Niswanger’s outlook improves

The outlook for center Rudy Niswanger, who left Sunday’s game with a left knee injury, had Haley “encouraged,” the coach said.

“He’s a tough guy,” Haley said, “so I wouldn’t put it past him to find a way back sooner rather than later.”

Haley said Monday that Niswanger suffered a “significant” injury and indicated that it could threaten the lineman’s season. But the coach said Tuesday that Niswanger “definitely” would play again in 2009 and that “you might see him again in two weeks” against

Why?

They're playing him in run support, instead of playing him deeper like we were.

Amazing what happens when you put players in a position to succeed and play to their strengths.

gore it was his first game back from injury and only 13 carries
hightower has rushed for over 50 yards only once this year
benson is the only one that was far off but he only had 16 carries in the game

Make all the excuses you like, but they've gone from giving up close to 5 yards per carry before Pollard, to just under 2.8 per carry with him in the lineup.

That's impressive.

It can be expected when you change the scheme just two weeks before the season starts.

WRONG.

He had two very good preseason games this year and that's what all this was founded on.

The coaching staff refuses to put him on the field for god knows what reason.

And saying he sucked in practice is complete poppycock. No one knows how any player performs in practice.

The Chiefs are 1-6 and have two slow safeties that are big liabilities. Morgan deserves a chance just to see what he can do.

Do you think he's not making the routine catches because he's worried that if he ****s up....he's going to get demoted again?

I remember last year when you let me borrow some game film for the videos I was making. Morgan played a bit in the Saints game and flashed as well.

OK. Whatever.

If the Chiefs dropped their opponents YPC by 2 yards in 3 games, you'd be screaming "PROGRESS!!!" at the top of your lungs.

It's funny how if a team other than the Chiefs improve statistically, people say "eh, that's bullshit, look a little further, etc.".

Yet if the Chiefs jump one spot from 31st to 30th, everyone say "Yeah! See! I told you! We ARE improving!!!!!!"

So are you stating that when the Chiefs have improved statistically in the rankings that I've blown them off? That's false. I incorrectly looked at our Special Teams ranking yesterday and admitted I was wrong and that they have improved dramatically over last year.

I don't pretend to be infallible with my predictions and statements.

no dane i'm not saying that. the 31-30 is a little silly IMo though, not many here would scream progress at that. some here would take those same stats if they were ours and say thats not progress those teams didnt run the ball against us. see what i'm saying?
