Steel Men Are Coming

Bell, for the productive runner he is, is the hesitating-ist, stand straight-uppist, runner in a long time. Commentators tried to liken him to Marcus Allen, but while Marcus would be patient behind the line, when he found a hole he burrowed into it. Bell somehow gets away with practically standing behind the line until something opens, then skitters more than burrows to the second-level. This is where missing DJ will hurt the most. We need a gunner to ferret him out every time he pauses for a lane to open up

I'm wondering if they don't have Berry spy him the entire game?

Methinks Dirty Dan will be in the box a lot to cover Bell out of the backfield and if Bell splits wide, Parker will draw him.

Yeah, that makes more sense. I hope Houston is well enough to improve our run D.

I'd like Berry to help out the ILB's and make sure Bell doesn't run for 200 yards. Let's count on the DL to do their job and the rest of the secondary to handle one on one with everyone else besides Brown.

This is very possible. Jesse James is not a threat and I'm going to speculate that Green will be out again as well(if that proves to not be the case then this may have to change). Put Peters on Brown and help him at times with Parker or Sorensen or whatever. If Eli Rogers and company beat us, then so be it

That's a foreseeable option

Can't post the link but, James Harrison just added fuel to the fire by his "We played them this year? Didn't know" quote. I say we get that bad taste out of our mouth and draw blood this Sunday!

Harrison deserves to get lit up, he's nothing but a bully

March is an unknown but could be huge for our defense, but he could also be JAG or even bad.

His sir he does. Ware needs to have his best game Sunday, go full beast mode. It's time to put up or shut up!

The plan should be to get up early on them and force them to abandon the run. Their secondary is not good and Conley, Hill, Kelce and Maclin are all trustworthy receivers in 1v1 coverage.

I'm moving Sorenson in the box as the 8th man while bracketing Brown. I would rush a 9th player every so often on a sneak blitz on 1st downs to help stop Bell.

I think our offense can score on them and if Houston is healthy I think he's putting pressure on Big Ben often.

[Chief Northman]

Houston-Jones-Poe-Hali/Ford

Sorenson-March-Wilson

Peters-Nelson-Parker-Berry-Mitchell

*This is who I expect to garner the most snaps
- One of Berry/Parker will help on Brown always
- Nelson mans slot
- Sorenson on Bell out of backfield, Parker if he splits wide.
- Our safeties can handle James/Green
- Our corners can handle Heyward-Bey/Hamilton
- Must get pressure with 4

The Chiefs have beaten better teams than the Steelers this year on the road (Atlanta, for one).

Reid is 19-2 off the bye. This isn't the same team, at all, that was beat on the road in Pittsburgh back in September.

It'll be a tough game but the Chiefs will win.

I'd argue that the Steelers (right now) are a better team than ATL was when we played them, but I agree completely about this being a better team than in September.

Personally, I'd sell out to contain Bell and force Ben to beat me. If Bell has room, we're going to have to have the biggest offensive outburst of the season.

Man, I just don't see it.

As I just said in a related thread, they beat two teams this year with a winning record (Chiefs and Giants) and just beat the 29th ranked defense, at home, vs. a backup QB.

They're a good team but they're going to be severely tested at Arrowhead. And the Chiefs have Terrance Mitchell across from Peters this time, not Phil Gaines.

Ford hit his stride, as has Jones, Berry and Sorenson. Houston might help out a bit, too.
