Good morning Kansas City Chiefs fans!
We've got another great post-game tradition for you today - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the Chiefs' NFL preseason win against the Green Bay Packers.
We've got more Good to talk about than Bad and Ugly, which is a fantastic feeling to have while writing this.
Joel and I collaborated on this one - it's all there, after the jump...
The Good
- Javier Arenas' 44-yard kick return (51-yard punt). LB Cory Greenwood nearly blocked the punt on the play (He might've tipped it).
- On 3rd and 1, Matt Cassel faked a handoff to the right and a pitched to Dexter McCluster for 14 yards.
- LB Demorrio Williams had a great sack. He lined up as a right end with his hand on the ground (Playing Tamba Hali's position) and zipped past Green Bay's right tackle to make the sack. It was his third sack in two games.
- WR Dwayne Bowe, streaking across the field, caught a Matt Cassel pass at the 30-yard line and took it down to the 3 yard line.
- S Kendrick Lewis broke up a pass on the goal line.
- S Ricky Price had a better pass breakup. The Green Bay wide receiver essentially had the ball caught in the end zone but Price wiggled his hand in and twisted the football out.
- Javier Arenas broke up a TD pass in the corner of the end zone.
- RB Jackie Battle's (TE Tony Moeaki sealed the hole) 50-yard run down the right side of the field.
- Both Matt Cassel and Brodie Croyle led touchdown drives.
The Bad

"It's tough to accept a 300+ yard passing game when your opponent's second string offense is playing your first string defense. Matt Flynn lit the Chiefs' secondary up at times."
Easy killer. Our first string defense put up four straight three and outs and then they were sat down. The majority of those yards were again against players that won’t be on this team on Saturday including Mays.

Disagree
Quite literally half (149) of Flynn’s yards came in the first half.

The Chiefs #1 defense was on the bench after the first quarter.
There were cameos by guys like Williams and Mays(if you can call him first string) but otherwise staters as a unit were long done for the night.

And I believe they gave up 12 yards passing in the first quarter
though some of that was on the GB quarterback.
Predictions:
This year will be better
all in the 2nd QTR
when Chiefs were mainly 2nd string the whole time. We did have 1st/2nd string LB’s in, but who is the true 1st string LB’s. Green Bay didn’t have a 1st down in the 1st qtr.

by my estimations...
the first team d allowed 18 yards on four possessions… really? I’ll take that shit all day long.

Our D has been on point thus far. Despite a few missed plays, our D looks like a totally different operation this season. Hopefully it translates in the regular season… Starting with San Diego.

I'm liking out first team defense
They play aggresive, do a good job disrupting the play and put pressure on the quarterback . But God help us if we eveer have a major injury on defense. I don’t think we have the depth that other teams have. Watching Price, Daniels, Bates, and Morgan (I think that was the 3rd string secondary) get torced in the 4th quarter made me think of the Herm-era defense when our QB played 15 yards off the line. It was painful to watch.
Did anyone else notice we put Lokey back in on the final drive to put pressure on Harrell? It’s almost like Haley and Crennel knew we weren’t getting pressure on the QB and they wanting to put Lokey back in to help perserve the win.

With three key members of the Packers offensive attack standing on the sidelines, the Chiefs first-team defense did exactly what you wanted to see them do. Simply put, the first-teamers dominated the Packers offense last night.
The Chiefs forced Green Bay to go three-and-out on their first four offensive sets and the Packers didn’t record a first down until the second quarter when the Chiefs began substituting defenders.

I agree
Honestly, I could care less how many yards passing they give up, when they’re stopping them when it counts — which brings me to a GOOD…
GOOD – GB offense was 0-4 on 4th downs.
Face it, our defense is going to give up some yards. The important thing was they were able to keep GB out of the end zone, mostly. That’s good news, even if it was 2nd, 3rd and 4th string players…

I'll take 300 yards passing on our 2nd and 3rd stringers anyday
if it means that those same players are shuting down the opposing offense on game winning drive time and time again.

Saw some good young DB's who need experience
and when, if they get it, we will have one of the finest secondary’s in the league. As far as the big passing numbers put up against us, some of that was do to scheme like when we blitzed. Lokey led the way where was the ball carrier who was to slow to the line.
That Horne play was definately ugly
probably the ugliest play all preseason. Hopefully it doesn’t cost him a roster spot with us because I really want to see him on this team for some reason.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
He looked like he was running in place there...so slow
I like that he is putting the effort in to make the team, but /facepalm

Me too. I’m kind of waiting to see who will emerge as our Belcher this year.

if it comes down to reps on the first team
Horne has caught a touchdown pass from Cassel in traffic, and Urban just dropped everything thrown his way. If its those two in a battle for the spot, it has to go to Horne.

I think that final spot goes to a lawrence or copper first
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
let me think here...
Bowe, Chambers, McCluster, Urban, Horne, Lawrence, Copper. Those are the 7 guys who realistically have a shot at making the roster.
How many did we carry last year?
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
hmm, ill check on how many last year...but...
I would predict 6
Bowe, Chambers,Mccluster*
hmm…maybe we keep 5 and keep an extra HB.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
wait with mccluster as half hb...I think if hes on that list, its 6 for sure
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
With six
Chambers, Bowe, Dex, Copper, Horne, Lawrence. That’s in order of my preference.
I prefer all of them over Urban.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
Should've put Bowe and Dex in front of Chambers
But I think you get my drift…
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
yeah, that kind of scares me looking at that list. As it almost seems certain that urban takes a spot over 3 ST players...doh
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
I would want to keep copper/lawrence/horne over urban but....bad feeling about one of those 3 losing out to urban
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Good call
I suppose 3 ST guys is too many, although I see Horne as a guy that could maybe develop into a receiver for us.
He’s done better as a WR this preseason than Urban has.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I think he figured out about 5 seconds in..
OH CRAP!! this isn’t college

I'd like to see him on the Practice Squad
The way he played in the first couple games I didn’t think he’d make it past waivers if released, but his play yesterday may have actually helped the Chiefs in retaining him. It was all a part of “The Process”.
Predictions:
This year will be better
Yeah it could be an option for him on the Practice Squad
but he did catch a TD from Cassel working with the first teamers so hopefully that gives him a leg up, and he always seems to be around the football on Special teams plays.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
True
But he could use some polish & the PS is the perfect place for him to get some with no risk to the team on Sundays. I’m not crazy about Urban either, but considering his experience he probably makes the team better than Horne (at this point anyway). Even if you keep Urban around for half a season to develop Horne on the PS & then move him up, that might be a better option for the team.
Predictions:
This year will be better
He's a small school free agent signee
Just based on that I’d say he probably makes it through.
Predictions:
This year will be better
But what if he doesn't, some other team snatches him up, and he turns out to be an Andy Studebaker, or a Ryan Lilja?
I don’t think keeping him as our 6th WR is too big of a risk. I say keep him over Lawrence. Bowe, Chambers, McCluster, Urban, Copper, Horne.
+1
We already know that Lawrence can clear waivers.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
I saw that as just a dumb rookie move...
…and probably a mistake from which he learned. I really don’t think it will cost him a roster spot. Especially when Urban hasn’t done a thing all pre-season.
I agree
He has 1 catch for 7 yards this preseason.
He had two drops last night alone.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
S Ricky Price had a better pass breakup.
Are we ignoring the fact that Price had no idea where the ball was until it was in the receiver’s hands?

It happens, but the end zone isn’t the place to let it happen. A big error.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.
-Jared Allen
Except it wasn't
Because he broke up the pass.
Would you get mad if a QB ALMOST missed the wide open guy at the back of the end zone? Or a RB ALMOST fumbled it as he ran for a 15 yard gain?
I understand your point, but he did in fact make the play.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
You’re comparing three completely different situations.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.
-Jared Allen
Fair enough
But he still made the play, right? How about if a LB almost let the QB juke him out, but managed to barely bring him down for the sack at the last second?
I have no idea if I’m getting close on these comparisons (fires shot in the dark), but do you get my drift?
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I really don’t. How about if a linemen completely misses a block but somehow recovers and makes a play on the guy that beats him. Sure, he made a good play to stop a sack, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he got beat.
Mistakes are mistakes regardless of how the situation ends.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.
-Jared Allen
I'll cave, that makes sense
But you’ve got to admire someone who sees it through and doesn’t give up.

Yeah, he did make a nice play on the ball once the receiver caught it.

It is just as important for players to recover on the fly from poor positioning and poor reads as it is for them to make the right read from the start.

basically it comes down to...
from a “We Need to Win This Game” perspective:
It was a good play, because the team didn’t score.
from a “Player Evaluation” standpoint:
it doesn’t matter because he got lucky anyway. Same pass 10 times, the receiver is going to catch it 9 times, so it doesn’t give you much hope for future passes that may come his way.
You’re both right.
You're
whining about methodolgy when results are what actually matter.
Not how it was accomplished but that it was accomplished is the point.
This space for rent.
Not to jump on the other side of my own debate
But I’m gonna.
The only problem with the way he did it was that that way won’t work every time. Next time the receiver may hold on tighter, or manage to shield the ball a little better. It’s obviously better to not let the ball get there in the first place. So it is a decent point that he started off badly there.
He recovered well though, and that’s good.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
Good:
Corey Greenwood… I think he showed enough last night to make the 53.. and if not he’s definitely a PS candidate. He had a couple of tackles, almost blocked 2 punts, and on one of those block attempts he got up, ran down the field and laid a killer block on a defender that helped spring Arenas for his big return.
Battle… it’s set in stone. He’s the 3rd RB.
Lewis… made a couple of plays that stuck out, wasn’t really out of position, and I expect him to step into a starting role sooner than later. Again, he’s just been solid.
Charles… even though he seemed to have a hard time running the ball, they got him the ball on some passing plays that he took for big yardage.
The Chiefs seem to have the ability to consistently eat up big chunks of the field with people that aren’t named Charles this year… It was JC and only JC that was a big play threat for us last year, now it seems like we have 4 (JC, DMC, Bowe and Jones)

I was more impressed with Williams’ runs. They should more athleticism then Battle who hit the wide open holes.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.
-Jared Allen
If the line can open the holes like on Battle’s big play it doesn’t matter. But Williams seemed to have a better ability to extend the run after he was hit. I’d have to see the clips again to say that for sure, but that was the original impression I got from watching the two.
If someone asks you if you want extra mayonnaise you have to say yes, cus that's part of it.

I know you and I have lobbied on here for Williams in the past
but what is the chance of him making the team this year? I hope he does, but Im not sure he is going to make the cut.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
I'm going to say 0 chance.
Maybe he’s eligible for the practice squad though.

Battle has been doing it all preseason though.
He finds the holes and bursts through them.
I remember one play last night where there was a gap between the RG and RT, and the RT was getting pushed in to close it. Battle hit it and got through, and there was just enough space for him to make it. It was an impressive run, and showed patience and good vision by the back.
Like I said he’s been running like that all year so far.

Practice squad? Is he eligible?
Jones won’t last forever, so keeping Williams under contract could be in our best interest.

I believe he is
He was activated toward the end of last season, but I don’t think it was long enough to disqualify him from the PS. We just have to hope nobody snatches him up.
Well, not against ATL :)
But yes, since then he’s been very impressive.
Could we seriously be splitting carries among 4 backs this year?
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
They all bring a different skill set...
We’ll see, but with a backfield like we have, it can’t hurt to keep legs fresh and spread the ball around.

WIth a pounding RB as a threat, that play is tough to stop.

I liked finally seeing the wildcat...
But IMO WRs need to be removed from that package. 5 OL, 2 TE, 4 RB (counting Dex) would be a real nice sight. Jones can block/carry/catch, Dex can run/throw, Charles can run/catch and Battle could block/run/catch.
Quadruple threat there.

And that’s saying a lot, because I have been one of his biggest critics. He’s like a poor man’s LJ when he was in his prime. Only without the attitude and felony charges.

But would any of our RB’s stiff-armed that tackler to the ground the way he did?
The line opened it up for a 10 yard gain, but his tough running made it a 50 yard gain.

OL
Yes, the OL was opening some serious running lanes in last nights game. On Battle’s long run and Williams runs, I was really impressed.
Not sure if this was because we had 2nd string players going up against 3rd & 4th string players or what. They did a great job though.
i agree to an extent
there’s no doubt that battle looked good, but with the same Oline, there wasn’t a drop in production
Charles
They only ran him once and he turned a broken play into two yards.

I see what you’re saying, but I believe that we can find a way to get them all after the QB on a 3rd and long, or at least 2 of the 3 and fake a blitz with the 3rd guy to keep them guessing.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
Good? GOOD?
I think you mean NASTY!!!!

how could I be so foolish?!
maybe its the excitement of seeing us win, but yes NNNNAAAASSSSSTTTTYYYY
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Off topic but...
Lendale White torn achilles gone for the season. Donkeys couldnt keep a RB healthy for the last five years if their lives depended on it.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
are they even going to be able to field a team this year?

Maybe Brodie snuck into their locker room
And broke a vial containing his blood. Which, obviously, would infect their entire team with the virus known as CSH Syndrome.
Bonus points to whoever can tell me what that stands for.

Nice
Not that it was that tough. But nice.

I know it's a joke
but Croyle’s problem is his body, not his blood (or heart). He seems tough enough, but simply doesn’t have the genes to cooperate.
I was trying to imply
That he has some sort of virus that causes it :)
That said, I do think that he’s got heart. Like you said, his body just betrays him.

Really? Man...
If I was a FA I’d have serious reservations about signing with DEN. It’s like their snake-bit right now…

Speaking of Moeaki
Did anyone else notice that he’s a very, very good blocker? Every time I saw him in there on a running play he was giving some LB or DB a good pop and keeping them out of the play.

Is anyone else really hoping
that Dion Gales makes the cut? I think this guy has a lot of potential and could definitely be coached up to a starter role
"the Chiefs and their fans, well, we're a family..."
I like Gales, there are a few guys
Gales, Lawrence, J.Williams….on the bubble that I just dont want to see released
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt

yeah, that's a tough one
Gales really seems to do a good job getting into the backfield
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?
Is Demorrio Williams now making enough plays for everyone?
That’s been eveyone’s argument against him.
Is it okay to start saying he will be our starter at ILB?
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I think people were moreso just commenting on his 16 game ONLY tackle stat season last year.
but yeah he looks like he should start opposite belcher
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt

If I could rec that comment 3 times myself
I would

You mean when he led the team in tackles?
My point is if DJ was getting these sacks then people would be pissing themselves over him. Yet DWill does it and about all I hear is crickets. I don’t get it.

oh thats completely true...
it was sort of like DJ’s big hit that last game….I mean….it was nice and all…but lets be real, the WR didnt have control of the ball and it just popped out…
he makes that play and its WOW DJ OMG…
and if a mistake is made, demorrio takes FULL blame, while DJ slides along as this guy with potential who just “isnt getting a chance to start”
im with you
Demorrio/Belcher
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Exactly.

Meh...
If you would have been around lately you’d have heard me making a lot of noise for Williams over the last couple of weeks.

Geez, you make me sound like a dead-beat Dad or something.....
DJ is the darling of AP…. he can do no wrong…. and DWill can do no right.
I just want people who trashed Demorrio all offseason to acknowledge that he has stepped it up.
We should all be more excited.

SHAME.. SHAME, lol...
Nah, I ain’t mad… Actually I’ve been off and on around here lately too… works been kind of busy.

DJ actually stepped up this game and is gave demorrio a run for his money
if he plays consistently like he did last night he should start with belcher, but i can live with williams starting. Just NO MAYS
If Mays starts
There will be a riot in KC. Probably a little one, but a riot nonetheless.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I'm not sure why they pair DWill with Mays all the time...
Maybe it’s like they tried Belcher and DWill together in practice and all they did was run into eachother over and over again.

haha yeah

on kalophoenix's last post
i swear i saw them paired together on at least 5 snaps. at the end of the day, it will be a linebacker switch-fest with vrabel hali dj dw belcher and studie (minus of course mays…ugh…) . I can’t believe this sounds so awesome now compared to a month ago. (ok must regain my cautious optimism…)
CHIEFS WILL

good point irish
I think the competition really showed between those two… and BOTH played better for it.
continue that all season, change the starter every week… whatever works.
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?
wasn't it good to get a win...
and stop a drive at the end of the game?
Also…I think Succop needs to keep trying the 50 yarders…he can aspire to that and achieve it.
Desertchief
agreed
no reason for Succop to get in the dumps. At least the misses were in the preseason. Anything kicked beyond 50 yards is going to be tough, I dont care who they are. I feel comfortable that if its less than 50 and the game is on the line Succop is going to nail it.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Agreed
It’s not like he’s badly missing. PKs need preseason too.
Like Colquitt, his best asset is arguably upstairs. He’s not going to become a basket case after a miss or two. Our kicking situation is set for years, and that makes me a happy camper. :)
yep happy here
It was sad though when Colquitt was the best player on the team. Not trying to take away from the guy, but damn of course you are going to lead the league in kicking when your doing it 59 times a game!
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Greewood almost blocked that punt
then hauled ass back to make a block about 15 yards from where Arenas made the catch to spring him into further yards… Helluva hustle by Greenwood.
If you can sack groceries, you can sack a QB... right?
The kool-aid is now Berry flavored.
very impressed with his play last night.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
hopefully it was enough
I’m really rooting for him to make the 53
especially because i think Herron sucks
