Chiefs First Quarter MVPs

Exoter175 · 10-01-2014, 12:16 AM

I'll take 3 from offense, 3 from defense, and 2 from special teams.

My MVP's are as follows.

Alex Smith, Knile Davis, Travis Kelce, I don't think I even need to explain my reasoning for those right now.

Justin Houston, Dontari Poe, Tamba Hali, I also don't think I need to explain my reasoning for those guys right now, simply because they ****ing put the defense on their shoulders these last three games and dominated, even in the denver loss.

My two special teamers, Dustin Colquitt because he's so ****ing on fire right now that people near him have reportedly been going to the ER for 2nd degree burns. Guy is dynamite in the prime of his career and he's making all other punters look just ****ing silly. This guy has 4 different ****ing punting styles that he uses depending on down, distance, field position, current outcome of the game, and so forth all factored in. WHO DOES THAT? Dustin does. And he's a huge, huge, HUGE part of our success right now.

But, no punter can take all the credit for the special teams work without giving "something" for recognition to his gunners/cover men. Phillip Gaines, after this last game, beat out Junior Hemmingway for special teams MVP-Non Punter, while both have had a few bad fouls this year that hurt the field position game, if ever briefly, the two of these guys have been lightning and thunder on Kickoff and Punt coverage, but the way Phillip Gaines played on special teams punt coverage this last week, locked it in for me. The kid has some serious situational awareness going on, and he might be one of those guys who comes out of nowhere to make a solid roster spot based on his effort and awareness, like Cooper did last year.

Well, those are my 8 MVP of the first half of this season, and for good reason, its just too hard to choose one, but if I did it would end up a 3 way tie between Houston, Colquitt, and Smith for sure, but I feel right now the way that this team is playing, that there's more recognition to be had than just one individual, and this last game is almost a little scary when you see what we've done in just 3 games. People are going to start talking about how we are a "sneaky" team that will come out of nowhere to surprise you because (and I'm banking on this catchphrase over the next few weeks) the "whole" is greater than the sum of its parts. This team is really clicking right now.
