Chiefs Update 9/19
September 19, 2008 - Bob Gretz |

From The Truman Sports Complex

The Chiefs defensive line had trouble stopping the run last Sunday. This Sunday, they may have trouble getting healthy defensive ends on the field.

After the Chiefs wrapped up a 75-minute indoor practice, Herm Edwards said both starting DEs Tamba Hali and Turk McBride would be listed as questionable for participation against the Falcons in Atlanta. McBride has the abdominal strain that he suffered against the Raiders. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

Hali, however, was a limited participant because of a knee injury that he suffered during practice.

If both Hali and McBride can’t play, that would move rookie DE Brian Johnston into the starting lineup. At the least, he’s going to get a lot more playing time than he’s seen in the first two games, when he was sprinkled into the defense for a play or two. The other defensive end on the roster is veteran Alfonso Boone. On the practice squad is rookie DE Jason Parker, who would have to be activated and another player would have to come off the roster.

Again, QB Brodie Croyle and CB Pat Surtain are both out of Sunday’s game with right shoulder injuries.

One man’s guess would have Croyle, Surtain, LB Napoleon Harris, G Brian De La Puente and T Barry Richardson as five of the seven inactive players this week. The other spots will likely depend on how Hali and McBride are Sunday morning at the Georgia Dome.

The Chiefs worked inside with piped in crowd noise since they’ll be playing inside on Sunday.

I think it was safe to start him before the injuries

Well that's just lovely. The guy I'm playing in FF this week has Michael Turner. I'm so getting beat.

Well, the pussy keeps jumping in my lap so maybe she hit a few keys?

I know Westbrook is the shit and has been in FF but he's up against one of the top rated run defenses in Pittsburgh. Then again he had his share of scores against Dallas?

Michael Turner could break the NFL single-game rushing record.

It's like the fat girl sitting alone at the bar late on a Friday night. Part of you wants to take her home because there's the possibility that, inside, she's a beautiful person you would enjoy getting to know and another part of you wants to club her over the head with a chair.

and then there's endelt who wants to take her home, roll her in flour, and look for the wet spots.

Go with Westbrook, the guy has a eye for the endzone.

Maybe this kid could get some reps at Rush End in passing situations(depending on that whole stopping the run thing)
