Steven Nelson might play on Monday night.
 

Per Andy Reid a few minutes ago

I assume that means that he was the activated today and the reason that Spiller was cut.

THANK YOU!!!!

PFF rated Steven Nelson as the 5th best NFL slot corner in 2016. His return will have a major positive effect on the defense. Calling it.

SEASON SAVED

Doesn't matter what scrub you guys put out there this week, you will still get 2 or 3 turnovers and hold us to a couple missed FG's.

I will never believe anything PFF says. It is a scam to drive click bait.

It is going to be funny to see one of us on a 3 game win streak. I am prepared for it to be the Broncos, will be wearing one of many SB50 shirts while watching the game.

Hoping you guys get to lose the AFC Championship game this year, I know how important that is to the OP.

just be thankful Elway was able to get Manning. He's 20-18 without him and has failed miserably to find a QB or HC.

If it wasn't for Manning, Elway would have been fired by 2015.

3 game win streak?

You aren’t a very smart little guy, are you?

What the hell does this have to do with Steven Nelson?


I'll give you credit though, you finally learned how to embed a Tweet.

Martavis Bryant can pound sand

Penbrook choosing a thread to post a tweet in:

https://fivestarcrew.ca/uploads/blog...owingdarts.jpg

LMAO

I'd bring him in for a look

A cancer in Pittsburgh will be a cancer in Kansas City

No. Thanks.

**** Bryant.

Robinson is a stud.

And Nelson coming back would be huge.

This

Conley is a great dude it seems like, but Robinson is a better WR already

Andy Reid is the best oncologist in the NFL

A bit premature. He looks quicker out there though. Lets hope the hands are good.

Can't wait to put Robinson in the slot next year with Conley outside.

Robinson seems to be more open than Conley and Robinson is a lot quicker.

Is it? He's already getting open and making plays more consistently than Conley was through 2 games.

Maybe he slows down, but to me, as I stated before the Steelers game, Robinson just seems more explosive to me.

Any news on Tamba?

You're the Twitter master!! Find that info penbrook, FIND IT!!!

I thought he can practice but not play yet until after week 8.

Nick Jacobs said he couldn’t come back till week 10 at the earliest. I’m glad to see he’s spreading Fake News

DeMarcus Robinson looks really good. Why anyone would want a receiver who bitches even in victory is beyond me.

Bryant is a I want the ball type of guy same with AB. I hate the Steelers. You don’t here Tyreek or Kelce saying give me the ball. You don’t here anyone saying that. Oh and Tyreek is #5 in rec yards after week 7. He truly is a #1 WR

Let the Steelers deal with that headache. The last thing you should be doing after missing an ENTIRE ****ing season due to substance abuse is crying for the ball.

I have read multiple places that Nelson could not possibly return due to NFL rules before the Dallas game. He has to serve the 8 week minimum before he can return to the teams roster although he can practice before then.
I think Reid got his info wrong. Don't get me wrong it would be nice to get Nelson back sooner.

BJ Kissel said he’s eligible to return Monday night

Yikes, didn't even know that before giving an unequivocal NO on the issue... it now becomes NO

We got lucky the dates happen to fall in place perfectly.
Date he was put on injured reserve: Sept. 3.
Date of the Broncos game: Oct. 29.

Exactly 8 weeks.

Come on man. Once is a mistake. Twice is a clear sign you’re just stupid.

can cj chiller tackle? or cover? keep him and cut gaines instead

Ok so Nelson comes back. Do you think it will make that much of a difference when the secondary isnt playing well as a whole? All 6 dbs looked bad on Thursday. Gaines had to cover the entire middle field side to side with no help. Peters has given up 9 tds so far. Mitchell is getting burned. Parker is grabbing receivers and Sorenson is missing tackles. Houston is dropped into coverage without anyone around for 20 yards!!!This tells me that Sutton is the problem. They are in man too much and are not disrupting the receiver off the line of scrimmage. I hope you are right about Nelson to save the season but i wouldnt bank on it with these schemes.

Dude what are you doing? First you derail the thread and make it about Bryant and then you make it about tamba. How is this the thread for a tamba question?

Because Nelson and Tamba were both out and Reid said earlier this week we were getting reinforcements back. Just wanted to know

That makes sense. Just put the question in the Tamba thread. This nelson conversation shouldn't be lost considering what our secondary looks like right now.

Peters with Nelson - All Pro
Peters without Nelson - shitshow

Do the math.

Lol we will see:shake:

In reality we really don't need him just yet against Denver IF he needs just a little bit more rest. Denver's o-line, Siemian and Sanders potentially not playing, lack of a running game, I don't see a real threat BUT......:hmmm:

It's that Pac12 bond that sustains them.

One is a tackler and the other one is a "kneeler".:shrug:

It's going to take some time for Nelson to get into game shape. Might as well start now if possible.

I agree with your statement here except for what is in bold. Your statement here say's just the opposite to me that we have very little talent and need real talent back there. Peters is way overrated IMHO. Gaines is another Marcus Cooper and his head is messed up. Mitchell may compete but he is just not that good. Sorenson is a back up at best. Parker is trying to do too much because he knows the talent is very limited. You think these guys are playing bad because of scheme but my "football eyes" say otherwise.

Where this narrative came from that we have an elite 2ndary comes from Peters quick start in the NFL and E Barry and thus their colleagues get coat tail glory as well BUT over time as Peters gets exposed and OC's are starting to figure this guy out he is very vulnerable and with Barry out thus the rest of our 2ndary gets exposed even more.

Bottom line: Sutton can't come out and say we are not that talented in the 2ndary or for that matter the D as a whole so he attempts to make chicken salad out of chicken dung not just with the 2ndary but with the DL and LBs as well. If he schemed as though we had Barry and saw the rest of the 2ndary and trench players as "very good to all pro" at most positions we would be getting even "more roasted" than we are. Am I saying Sutton is totally innocent in all this ? Absolutely not BUT the talent just isn't there and the talent we do have in the 2ndary is done for the season so it is "bend but don't break between the 20's and have an elite red zone D" just like last year.:rolleyes:

Very true and IF he is truly healthy get him some snaps then I agree.

I see it just the opposite. The schemes are what is causing the poor play not the talent. Why all of a sudden do they all suck? I can tell you, the secondary is not happy right now with what is going on. Would you be if as a unit you are playing like crap. I hope y'all are right about Nelson giving a big boost to the secondary. I dont believe anyone can help with these schemes except for berry of course.

We won't need him.

Jones and Houston are going to savagely assault that OL.

I tend to agree. Remember Peters blowing up on Sutton during the Texans game? Also, this defense was ranked in the bottom of the league in yards allowed last year. The only difference was that they were getting turnovers.

If the defense looks like shit against this offense.....then we know that we have huge problems.

They're gonna be 5-4 heading into the bye.

I think theyve fallen off a cliff

We'll be fine

My guess is 6-3. We'll beat the Broncos and lose to the Cowboys.

I dunno

The broncos defense is really good and ours sucks ass, the chiefs will find some way to make it interesting

So can Nelson play this week or not?

All this secretive crap is dumb

Nelson isn't good but he's not as bad as Gaines

You are a buffoon at times ROFL Doubling down on the dumb notion that Denver is dangerous I see

So you've got Chiefs by double figures? I smell a bet

Well Vegas has them as 7.5 point favorites which is a pretty decent spread.

NE is 7.5 over the Chargers.

Anybody able to decipher what the hell this tweet means??

If the Chiefs could generate any respectable pass rush, the secondary will look infinitely better. They're being asked to cover for way too long. Any QB in the league will make that look bad.

They're getting a td at home.

I think that's about right but would it surprise you if the chiefs need a late fg to win?

If we blitz we'll kill em.

If we play the way we have the last few weeks I don't see any reason why we'd win.

If our secondary is as shitty as everyone thinks, why would we blitz more and leave less guys to cover?

They need to get pressure with 4

Exactly

Lol no way

Pro football talk said he's back vrs Dallas not this Monday :( any chance they're wrong?

I meant losing streak. I am used to winning SB's

The Chiefs have 2 IR / Designated to Return Slots which they can use on any 2 Chiefs that were placed on IR after final roster cut-down; however they have to remain on the IR for 8 weeks before being eligible to return.

Nelson was placed on Injured Reserve (IR) after final roster cut-down and must be on IR for 8 weeks before he is eligible to return.

They chose to use 1 of those slots for Nelson who can begin practicing and is eligible to play after week 8 since he was placed on IR prior to the first game.

My hope would be that Nelson's return would give Sutton more flexibility adding a man to the pass rush more often because of improved coverage ability in the backfield. Don't know if that's how it would work though.

Sending 4 would seem like we were blitzing after only sent ding three in this stupid ass scheme that we've been playing all season.
