Teicher: Chiefs’ offense looks sloppy in practice
Chiefs’ offense looks sloppy in practice
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star Between numerous dropped passes and false-start penalties, the offense had a sloppy workout as the Chiefs began their third straight week of full-squad practice. Jon Baldwin, Devon Wylie, Jamaal Charles, Frankie Hammond, Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris were among the players who dropped at least one pass. Coach Andy Reid at one point stopped practice to get after the offensive players for their sloppiness. His dropped pass aside, Harris had his best practice since joining the Chiefs as an undrafted free-agent tight end last month. A basketball player in college at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Harris hadn’t played football since high school in Arkansas. Harris got off to a slow start when practice started, but he is now showing the athletic ability that led Chiefs general manager John Dorsey to pursue him. Harris made the play of the practice when he leaped over two defenders to catch a pass from Ricky Stanzi deep down the field. “This was the day I just went out there and let everything out of my head,’’ Harris said. “In the beginning, I was thinking too much. The coaches and the other players were always telling me that if I messed up, just keep going full speed. That’s what I’ve been doing, and I think I’ve been improving every day. I want the coaches to keep depending on me.’’ Dexter McCluster, who injured his hamstring last week, did not practice. |

The difference is, here we won't have the #1 defense to bail Alex out.

Shrugs. You, nor I, know that. The defense will be much improved. Can we at least agree on that?

No. We're installing a new scheme with virtually no DL talent. We're probably going to be in the bottom 1/3 in rush D again simply because of that.

The defense should be monster. The problem is, if the same dynamic continues, though at a higher level, where the offense does nothing to capitalize on the defense's work, we're in for the same ol' shit.

We will see. Avoiding turnovers, and causing turnovers, and winning the field position battles will dictate a lot about how this season is going to go. This offense is not going to be a top flight offense with Alex Smith as the qb. I though agree with you on the defense, and completely disagree on all facets with Clay about the defense. DeVito is going to be a huge upgrade towards the run defense. Poe will play better because he will receiver better coaching. I think people are going to be very surprised at how well the Chiefs play.

Devito is not going to be a huge upgrade. Glenn Dorsey has been one of the best 3-4 DEs against the run for 3 seasons now. Maybe DeVito is 10 percent better, at best. He's certainly NOT a pass rusher of any sort.
We basically stood pat at that position. Poe is an unknown. Jackson has been a horrible, horrible player 3 of his 4 seasons. We have jack and shit on the DL and anyone arguing otherwise is just a dumbass homer.

We're going to be attacking. We need guys who can get up the field, who aren't ****ing slobs like Tyson Jackson.

Really? Up the field huh? I figured back-pedaling linemen was the strategy. If it isn't, the Chiefs have been doing shit wrong for quite a while. Pioli really took note of Tyson Jackson back-pedaling the 40 in 4.1 seconds.
