Agreed, Mr. talastan. The O-line is really troubling and Medlock makes Carl look like Carl. However, I think once we watch the tape, we'll see that the Miami defense confused Brodie on the INT. I believe they disguised a zone on him. Classic N00b (sp?) quarterback error.

Who'ed of thunk it! The Texans being treacherous!

It was good to see Green play well too. He made Huard look like the career back up that he is, and took one more step towards giving us a high 4th rounder.

If that line can just keep him healthy.

If there was any question remaining I would say Ross earned his way off the roster tonight with yet another fumble.

That was very disappointing to see. He's toast.

To me it looked like Croyle thought he had the TD and instead it turned into an INT. He started raising his hands like "it's a TD" then dropped them to his head when he saw the INT. The lesson to be learned was that toss-it-up-and-pray crap won't ever work in the NFL.

The safety play from Pollage was probably the most dissappionting for me. They were terrible in run support all night long. Both out of position and weak tackling. So far that duo is all hype.

Yeah, I don't remember seeing anything positive from them. Page whiffed on a tackle where Brown turned it into a big run. I'm hoping these guys haven't been completely over-hyped. I expect some growing pains from them, but they should also be making good plays from time to time.

I was impressed how much better Svitek played tonight. If he continues to improve at this pace we will not miss McIntosh.

Yea im really worried about the texans...

I base the D on how many first downs they give up. Tonight.... too ****in many.

I've haven't seen a more passive rushing game for a while. The Chiefs need LJ before the real season starts. Their offensive game plans with him and without him are radically different. They have to know one way or the other.

Croyle looked great on the TD drive.

He looked scared on the interception. He leaned back to get away from the hit he expected, but the hit was still a good way off. He should have leaned into the pass rush, fired the ball and taken the punishment. I'll give him a big pass on that one because it's preseason, though. Why take the chance on getting your bell rung in a televised practice session?

The receivers aren't doing anything interesting. I saw a couple of mismatches and bad coverages, but that's about it. Who's this Bowe guy, BTW?

There was some really good stuff happening up front on defense, but there were also serious lapses when guys should have wrapped up and stopped the play, but didn't.

Croyle has the best arm I've seen from a KC quarterback in years.

I think he showed some pretty good poise in the pocket there. Yeah, he has some pretty good attributes for a QB.

It's clear he has waaay more upside then Huard.

I think the mistake he made tonight was mechanical(throwing off the back foot)...Oh well, that is correctable, and I just think he is learning. I expect him to make mistakes. Just part of the developmental process.

Something we're probably going to have to get used to.

I can already see that the blocking is going to suck this year. That is going to be our main weakness this year imo. Our WR's need to learn how to catch better as well. Want to see Bowe play. I hope we draft an OT next year.

*I hope that these weaknesses on offense don't stunt Croyle's growth.

I was upset because our strength (LB's) whiffed. I noticed our new MLB whiff in the same game as DJ and DE. I know everyone has bad days- believe me- but the whole unit that we thought was our anchor?

Croyle wasn't happy with the int either. Basically said on the post-game that he saw the coverage and instead of being an intelligent young QB and going to his third progression (his words), he thought he'd give Wilson a chance at a jump ball. I don't think he was feeling any heat at all, he just made a poor decision, and he knows it.
