Philip Gaines Review
On my phone so somebody else can post the story.
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/9...source=twitter This guy looked really good last weekend. It really shows just how big of a loss he was last year and how much faith Dorsey had in this guy to replace Sean Smith. Hope he keeps it up. |

Also, the offensive game plan was pure dogshit.
Last year, the Chiefs had success scheming away from Watt. Clowney's definitely improved but IMO, they just allowed Watt to disrupt them way too often. Why in the ****ing world are the Chiefs carrying 4 TE's if they're not going to use a 3 TE formation? Harris next to Schwartz would have helped considerably. |

I haven't seen Alex that off since the Titans game several years ago....and Maclin didn't look like he had his head in the game at all. Where was his normal, chirpy, shit talking self? Overall we had too many mental mistakes. Combine that with the Texans playing sound defense and the result is what we saw yesterday.

Although I have to admit, if they play well at Arrowhead but stumble in Pittsburgh and Oakland, there will be legitimate questions about their road preparedness. |

A couple of quick observations. 1. It doesn't look like Gaines trusts that knee completely yet, he didn't make the quick cuts that we saw him make before the injury. 2. Maclin missed practice on thursday for personal reasons and goes out sunday and has his worst game as a Chief. Was his head somwhere else?

As for Gaines, he looked pretty good in coverage. As stated, the play shouldn't have ended up in just his hands. It did however, and as also already stated, he has to make that play. A great defense makes that play, not matter who really should have been there. The game was on the offense, but a great defense gives the offense another mulligan by making that play. Gaines does need to improve his tackling, and I don't see why he can't or won't get a little better. Guy is still growing as a player. |

Nobody said his tackling doesn't matter. Nobody said he's elite at it. But if that's what you're going to hang up on, you're going to run out of time to get pissed at everything on this team. Because again, a CB's tackling is on par with a WRs blocking. What if Gaines doesn't fix his shit? What if the best he ever becomes is a good cover man and a willing, if poor, tackler? Because do you get the impression that he's shying away from contact? I've never seen that. Mostly he's just a slight guy who's going to be giving up size to just about anyone he's facing.

Really?
Gaines is now to blame for other people out of position. Derp

Coming out of a timeout, your signalcaller, heart of the D, Mr. Tackle, is asleep at the wheel, fails to mark his man, and not even aware Houston's about to quick snap and hit the hot read on the crucial 3rd down of the game that was hanging in the balance of them potentially mounting a comeback in a game they had no business even being within 1 score to knot it up all even, and if so would have robbed all the momentum. Simple. ****ing. numbers.

Be it known that I did not watch the Houston game. I was up in the wilderness camping.
That said I DID watch the Raiders / Saints game. Kevin Kietzman and Soren Petro both went off on the Chiefs letting Sean Smith go and keeping Berry. Welp. The Chiefs were right. Again. |

Gaines only has a handful of starts under his belt. He's shown a lot more positive than negative and will hopefully continue to get even better. Overall the corners looking very promising. Just need to remember they are very young and inexperienced at this point. Having very little pass rush right now is putting a lot on their shoulders.
