Chiefs Branden Albert is innocent. - Page 2

Hammock Parties · 08-27-2011, 08:11 AM

I think these screenshots show that Albert is just fine (other than a play or two) and Richardson (as usual) is the real issue.

This is every pass play we ran save one, which was a 20-yard completion to Urban.

#1 - Play-action fake, 0 pressure. Cassel is late with the throw, incomplete. Looks like Richardson is holding. Albert is innocent.

#2 - Another play fake, Moeaki, not Albert, gets beaten by the defensive end. Albert is innocent.

#3 - Quick screen to some scrub. 0 pressure.

#4 - Another play fake, the blitz comes up the middle and Charles can't get in position to pick it up. Richardson is getting beat around the edge. Albert is innocent.

#5 - Straight drop, 0 pressure, Mo drops it. Mo is having a shitty preseason. Albert is innocent.

#6 - Straight drop, 0 pressure, scrub makes an exciting catch for two yards.

#7 - Middle screen, Rams sniff it out and it's dead.

#8 - Straight drop, 0 pressure, complete to Steve Titty. Looks like Richardson is holding again. Albert is innocent.

#9 - Wiegmann snaps the ball early and both tackles get "beat." Either this is on Wiegmann or everyone else didn't know the snap count, because they all get out of their stances late. Albert is guilty of being as dumb as everyone else or smarter than Wiegmann.

#10 - Palko's in, 0 pressure, pass to breasts.

#11 - Rams blitz #24, Palko hits his hot read (some scrub). No pressure from Albert's man.

#12 -Nice pocket, no pressure from Albert's man.

#13 -Richardson gets beat, gets called for holding. Albert is innocent.

#14 -Quick pass, both tackles cut their man. Sort of a shitty cut on Albert's part but, eh, irrelevant....and innocent.

#15 - Albert and Richardson ride their men out of the play, Palko steps up into a clean pocket and overthrows Mo. Albert is innocent.

#16 - Screen pass.

#17 - Richardson gets beat, some scrub gets destroyed on the blitz pickup. Complete to Urban.

#18 - Albert gets beat horribly. This is the first true pressure Albert allows during the entire game so far. Cassel escapes and dumps it to a scrub. Albert is guilty of giving up Richardson-like pressure.

#19 - Cassel's pass is batted at the line. 0 pressure.

#20 - Throw to Bowe who is interfered with, no call. Albert's man gets to the inside but stops as soon as the ball is thrown. Albert could have recovered most likely. End result: innocent.

Anyway, one guy can play his position, one guy is a disaster.

I've been very happy with Alberts play for the most part over the last year or so (minus some miscues). Hudson played well last night as well. Clearly Richardson is the one not pulling his weight.

Great videos GoChiefs, really easy to anaylze who's playing well and who isn't when you have them all next to each other and ready to play. Appreciate it.

Cassel had better play better come regular season. I think turning it on come a real game is going to be difficult, but he did it last year (sort of). I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in the meantime, but man I watch these clips and it's hard not to worry.

That block by Hudson was textbook.

Check Richardson on that play. I heard the call was actually meant to be on Richardson. Which would be stupid considering it would be in the opposite direction of the play being ran.

The refs did seem to be calling just about every single penalty that even looked CLOSE to a penalty. I doubt some of those are called in the regular season.

Sure? I have seen this called holding before.

albert rides his man out of the play and picks up a second defender keeping charles clean

nice

I'd like to see a full GIF of #5, please.

I don't have access to the replay, but from what I remember, Mo was open and Cassel overshot him.

**The Bad Guy** · 08-27-2011, 08:53 AM

Richardson is ****ing dog shit. He's one of the worst RTs in the entire league. Replace him immediately. His play is unacceptable.

That's holding every single time.

The Rams DL was getting off the block, and Hudson grabbed him.

The pass was a little bit high, but catchable.

milkman · 08-27-2011, 09:00 AM

That gif of Hudson's block isn't working for me.
For some reason, there is a gif here and there that just aren't running completely through, like they get stuck.

This is one of those.

But from waht I saw last night, Hudson gets his hands under the pads and keeps his man engaged.

Looked like the defender lost his balance when Hudson disengages.

But as I said last night, I wasn't watching closely, so I'll take a closer look when I rewatch the game.

and on Charles' TD run that was called back...Albert blew the hole wide open...dude is nails as a run blocker

Exactly right - well almost.

You forgot to speak to sacoshit, who's still asshurt that we have the best safety in football on our team instead of Okung, so he'll blister Albert any chance he gets.

Even from the stands you could tell that Albert was having a very nice game and that Richardson...well, he was not. Frankly, he had as bad a game as I've ever seen from an O-Lineman and I watched 2 seasons of Jordan Black.

It also appeared that Studebaker had a miserable game from where I sat as well, but that's a hijack for a different day. He and Jackson were completely incapable of holding the edge.

The 3 worst players on the field yesterday were Richardson, Stude and Jackson.

**the Talking Can** · 08-27-2011, 09:04 AM

i can see why they made the call on hudson...he's got his hands on the defender, when the defender lunges at charles it looks like Hudson is bringing him down....really depends on which angle the ref is seeing it from

amazing how Stude's limitations are suddenly clearer when he's replaced by Houston....everything Houston does screams Talent...though he still has a lot to learn, he got washed out on some running plays

Jackson is more active, but still not stout at the los..

tonyetony · 08-27-2011, 09:08 AM

Sorry Clay but screen shots and smartly edited GIFs won't be able to justify your love for Albert. Albert and Richardson played like ass last night period. After breaking down the tape I think Albert looks totally lost at times in these zone blocking schemes so some of his apparent regression rests squarely on the coaching staff. Good gawd look at pic #2, if that's all our LT has to offer in pass protection we might as well line up Pope over there and cover him with Moeaki.

After last week and looking at pic #14 I think the coaching staff better wise up and and quit depending on Albert to execute a decent cut block because either 1-he sucks at it and doesn't have the skill to make consistent cut blocks or 2- he hasn't been adequately coached to execute the block effectively.
