Chiefs-Bears: Move Video Clips Of Chiefs Doing Work, And Not
I know it's almost time for the Jets game and these clips are almost ancient now but it's still interesting to discuss the plays for three or four of you out there. Sunday seems a lot longer away since I don't get to watch the K-State Collin Klein's, I mean K-State Bill Snyder's, derr....Wildcats on Saturday. So Sunday can't come soon enough for me as I'm sure it's the same for all of you.
After the jump you'll see links to 10 plays from the Chiefs game against the Bears with a little description of each play. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, and a couple of them are awesomely bad. Guess which side of that ball that is all you 'friends of the feather'? Did he just drop a major league line on us? Yes, yes he did. If you don't know what I'm talking about, goggle it. Yeah, I know. Use that to a friend and see how quick they correct you.
First play. I know that throughout a lot of these video posts I tend to give a lot of love to the big nasty's in the middle of the defensive line. It's mainly because it's part of the defense that most people not named Kalo don't watch on a play-by-play basis. I personally tend to pick out a different defensive player on each snap and just follow them throughout the play. It's easy to follow the ball in the periph'. In this play you'll notice the one particular big nasty (#72-Dorsey) hold his ground and allow Belcher to run free and make the tackle. Dorsey holding his ground allows Belcher to take an angle that allows him make a play in the backfield, as opposed to determining what would happen on this play if Dorsey gives ground and doesn't allow for Belcher to take that angle. How many watched this play and gave most of the credit to Belcher at first-glance? Uh huh, exactly.
Second play. There are two different things I really like about this play and maybe it's just me that really looks for this one particular thing. First of all, Travis Daniels is the best #4/5 cornerback in this league. He made quite a few plays in the Bears game and this is one of them. Besides the great open-field tackle on the speedy Johnny Knox, watch he and Flowers communicate about the motion right before the snap. Those are guys on the defense on the same page, great coaching, great execution and great awareness to understand each's responsibility on the play. This was also 2nd down play on the drive that the Bears went for it on 4th down and incompleted a pass to turn it over on downs. Big tackle by Daniels there. Oh yeah, and you'd think running backs would learn to not get in DJ's way when he's coming at the quarterback. Silly Forte.
Third play. I don't care what the reason for Gaither not getting a look at right tackle was before we cut him. So we have to deal with this instead? Damn you BRich, I defended you coming into the season.
Fourth play. I can't decide if Wieg's is just too slow or that Palko isn't aware that Lilja pulling right here isn't a good idea, or some combination of these two things along with some others. YOU be the judge.
Fifth play. I know we've seen Clay's post with this clips already. But how about a little love for the possum-eating man-child right here. This wasn't happening earlier in the season and if you remember any of my video posts of our 2nd and short in the nickel/dime defensive formations from before, Bailey wasn't holding his ground like this. While DJ made a helluva play, imagine this play if Bailey gets pushed back off the LOS. It ALWAYS starts with the beef.
Sixth play. You knew it was coming didn't you? You didn't really think you were going to see this whole post without a pro Tjax clip did you? Silly AP cpu person ignoring their duties at work right now. This is the play of the game in my opinion. TJax did his job and another one of the "just cut him now" players of AP makes the play on the other end. Jon Freakin McGraw taking a lesson from DJ on how to stuff someone at the goal line. This resulted in a field goal because of Marion Barber's inability to stand in the correct place. Oh well.
Seventh play. yes.
Eighth play. Who screwed up more on this play? LeRon McClain or Barry Richardson. From McClain's reaction I don't know, but I'm going with BRich because he looked like he forgot there was someone on his right helping him out. Something he should get used to...
Ninth play. As much as I think you're terrible Palko, great job of staying in the pocket and delivering the ball between two defenders on a crucial play. Sometimes you just have to fit it in there when nobody is open bec....wait....who the hell is guarding Urban at the top of the screen? Damnit Palko.
(In all fairness, he did complete three third down passes on the TD drive)
Tenth play. TOUCHDOWN BABY!!!!!
That's all I got folks. Whatcha think bout these things?

He was killed and eaten
by Clay Wendler, who absorbed his awesome GIF powers :-)
Seriously, though, I think Clay started to use his real name so he can promote his skills and products more effectively. I think it’s awesome that guys like him and Christoffer can take their passion for the Chiefs and media, do some amazing things, and get some recognition (and maybe a career).
He was killed by Clay
From a certain point of view.

On play 7
it’s clear that Gilberry gets respect, because two linemen tie him up while they give up on Houston. Or it could be interpreted as if he just forced them off Houston.
I loved your write-up
of play 9. “Damnit Palko!”
2010 = The beginning of a dynasty
Play 8
BRich just whiffs, turns around and looks like a guy who just let a piano slip down a flight of stairs
Third play.
So, nobody ever complains about B Rich’s run blocking? Really?
Ladies and Gentlemen, here are YOUR STANZI CITY CHIEFS!!
Well
At least BRich followed the pass rusher and got him the second time, after Palko faked him out.
Play 8 is much more damning for BRich in my opinion. He just completely whiffed on that one. Could be an OL trap play though and that was McLain’s guy, which would explain his reaction. Still, Barry looks a bit culpable in that play…
Barry looked completely lost in play 8
Once he let his guy go through he was like ummmm there’s nobody here. Then he proceeded to get this… hit nobody.
Go Chiefs!!!!
Love these!
Thanks BJ & Clay! Rec’d!
Man, I love watching Houston’s first sack. Picture perfect tackle and drive to the ground.
Play 2...
If you notice Tyson Jackson drove his offensive lineman back 5 yards… this added pressure created the dump off for Daniels to make the play.
Go Chiefs!!!!
Thanks BJ & Clay! Rec'd
I love replaying the clips and reading your descriptions of the plays…helps me learn more.
Love it that Houston is coming up to speed…D is looking better all the time.
Now if we can get some real O-linemen….
I'm dressin my voodoo doll in stripes every season...
Like last year, they look pretty awesome against 2nd-tier OLs.
That’s why I want OL before going rich @ QB. Chicago needs TWO Jay Cutlers to last the season, and Hanie’s no Cutler.

Ok,
play 8 gives me a reason to say something I’ve wanted to say for a while. LeRon McClain is NOT that good. I don’t really get why people are drooling over McClain. I rarely see him make a good block, and it’s not too rare to see him whiff like he did on play 8. If someone can tell me why everyone’s in love with the guy it would be greatly appreciated, because I’ve not seen much more from him than I saw from Cox/Castille.
If you aint first your last.
I have to place more of the blame on BRich than LeRon there.
It looks like LeRon is expecting Barry to take the inside position, so he sets up outside to further shuttle the rusher away from Palko. Instead, BRich also goes outside, and because of McClain’s positioning, he has no shot to make the block.
That’s not to say that McClain is good or bad, just that on this particular play, I think the fail rests on the shoulders of BRich.
I'm not sure if the run was supposed to go inside or outside.
B-Rich was totally beaten by the inside move, which seems pretty chronic. McClain, I believe, was planning to go outside of B-Rich and was out of position to help against the inside penetration. Looked like he knew that guy wasn’t supposed to be there, and it was up to him to take him, but he whiffed.
Against this traditional 4-man front, I kind of expected some problems with power at the DE spot, but our tackles were getting out-quicked, which is very concerning.
