Powe

[SAUTO]

So what does the planet think if his play against the ravens?

I thought he made a great play in sniffing out the screen and making the tackle, even when he had to dodge #70 who looked clueless about what was going on.

Looked like a wiley vet there...

I think in three years when we learn that the Chiefs almost traded them for 3rd round picks will piss a lot of people off.

For every Powe tackle in my mind all I hear is **Skadoosh** Kung Fu Panda style.

I think Powe looks badass!

The guy is clearly strong, as illustrated by the fact that he's holding his own aganst the OL even though he's playing too high.

When he learns to play low and get under the pads, he is going to be absolute beast.

But the screen play was the defensive play of the game.

He splits a double team, reads the play and shows great speed for a man his size, running about 15 yards to make the stop.

Tyson Jackson was really active, getting push and pressure against the pass, and shedding blocks to make tackles against the run.

Jovan Belcher and DJ both played with outstanding gap discipline and were a big part of keeping Rice in check when they were in.

DeMorrio Williams, I thought, was the guy most responsible for the big TD run, because at the snap he failed to maintain his gap responsibility, allowing a huge hole for Rice to cut back into.

Houston and Sheffield are both faster, quicker and more athletic than Andy Studebaker.

If either, or both, can show something in run and pass coverage, Studebaker should be relegated to bench duty.

The secondary starters are just balls.

Depth......eh......Can we end the Quienton Lawrence project?

He looks like William Bartee revisited.

On offense, Dwayne Bowe looks even more focused than last year.

Jon Asomaoh looks rock solid.

He was pushed back into the pocket a couple of times by Ngata, but overall, he was winning the battles against whoever he was lined up against for most of the night.

Hudson also looked rock solid, and he shouldn't be sitting behinf Casey Weigman for more than a handful of games.

One of the reasons I hated hiring Bill Muir is the fact that he's always subscribed to cut blocking as a great tool in pass protect, but the DEs these days are just to athletic to attempt to cut block.

Every time Albert or Richardson attempted it, they simply got beat, and Albert got hurt when hit in the head by a knee.

When, however, they stayed on their feet and got their hands on their man, they did a nice job.

We need Gaither and Harris to stay healthy, cause after those guys, the only O-Lineman worth holding onto is David Mims, and he's a big project.

Good post. Agree on all accounts.

[Hammock Parties]

I didn't even realize Sheffield was that athletic...or fast. The dude is ****ing HUGE for having that kind of explosion.

****. I hate Tribal's nickname. Absolutely hate it. It fits, but it still sucks.

This is going to be like a song in my head. If I hear mother ****in' Jack Black in my head next time I watch a game, I'm coming for you.

Off topic, but I hated the first Kung Fu Panda and so I never even bothered with the second. Just because of what you just mentioned.

Wow, thanks for that analysis, Milkman. I find it humorous that the average CP'er knows more about football than many in the media whom are paid to cover the Chiefs.

ya, it should be a requirement to be a long term fan of the KC teams to get a job as a big time journalist there. Are there really no sports fans that went to college for journalism? It seems that some guy from New York will get a job at the Seattle newspaper and shit like that.

There are quite a few in this forum that know way more than some of the "ass clowns" in the media, KC and worldwide. Without a journalism degree, about the best shot is just to make a blog and hope it becomes huge.

I'd rather read milkman's analysis of the game than some idiot like Mellinger anytime.

You sir are why I read this forum. Excellent analysis and think you are spot on most of the time. My only argument is that I still think Cassell can be a good QB. My rep will hang on that.

I never argued that Cassel can't be a good QB.

He still has to improve his mechanics, and make quicker reads.

My big problem with Cassel was that he was project that would be at or approaching 30 before we see it completed, if he does become a good QB.

[Bump]

Powe is gonna rape all season long!

[kcxiv]

Hopefully, Cassel can be a Trent Green like get it kinda late. Trent was not the best, but he was good enough, we just didnt have a defense that was worth a shit. haha

WE will see.
