Chiefs Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta. - Page 12

Our D might well end up a good one as the season progresses. But I'm very very worried about the first game. Not just to lose, but to lose discouragingly big.

1- Our DL while solid has not shown signs of wreaking havoc in the opponents' backfield. Yes I'm told that's the style of 34 Romeo plays. But wait....

2- Without Tamba Hali Ryan will have all day to throw, especially considering point 1.

3- The thought of Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Gonzo, against our depleted secondary stresses me to almost puking.

This is gonna be one of those games when we see passes completed against our D with scary consistency. The only way we have any chance to win this is if we can manage long time consuming run heavy drives that would keep the Atlanta O on the bench for the majority of the game. Maybe that's why Daboll was emphasizing the run in the last preseason game so much.

Tell me something hopeful.

Julio on the other hand...

Sounds like you are waiting for HIS balls to drop

many on here we're calling him a bust before his breakout aka when Jared Allen left and we switched to a 34. In fact there are threads people bump that joke about this today.

Just a few years ago we were the worst pass rushing team in the NFL in terms of sack output and people have been crying for years that Tamba needs more pass rush help on this team. I agree Justin Houston provides that. But Justin Houston by himself as the only pass rush threat doesn't do us any favors.

8 sacks in his rookie season is not good?

It's gonna be a group effort in making Ryan uncomfortable.

while i don't disagree ...

who is going to cover anyone?

Even if Flowers does play, who is going to cover the 3rd wideout?

let's just say that Flowers and Routt can hold their own against White and Jones. Which guy are you going to have cover the 3 wide receiver?

Arenas is very limited about what type of receiver he can cover. The guy can't be too big or too fast.

Jalil Brown is stank ass
Jacques Reeves is even worse than stank ass
Travis Daniels is meh

who's going to cover Tony G?

apparently berry is going to play like a linebacker
Elam?
Lewis(even if he plays he can't cover worth a shit)
Hartman?

i still think we are going to struggle to cover tightends this year.

teams are going to do to us what teams did to the Steelers a few years back. Just go to a multiple receiver set, spread the defense and abuse the 3rd/4th corner.

Haha SEE? Even falcon fans know we have the better qb

Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta.

Because Ray Lewis plays for Baltimore?

Since when did Arenas become this limited defender?

IMO he has done quite well covering slot receivers since day one.

I have little worries about him covering Harry Douglas.
