Chiefs Late night bullshit: Random observations about Chiefs/Colts. - Page 3

Feel free to put this thread on ignore.

Basically, I'm rewatching the game after really enjoying it this afternoon, and dumping random thoughts about parts I may have missed the first time around into this thread.

It's navel-gazing, sure, but some people have enjoyed it in the past.

Yikes.

The first Colts play of the game -- a Luck rollout that ends in a great Marcus Peters deflection -- largely went nowhere because the intended target was locked down by Steven Nelson, who played his ass off today.

Yes Nelson between Peters and Gaines is ideal - he is such a great tackling db, and his coverage range is improving.

10:09 in the 1st, Hali gets Greco'd by Castonzo, and a huge play to Hilton is called back.

Hilton is just a lousy matchup for Peters. Just way too fast,

He runs a shallow drag route and torches Peters all the way across the field.

When the play extends, he turns on a dime and darts back towards the hash marks. Peters has overcommitted to the sideline and by the time he flips his hips to change directly, Hilton's hauling the ball in and is already past him.

Peters grabs the towel off his waist. That's literally the best he could do.

Agendas will continue on this board....

Pleased to see Foles come in and play efficiently. Was also impressed by the consistent pressure the front 7 applied as well - arguably the best defensive effort of the year with exception to the Jets game.

My thing is that Foles is willing to take the shots down field to keep the defense honest. Alex gets too predictable with short passes every single play and makes the offense one dimensional. I don't have a problem with the short passes, but they can't be 95% of your offense.

My Directv glitched out for 10 seconds during that play. Never saw it. I like Harris but he needs to stop dropping passes like that. Or fumbling. Did once and almost a second with that ridiculous screen pass where he tried running backwards.

1 catch for 20 yards on the day. How is that a lousy matchup?

8:54 -- 1st and 10 Chiefs, first play of the drive.

They try Ware off left tackle, but it gets bottled up.

Two blockers choke on their assignments: Sherman got stood up by his assignment, who was able to bottle up the whole, and Morse gets steamrolled by a DL.

Ehinger blowing up some fool at the second level, though. Guy is a surprisingly nimble downfield blocker.

Direckshun · 10-30-2016, 10:49 PM

The 2nd and 9 immediately after that is a play so shockingly stupid by Demetrius Harris I can barely fathom it.

Foles is in the shotgun, looks to pass the ball. Harris is hanging around behind the line of scrimmage. Blockers are already downfield plowing the way for him. It's clear this was a designed screen.

Harris catches the ball and instead runs away from the play, dancing around behind the line of scrimmage and almost fumbles it when he's tackled for a loss.

He's a ****ing 6'7" tight end. How many defenders does he think he's going to juke?

Dante84 · 10-30-2016, 10:50 PM

Ramik Wilson has been quiet, but I think that's a good thing. He's doing his job after getting a second chance.

Direckshun · 10-30-2016, 10:51 PM

On 3rd and 13, Foles never really had much of a chance, but any chance he had evaporated when Ehinger got totally embarrassed by a DL's spin move.

Led the team in tackles last week.

This week was a DJ week. But a great re-pick-me-up by Dorsey.

Direckshun · 10-30-2016, 10:53 PM

Demarcus Robinson is a pretty good gunner.

Gunning well got Conley playing time. So who knows.

Direckshun · 10-30-2016, 10:55 PM

On the Frank Gore fumble, he likely wasn't going anywhere anyway. That play was bottled up.

Ramik Wilson hit the gap and was putting the play down by the time the ball came out.
