Oh forgot to mention pressure up the middle helps. Hopefully we got a plan to give Poe a rest now and then so he has some in his tank for a wull season. Wasn't Walker brought in for this?

Walker is really better suited to play Tyson Jackson's old spot. He certainly didn't look great last night...

I wish I had marked down when it was, but Dee Ford had a great inside rip move. It made me instantly hear Mike Mayock say "convert speed to power." I'm rewatching the game tonight, so I'll look out for the time stamp on the play.
But it totally was a great outside rush, then rip back inside on the tackle and put him on his heels. Hopefully there's more of that coming. Oh, and Dee Ford looked bigger than I realized. He might be only a year or two from Justin Houston size. |

btw our Dline still didn't do shit
Getting rid of Tyson Jackson was supposed to fix all the problems with the defensive line. We still didn't generate any pressure of get much penetration without sending extra guys.

Devito and Catapano were out. Poe didn't seem to play for very long. I wouldn't worry about that just yet. |

For some reason, I'm not particularly high on Cyrus Gray. Yeah, he's semi-fast and semi-shifty, but something is just missing for me. Seems like he has zero power. When he gets hit, it seems that he rarely moves the pile. Don't know much about Charcandrick West, but I think I'd rather give him a shot.

It was a fun game to watch, looking forward to the season. The kick return really sparked this team. The winning attitude, we can do this, Reid instills is huge IMO. Big difference from seeing candy wrapper on the stairs, micro manage, flop stick, run a team.

Is Squidwad a former user? I originally thought he was one of the young ladies that came over from the 49ers board during the Smith trade. His start date is OCT 2013, though. So he's either a former member or came aboard the bandwagon when the Chiefs were on the winning streak last year.

Grades for the 1st string OL:
LT Eric Fisher: D. I thought Fisher looked good as I watched the game. Watching him specifically on each of his 11 snaps revealed the truth, however. Other than two or three snaps where Fisher legitimately dominated, he looked pretty terrible. I completely disagree with Trent Green on the strip-sack -- perhaps Smith held the ball too long, but Fisher was getting owned from the get go on that play. And that was a theme on too many pass plays -- I counted 3 -- where Fisher simply greeted the passrusher too high and got his shit pushed in. He blocked fairly well in the run game, but allowed Wallace Gilberry to ride him all the way to sideline to shut down a run by DAT. A truly lackluster performance in limited time. LG Jeff Allen: D. I've never been a big fan of Jeff Allen ever since his rookie season, and that was only reinforced by this terrible performance. His runblocking was confused and average, his passblocking was confused and weak. Allen still struggles to anchor against bullrushes, something demonstrated on the strip-sack when Domata Peko, a 320 lbs DT that nobody on the Chiefs' OL had answers for, threw Allen into Smith's lap. Allen was consistently unable to make a play downfield on screens, and was consistently unable to move his guy up the gut. C Rodney Hudson: C. Hudson's pass protection was pretty solid, but he faced zero passrushers and blitzes. His real test would be in the run game, where he would not only fail to make any noise, he would actually get blown up a couple times, such on the first 3rd down conversion of the game, where his DT rode him all the way into Jamaal, shutting down the play and forcing the Chiefs to punt. RG Zach Fulton: B. I actually felt like Fulton looked like the 2nd best lineman out there. He was effective in passblocking, giving up zero pressures. What's most impressive is his get-up-and-go at the 2nd level. Zach Fulton is a fatass of a guard, but he can surprisingly get down field in a hurry. He didn't do much damage at the 2nd level this game, but it's clear he can get there, which is something that genuinely surprises me. He's also an effective run blocker -- he wasn't lining up against Geno Atkins, but he was able to reliably push his man all game and get some room for the RBs. He gets a bit confused with his blocking assignments, but that'll right itself soon. RT Donald Stephenson: B+. Best lineman of the game for the Chiefs. It's a shame Fisher can't get his shit together right now, because he would give the Chiefs perhaps the most athletic tackle duo in the country. Whereas Fisher's extra weight seems to have slowed him down to slightly-above-average speed, Stephenson can flat-out book it. His work in the passing game was extremely good, with hardly anybody really challenging him (the only one who did was Robert Geathers, who came close to riding Stephenson into Smith, but Stephenson slowed them down). His work at the 2nd level was great, and he looked efficient getting push. That said, all Chiefs starters really suck at chip blocking right now. I don't know what they've been teaching them, but 100% of their chip blocks were weak and ineffective. At one point, Fulton chip blocked so horribly he actually blocked Stephenson, freeing up both of their guys to pursue the ball. |

Poverty line.
Jeff Allen is a lost cause and having him next to Eric Fissure is going to be a disaster. |

This. Why couldn't we just have resigned Albert and put Stephenson at RT. What the hell is going to happen when Fisher lines up with a guy like Demarcus Ware? |
