Pennel back to KC

Awesome! He's a big piece of the puzzle.

I still think back to that Titan's game and wonder who the **** made the call to sit him.

They wanted that other DT (Ivey iirc) to play because of his pass rush potential in a game against a mostly running attack.

After that game, they were straight fire, though.

Spags gets a pass.

Is that the official statement from one of the coaches, or just speculation?

Pennel was signed only 2 weeks prior and played against Minnesota. The Chiefs have a pretty conservative approach when it comes to player health. Maybe the dude was just not ready, physically, to play two games in a row since he was signed off the street in week 8 or 9.

Pennel has played every game since. A rather large stretch that one week couldn't be handled by Pennel but no problem since then.

I think I remember Spags saying in a Presser after the game that he thought they would pass a lot so Spags didn't think we would need Pennel.

Spags said as much in an interview after the game. Iirc it was Monday or Tuesday and not right after the game.
