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?"

Cassel on Stanzi’s Performance

Crennel is yet to declare a definitive No. 2 quarterback behind Matt Cassel, but the Chiefs starting quarterback gave his two cents regarding Ricky Stanzi’s outing Saturday night in St. Louis.

Stanzi completed three of his four pass attempts, but was picked off once and lost a fumble while taking a sack. He was sacked a total of four times and the Chiefs netted just 14 yards during his four offensive possessions.

Cassel took the first five offensive drives against the Rams and Brady Quinn replaced Stanzi in the fourth quarter to command the Chiefs final two possessions.

“When you go and watch the film it’s not always as bad as it seems,” Cassel said. “I thought Ricky went out there and he competed. Sometimes as a quarterback things don’t go as planned, but the thing I like about Ricky is that he always bounces back. Even after the interception, or if something bad happens, he comes back and says, ‘okay, what’s next.’

“You’ve got to have that kind of demeanor and I love that about Ricky. He’s ready to come back and ready to get back to work this week. He’s not hanging his head or anything like that and that’s part of playing the quarterback position. You have to take the good with the bad.”

He knows the longer we keep him around the less competition there will be for his job.

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

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.

GIF'D UP: Dontari Poe vs Rams

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.






And speaking of enormous Kansas City Chiefs doin' work...








Oh, that's fun.


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

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.

[Strongside]

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