You and me both.

As soon as I heard about Mauga's injury I was certain someone was going to take that job by the throat. Mauga's not a guy that should ultimately be difficult to displace.

But I'll be damned if so far nobody's managed to do it. And after the reports on the secondary and Hill and Parker and Bray and the ILBs....I'm convinced that it was ALL bullshit at this point.

Let's get this show on the road. Even Andy doesn't give a shit about the pre-season right now and I'm not convinced we've received a shred of relevant information over the last month. Let's go play ball...

so bad!

60 yard interceptions are pretty nice.

Is it your expectation that an inside LBer should be housing 70 yard TDs?

Because that's a pretty unreasonable expectation.

Again, the guy isn't playing DJ's role here; he's Joe Mays. He's Mike Vrable. He's Bart Scott.

I don't think holding him to the standard of guys that don't play the same role as him is remotely fair. As far as ILBs go, he's no worse than an average Ted-type backer.

This is the play that I remember people on here talking about how slow he is. It could have been even before this. He has a 10 yard start and still gets caught from behind.

Scott had slowed down a lot by then, yes. But he was never a burner and he got caught by a glorified T who ran him down in 20 yards after being flat-footed. I could've outrun Bart Scott there.

My point is that Scott is an example of a truly truly slow player at that point in his career and there's a big difference between what he did and what happened to Mauga.

Mauga got tracked down 60+ yards later by a guy that runs a 4.5 - shit happens. He's not a track star and he's damn sure not conditioned for 70 yard bursts. But he's a plenty capable athlete for an interior linebacker.

Again, you'd like to upgrade on him, but he's competent. He's probably the least athletic option we have, sure, but he's also the only one that's demonstrated the ability to start for good defense and not be a liability (at least not when he's in the proper role alongside DJ rather than in lieu of him).

I didn't know that because I haven't payed much attention to that. I've only watched games and just started to read articles. Didn't feel like following TC so much this season. So that makes sense then. Thanks

The douche on 810 says the Royals are more popular than the Chiefs.

True?

No worries

Some of you ****ers want to go back to the Jovan Belcher days it seems.

We've got speed in these ILBs. If Dorsey truly wanted these guys to be run stuffers, he would have found/drafted bigger players.

Mauga is the one who calls the plays on defense and everyone from DJ to Sutton praise him for how well he executes his role. He may not be the Kuechly-level player all you are wanting, but he's an average, satisfactory ILB who's salary is among the lowest of starters on our defense.

Not everyone can be elite, and he's not a bad "weakest link" when you compare it to other teams across the league.

Jets worry me a little. Part of it is hearing it from my friends and students if the Chiefs actually lose, but I worry when KC plays teams that are built and play just like they do.

Faulk is one of the worst football analysts I have ever heard, ever. He is unbelievably bad on NFLN. Even during the KC game he said of the players ejected in the fight, "don't fight in a preseason game, do that in a regular season game." Getting kicked out of a regular season game is a good idea is it?

Why the hell is Bray not playing when he is healthy?
