Chiefs blitz: A look at the good, bad and ugly in Chiefs’ game against Miami

Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson, who bore down on Miami’s Ricky Williams, was one of the few bright spots in Saturday night’s loss.
Big highlight

Not that it mattered much, but linebacker Derrick Johnson had a huge game. He made big hits, fought off blocks to make tackles, chased down plays from long range, batted down a pass at the line and made a tackle in coverage just short of the first down line to force a Miami punt. But he also was fooled by play-action on a second-quarter Miami touchdown that was inexplicably called out of bounds.

Big lowlight

Plenty to choose from here. Ted Ginn’s 59-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter tops the list. After Pat Thomas missed early in the return, nobody for the Chiefs came close to getting a hand on Ginn.

What we learned

We already knew things weren’t going to come easily for the Chiefs, at least not early in the season. We weren’t sure their problems ran this deep.

Next question

If the Chiefs can’t be competitive against the Dolphins, how bad will it get when they head to New England in two weeks?

The hot seat

Dantrell Savage made a mistake that might have cost him a job. He caught a first quarter kickoff at the Chiefs’ 2 and promptly stepped out of bounds on the spot. The Chiefs can’t afford that kind of goof. His competition, B.J. Sams, later fumbled a punt return and Miami recovered, but the play was wiped out by a Dolphins penalty.
Franklin surgery

Rookie wide receiver Will Franklin, who injured his right knee in practice on Thursday, had arthroscopic surgery and will miss at least two weeks, Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson said.

Fantasy watch

Brodie Croyle (down): Two turnovers. Hopefully, you weren’t going to draft him anyway.

Chiefs defense (down): It took until late in the third quarter for the Chiefs to get their first takeaway of the preseason — against a rookie backup.

Larry Johnson (down): With 36 yards in 13 carries, he didn’t average even 3 yards per and didn’t come close to scoring on his fourth-down carry.

Uh, Savage just made a rookie or a young player mistake which I can tolerate. It's a awareness problem, which can be coached out. Sams FUMBLED the ball, which I cannot tolerate, and he's been in the league for some time. Sams also looks like Eddie Drummond Jr.

There's a difference there Titless. Jesus Christ, how does this clown happen to have a job after all these years?

Savage: Aggressive, stupid mistake.

Sams: Drummond clone, with more fair catches.

I was listening to the Chiefs broadcast on Sirius and Dawson chimed in to say, and in a rather disgustingly voice when Sams did a fair catch, "Well, he's playing like he already lost his his job."

Yeah, I hate it when fans claim that a player "doesn't play with any heart" because how do we really know...

But what other conclusion is one supposed to draw when the SOB repeatedly signals for a fair catch with no one around him? I smell Vagisil.

It wasn't the casual fan- It was Len Dawson who said that.

I was just dovetailing my previous point to Lenny's comment...

Local media coverage of the Chiefs has and will continue to suck.

Dude, I'm twice as old as you and it's always sucked.

Even when they were "good".

Also, the Chiefs Television Network is one of the shoddiest productions I've seen from a professional sports team.

It's atrocious.

Savage let his impatience to make a play cloud his judgement because everyone knows by the time they get to middle school football let alone high school football that you let the ball go if it is inside the 10. And you know he knows this. I give him a pass and praise him for wanting to make a play.

Looks like it. It's sad, too. The Kansas City market deserves better from its media.

Hey, at least somebody had a sense of urgency to make something happen tonight.
