Alex Smith's Accuracy Sparks Chiefs Practice

aaKansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith wowed the crowd with pinpoint throws

Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith didn't care that the skies were again overcast during practice on Monday; likely because his accurate throws would've outshined the sun, had it made an appearance.

Smith was on-point, nearly perfect, unofficially completing 17 of 20 passes for three TDs during the roughly two-and-a-half hour practice.

"It’s a reflection of the group,” Smith said. “O-line was great today; it starts with them. They did a good job communicating, especially in the blitz period, third down, everybody was on the same page and then there were guys making plays outside. We got off to a good start but really, I think the spark came from the guys up-front."

Among the many pass-catchers Smith connected with on Monday, Chiefs TE Anthony Fasano continues to play at a very-high level. Smith threw to Fasano three-straight times, late in practice, including one TD.

"He's such a dependable guy, so reliable," Smith said of Fasano. "He has such a great knowledge of the game, a great feel for it, defenses and how they’re playing him and he uses his body so well. He continues to make tough catches. He’s what you’re looking for in a TE, that reliable guy that continues to be open, time after time."

Another of Smith's targets was Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe, whose best catch on Monday was a one-handed grab in 7-on-7s.

"That’s just him making me look good," Smith said. "There’s not much to it. I threw it up there and let him do the rest."

Bowe described the play from a different perspective.

"No, man," Bowe said of Smith's pass. "He put the ball right on the outside; he saw the inside leverage, and our job is to catch the ball; it happened to be a one-handed catch, but it was a great pass by Alex."



Bowe also shared how he's feeling just days away from the team's first preseason game of the year.

"I’m feeling good,” Bowe said. "We’re going against the best every day at practice, so when we get to the games, we will be ready."

Following Smith, Chiefs QB Chase Daniel stepped in Monday and continues to move the ball effectively, highlighted by his completion to a determined Chiefs TE Tony Moeaki on a third-down play in the red zone.

"Chase did a great job of getting the ball out quick," Moeaki said. "I was just trying to get the ball vertical and it was a third-down play, so getting the first down in the red zone, that’s huge. We as a TE group feel that’s where our number should be called; we’re just trying to help the team score."

Later in 11-on-11s, Chiefs QB Ricky Stanzi closed out the drill with a beauty of a throw for a TD to Chiefs rookie WR Frankie Hammond Jr.

"It was a great throw by Ricky,” Hammond Jr. said. "I kind of pinned the guy inside and he just made a great throw and I went up and got it."

Like the other Chiefs rookies, Hammond Jr. is ready and waiting for his opportunity to shine on Friday night.

"Definitely,” Hammond Jr said. "It’s just ‘lay it out all on the table’; you’ll only get so many opportunities in these preseason games, so when we get out there, we have to make the most of them and go out there and play hard."

The team played hard yet again today, which caught the eye of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

"Good work today," coach Reid said.

"This is our fifth day in a row of full contact and going. This is our longest stretch; we’ll have another day tomorrow. So, the guys pushed through a big red zone day today, big 3RD-and-long day today. I thought they traded back and forth, challenging each other and working hard.”



Part of the hard work paid off for the defense in 11-on-11s, when Chiefs DB Otha Foster III was in the right place at the right time for his pick-six INT.

"I was playing free," Foster III said. "The guy dragged across and the QB threw it to him, bounced off his shoulder and landed in my hands. We were going full contact, all the way, tackling to the ground and that’s why I ran it all the way back."

Foster hopes to carry the defensive momentum with him into Friday's road game against the Saints.

"I feel good about that because it’s close to my hometown in Louisiana," he said. "I’m going to have a lot of family there and they love the Saints, except when I’m playing; they’ll be on my side (on) Friday.”

The Chiefs return to the practice field tomorrow, before a day off on Wednesday, travel day to New Orleans on Thursday and then, the real fun begins Friday night at 7:00 PM CDT, from the Mercedes-Benz

Dunta Robinson gave up 835 goddamn yards last year. Only 4 guys allowed more.

The season before he was DEAD LAST in yards per reception allowed (17.5).

He's SHIT.

I had given this regime a free pass on this signing because I thought he was going to play FS.

Instead he's going to play the same position he's sucked ass at for two years.

Well his 13-3, 6-2 seasons have proven them wrong again. These same people used to call Alex a bust because his "hands were too small." These are the same people that said 49ers defense was the only reason they beat NO in the playoffs, even though they gave up 460+ yards and 4td's. Pretty comical things these idiots used to come up with to hate the guy. Just shows the brain capacity of certain "fans".

One of the greatest things was thinking a 5th round pick in Nate Davis was the savior of the team(Tyler Bray). Threads on threads on how amazing that guy was going to be. Pretty sure he has never even played a meaningful snap to this day. Anybody but Alex even when they were winning games.

I've said lots and lots of positive stuff about Alex, but when I say he struggles for a few plays, some here act like I am insulting a family member of theirs.

Sorry, but this team won 2 games last year and until they start showing that things are turning around significantly, there is nothing wrong with being in wait and see mode where we don't believe this is a playoff team until they can beat good teams in real games on Sunday's.
Boss, while I agree with you, let's be real here. This isn't an argument about whether the Chiefs make the playoffs or not. Let's be clear about the hidden agenda. The naysayers are the ones who believe the Chiefs are going to miss the playoffs badly.

I don't know how people argue about schedules every year. Not once have they ever turned out like we thought they would. There are always surprise teams and teams that fall off the map.

We're not going to put 11 pro bowlers on the field.
Lewis is one of the worst tacklers in the whole league and is just a guy in coverage.

Robinson is shit.

I think 6-10 wins is realistic. If I had a gun to my head and had to pick a number, I'd probably go with 7.

If we lose a few major players at spots we are thin, I can see maybe only winning 5, but that would take a lot.

If we stay healthy and get a few bounces to go our way, I can see us maybe pushing our wins to 11.

This is a tough schedule this year, IMO. I know, you will disagree.
The Jags, Raiders and Chargers are awful. The Browns, Eagles and Bills aren't good teams, either. The Titans aren't even average and they're very beatable.

In the first nine games, I see the Chiefs losing to or having difficulty with the Cowboys, Giants and Texans. The other six are very winnable games.

In the final seven games, the Chiefs have Denver and San Diego twice and Oakland on the road. I can see them splitting with the Broncos and losing to the Redskins and Colts.

IF the players and coaches meet expectations, winning 10 games is very doable, IMO. Beating a bunch of inferior teams while losing to superior teams won't likely make for a playoff run but it beats the hell out of 2-14.

Tony Romo is a playmaking QB.

Last time we lost to the Cowboys, it was because of him.

Last time Alex Smith played Tony Romo, guess who won?

Tony Romo.

This team will lose to the Dallas Cowboys.

And it will be for one reason.

Tony Romo.

So all the bad teams from last year will stay bad except the Chiefs?

Got it.
