Chiefs Who stood out in tonight's game?

I still think Fulton presents a better option this year. I said after Gm 1 that Ehinger just didn't look to have the functional strength he needed to excel on the interior yet and it was even more exposed this week.

No, he won't play Aaron Donald every week but he'll also have to play 4 quarters and any strength gap is only going to get wider as the game goes longer. Moreover, he's not going to get to rotate in/out like the DL he'll be facing. Finally, he's gotten beat badly enough by strength the last 2 weeks that I'm confident that any DT with above average power will give him fits and over 4 quarters of football, that can blow up a lot of drives.

Fulton needs to be the starter this year, IMO.

And while I don't agree with you on Parker's play being necessary (that ball was horribly underthrown and Parker had position; just turn your head, dumbass), I am with you on the Murray, Nelson and White thing. What were people seeing there? Especially this fawning praise of DJ White. Huh? I really thought Murray and White were routinely among the worst players on the field and Nelson wasn't a lot better.

The defense, as a whole, was ****ing terrible. It was hard for me to find any true bright spots at all.
