onejayhawk Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 LG has been a sore spot for years. We had some adequate players, but the last really good one was Waters. That seems to now be a strength. Also, the level of nasty went up a notch for the whole OL. Given that we have a new emphasis on the running game, that's important. Stat line of the game: 2nd Quart 2:26 P.Mahomes pass short right to S.Watkins for 2 yards TOUCHDOWN. 16 PLAYS, 91 YDS, 9:04 POS 16 plays and 9 minutes. Are you kidding? Plus the score.

onejayhawk Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 The Chiefs brought in three OL for workouts. They must have seen something they don't like. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/09/12/kansas-city-chiefs-tryout-players-patrick-omameh-paul-adams-john-leglue/ J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Chargers and Raiders both won, but I don't think either did so in a convincing way, against lesser teams. Chargers offense looks anemic without Rivers, Raiders defense still looks lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our reward for all of those other years I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a win, but Jacobs is a beast and that Play Action is pretty deadly when it’s rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Ward had surgery to reset the bone in his hand. He can play in a club, but that's not a given. Keyes was the only player on the 53 not active for game #1, so i doubt they lean much on him. However, Sneed played very well and Fenton is available for the other side. With Matieu to cover the slot and Thornhill mostly up to speed, the coverage will not be horrible. The pressure up front certainly helps. Speaking of up front, Saunders dislocated an elbow. it's not official, but color that one doubtful. Pennel is still out, so it's Jones and Nnadi, plus...? Wharton played several down in week #1, Hoyett has a year under his belt and there are the DE who can move inside. With Alex Okafor also dinged, this is a window for Taco to get some PT, both at DE and at DT. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J I imagine Keyes will be given some special teams snaps so that Hamilton and Fenton can focus more on defense. Is it just me or did the Texans offensive spark coincide with the Ward injury? Seemed every big pass play was given up by Hamilton or Fenton. spags is gonna have to get creative with his defensive rotations. Chargers are tougher on defense than on offense but they’ve still got talent on the offensive side. Will be interesting to see what he can come up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 The Texans' OL was better than the Chargers will be and add an inexperienced QB. A lot will be said by the rushing yardage. On defense, SD is indeed much better. I would say top 3-4 in the AFC. However, for some reason, their ST suck. FWIW FBO puts us in the middle of the NFL, #18, with Houston bottom 10. LAC are #10, with a top 5 defense. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Tyrod is actually pretty experienced didn’t he start for a season or two up in Buffalo? pretty sure their whole plan is to focus on running the ball with some passes/runs from Tyrod thrown in. That DL is ferocious that’s gonna be a big test for the boys up front. Ours would be ranked better if we could hold up for a whole game and not just 3 quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Good point. I was actually referring to Hebert, the QB they just drafted, but Tyrod Taylor started for three years in Buffalo. TT is a poor man's Alex Smith. He doesn't throw interceptions, he has decent movement skills even at 31, but he takes way too many sacks. It says something that he was only in Buffalo three years and went on to be a back up Baker Mayfield in Cleveland. It has been a solid career for a 6th round pick, but solid is all it has been to date. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
