Chiefs’ Branden Albert has shoulder sprain and is expected to play Thursday
September 16
BY RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said offensive left tackle Branden Albert has an AC sprain in his shoulder but should be available to play on Thursday night at Philadelphia.

“He’s a little sore today,” Reid said of Albert, “but I think he’ll be OK.”

Reid also said tight end Anthony Fasano had an ankle sprain and cornerback Brandon Flowers has some inflammation on a knee but was hopeful they’d be ready to play.

Albert left Sunday’s win over Dallas early in the second quarter but returned after missing just four snaps. Second-year man Donald Stephenson replaced Albert for those plays.

Fasano also left the game but returned. The Chiefs are carrying three tight ends on the active roster, but rookie tight end Travis Kelce has yet to appear on an offensive play this season because of a knee bruise.

Fasano was gimping around quite a bit on Sunday. He didn't look good at all. Wonder if Flowers knee had anything to do with his poor coverage on Bryant?

Flowers wasn't covering Bryant poorly, so much as it was a terrible matchup for him.

Flowers play is physical and to play as uncomfortable deep into the receiver's bubble at all times as possible.

Dez is making his career being amazing at those things, and oh yeah, is a physical Adonis on top of that.

One of them was.

The other ones were just Bryant getting a step on him. Moreover, he was absolutely abused on the play that Bryant dropped.

Flowers is a damn good CB but he was just a step behind Bryant all day Sunday. He had one play where Bryant simply beat him despite good coverage, but that was the exception rather than the norm.

I don't know many people who thought this was a damn good group of TEs except for Mitch Holthus and Kendall Gammon.

A rookie, a gimp, and an average middle-of the-road free agent. That's what we had in training camp. Then ditched the gimp for some perhaps slightly promising but mostly meh training camp cuts.

Not much has changed.

Eh, before Moeaki broke one too many times I thought it was solid at the least, and plenty of folks here were pretty excited about that group, don't recall anyone saying "elite group" so I summed it up as "damn good looking" for the post.

If that phrasing was a stretch, then i'm sure most expected a damn bit better than what we've gotten thus far.

I counted 2 or 3 where he overran his coverage by a step or two, then in coming back to the ball just couldn't get any position whatsoever in fighting for the ball. Dez jumped over him like he wasn't even there. That's not terrible, and against mortal WRs, most QBs wouldn't throw those passes.

No question - Dez is a tough matchup for Flowers.

But some of these weren't exactly like when he got beat by Andre Johnson a year or two back - he was right there and AJ just took it away.

This was him being simply outperformed physically. Once it was Dez's leaping ability and sheer height. A couple other times it was Dez just being quicker/more agile.

It gets to a point I made several years ago w/r/t Carr when so many people were bagging on him (before the rest of the board caught up) - Carr has never been an appreciably worse cover corner than Flowers, it was just that when Carr got beat in coverage it was mental so it had a tendency to look awful. When Flowers gets beat in coverage, it's because he's simply not that fast, not that strong and not that quick. He's whip smart and hard-nosed, but the dude's physically limited out there. He appears to have done everything right so we excuse him failing to get the job done because a better physical specimen simply outperformed him.

In the end, beat is beat. Dale Carter suffered from the same perception - he made plays Hasty couldn't make on his best days...then he'd turn around and make a mistake that Hasty wouldn't make. Meanwhile Hasty would get beat by guys simply being better athletes than him. Fans wouldn't hold Hasty's failures as heavily against him as they would Carter's because they looked far less stupid. Fans don't sally stupid.

But beat is beat and Flowers got beat like a drum by Dez Bryant. And while Jackson isn't nearly as strong as Dez, if Flowers doesn't do a lot better job getting his hands on him, Jackson will blow right the hell past Brandon this week.

the starter is contributing nicely, the back up got cut and the rook is struggling & dinged up. I bet they bump Harris up before this season ends.

I wouldn't call 4 catches in 2 games all that nice, i'm sure its part of the reason Alex has targeted 9 and 7 different receivers, respectively.

He wasn't some world beater in miami, but I definitely expected moar.

I'm not worried about DeSean. Flowers would get schooled by Jacoby Ford years ago, but I think this shit is different now. He's in a better system and is looked to attack at the line of scrimmage on every down.

Did not practice: TE Anthony Fasano (ankle)

This remains the KC Chiefs No. 1 injury concern heading into the Philadelphia Eagles game on Thursday. Here's the situation at tight end:

No. 1 tight end Anthony Fasano has an ankle sprain and we have no idea if he will be able to play or not. He hasn't practiced in either of this week's practices. There has been no indication from Reid what will happen here.

No. 2 tight end Travis Kelce has hardly played this season because of a knee injury. He has been active but he hasn't been playing. He's an unknown.

Flowers should reel Jackson in, by the way. DeSean Jackson doesn't play Flowers' physical game (that Dez Bryant absolutely thrives in).

I'm actually impressed that Flowers held Dez Bryant to only 4 catches for 41 yards after the 1st quarter. Nice to see that Bob Sutton can make adjustments (haven't seen that happen on the Chiefs sideline in a while) and we have a #1 CB who doesn't lose his cool.

Sean Smith looked very Bartee this last game.

In position to make a play but no ability to read the WR to know when the ball is coming or prevent the catch.

Smith has the ability to stick like glue to almost any WR out there but as soon as QB's learn he has 0 awareness they'll pick on him like Routt...

McGrath better be ready...

Make Dorsey look like a genius for bringing him on board at last second like he did with Ron Parker so far. Jalil Brown would've never made a play like that in the Dallas game.

Fasano was gimping around quite a bit on Sunday. He didn't look good at all. Wonder if Flowers knee had anything to do with his poor coverage on Bryant?

I wonder if his feelings are hurt and he's pussing out about Jackson. Desean torched him last time and he's exactly the kind of WR he struggles against. Probably not but, it makes me wonder.

Who starts if Flowers can't go?

Robinson and he has done well against Jackson in past three years.

According to Arrowhead Pride, Hemingway had a total of 4 offensive snaps. That's far too low imo..


Also Catapano had 0 defensive snaps. I thought he looked good against the jags, id like to see him get more snaps on 3rd downs and passing situations.
Catapano was in the Jacksonville game because Bailey was injured.

Yep. Still impressed me though.

why?

people were talking Catapano up after the Jags game too.

i'm not a huge state guy, but as far as i can tell Catapano has tallied no recordable stats in the 2 games of this season. No tackles, no assists, no pressures ..... no nothing.

How impressive can he be?


seems like fan driven rumor/hope more than anything of substance

He was the 4th down red zone hero at the end of the Jags game. That's where the hype comes from.

He did a pretty good job at applying pressure. He's a rookie with tremendous upside. Id like him to get more snaps. improving on his zero snaps shouldn't be hard.

I wonder if the paint chips from grade school you ate are finally kicking in?

Maybe you should watch a game every once in a while, rather than just looking at the recorded stats.

oh GFY

I've watched every snap of every game, all year ... including preseason.

Instead of just answering the question of why? giving opinions/examples you have to be a snarky fucking bitch. As usual btw .. always a dick, always.

Laz, you need to learn to take a ball-busting without wiping your bleeding vagina all over the board. Watch the Jags game and watch Catapano. He collapsed the pocket on several occasions.
