Chiefs Week 2 +/-

Sully · 09-15-2008, 08:48 AM

My week 2 plusses/minuses

Plusses:
1) Tank Tyler/Glen Dorsey: I know we gave up a ton of rushing yards. But up the middle these two were resetting the LOS, commanding double teams, and moving to the ball. I saw a ton of improvement in both of them, and came away very encouraged by them, and their future.
2) Colquitt: Oh, for the day that this guy won't be a standout in my mind after a game. He had the one poor punt, after the bad snap... but otherwise had a Pro Bowl-type game.
3) Um...uh... I can't really come up with a 3rd. it was that bad. I can't get too down this year, as I have no expectations, but...ugh. I guess th rain held off, so that's a plus.

Minuses:
1) QB: We have no one.
2) Coaching: We have no one. I think Gailey's hands are tied, with some of our talent and teh HC, but what was that Hagans shit?
3) Stadium operations: While we know it's under construction... have they completely given up on the year off the field, as well? It seems like they aren't even trying.
4) Larry Johnson: His post-game comments aside, what kind of douche gives that kind of effort in pass blocking, ona consistent basis? You'd think there would be some marginal improvement. It's clear that it's not a lack of ability, but a lack of effort... he just doesn't care. Move him. I wanted to love him. I tried for a few years... but I'm ready to move on.
5) DJ: He makes a great play, then disappears for a quarter. he is taking horrible angles, and not getting to the ballcarrier because of it. I thought Gun was supposed to be a great LB coach.

I'm sure I'm missing some, but those are my thoughts after sleeping on it.

Dujuan Morgan is a hitter.

Also, people who thought Pollard is slow don't ever need to be heard from again.

I wonder who that was?

Portlantis · 09-15-2008, 08:55 AM

In the secondary, I was pleasantly surprised by Brandon Carr. I know his **** up helped lead to the first McCalister touchdown, but hey, rookies will do stupid things.

L.A. Chieffan · 09-15-2008, 08:50 AM

Our secondary played well. Russell had a horrible game.

StcChief · 09-15-2008, 08:55 AM

Props to D Secondary. Tank/Dorsey. Just on the field way to much.

Hagans????

agreed trade LJ before the Deadline and kiss the Millions good bye as a bad investment.

Agreed on the secondary and DT's, I thought they looked really good. Pollard running down McFadden was pretty sweet.

Linebackers....ugh. We can't run a cover-2 with these guys; just flat can't do it. With the defensive backfield we have and the LB corps, we really are fairly well set for a cover-1.

Too bad Herm is completely incapable of adjusting to anything. He is beyond worthless. Please please please fire this guy.

Hali was no where to be seen against some scrub

Sully · 09-15-2008, 09:31 AM

Also, Albert had a down game...
I won't count that as a plus or minus... because he's a rookie who had no time int he preseason.

Pollard rocks, he's a play maker and I'm glad he's a Chief. Colquitt too. Everybody else sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!
