View Full Version : Chiefs What will you be watching for during the first preseason game?

First and foremost - I think we can agree, NO INJURIES.

On offense:

I think we pretty well know what we're getting with the first team, minus the offensive line. I'd like to see how they play in the series or two they get.

Beyond that, it's all about the depth at every position. How do the rookies look? Is Pringle the next coming of Bobby Sippio?

On defense:

My eyes will be glued on the LBs. The fact that Ragland is slated to start at MLB is not good. I hope someone flashes and takes his spot.

The CB position will have my attention as well. Please don't let Breeland be David Amerson 2.0.

The D line depth will also have my eye. I want to see those 2nd team guys dominate. It'd be nice to see something from K-Pass and Speaks.

Anyway, what will you be watching for?

Oh and of course the no look left handed behind the back 80 yard bomb Mahomes will throw to Hill.

Tremon Smith and Hardman

Smith is intriguing. Hardman as well. I'd like to see what Hardman can get done vs the second team guys.

Carlos Hyde too. I feel like he's gonna suck ass. But we'll see.

I'll be watching the LBs as well. Surely someone can step up and put Ragland on the bench/on a Greyhound bus out of town.
I doubt most of the 1s will play much, so my other focus will be on the 2nd/3rd stringers in the secondary. I know CB depth is a concern for a lot of people, but I can't help but wonder if a lot failure from last year was due to horrid S play.

Linebackers (Mostly Lee and O’Daniel-their speed is intriguing)

Hardman and the 2nd round safety who's name escapes me at the moment. I'll be listening to the game via Mitch & smart phone as I simply can't commit 2 hours of non-productivity to a preseason game let alone the first preseason game and catch up to anything that stood out on Chiefs sites.

I remember last year in the first preseason game, the OL looked fucking horrendous. I was genuinely worried that Mahomes was going to be buttfucked.

I’m not really concerned offensively regardless of the results—just stay healthy(!!!)

My eyes are locked on defense—all levels. I want to see if the LBs are playing faster and which corners can stick on receivers with some consistency or at least win some contested catch situations.

Wilson8
08-05-2019, 05:08 PM
What I want to see from preseason games.

1. Keeping everybody healthy.
2. Backup TEs – Deon Yelder, Blake Bell, and John Lovett. I think at the end of preseason, we only keep 1 guy.
3. The play of Mark Fields, Herb Miller, D’Montre Wade, and Rashad Fenton. Who’s going to develop and become our 4th and 5th CBs?
4. What does Tremon Smith look like as a RB?
5. The play of Cody Thompson, Byron Pringle, Mecole Hardman, and Marcus Kemp at WR.
6. Looking at some of our backup OL to see who might be Practice Squad possibilities.

Don’t really care about in the first pre season game. Everything will be basic. For the fun of I’d say Tremon smith but I’m not sure how much he plays so I’ll say the running backs and obviously the corners but I’m not getting to down or up about anything after this one.

Kpass' progression or if it's sauteed bullshit

He actually showed promise last year. Just wasn’t used enough or correctly. Would not surprised at all to see him look good in Spags defense. Speaks on the other hand doesn’t seem to have a natural position in any defense. Chiefs spent a 4 on Ragland coming off acl. If they could get a 5-6th for speaks I’d take it. I got respect for any front office that doesn’t keep a guy around just pick of draft position. Unless he can play inside on pass rush and shows more than one move then please try to get a pick and give a roster spot to one the young kids. Sorry went off on a little side rant there.

The offense is going to be the offense, and even if they somehow don't play all that well in the first preseason game, I won't be worried.

I want to see how the front-7 performs against both the run and the pass, though for the first game I'll be happy if we just show a marked improvement against the run.

I also want to see how, if at all, the pass D plays differently than last year. Both individually and as a unit in scheme.

Overall, the important thing defensively (for me) is how they play as a unit. Last year they never looked like a cohesive unit to me; just eleven guys running around completely independently of each other most of the time. I want to see them play as a team, trusting each other and filling in for each other both pre-snap and during the play. I know they won't be able to show that consistently throughout the game, but I want to see more than a few flashes.

tmax63
08-05-2019, 07:45 PM
I want to see the defense as a group. I know it will take time to develop chemistry but I want to see how they react with a brand new scheme. Is there a shitload of mistakes, have they learned their new responsibilities, etc. I also want to watch the 2nd string o-line to see how they hold up and as a whole how does the Chiefs 2's and 3's hold their own against their 2's and 3's.

A solid first drive by the offense.
Mecole Hardman.
Juan Thornhill.
Byron Pringle.

Most importantly, I'd like to see what kind of vibe I'm getting from the defense. (Yes, I know it's preseason game #1, but I'd like to see some stark improvement regardless of the stakes. I remember most, if not all of us, were in a pessimistic state after the third preseason game vs Chicago a year ago.)
