Chiefs PFF Grades the Chiefs, Week 15 AKA OMG B-RICH - Page 2

Hammock Parties · 12-20-2011, 03:50 PM

1. YES!! HE DID IT! BARRY RICHARDSON GOT A POSITIVE GRADE!!!! (2.0) It's his first grade in the green (above 1.0) since last season. Our entire line allowed ZERO pressures, ZERO sacks and ZERO hits. Ryan Lilja also played his best game of the year. Cue twilight zone music.

2. Kyle Orton got a 3.7. That's higher than any Cassel grade this year. Cassel had one game better than a 3.7 last season. It was also Orton's highest grade...ever.

3. Baldwin only played 21 snaps in this game. Odd.

4. Our DL was MIA this game, but the LBs showed up. Houston racked up 4 QB pressures. DJ picked up a 2.6 with most of it coming in pass coverage. Tamba raped with a 4.9 and 6 QB pressures. Allen Bailey picked up a 2.5 and has had 3 terrific games in 5 weeks.

5. Carr and Flowers were AMAZING this game. They were thrown at 9 times for a yardage total of 22 yards. On the downside, Arenas and Daniels got roasted for 176 yards, although much of this was in garbage-ish time.

6. A few interesting notes: Asamoah is one of the best pass blocking guards in the league. LeRon Mclain is near the bottom in run blocking. Albert moves into 5th for pass blocking among left tackles, and the Chiefs vault up to 5th in pass blocking efficiency as a unit. Justin Houston has graded in the green 4 of the last 6 games.

I'll post the official recap when it's available.

Am I misremembering things, or was Bowe on the bench for most of the first series?

He had a family issue and didn't go through proper procedure for missing a meeting (or being late to one). It was a disciplinary thing.

Bailey. I caught part of the game on Replay last night. Not sure if they'll re-run it.

DJ getting a BJ

http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog...f-perspective/

Derrick Johnson, ILB, KC

The level of play at inside linebacker this season at the very top has been simply astonishing with no less than five players putting in performances to a level that would be worthy of All-Pro consideration. While the likes of Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Brian Cushing, and Ray Lewis have put in those displays on playoff-bound teams, Derrick Johnson is not getting the same recognition playing for the underachieving Chiefs. His every-down play shedding blocks in the running game is as good as any of the other four in this group and his ability in coverage is strong as well, allowing only 68.9% of passes his way to be completed. However, for Johnson it’s the marquee plays and what he has meant to the Chiefs in key situations that establish him just that half step above the others who are playing so well this season. Plays such as his series in Oakland in Week 7: at a crucial juncture of the game, Johnson made all four stops on a goal-line stand inside the Kansas City 5-yard-line to keep the Raiders out of the end zone and off of the scoreboard. It’s for his down-to-down consistency and his ability to carry the Chiefs’ defense in critical spots that Derrick Johnson is the one player from a group of five exceptional inside linebackers who merits the Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Inside Linebackers

Derrick Johnson (KC) and Brian Cushing (HOU)

In the wreck which is the Chiefs season, one thing stands out; the performance of Derrick Johnson. A long time ago in a season far, far away (2009 actually) a very silly coach benched the Mr. Johnson for what appeared to be the heinous crime of being the second best player on the team. Well now he’s the best; a guy who can meet fullbacks head on or tracks speedy halfbacks to the sideline and the aforementioned coach is out of a job. What goes around comes around I guess, which is a tenuous segue into the defensive rookie of the year in 2009, who tanked in 2010 and has come back better than ever this year. Like Johnson, Cushing excels in all parts of the game including coverage and pass rushing.

Dont know why benching DJ should be viewed as a bad thing, its what spurred him to finally put it all together.
