Posting this as a repository for random training camp content. Glad to see Andy moving around today without the cane.

Yeah but more than one twitter rando is saying it.

I sincerely hope it isn't the same as Thomas, just saying that would be bad.


Also CEH is like 80% less bitchy asshole than Thomas which certainly helps.

Never too early to panic.

I say just rest CEH until he’s 100%. The postseason is what matters most. The Chiefs are in no danger of missing it.

Also, the gap between the Chiefs and the AFC is greater than we (or any other fan base) realizes. There still are zero teams in the AFC that can match QB, HC, and overall roster talent. No one in the AFC does anything at such a high level that the Chiefs can’t contend.

I would like to mention that this Gore dude looked impressive behind the #4 oline. He demonstrated good vision.

Of course, the Deadbirds had scrubs on the field, too.

Nevertheless, perhaps he needs more carries?

Gotta be honest. If Josh Allen improved with a full offseason, and worked on the issues he struggles with, they’re our biggest and closest competitors. And I think it’s closer than we think. They have an offense that has the ability to keep up with us, and if their coach pulls a rabbit out of his ass then he could out coach Andy (as we just saw Arians do in the SB). Hopefully our defense takes a step forward and our offense doesn’t have any significant injuries.

I'm hoping we can get a pick for him and Shane B. Probably won't though.

I think you could make an argument that Creed Humphrey is our best OL at this point and that is amazing.

I still have no clue how this guy fell as far as he did. He should have been a top 35 pick

Not unless their rookie DE's are both studs. They don't have enough defense.

A healthy Cleveland is a better roster, in my opinion. And they're still not in KC's league barring major injuries.

Cleveland’s pass rush is atrociously bad and their secondary is pretty average.

They ranked in 20’s in pressure percentage last year and their talent along the DL is worse this year. They have zero pass rush outside of Garrett.

Buffalo’s complete lack of a running game at all played well into our hands last year. Spags eats that shit up. It’s more about being able to keep us honest on defense and not just ignore the run than it is about Josh Allen.

I think you can realistically expect a step back statistically from Allen this year too.

And as someone else said, that defense was never even close to slowing us down last year. It’s going to take a phenomenal offseason for that to have changed.

Might take even more than that. They couldn't stop the Chiefs last year because they couldn't get pressure on Mahomes and this was with an average to poor O-Line. How are they going to do it now that the line has been rebuilt and looking better than ever?

Allegretti, Remmers, and Kilgore ****ing gashed them.

What will Trey Smith, Lucas Niang, and Creed Humphrey do?

That gap is too large to close in one offseason, especially when the Chiefs got better as well.

^ **** the Bills!

I think some of you are going to be mighty disappointed on the day of cuts when Daurice Fountain isn't on the 53 man roster for Week 1.

I know I've talked about him getting cut a bunch. I legit don't hate the guy. I wish him well. I wish he'd make the team and be ****ing butt ass awesome out of nowhere so we'd have a legit #2 WR to pair opposite Tyreek.

All I'm doing is putting my chips on the table saying he's going to get cut. It's a prediction, not a wish. Why is that my prediction? History. History says Fountain is getting the ax. Maybe he'll survive waivers, wind up on our practice squad, and get called up during the season. But for Week 1? I think he's a cut.
