News Defense for the win

**the Talking Can** · 10-31-2010, 05:48 PM

Chiefs D held a hot offense to 10 points through 5 full quarters. An offense that had dropped 30 on the pats and ravens.

They gave up a lot of 3rd down conversions, but no crushing big plays (though spiller was open for a td late in the game after smoking dj, overthrown luckily). And dj dropped 2 ints, one of which was a pick 6. Should have been even more dominate a performance.

Most notable was the fact we had guys making game changing plays at every level of the D.

The whole DL really. Until Bills went to quick hitting passes, our dl was mauling the bills OL. Dorsey is a man: he just owns his side of the field. Totally dominate against the run, and he chases plays.

Hali: Prison rape...the only accurate description of what Hali did to the Bills RT. Hali is relentless, and powerful. He sent the RT back several yards with just a pop at the snap...several times. And he made plays at key moments. And he gets held without punishment. Dude is waaay better than anyone imagined, regardless of the fact that everyone on the planet now claims they knew he was an all pro 3-4 OLB two years ago.....yeah.....right...posers

Flowers: In spite of getting caught a couple times late, he was stellar again. Hits hard and without fear. Has perfect technique on coverage. Plays physical coverage. Plays with a swagger. And caused a fumble which would have won us the game but for the bad luck of vrable being out of bounds.

Berry: In spite of being compared to Jackson by board idiots, he lead the team in tackles with 7, had a crucial late int (his second game in a row with an int). And his tackles were huge...twice he stone cold stopped players short of a first down. Like Flowers, he plays fearless, hits hard, has a swagger. Has more to learn, but was a crucial part of a top notch defensive effort against a solid passing offense.

I haven't even mentioned Belcher, who is just like a mob enforcer...quiet, remorseless, harmful..or good plays by stude, gilberry, vrabel, etc.

Our best players are young and ascending. Love watching this defense.....(still need a nt and a heart transplant for jackson though)

Derrick Johnson is starting to piss me off. Catch the ****ing football when it comes your way damn it!

He must of had 3 or 4 dropped int's this year alone. The guy has hands of stone.

That's why he is on defense.

No shit. He could have picked off several but he is a ****ing LB and he is playing well. Best season so far by a mile.

I agree but the the one's he dropped today were tough catches. You have to remember as a defender your 1st job is not to catch the ball. Meaning when the ball gets on you it's usually a surprise to a point and you are reacting.

I know, several people have been up his ass all day but the fact was; he was where he was supposed to be. They'e just going to have to let him heal up and get over it.

Thats why he's a LB and not a TE.

Mama Hip Rockets · 10-31-2010, 05:55 PM

Defense was awesome on 1st and 2nd down. They've gotta start playing on third down too, though.

**Ming the Merciless** · 10-31-2010, 05:57 PM

**** Yes!

win baby

I am loving the possibilities with Romeo's 3-4

Ihope this feeling of confidence in the D lasts years.

Gracie Dean · 10-31-2010, 05:57 PM

no kidding. If we had a QB we would be a kick ass team

Let's focus on the positive, and right now, the defense for this team is playing as well as anyone could hope for.

TC is right, this defense is full of young, ascending players who will only get better.

Marcellus · 10-31-2010, 05:57 PM

They put up 500 on Baltimore. We gave up more running yards than normal but not surprised since I am guessing they were trying to stop the pass.

All in all an ugly win over a desperate team and only gave up 10 points.
