So did Sapp come back in or not? :p

I wouldn't go that far. They're not going to risk his status for the rest of the season for one game, especially when that game's only #2 on the season. I would guess that if he has any lingering effects from the concussion at all, that he'll sit for this one.

I hope that's not the case (we're screwed if it is), but that's my guess on how the Chiefs will approach this...

But it would sure be good to have him back there...

I'm thinking the defensive game plan should remain the same - just flatten Collins before he can throw the ball.

Offensively we ride LJ and Priest all day - long drives keep the Raiders O off the field.

Pressure (give me another drink) Collins

It'll be pick city, knock 'em down.

Bell played the entire game..... and played very well!

No word on T-Rich or Simms?

He was only out one play.

If forced to choose between Sims or Surtain, I take Sims for this game as crazy as it sounds.

I don't think there's anyway we contain their WR's. Our best shot is to put Collins on his back early and often, and Sims gives us the best shot to do that.

I bet Roaf plays. Just a gut feeling.

If we can run the ball, we can pass it as well. It will be distributed all over the field.

If we can't run it effectively, then we are hosed on the passing as well. The running IS the key to our offense period. Roaf is a big part of that.

Yeah he did. :D

He will play the first half, by then, we will be able to sit him for the second half. Just like in a preseason game.

I hope. heheh.

Priest needs Roaf more than Larry does. If Roaf can't go, we should pound it between the tackles instead of running those stretch plays...

I don't agree about not being to pass if we can't run. There are quite a few games in recent history where our running game has got basically shut down, and we have gone out and passed for 300+ yards and 30+ points.

Against a team like the Jets or Philadelphia having no Roaf would really hurt because they both have very good pass rushes. Against a team like the Raiders, who has practically no pass rush, we should be fine with Sampson and Black. We might end up playing mostly two TE formations with Dunn helping out our tackles, but Gonzo, Kennison, Parker, and company could still carve up their secondary.
