team on every play … if that’s the case then perhaps it’s you that should be off playing Madden)

oh yeah … “thanks for reading”

There were a couple of plays I remember where JAckson wasn’t double teamed and made them pay. One in particular he took his single blocker and drove him towards the running back , forcing him to bump to the outside, where another tackler was able to bring him down.

Jackson looked ok… at least better than last year. He needs to build on it and show us more against TB.

That game seemed to take a much bigger toll on the Falcons than it took on the Chiefs.

Also, I didn’t get the sense, at ALL, that the Falcons were facing a bunch of amateurs. Sure, I would’ve preferred that the front 3 created more disruptions, especially on those early possessions, where the Falcons were successful moving the ball. Oddly enough, though, I almost wanted to see the defensive unit sharpen its claws on the field and the offensive unit keep working on their timing on their own, and not give away too much too soon. They got McCluster numerous touches, and found a way to get the ball to Moore, Battle, Williams and Castille, too.

Somebody’s going to lose the game of musical chairs at RB, and, I’m happy to say, it looks like the choice is going to be a tough one to make. I’m sad/happy to say that the guy who winds up on the PS is likely to be snapped-up. I thought others were drinking the Kool-Aid talking up KC’s RB corps (Charles and Jones), but it looks like the bubble players are all pretty good, too.

I agree he struggled a bit in coverage. My impressions were high on his kick returns, to which I should have been more specific. Does your rookie statement mean that you don’t want both Berry and Kendrick Lewis starting this year?

Studebaker to push Vrabel out of the starting spot before the end of the season.

He did look bad, I think his tenure with us might be expired.
