To me, it seems as if the ball comes off Coppers hands and hits either a shoulderpad or maybe even his own helmet and thats was deflects it a full 5 yards backwards.

Actually watch frame by frame of the replay from behind the play. At first I thought Johnson had his arm around Coppers waist, which is PI, but he actually has Coppers left elbow it seems, pinning his left arm to his body. If he doesn't get his arm around Copper, he'd never be able to put himself into position to bat the ball.

Why dont you shut the hell up and go see your boyfriend.

Is there a reason you're posting gifs on AP and not on here GoChiefs?

Jeff Fisher dick sucking. I think the most repeated quote every preseason in local booths is after the home team struggles and they give the old "well how many years in a row did the Colts not win a preseason game?"

Allen Bailey has been terrible. I watched him quite a bit. He has definately hit the sophmore slump and it seems like his motor is gone. Maybe last year went to his head? Let's hope he gets it together.

**** it.

GIF'D UP: Dontari Poe vs Rams

http://cdn1.sbnation.com/profile_ima...9/woo_tiny.jpg by Clay Wendler on Aug 21, 2012 7:13 PM CDT

So our defense pretty much got handled by the St. Louis Rams last Saturday, but there's something positive to focus on with Dontari Poe. Most notably, his pass rush.

Poe played a lot against St. Louis. He was in the game early in the first quarter and was still playing into the fourth quarter. He got plenty of chances to make something happen, and he did just that on several snaps. I thought there was a clear difference in Poe from his first pro game to his second pro game, so that's encouraging.
Hit the jump to see the GIFs of Dontari Poe blasting off the line and into the backfield, scaring quarterbacks.

This play comes early in the first quarter on the Rams' second drive. It's third down and Poe is involved in a stunt with Tamba Hali. No sack, but he gets good pressure and forces a bit of an awkward throw from Sam Bradford, who he then lays a nice hit on. Result of the play was a third-down stop, and on the next snap St. Louis scored on fourth down.

Later in the game against the St. Louis second string, Poe picks up a definite tipped pass. No doubt this week (unlike last week where it was questionable). Stanford Routt almost picked this pass off.

Here's a nice example of Poe's quickness on another stunt. He gets into the backfield really fast on this snap and comes really close to getting a sack...twice. You'll also notice his pressure makes Kellen Clemens pull the ball down when he could have thrown it to the RB.

Here's the play in real time so you can see how fast Poe got into the backfield. Scary.

Let's take a look at Poe vs the run. This play doesn't seem like much, especially because the RB is headed for a giant hole. But Poe does a nice job holding the point and trying to get off his block. He makes the RB change direction, and had Brandon Bair not been held on this play it would have been stuffed. Since Bair did indeed draw a holding call on this, this was a positive play.

OK, this would make any quarterback soil himself. Poe destroys the middle of St. Louis' pass protection on this play and he's headed for a sure sack/QB mauling if Brandon Siler doesn't have an unblocked shot instead. Love seeing this.

Oh, that's fun.

GIF'D UP will be back tomorrow with some offensive GIFs, and we'll read 400 comments about Matt Cassel.

Geez, look how much different he is when he's not trolling.

The last gif is the best.

Shane Bannon is terrible. Last year, he couldn't get to his block fast enough. This year it's the same thing. I don't care if he's smart. He sucks balls.

Lilja is still the weak spot on the o-line. The jail break always starts with Lilja. Allen needs to start.

Routt was not good. He was picked on a bit and should have been called for pass interference.

Boss should start over Moeaki. Tony is not a good blocker and isn't getting open. He should be the #2 TE in my opinion.

Pitoitua got a long look with the first team and he played poorly. Harvey Dahl and the back up center just whipped his ass. Toribido hardly played.

I thought Jalil Brown had a very good game. He should start over Routt. Routt should start in the nickel. He has played there for most of his career.

I think we will sign one of the Rams FBs. We have already had Mughelli in for a visit and they won't keep two of them. Brit Miller is also very good but they will probably keep him. Daboll needs a blocking FB to run his offense and we don't have one.

Cassel looked great. He got rid of the ball and made great reads. Had a great 3rd down pass to McCluster.

Boss looked really good and will make an impact.

Poe looked excellent. He was the best d-linemen in the first half.

Asamoah dominated at RG. He and Winston just plow the road. They are really nasty together.

I thought the Rams opened their playbook and the Chiefs were very vanilla. We never rushed more than five and played three basic defenses the entire first half. This is why you saw Belcher cover the TE etc.

I'm not worried.

Say whatever you want, but I watched Moeaki during his entire rookie year, and the guy was DOMINANT as a run-blocker. One lousy preseason game isn't changing that in my view. Not that Boss won't be productive in 2 TE sets, which the league is turning into.

If both TE's can block and catch then you really do have one of the most powerful formations in your favor. The QB can change the play to either side of the field without having to motion or do anything to give it away to defense and allowing them to adjust except who may have to move off the LoS and in this case it could be a WR.

BlackBob is a ****ing moron....JFC.

Totally.

Its rare to see that much consistent fail from one poster.

The guy has got to be trolling with a lot of his comments....or he is one of the dumbest posters on CP.

Dontari was a lot better this game. Hopefully we'll see more improvement this week.
