Great to see DOD get some work tonight.

He's a baller.

[Sassy Squatch]

Yes.

[Mecca]

The best thing that happened for the defense was Terrence Smith getting hurt, not nice to say but he shouldn't be on defensive snaps.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He’s absolutely gotta play that dime LB spot. Which is exactly what he was drafted to do.

What a revelation for this team to find tonight.

His nickname should be the Department Of Defense (DOD!)

I feel bad about it but yeah

[Sannyasi]

If this guy can keep playing like a stud that's exactly what this defense needs.

[dirk digler]

DoD, Watts, Lucas all should have been playing from the get go. So far Veach's first draft is starting to look pretty good.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

DoD, Watts, Lucas all should have been playing from the get go. So far Veach's first draft is starting to look pretty good.

The fact that we’re finding all these things out through injury makes me think KC has a horse shoe firmly up its ass. LMAO

[PunkinDrublic]

If he keeps playing like that not only is he going to get a huge contract but Pete might offer to blow him for a week.

[DaFace]

Lucas was a trade, but yeah, all those guys are looking like they'll stick.

[Molitoth]

People need an opportunity. many times they get it due to injury rather than coaches being good talent evaluators.

[Demonpenz]

Priest has to get hurt for us to show how good LJ is Thomas Jones has to get hurt for JCharles to play. Ware has to get hurt for Hunt to show what he has. KC has a thing with playing broke dicks

Most teams are hesitant to put young players on the field. It happens.

Or Sutton is afraid to start rookies for some reason.

[Simply Red]

yip!

[htismaqe]

Or Sutton is afraid to start rookies for some reason.

The head coach likely has a say in that as well.

[Chiefs=Champions]

Took a while to learn the playbook, but looked great at times tonight.

[mnchiefsguy]

Or Sutton is afraid to start rookies for some reason.

Just shows that Sutton does not know how to manage talent.

[RunKC]

The fact that we’re finding all these things out through injury makes me think KC has a horse shoe firmly up its ass. LMAO

He was starting to play more snaps gradually before this, but no way was he ready to play day 1. He missed most of camp and couldn’t get on the practice field to actually learn the defense.

IIRC he didn’t attend some OTA’s either bc of his graduation from Clemson.

Or just blame it on Sutton.

[scho63]

One play does not a career make- let's see a body of work

[Pitt Gorilla]

Or Sutton is afraid to start rookies for some reason.He wasn't ready early in the season. That seems pretty clear.

[Mecca]

I'm not sure he could have been any worse than Smith was...hey guy follow the RB around in coverage. That doesn't seem to hard to grasp.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

You would make a good coach.

[Simply Red]

You all never mention this - but following or should I say back-tracking on his Clemson career and several interviews, he's very smart - he plays smart by carrying over his smarts to the field. That needs to be recognized.

[Mecca]

You would make a good coach.

As a situational player you'd think you could find a way to use a speedy cover backer when teams get in passing downs.

Sometimes you have to lose some complexity to get talent on the field faster.

These guys come in and play a ton better than who they replaced and it just makes me wonder what the defensive coaches are seeing or is it because they are rookies they aren't going to play them.

If they aren’t putting better players on the field because they are rookies, they need to be ducking fired.

It takes a couple months for the high priced steriods to really do their thing so lots of times it is just one cycle of eating a shit load, juicing to the gills and lifting with a professional coach. Going against grown ass men coming out of college is tough.

I like Date of Death better :D

[carcosa]

I wanna see his body work!!!!!!

I prefer Dick of Doom

Edit: maybe Deliverance of Doom because we are a family friendly organization

Pete?

[staylor26]

This defense could be a little like Dallas and turn around quickly from being a weakness to a strength in a couple of drafts.

[Hammock Parties]

i dunno what bob saw on film but the bengals were coming out in 3 wide singleback, and the chiefs kept coming out with four linebackers with a safety down in the box to help the LBs in coverage....ron parker or lucas basically playing robber, i guess

they dared the bengals to throw it down the field and they only got them once or twice

i think bob got fed up with getting run on when he took a LB off the field.

that's probably not going to work against everyone but it kills two birds with one stone in that no one is running on that look out of 3 wide and you have the safety down there to help out the ILBs in pass coverage

that's the look that parker got his pick out of...it's a damn 2-4-5 but the 5th DB (Parker) is way down in the box so it's pretty strong against the run

https://i.imgur.com/2zAqgIO.gif

the D seems to play pretty well with a lead, it's when teams can relax and make a concerted effort to run the ball that they struggle

andy dalton kinda sucks at reading defenses though so i dunno

[Danguardace]

If it takes longer your foundations are Stronger

[NJChiefsFan]

Plus he can tackle on top of that.

I'm not sure if he has the size yet to be effective on running downs but he absolutely needs to be in their on nickel and dime to cover.

[The Franchise]

They talked about it last night. It was a single high safety and Parker's only job was to float in the middle of the field and read Dalton's eyes.

Exactly what I've been saying for the last month. You draft a guy to be a hybrid LB/S, play the guy when your LB isn't getting it done on pass coverage. Yeah, he's a rookie, big deal, every player in the NFL was a rookie at one time.
