Chiefs Who needs to step up in 2015? - Page 6

**BossChief** · 03-28-2015, 12:10 PM

We have a big opportunity to do something big next year and I truly believe that. At least 1 playoff game should be won if some things fall into place and we need a few guys to step up their game for us to have success next year.

Here's the idea...pick a player and tell us why and how he is gonna step up next year and what kind of an impact that can make on the team.

I'll take the low hanging fruit to kick it off.

1) Alex Smith. No question, this is the time to put up or shut up. He was comfortable throwing to Avant and Wilson towards the end of last year (and that's pretty much it) and they both return and we added a guy that will be open all over the field in Jeremy Maclin. We are sure to add another receiver in the draft, too. With our running game and upgrades to the OL, there are NO EXCUSES for him to not have a big year that gets us into the playoffs. It's his third year in the system and that's when the jump usually happens for quarterbacks. He should be comfortable getting more and more aggressive with the ball as the year goes on and everybody gets on the same page.

It all starts and ends with him and I think the team has the horsepower to win a playoff game or more if he steps it up this year.

2) ????

Donald Stephenson needs to step up. Too much inconsistent play from him last year.

No. WE don't know anything about him. Which is different than the Chiefs staff that has seen him in two training camps, mini camps, OTA's and in the locker room.

That's the concern.

He has the physical tools.
Does he have the want to?

I think it's great for him that he's doing that, but it's tough to count on him being all in.

I'm starting to get high off of the fumes from everything I'm hearing about Erving, both here and elsewhere.

"nimble feet to get out in space and land blocks"

"a natural at kick sliding and mirroring a speed rush"

"anchors effectively against power in pass protection"

The only real drawback I can find is raw technique... which shouldn't be a big deal after a full camp at right tackle.

I'm gonna go sanders commings. He could really help shore up the back side if healthy and playing decent ball.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 03-28-2015, 04:44 PM

Sean Smith, and it's not even goddamned close.

**RealSNR** · 03-28-2015, 04:45 PM

For the sake of not being a giant black mark on the face of this franchise:

Dee Ford.

He needs to improve tremendously this season. If he barely scratches the surface of getting on the field like he did last year, we should just cut him, honestly. Josh Martin can do that shit and probably won't run away from the ballcarrier.

I'm worried that this may be the year that Hali REALLY starts to decline. Like, even more than last season. Ford has got to be ready to step in and stop the bleeding if that's the case.

Sanders Commings, though I'm afraid of what might happen to his ankles if he does.
