I don't know if I've ever seen someone regress every single year after their rookie season. He had such promise after his rookie year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 If Callaway doesn't play next week and look good, Fountain is the clear front runner for the #7 WR imo. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Powell out there. I wonder if he's having trouble with the playbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hot take: McKinnon is the #3 RB and should push for #2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) DE is going to be tough. Ward making plays, Kaindoh has the draft pick thing going for him. Don’t see either sliding to PS. Jones / Clark / Danna / Charlton / Kaindoh / Ward Okafor may have a short lived reunion. Dorian O’Daniel has yet to be seen, for a guy that needs to prove something Edit: Now D’OD gets some action, still don’t think he makes it.

kingseanjohn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Interesting that Thornhill is playing with the 3rd/4th string. Why not have Key or another rookie out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGold Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I like 3rd string picks. They’re just happy to make a play. No running down to the end zone for a team photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 53 Guess with this one almost over: (2)QB - P. Mahomes // C. Henne (3)RB - CEH // D. Williams // J. McKinnon (6)WR - T. Hill // M. Hardman // D. Robinson // B. Pringle // M. Kemp // C. Powell (4)TE - T. Kelce // B. Bell // N. Gray // J. Fortson (4)OT - O. Brown // L. Niang // P. Tega-Wanogho // M. Remmers (4)OG - J. Thuney // T. Smith // K. Long // LDT (2)C - C. Humphrey // A. Blythe * FB M. Burton & OL N. Allegretti replace Long and LDT if they start on PUP * WR D. Fountain replaces Allegretti/Blythe once they get a few weeks to sort a healthy group of OL. -- Darwin Thompson, Andrew Wylie, Antonio Callaway either didn't play, or did nothing to make the roster. (6)DE - F. Clark // C. Jones // M. Danna // T. Charlton // T. Ward // J. Kaindoh (4)DT - J. Reed // D. Nnadi // T. Wharton // K. Saunders (5)LB - A. Hitchens // W. Gay // N. Bolton // B. Niemann // D. Harris (6)CB - C. Ward // L. Sneed // M. Hughes // R. Fenton // D. Baker // B. Keyes (4)S - T. Mathieu // J. Thornhill // D. Sorensen // D. Key ** Omari Cobb might have made a case for the 5th LB spot. D'OD has his ST value. ** B. Keyes, C. Lammons, Will Parks, Armani Watts is a sneaky good battle for the 10th DB spot.

Tega Wanago has looked pretty impressive, Solid in pass pro, he’s thrown some nasty blocks in the run game. Wylie, Yeah he just ain’t it at RT. He can’t hang against bottom guys right now. Our DB’s are nice. Prince making the roster would be sweet, and yes, it would likely bump Wylie to PS. We had a good and underrated secondary last year. This year will be better. 1 hour ago, kingseanjohn said: If Callaway doesn't play next week and look good, Fountain is the clear front runner for the #7 WR imo. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen Powell out there. I wonder if he's having trouble with the playbook. Fountain has been making a play. Unlike several others, he was drafted out of college. He gives them some Sammy-like speed that's not Mecole Hardman. 50 minutes ago, kingseanjohn said: Hot take: McKinnon is the #3 RB and should push for #2. Definitely #3, probably of 3, and the best in pass pro. Like several others, keeping healthy has been an issue. 44 minutes ago, kingseanjohn said: Okafor and Charlton historically can't stay healthy. I imagine one of them will be on IR sooner or later. Yep. Those are two more. Okafor has underwhelmed since signing. Ward could conceivably take that job. 2 hours ago, kingseanjohn said: Mike Hughes really trying to make the team. Hughes is trying to make the starting lineup, not just the roster. Another guy with health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Some hot takes. Both lines played as well as could be expected and Devon Key made a rookie mistake on the long TD. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-san-francisco-49ers-preseason-week-1-halftime-takeaways/ Pringle scores.

The OL is a work in progress, but it works. The running game will benefit. The DL will be much better. Daurice Fountain has a real chance at making the team. Kelce finally has a backup. FB is still in the playbook, but the question is who? There is work to do. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/8/15/22625849/andy-reid-chiefs-discuss-preseason-win-over-49ershttps://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/8/15/22625197/5-things-we-learned-as-the-chiefs-beat-the-49ershttps://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-preseason-week-1-the-morning-after-daurice-fountain-mecole-hardman-cornell-powell/https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-san-francisco-49ers-preseason-6-takeaways-from-week-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Winners and losers from Game #1https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/8/15/22625809/9-winners-and-5-losers-from-preseason-game-one Winners Jerick McKinnon - Locked down the #3 spot Daurice Fountain - Significant snaps and led the team in catches Tim Ward - Hello. Two sacks and five tackles Mike Hughes and DeAndre Baker - CB is looking sweet this season Tommy Townsend - Townsend looks like he's hunting a Pro-Bowl ticket Turk Wharton and Khalen Saunders - A coming out for Saunders, these two held the middle in the second half Jody Fortson - Most snaps on offense and had a nifty one hander to show off Losers Noah Gray - Fortson had a big night and Burton played FB Devon Key - Some rough spots but some better ones too Mecole Hardman - A key non-catch. It would have been tough but Fountain was making these catches Marcus Kemp and Cornell Powell - Didn't play much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I agree with the winners. I might add Prince Tega Wanogho. He was clearly the best player along the 2nd string. Wylie should be a loser. Gray is a little rough. He didn’t play bad, 2 poorly thrown balls. He maybe should have caught them, but both tough plays. He had some nice blocks. Not a winner, but loser is a bit much. I thought Kaindoh looked the worst of the rookies. Looked like he was thinking instead of playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 My faves of the night was McKinnon and Ward. McKinnon looks super spry and healthy, more in the mold of Damian Williams. Ward looks like an explosive version of KPass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
