@ArrowheadPride: Per Chiefs new depth chart, LB Justin Houston is your new starting LOLB.

Got this one right after the one in the OP.

@ArrowheadPride: Had a ton of snaps there last week, over Andy Studebaker, so not a huge surprise he's listed on first team.

Supposedly they use a release from the Chiefs. /shrug

The Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/kansas-city-chiefs) have released their depth chart for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/detroit-lions) and we actually have a change: LB Justin Houston (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/131077/justin-houston) is now listed as the first string left outside linebacker, while LB Andy Studebaker (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/34438/andy-studebaker) moves to the second string. Houston played quite a bit more than Studebaker on Sunday so that's not a major surprise.

This guy can help cover the loss of Eric Berry, he needs to be as good as Berry was last year. His passrush can help make our safeties look better. Hopefully Kendrick Lewis can step up too.

Not so much hate as much as getting tired of the same old shit. I'm having a difficult time totally deciding if the problem is Cassel, the scheme/coaching, or a combination of the two. I'm leaning towards a combination, but I'm running out of defenses for Cassel and his inaccurate noodle arm.

The details don't matter.

Anyone with half a brain can see that Cassel, even if he is coached up and surrounded with mega talent, is going to fail in the big games.

We're in year three, he's almost 30 years old, and we're bitching about him completing 22 passes for 119 yards in a home opener against the Buffalo Bills.

We're so far away from actually winning a Super Bowl with this guy that we will be closer the instant we have a new starter.

Yep, i finally convinced. NO matter what we do as an organization, if Mark is still the QB, this is all for nothing. Wasting all this young talent is what its doing.

Cassel is exactly the QB teams like the Jets need. Teams like that don't really rely on a playmaker, just someone who can make short passes and keep possession. Cassel does us no good because the Chiefs rely on Offense to win games. Cassel has had 2 decent seasons in the NFL, he has some talent whether some choose to believe it. The Chiefs just looked completely out of sync, like they hadn't practiced at all for weeks. Cassel will bounce back, too many weaps on offense

I dont care if we have a Top 5 defense, we're never winning a Super Bowl with Mark Castle, and probably never a playoff game. Hopefully, he'll be gone after this season or on the bench. He's an NFL backup. If your starter gets hurt for a few games, he can come in and manage the game, but he'll never win games for you.

Not to be argumentative, but what WAS that last season in New England all about? Talent around him? Coaching? I can see that, but I'm pretty sure the dude has SOME skills. But he's not the kind of guy who will carry a team on his back, at least not successfully. I don't doubt the strength of his heart, more like the reach of his arm...or something like that.

Cassel came in last year right after an appendectomy and was a total warrior. Too bad he just doesn't seem like a guy for the post season. Frankly, he just confuses me. But the last 3 games that mattered, he was the worst QB we've seen in ages, including Huard. He was better than Croyle I guess, so there's that...but actually I don't think Croyle ever shit the bed over a 3 game stretch like that...

He still couldn't ever connect with Moss on the deep ball that year. Dude has no accuracy > 20 yards. It's a drawback.

Where does Cassel's talent come from? His ability to read a defense? His ability to throw the ball accurately on a consistent basis? His ability to run and avoid negative losses? His ability to catch his own pass?

As bad as Herm Edwards was, at least Herm recognized that you need to go downfield in today's NFL. He picked the wrong fragile QB to develop, but at least he recognized the league trend.

I'm not sure what Pioli thought Cassel's ceiling was. Haley should have known better that you can't play Cassel and this group of WR's sparingly and expect them to do well when the season starts.

Yeah, and then we coached him up to dump the ball off short again and again and again and again.

I will give credit for Herm to trying to develop a QB.....he just didn't have a clue how to...or how to protect one. LMAOLMAO

Did you see the game between the Pack and the Saints?

The Pack have a damn good defense, but Drew Brees sliced and diced them for over 400 yards.

The Dolphins had a top 10 defense last years, but Tom Brady abused them for over 500 yards.

Matt Stafford threw for over 300 yards.

Cam Newton went for over 400 yards.


You aren't winning a damn thing in this league unless you have a QB that can throw the ball downfield and make plays.

Defense has basically been outlawed.

I kind of wondering if the Chiefs are giving up on the season already you know? I don't mean that totally literally, I mean why would Haley keep players like Sasberilli and McGraw, and Pope as the starter with O'Connel backing him up, when he normally goes out and gets other guys like it's nothing? Remember in 09 when he would sign guys every week if he felt they could contribute better than the guys he had already? He can't possibly believe we're fine.
