If you're going to use McCluster, move him around pre-snap. I'm not convinced anymore that's going to make a difference, but it's right now the only value he has potential to add. Right now, he's not valuable if not used in gimmickry.

So mccluster**** has 2 catches in 39 snaps and Hemmingway has 1 in 4.

I'm thirsty for Hemingway

1. Moar Hemmingway, Less McCluster. +1
2. Poe mancrush +1,000,000,000,000

Poe just played in his 18th game as a professional, and he is already one of the best nose tackles in the game. By season's end, I don't think there will be a question that he is the most dominant nose tackle in the NFL.

I wouldn't take a single other one over him today.

Poe is exceeding my expectations I can get over Powe.

This is going to go on all season. McCluster's going to keep doing diddly and we're all going to wonder why Hemingway isn't playing more.

Poe and Hemingway..what a combo!

Letting him rest for the SuperBowl.

So I went back and watched the game as I had some suspicions of what happened but didn't want to comment on it before I had seen the broadcast as it's hard to tell exactly from seeing it at Arrowhead.

There was alot of talk about the Boys safeties playing up and the Cowboys defense really crowding the LOS. I didn't think it was the case watching it live, we had guys downfield alot and the Cowboys safeties were always deep, and as I rewatched it, I was right.

Now thats not to say Smith would have or could have threatened them deep, but we absolutely have routes that are set up in that format, so either way, he's gonna have to pull the trigger.

However, (and I know it's a sin to say this on here) the OL outside of Albert and Hudson (in pass pro, for the most part, I know he had 2 misses in the A gap, but I'm not sure that was Hudson or what) the OL wasn't good in pass protection. At all. I'm hoping it's just taking them time to learn, but we can't attempt to press it down field unless they give time.

Lastly, for everyone who was saying Berry wasn't playing this, or that level, Sunday, the guy was the best player on the field. Took away Witten, was big in the run game, created turnovers (terrible call, btw) picked up a fumble and returned it. It was best safety in the game type stuff against a really really good offense. Very excited about it.

And Kendrick Lewis is playing at a level I didn't think he could. He was fast to the ball, breaking on the ball, etc.

Lewis had a few great plays yesterday.

And Abdullah was a great addition up to this point.

DJLN said the exact opposite about us having guys downfield

Depends on your definition of downfield I guess.

We didn't send anyone on any 9 routes, but we had guys in intermediate routes consistently.

Guess I should have worded that better.

Jenkins pretty much only ran deep crosses from what I can remember.

here is his quote

I'm wondering if it wasn't the plan because we didn't think we could block Dallas up front?
