Chiefs Vs. Lions: One Detroit Offensive Player To Remember

FF predicament

I have Pettigrew and Jason Witten.

Witten is a stud who is proven and has a pretty savory matchup himself in an offense that showed it can pass pretty well even against one of the elite defenses last week. Pettigrew has an attractive matchup, but is by no means the stud or mark of consistency Witten has proven to be. Start Witten. I’m starting Jimmy Graham against the Bears eventhough I have Pettigrew on my bench simply because Graham is more of a known commodity.

Graham is a stud and I wanted that guy

Witten is always a safe pick.

Graham's value should be even higher for the next few weeks with Colston out

and the rest of the WR corps there banged up. That said, I still think Witten is a better overall prospect. He has two solid WRs outside the hash marks that demand attention, leaving him open in the middle.

by Sudden on Sep 17, 2011 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions

yeah

problem is that he’s a great blocker and that affects him in the red zone, they keep him in to block quite a bit. But he’s solid and always good for 60-70 yards each week. Not a hit or miss guy.

Graham is going to be an absolute stud. I have Colston too and that hurts my team. But having Brady helps.

Correct.

You don’t need a cover guy on Pettigrew. He’s so good at using his body to box out defenders, and Stafford is so good with the ball getting it in there, that I can’t remember a single time that Pettigrew has had a pass disrupted from him. What you do need is someone who will tackle him every time, because 70% of his yardage is YAC.

Well considering how many drops he left on the field

It’s probably skewed his numbers, but yes, I made the 70% figure up. Regardless, he lives on YAC. Stay close to him, be ready to tackle him, don’t let him fight for YAC, and just wait for him to drop crucial catches, basically.

I have no idea.

Historically, bad tackling and inconsistent coverage. But that seems to be changing.

Historically, I’d also say screens, but that seems to be improving too.

I’d say receiving RBs in the flats. Also, during pre-season our week 1 opponent found great success in the running game by basically triple teaming Suh and running straight at him. Of course, Suh got mad and bodyslammed Dalton for it, so I can’t really recommend it.

Yeah.

But we have enough weapons that if you apply tight coverage to Burleson/Megatron/Pettigrew, we’ll have to rely on lesser receivers who are going to be more open, which bodes better for yardage and the ability for your D to make a play.

Richardson played well against the Bills, most of the line did actually

Besides Asamoah getting blown up a few times they were alright. And considering Kyle Williams is pretty damn good, and so is Suh.

That’s two pro-bowl defensive lineman they’ll face in the first two weeks.

I can’t see them making Albert move mid-season. If he hasn’t practiced on the right side yet, which to my knowledge he hasn’t, I don’t think it happens this year.

Seik, I understand your "reasoning" but I disagree ...

I think you do a disservice to BRich on his run blocking which is very good … Albert is more than adequate at LT in terms of pass protection … Gaither, however, is coming off back surgery and hasn’t played in over a year (in real competition) and Albert learning everything new on the right side AND trying to learn more run-blocking skills as well … I think it weakens both positions to just move him over and put Gaither in his place

bottom line: there's a reason Gaither isn't starting and that Albert and BRich are ...

we can second-guess all we want, but basing a judgement off preseason snippets is not how it’s done … I don’t know about you, but I’ll go with the theory that Haley and his assts know more about the players and the situation than I do … or most of the rest of us, for that matter

OFFENSE

We arent good enough to be kicking off first

by Swilk15 on Sep 17, 2011 2:11 PM CDT reply actions

With our MIA Offense...

Either first or @ the start of the 2nd half will probably be the only time we get to kick off…..( Somebody had to say it…)…

We’re screwed Either way…Lose to Detroilet & we’re sunk …Win &… Meh ….We we’re suposed to win this game going into the season…Me ?…I’ll take The Meh w/ a side of Whoo Hoo !!!…

Don't know about that

Even if we had won we’d be underdogs. Home opener for em too, place is gonna be jacked up

Of Course...

Just showing up & focusing on a little more than getting “The Fundamentals” executed for a couple of consecutive quarters would be an improvement…You know…What the Off & Pre Season was for ?…

It worries me...

That we’ve gone from Eric" Captain Crunch" Berry to…

Jon “Slow Draw” Mc Graw…
Scabby Pissonthetelli…&

matt cassel is no trent green

Cassel can’t throw deep, and most of all, what bugs me is. he can’t hit the quick underneath routes to avoid the passrush. If chiefs aren’t atleast 3-4 heading into week 8 I hope hailey pulls the plug on him and starts stanzi to finish the year. If they fail to make some changes like all it tells me is they don’t care about winning. We will basically be like the LA dodgers of football

I think our only hope here is DJ

He’s a hell of a coverage linebacker. It may hurt the scheme to keep him solely on Pettigrew all day but we will get absolutely burned if they don’t figure out something.
