Major's Read: REC ONE FOR THE SECONDARY

by MjrMajor on Oct 24, 2011 12:37 AM CDT

REC FOR THE SECONDARY MY FELLOW CHIEFS FANS!

After all the talk about how "bad" Kyle Boller is, and how "rusty" Carson Palmer was (I think he's just like he was... getting old), how bout the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS SECONDARY! I mean come on, give them some props, because we have all complained at them for making bad QBs look good in the past. Credit the deserving.

and Hey Misters Bird and Beard - Kendrick Lewis is a STARTER, he did not replace Eric Berry. Get it right.

official recongition after the jump...

Tied for second with the franchise record for six INTs Sunday... the list of the pickers

Travis "Did you know I played in 16 games in 2010" Daniels one for no yards...one pass defensed

Jon "yeah I'm still here - and I ain't Sabby" McGraw one pick for no yards... one pass defensed, SIX tackles-FIVE solo

Brandon "Throws to your 2nd WR get picked too...OOPS" Carr one for two yards...two passes defensed, one tackle - one solo

Kendrick "Shattering the NFL dreams of Kyle Boller" Lewis one 59 yards to the HOUSE...one pass defensed, FIVE tackles-THREE solo

Brandon "Get that sh%t outta my face chump" Flowers TWO picks - 52 yards total and one to the HOUSE, THREE passed defensed, THREE tackles THREE solo... and a damn good choice to interfere on a blown coverage.

That's six picks, two TDs and those folks defensed eight other passes, fifteen tackles - twelve solo.

All without their leader, Eric Berry - one of the best safeties in the game. Get well Eric. I just think these folks deserve some recognition for a great day and taking advantage of a favorable situation and just putting the smack down. Its the NFL, and they did their jobs for sure. That's all we ask as fans, so congrats to the secondary for putting on a hard hat in the Black Hole and getting it done.

So give them all a rec folks!!! I hope they take more pictures soon. :)

GO CHIEFS!

Chiefs vs Kyle Boller

Did anyone really expect anything different?

All the above?

Lewis set the tone but Flowers played his heart out. Seems like the Flowers we all know and love is back. We will see.

For the lulz

I said Hue Jackson. Why in the name of Al Davis he started Palmer over Pryor is beyond me. If I didn’t know any better, Lamar was on the field.

all week I kept saying they should sit palmer through the bye....he made such a fan decision, fox sports has a good article up ripping him for it

Romeo "Here's Your Game Plan of the Week, Buddy" Crennel

should at least be an option … unless you’re (ahem) Not Sure

nice post, Sir

Forgot a shoutout to Lewis in there.

How about when he stood up Joseph “strongest man in the draft” Barksdale to blow up a running play for minimum gain.

*Correction

Looking back on it, Javier Arenas is the guy that stands up Barksdale.

Now if he'd jack up WRs at the line the same way, I'd be overjoyed.

He's isn't even allowed to try ...

and neither is any other DB in Romeo’s “Give Free Release and 10 Yard Cushions to Everybody” defense. So we don’t even know if he could? We don’t know if they even teach and practice jamming under Romeo and Thomas? Now Arenas could improve his trailing coverages, and even his man-off timing. He’s been seriously lacking in those areas.

Now, hopefully, Flowers, Lewis and Carr are ratcheting the proper timing down to defend passes and jump routes in Romeo’s switch to a Cover 2 scheme this year. Cause man-off and trailing coverage read-zones its going to be. And hopefully Carr keeps on holding inside leverage the rare times when he’s playing man, gets his head around every time, and plays the ball. Plus, when he’s playing man-off as well, he keeps on ratcheting down his timing on the ball too.

Learning to play DB in Romeos’s schemes – its kind of like getting the valve lash down pat when running solid lifters; seems a good analogy to me. Ohh, and Lewis needs to learn to wrap-up and go low when stepping in to stuff the run; too much arm tackling.

what about Arenas?

scored a TD and played better in coverage…

by stagdsp on Oct 24, 2011 11:07 AM CDT reply actions

QB was part of it.

I think steady pressure from different angles was huge in this one. For the first time, almost, the Chiefs developed good pressure off the base 3-4 D. Jackson either ate a pair of blockers or blew up the pocket. Win-win, in my book.
