Chiefs Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta. - Page 4

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.

Preseason doesn't count, we were holding back for the regular season...Yes I know it's lame and highly unlikely but there is hope.

it's gonna be that or a two yard dumpoffs.
there's NO WAY Daboll will let Matt attempt a throw 15 yards deep vs this secondary.

Look at the bright side, you won't have to watch Michael Turner dragging the entire Chiefs defense 10 yards a pop

They've been working on a screen pass game, this Chiefs defense isn't good with that. They have a good RB in Jaquizz Rodgers that likes to catch out the backfield and he can go.

They'll use that short game to get the long passing game going or visa versa.

Here's a lil blurb on the Falcons pre season;

Don't think so, these falcon teams are just as stacked on offense and Ryan is 0-3 in the postseason

Well, the Chiefs are a playoff caliber team, I guess. So, maybe they have a chance.

Two players I think will be pivital in this game -- Matt Cassel & Dontari Poe.

If those two get going, the Chiefs have a chance.

Jamaal & Hillis will have some success, but in order for the Chiefs to win I believe they need to score twice or more in the air and sack Matt Ryan 3 times. Poe may not get a sack, but if he can pressure from that RDE position Houston could get it done.

We ran the ball well with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings.

So, I expect us to run the ball well. So well, Hillis is my #2 RB in one league.

If we don't go to almost exclusively runs, Daboll should be fired on the spot.

Thanks a lot, Frankie. You kill babies too, don't you?

DJ and Flowers will certainly help. Given their latest performances though (if you take much stock into preseason), I don't see how anyone can have confidence in this team suddenly flicking a switch and sticking with the Falcons.

Romeo is hoping DJ and Flowers will be ready for Week 1. Can't say for sure, still waiting for practice. Lewis unlikely to be ready Week 1.

Lewis unlikely to play however...

I'm good with Elam for a few weeks max...
