Geno gonna rape ya

[Rausch]

Like most Pioli additions they run block like monsters and pass block like they're dancing with the stars...

[RunKC]

I know that praising Pioli is a sin here, but he's done a nice job with the OL in the last 2 years.

They played really well today. Charles had some good holes to run through and VonDoom was essentially invisible most of the day. That's impressive since 2 rookies were starting.

[Braincase]

An hour after the game, and Stephenson just picked up another holding call.

[Hoover]

The oline is the only thing that has improved under Pioli. It's smart to take olinemen in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Might need to still eye a center in future drafts.

[ChiefMojo]

As a whole, Stephenson has done better than expected this year. Sure he wasn't expected to play as much as he has but since he has played, he hasn't been horrible. I think he has the making of being a quality LT in this league for many years. Still needs to get stronger and get better technique wise but the guy has God given ability that you need for a LT.

He played well. Then again the Chiefs dont throw all that much. lol Then again, we had jordan black here with herm did the same thing and he still sucked really bad. So yeah, he did well.

I'm not sure I agree with the general compliments about the offensive line. Given what we've invested, it seems like an underperforming group. In fact, many of the clips of Cassel being Cassel could actually be blamed on an offensive linemen or two or three getting destroyed.

With the high picks that we've invested, it doesn't seem like a talent problem. I think it's a game-planning problem. Blitzes and rush packages have bewildered our line all year. If you want to sack Cassel, all you have to do is alternate a few blitzes and stunts and you're pretty much guaranteed to have a rusher come free, and that's when the Cassel fun begins.

I'm not saying we need to replace the personnel at this point. I do wonder how they're game-planning, though, because our line is caught by surprise on every pass play.

[Bump]

he seemed to do okay, I didn't hear dumerville's name called once.

[kcxiv]

Didnt hear doomer or Von Miller's name at all really. Just that whitewood or whatever his name is.

Our oline is a little inconsitant at times, but over all they are solid. Problem is that our ****ing QB's have no pocket presence. All you have to do is go back to when Kyle Orton played and how in 3 games he was sacked once. Look at the pressure we put on Manning today, and how he knows where and when to step up in the pocket. Its quite amazing how good qb's can do that.

I would agree that the coaching is dog shit all the way around. A lot of players and all the coaches and gm should lose their jobs this year.

[Marcellus]

He played fine and if we had a QB the whole line would look ****ing great right now.

Kinda like the broncos played last year when they didn't have a qb

Improving on the POS we used to call an O-line is not hard.
