****Seahawks @ Chiefs Preseason GDT****

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

So many players to finally see in action.

No injuries and a Chiefs victory would be swell.

I think Ford has a LONG way to go, but I'm not panicking about the season.

I wouldn't have an issue if he had said that.

It was good to knock some rust off and get out there and fly around."

Holy shit you guys are blowing every little thing this guy does/says out or proportion. Nothing wrong with that quote.

If this is rust then he's been "rusty" on run defense ever since he got here. The Seahawks didn't put much effort into gameplanning. I would hate to see what would happen if a team did.

DJ White
Cairo Santos
The third-string DL

Guys who hurt themselves:

Steven Nelson
Malcolm Jackson
Pretty much all of the receivers other than Maclin.
Mitch Morse (what was up with those bad snaps?)

Not much has been said of Pughsley but he played most of his time at LT with the 2's in the game (if not all of it?) He wasn't too bad. He gave up a pressure for near sack to Marsh I know, but I think he's a depth lock they are giving work at multiple spots.

In Tamba's interviews it sounds like he lacks the ethic. Of course I think most would lack when being compared to T.
