Watched Hudson closely. Looked good for the most part. Asamoah is gonna be a dandy i think.
Cassel had good zip but our Tackles didn't look too good imo.
I think we have sone rookies who will provide good depth and play key roles.
Maybe it's the homer in me but i think this will be an exciting year.

T Jackson would have had a good game if "almost sacks" were a stat... otherwise the biggest highlight of his night was making 10 feet tall Joe Flacco look like Vick moving around in the pocket.
I also have a problem with the Chiefs approach to 3rd and long which showed up again early in the game with Cassel settling for a 2 yard give up play. The Chiefs have to lead the league in give up plays on 3rd and long.
In today's NFL, third and 7-10, while certainly a low % situation, should not be considered a give up play, yet the Chiefs seem far too content to either just run the ball or have Cassel throw a 2 yard safe pass.
