PFF Grades the Chiefs
 

A few highlights:

1. The entire offensive line graded out positively in pass protection. Asamoah got dinged for a sack. Albert and Lilja had the highest grades in pass protection.

2. Our run blocking was not as good. Lilja, Wiegmann and Richardson had highly negative grades in run blocking.

3. Thomas Jones and Le'Ron McClain only played 3 snaps.

4. Kelly Gregg and Glenn Dorsey sucked. Negative grades, especially Gregg in run defense.

5. Kendrick Lewis was the worst player on the field. Primarily because of his awful run defense.

6. Justin Houston - 37 snaps. Allen Bailey - 27 snaps. Cameron Sheffield - 35 snaps. They're not ****ing around with the young guys.

7. Interestingly enough, Houston only rushed 3 times. There's something wrong with the scheme when Houston is rushing 3 times and Tyson Jackson is rushing 11.

8. Cassel dropped back 5 times "under pressure." 0 completions, 3 attempts. 2 sacks. LMAO

9. Jon McGraw, Sabby Piscitelli, Kendrick Lewis: Targeted eight times, allowed eight catches for 117 yards. :facepalm:

Eric Berry season ending injuries. 1.

/end of hope

Why was McClain so underused? Makes no sense. And putting Houston in coverage so often is shades of Greg Robinson.

That's disappointing about Kelly Gregg. I thought he would be better.

That's weird. I thought Cassel graded out perfectly.

He went all the way to 11 [literally, in TQBR]

I totally agree with the number seven deal. We were very passive on defense, I thought.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think we have the personnel to bring some aggressive defense. Sure, we may get burned occasionally, but we might also make positive yardage on first down by our opponents a thing of the past.

Why run a 3/4 if you're not going to bring your linebackers early and often ... especially on predictable downs and distances?

"Jon McGraw, Sabby Piscitelli, Kendrick Lewis: Targeted eight times, allowed eight catches for 117 yards"

Does that include the play where the three of them decided not to cover the TE in the end zone?

How the hell could anyone come to that conclusion? But if anyone could it would be you...

dude sucked ass on Sunday...

wow. Yeah you missed that one by a mile.

More disappointing is why our 2 high round defensive line talents are basically invisible.....

No didnt miss it... its Sportsracer....

Or why the OL and DL are non existant...

Maybe that's it. Maybe our D-line doesn't provide Crennel with sufficient confidence to let the 'backers off the chain.

Haha, you're reeruned.

Slow your roll.

Dorsey was good last year. It's just one game.

How did Hali grade out and how often did he rush the passer? He was in coverage way too often for me.

ok, sure.....but overall, has he been worth a top 5 pick??

He's right but yes it was just for one game. Lets hope there is some movement of the line in game 2. If not we are in big trouble.

WTF, so you guys think Cassell had a good game? Sure the playcalling was bad but Cassell looked awful, did we really watch the same game???

It's a joke. Mark Castle said he graded out perfectly in last year's Bills game when he went 14-26, 152 yds., TD.

sarcasm meters are broken today, it seems.

I blame Castle.

Hali was Hali. He rushed more than anyone on the team.

trolololololololol

:facepalm:

its a joke... Sportsracer is a CP troll.. Just calling him out...

Stop hitting yourself.

You're like the worst at jokes, bro.

You post this

Then try and call me out?

:clap:

well done sir...

Link?

STOP HITTING YOURSELF IS A GREAT JOKE SO SHUT THE **** UP

Albert was fine, Cassel was not...as I've been trying to explain to saccofbats for too long..

I was really disappointed in our DL. Don't know if it was scheme or what, but they did not look strong. Can't believe we're in year 3 of a 3-4 and still have such huge ??? at the DL.

Lewis looks like a 5th round pick.

Berry was already the second most important player on our defense behind Hali, no way to replace that. We're going to have to turn up the volume with our front 7.

And Cassel is a worthless piece of crap. But everyone besides pawnsmoker, reerun, and that dumb pat's fan already knew that.

Imagine how bad things would be if Pioli didn't get lucky that Gregg was released?

yeah...and I thought Gregg was a good pickup, but he underwhelmed

hope to see Powe get some snaps soon

Gregg learned that Jackson isn't Ngata. Gregg underwhelmed, but I can't imagine how much worse things would have been without him.

Not re-signing our ball grabber was a huge mistake.

Many seem confused as to why Houston only rushed 3 times, however Romeo usually likes his LOLB in base 3-4 to operate in coverage. This needs to change imo.

Actually, he said it after the 2009 game when he threw 4 INT's.

But, but, but....Cassel just needs more time!!!!

Strange, i thought the ****ing line sucked balls right along with Cassel...


I would love the Cheifs to just dump the whole line and QB and start over.

they all blow ass...

The O-line didn't really stand out to me as being bad. Maybe they were just overshadowed by the Craptastic play of Crap Cassel and Sadly PlayingforBerry.

This being brought up is so stupid. He wasn't drafted as 3-4 DE, no 3-4 DE is worth a top 5 pick which makes Tyson Jackson pick even more stupid.

Thanks. Gif Horse

Cassel is not going to be elite, he is not the worst QB in the history of football either. He's just not good and apparently is not going to ever get better.

Richardson got abused once and there was the time that pressure came up the middle (but Cassel mostly just tripped over his own feed on that one).

But for the most part, the line did a solid job in pass-pro. It was the one thing I was pleasantly surprised by.

Eh, if that was called anything other than bad, I would hate to see bad line play...

Cassel didnt help much with his shit fest, nor did they help him much either...


Brady has an OL.. Now you get to see a guy stand there for 5 seconds 90% of the time untouched... That is quality OL play...

Chiefs? ROFL I have seen trainwrecks block better than this OL...

Despite what some fans think here, Hali is average at best in coverage and rush defense. He's all about passrushing and that's nothing bad at all. Ideally, our other OLB should be an all-around linebacker.

I agree Houston should have rushed more often because it is his strength right now but Hali should always be the first rusher and on most plays you do not rush your two OLB.

I wonder how much PFF had to pay their analysts to watch the whole Chiefs game? I don't think a single Chiefs fan watched the entire thing.

Cassel is one of the 10 worst starting QBs in the league - that's bad enough for me.

Maybe it is just be being over critical about our lack of OL and for that matter DL play...

Unfortantly, my son and I did...

I'm still in denial at how so many phases looked so bad, the line pass blocked ok? well lahdy dah! too bad the impostor at qb couldnt do anything with that decent protection.

Hate to say it, but this season isnt going anywhere, cant even believe i'm saying it.

i think on the charles fumble he hurt his leg

Does that include the play where the three of them decided not to cover the TE in the end zone?[/QUOTE]

That was a stupid call to blitz 3 linebackers on 3rd and Goal from the ten!!

This was the most disappointing off-season result. Makes you wonder how hard Pioli tried to bring him back. Dude seemed to bring his game every time. . .as he always did going back to his high school days here.

Those grade out at 100% though...correct?

A+?

PFF's official recap

http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog...chiefs-week-1/

Gregg was awful. I hope the activate Powe.

Anything positive reported about this team is either in error or a fabrication. It needs to stop now.

Good to hear about Albert.

Hahaha. We are the best pass blocking team in the league! For one week, anyway.

http://i51.tinypic.com/2mwcg6.jpg

So a historically reliable, objective measurement of a line's performance said our line was elite last week, relatively speaking at least.

And Matt Cassel was still absolute dog shit.

Can we please PLEASE pull the plug now? The dude is awful.

At the very least, we should be able to put the "we can't judge him until we get a better o-line" bullshit to rest.

This supports what I said in another thread regarding the pass blocking of the Chiefs vs. the pass blocking of the Packers.

Albert is a good LT


saccofbats is a dumb ass


Cassel is a worthless piece of shit and I wish he would just quit...

Aye Aye ...The sooner the better!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! How'd that self dick sucking go?

Please allow this the talk is getting so old!!!!!!!!!

What was Cassel's PFF grade for week 1?

It went well ty!!! Get over it if u can!!!!!!!

He is currently the 23rd rated QB.

Was he plus or minus?

Holy Christ, who are the 9 below him?

McNabb and who else?

That's the thing about Cassel, though.

He puts up numbers that don't always look as bad as he actually plays.

This is why I always say that stats mean jack.

What I really mean is that without the context of seeing things as they are played out, stats don't provide any true insight.

Hasselbeck
Bradford
McNabb
Dalton
Orton
Roethlisberger
Sanchez
Gradkowski
Romo
Collins

Barely positive. See, I'm guessing dumping the ball off for 3 yards isn't a negative play.

Some of those other quarterbacks were turning it over more, so that's going to bring their grade down.

Sunday was a historical performance.

No QB in NFL history has completed 22 passes or more and failed to gain 120 yards.

His numbers were awful, his play was awful, he's awful.

No context necessary.

No shit? Wow.

Nonsense, I had him graded perfectly with my Casseldometer. Swing passes rack up teh bonus points.
