Chiefs A few random observations after reviewing the game - Page 5

Ralphy Boy · 11-23-2009, 08:17 PM

Good games by Jon McGraw 8 tackles, 7 solo.
Studebaker 6 tackles, 5 solo & the 2 picks, unfortunately I think Vrabel will get his spot back.
Mike Brown 9 tackles, 5 solo
Brandon Flowers 6 tackles, 5 solo & the forced fumble. Stud.

Also very happy with our WR's.

Big ben seemed like he was superman back there flicking the chiefs off like flies. Chiefs need to learn how to tackle that is for sure.

He did for most of the game, guys a horse. They got him when it counted though.

I fully expect Albert to continue to develop from this point.

I said after the second game of the season that it would take 6 or 7 games before we started to see him begin to improve as he struggled with weight loss, technique and a new scheme.

Throw out the game he missed to injury, and it appears he is right on the pace I said he'd be on.

I expect he'll still have a couple of brain farts here and there, but by the end of the season, he should have allayed most concerns.

I hope by the end of the season he's left us no doubt that he is our LT. We need that and we need to know that.

Hines Ward is not a dirty player. I'm sick of that label placed on him by embarrassed LBs and DBs. The guy goes 100% intensity every snap, wants to hit you in the mouth, and takes every rover in the NFL's best shots every week only to dust himself off and smile. I only hope we could by some stroke of luck find a skill position player with his mentality. Personification of toughness/class/winning culture

I'm still holding out hope that Dwayne can develop into that kind of player (he obviously possesses greater natural talent, but intangibles? the jury's out) because there's no other career path I'd rather see him go down. Give me Hines Bowe over Dwayne Marshall anyday...

Hines Ward is a Grade-A douchebag, but he is not dirty.

The guy that stood out to me and was always making a play was McGraw #47. He gets there AND he tackles. Without even trying, I counted 5 missed tackles by DJ.

Both the Jags game and this one, they should have 10 more sacks than they do. Seriously, these guys should practice playing flag football. Even our 10 year olds know how to break down and not overrun the QB.

Yeah I agree. McGraw has been pretty impressive. I think he's definately earned a roster spot next year.

Yeah, well I have a few observations on the post.

I don't think the Steel is any better or worse than most teams and how they play in the NFL. It's a tough balls-out game and not for the faint of heart.

--Pope scored after the Steel DB failed to hand off the skinny post WR, took the bait and left Pope unattended.

--Charles had a good game, but to me, took too many huge hits. He won't last long doing this.

--Something happened with the Mojo on the team. Call it new chemistry, believing in the mission or a 'Coming to Jesus' moment. Something is different here and it could be a good thing.

@SD this Sunday will confirm or deny the above point.
