Just now getting to sit down and watch. Really pleased with how Davis is protecting the ball.

I was very impressed with Kush and LDT. Both showed great strength and held their own, though LDT needs to work more on his technique this year.
I think they are our starting LG and C next year.

Some thoughts on the DL.
1st, and I'm not trying to build up anybody's expectations here, but Allen Bailey played decent against the run and had two pressures in the 1st quarter. Of course, that's a very high level of pressure coming from an end spot. If he can somehow play like that this year, we better be looking to re-sign him, because the Chiefs have been unable to get pressure from the DE position ever since we switched to a 3-4. Poe played sturdy. He had a gorgeous move on Jason Campbell's touchdown pass, where he blew by the lineman playing him and was inches away from plowing down Campbell. Jaye Howard is a bunch of meh. He didn't play very well against the 1st team, but his quality of play picked up against the 2nd team -- but even then the Chiefs put him in a weird situation because they went primarily nickel- and dime-package on the 2nd team. He doesn't have the explosion of either Bailey or Catapano, and he gets washed out pretty frequently (and badly) against the run. Vance Walker is a waste of a signing. He didn't show any explosiveness, and was on rollerskates against the run. Dominique Hamilton looked pretty alright as a backup nose. He wasn't getting much push (although he did get great push on his first snap), but he isn't getting pushed back on his heels like Howard is. JMJ looks fantastic. And Josh Mauga isn't a world-beater, but he plays pretty smart, even when his tackling isn't all there... Nico Johnson will almost certainly get cut this year. Ford played well, I think. Milkman criticized him for not playing with full effort, but he played to the whistle on every snap but one that I watched. Ford forced incompletions by being in Campbell's passing window, he forced a holding, he played the run poorly but he was enthusiastic -- he just needs to learn how to shed blockers better. And as should surprise no one, he plays with great speed. Less enthused about Josh Martin. Martin gets little pressure, and struggles to play the run. I'm not sure why he gets the nod right now over Zombo. |

Hali seems to think Martin is their secret pass rush ingredient.

I saw those without watching with a critical eye. If I actually watched to break things down, I have very little doubt I'd find more.

I actually came away impressed by both JMJ and Josh Martin. Martin had a killer play where he darted to snuff out the screen, recovered, backpeddled, and then drove on the QB for the tackle two yards down. It was impressive quickness and recognition.

Maybe it's not so much a lack of hustle type thing and more of a new position type deal? Defensive ends don't hustle down the field on every play. Maybe he's not thinking 100% like a LB yet?
That said, I can't stand loafing. He better fix it quick. |
