I'd like to know how the Chiefs are going to score this week....we basically have a crappy line..no RB's and a QB that Herm feels he has to coddle and baby.

Whos needs the offense to score when you have Colquitt, and you expect your Defense to make game changing plays every week.

You just made me crack up, good job..Herm really does coach this team like he has the 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens defense back then when in reality it isn't even top 10 in the current league.

BS

I don't know if you're speaking statistically, but if you are the only reason for them not to be top 10 is because our offense blows.

Personally, I love our defense. The turnaround from a few years ago has been amazing (At the expense of our offense? That's not the point).

Without a legit RB, I think Herm reluctentley opens up the offense.

Statistically they aren't anywhere close to the top 10, that is the point. The 2000 Ravens had a god awful offense and they still had a great defense that was 1. If the defense was as good as some people act like it is, it would be top 10 bad offense or not.....

It also wouldn't give up 30 to GB and nearly 30 to Denver in back to back weeks at home.

Mecca, the Chiefs rank 9th in points allowed, and 10th in yards.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY AGAIN?

The league must be shittier than I thought......

Still, top notch defenses don't get smoked at home back to back weeks or fold at the end of games.....they have a long way to go.

I'd hope so it's Oakland.....

The only team they've played at full strength that has a good offense is GB, since Indy was missing half it's unit and they got wrecked by GB.

Just simply saying this defense needs work and isn't going to win games by itself, let's not act like it is THAT good.

Its tough to over come 3 offensive turnovers, one of which was a defensive score. No, this D isn't great, but its eons from where it was 4 years ago. Keep on hatin', dude...

and how many of those points against greenbay and denver were scored because of the offense??? how the heck can you hold defensive returns for touchdowns off of offensive turnovers against the D.

You do understand that we both basically think the same thing right? It's odd how that somehow leads to a perception that I said it's as bad as it ever was which isn't even remotely the case.

People might percive you a little differently if you didn't take the pessimistic view on things. The glass can be more than half full, but ou still focus on how much is empty. Instead of saying that you think the D has improved, you say you don't think it's a top 10 D.

The draft stats of Harris.

Gilbert Harris Grade: 3.3 Position: FB (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/breakdowns/by_position/fb.html)
Class: Sr
School: Arizona (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/breakdowns/by_school/arizon.html)
Conference: Pacific-10 (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/breakdowns/by_conference/pac10.html)
Ht., Wt.: 6-1.5, 235
40 Time: 4.74
Grading System (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/grading_system/)
BIO: Second on the team in rushing as a senior posting 79/284/5 and 22/107/2 as a receiver. Junior totals included 67/285/2 on the ground when he was a back-up running back.

POSITIVES: Nice-sized lead blocker with abilities handling the ball. Tough on the inside, lays his shoulders into defenders and drives up the field on initial contact. Plays to his 40 time and has a burst of speed. Creates space for ball carriers around tackle and is strong at the point. Shuffles his feet in pass protection.

NEGATIVES: Lacks soft hands as a receiver. Must work harder to finish blocks. Does not always play with a sense of urgency.

ANALYSIS: Flashing skill as both a lead blocker and ball carrier, Harris has the ability to play in the NFL yet must consistently play to a high level.

PROJECTION: Early Seventh Round (2006 Draft)

Nice another back with stone hands...and can't finish a block. Lets hope after he has improved.

Yea people do that with me, but some people are also ridiculous overly optimistic about things.

They get a dominant DT and some young corners then they are a legitimate top of the league defense.

Useless speculation from RaiderLand:

Because the deadline for activating Bush was this week, there was speculation that either Jordan or Rhodes would be released to make room for him. Instead, Bush was put on the reserve/non-football list because the Raiders knew that whichever back was released would be picked up by either Kansas City or Denver, their next two opponents.

This was pure Al Davis, who is always looking for a way to screw someone, even if it hurts his own team.

A very interesting article that questions whether running backs are overvalued as little known or undrafted backups have taken the lead filling in for the team's injured running backs.

A few excerpts:

"And despite the run of successful backup backs this year, 7 of the season’s top 10 rushers are former first-round choices. It should lead to more discussion over how to gauge highly acclaimed running backs."
But Peterson injured his knee Nov. 11. Chester Taylor played last week against the Raiders and gained 164 yards. It was the eighth-highest total for a running back this season; Peterson had two bigger games.
But running backs, generally, have been losing cachet for years. Twelve times from 1970 to 1990, at least six running backs were chosen in the first 32 picks of the draft. Since 1991, no more than five running backs were chosen among the top 32.
Even the men who chase the backs do not see a wide disparity in talent.

“If you don’t look at the number on the jersey, you usually can’t tell who’s in there,”
