And if we and SF make it all we will hear about is how hard it is to tackle Kittle

I did too and i cant find where it was said

Dont tackle high. I saw them try all game to tackle high. Even then when they went low they missed some horribly or tried to arm tackle. Just need to break him down and use sound tackling techniques.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28515259/chiefs-frank-clark-says-sees-no-difficulty-tackling-derrick-henry Honestly it should not be that bad. He is a lighter version of a TE. Just need to fill the gaps and not let him get a full head of steam.

I want us to take it. Get the first score and hype up the defense off what we just did. Then the defense gets a huge stop and we go score again. I want Titans in a whole 14 to 0 asap and go from there.

No thanks to NE taping them and cheating.

DT Chris Jones is officially questionable to play in Sunday's AFC championship game on the Chiefs' final injury report of the week. He has a calf strain, Backup RB LeSean McCoy and backup QB Matt Moore are also questionable. They were sick this week and returned to practice only on Friday. Adam Teicher, ESPN Staff Writer28m ago

https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/15/kansas-city-chiefs-tennessee-titans-afc-championship-game-how-to-stop-rb-derrick-henry/ The Kansas City Chiefs have a difficult task at hand as the Tennessee Titans make their way into Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC Championship Game. Titans RB Derrick Henry has amassed 377 yards and a rushing touchdown on 64 carries in the past two weeks. The Titans have taken out the New England Patriots and the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens during that span. Now, Henry has his sights aimed at doing the same to the Chiefs’ defense. When Kansas City traveled to Tennessee in Week 10, Henry rushed for 188 yards and two scores. The Titans ultimately won that game 35-32. So how do the Chiefs’ defenders plan on combating Henry this time around? According to defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, it all starts with having the right mentality. “…I think (Derrick) Henry put together a great season,” Mathieu said. “He’s done a lot of things for his team and they’re really leaning on him. I think the mentality is that somebody is going to have to stop him. Somebody is going to have to make a tackle on him if we want to get to Miami. So it’s one goal, one objective to win the game. In order to do that we know that we’ve got to slow down No. 22.” If the players remember what’s at stake, they might be able to make that special play that slows Henry down. Knowing that he’s one of the things that stands between them and the Lamar Hunt Trophy and a trip to Miami for the Super Bowl, that can be a powerful motivator. An area where Mathieu believes the Chiefs need to improve is how they handle Henry late in the game. While the defense wears as the game goes on, Henry and his play snowballs and gets stronger, according to Mathieu. “He’s a great back and it’s hard to keep those guys bottled up all game,” Mathieu said. “I think the key is that we’ve got to finish the game strong. If you watch a lot of Derrick Henry, he gets stronger as the game goes on. His first halves, they aren’t that great, but second-half football he takes off. So we’ve got to be well-rested and hydrated in order to kind of finish the game and really compete against him and slow him down when it matters the most in the fourth quarter… I remember last time we played them there were nine minutes on the clock. They were down by nine and they kept feeding him the ball. So you know that they believe in him.” The defense held Henry to 45 yards during the first half in Week 10. That means most of his yardage came in the second half, including a breakaway touchdown run. Having a better defensive rotation and fewer injuries should help Kansas City finish the game stronger. Part of Henry’s strength is also drawn from the Titans offensive line. It’s mostly a veteran group and they’re playing physical and sound football right now. “They’re so big upfront,” Mathieu said of the Titans offensive line. “I think their offensive line is really underrated. They’re mean and nasty. They believe in themselves. The play together and I think ultimately they believe in the guy behind them…” Linebacker Anthony Hitchens will be tasked with getting the defense set and ready to stop Henry. Hitchens is looking for the Chiefs’ defenders to rally to the football. The more people hitting Henry and wrapping him up, the easier it’ll be to bring him down. “It’s going to take a lot of us hitting and tackling him,” Hitchens said. “More than one guy. He’s a big guy, strong and physical with all the tools. That’s why he’s running wild right now. It’s going to take all of us hitting him and wrapping him up and trying to get him down.” There’s a certain way you have to tackle a player like Henry, though. If you aim too high, it’s like trying to tackle a tree, and he’ll get those extra yards after contact. The Chiefs will be aiming for a different part of Henry when they go to make a tackle. “You’ve got to just take his legs out,” Hitchens said. “We’ve talked all week about killing the engine. Hit him in his thighs and his legs, chop them down. When you tackle him high he tends to carry you for about 4-5 more yards. Hit him low, all legal within the game, but you’ve got to just hit him lower.” Ultimately, the Chiefs defense is playing with a lot of confidence right now. According to Hitchens, if they all get their details down, they’ll be able to bottle up a weapon like Henry for a full four quarters of football. “Our team has grown so much since then,” Hitchens said. “We’ve been the top defense the past 6-7 weeks. We’ve been focusing on our details. One guy can miss an assignment or a gap and you can get gashed. Just like when we played them last time. You hold him pretty good for three and a half quarters and then he busts a 70-yard run on us. Trying not to let that happen again and play four quarters of great defense and I think we’ll be alright.”

Tackle him. That will stop him lol sarcasm

DEPENDS on how you read it I guess......

Need this from our C and RG too. 3 #Chiefs offensive linemen put on a show on Sunday LG Stefen Wisniewski • 79.5 Overall • 78.2 Run Block LT Eric Fisher • 78.9 Overall • 90.3 Run Block RT Mitchell Schwartz • 74.6 Overall • 82.1 Pass Block https://t.co/MwJHzSB3OP #ChiefsKingdom

Be prepared for zone coverages. Take the underneath routes and rule the TOP. Big thing to be done is score TDs and not go for 6 FGs we did the first time. Get a big lead playing like this and they will have to play catch up and abandon the run. Get up by 3 or 4 scores and they cant take the time to grind out runs if we keep pressure in them and the clock moving when we have the ball.

Stop the run.... why not have Pennel and Nnadi in the middle and put Jones and Clark at DE? Move jones inside to replace Pennel and add Suggs at DE in passing downs. That is if Jones is good to go.

Snip snip took care of that years ago

I am going to wear the same shirts, hat and sweatpants, all chiefs, that i wore this last game. Not even washing it too. It is ready to go for Sunday

Really, do you think all the fans in there dont believe they have jinxed the teams in some way? I bet almost all believe they jinxed our first ever AFC championship game last year if they were in attendance and will be again Sunday. I have been to one game myself and believed if we lost I may not have to come back, but it was a win against Luck and the Colts last year to get us to the AFC Championship. Best time of my life, cant wait to get back. If the team and ownership felt fans attending the game was a jinx, they would shut the damn doors and not have a home field advantage! Enjoy it, I am jealous being so far from the game in Texas.

Yeah. Still the best pick of the top 10 we got that year. Just a shitty time to have the 1st pick.

This is the true hero https://dailysnark.com/chiefs-fan-who-says-hes-bad-luck-leaves-stadium-after-1st-quarter-chiefs-score-41-unanswered/

There was a thread about the NE loss and quotes on it how dumb and entitled their fans are for booing them etc. Same thing here but we dont have 6 SB rings, yet, and still playing the best stretch any of us have ever seen. Imagine when some of these fans get that entitlement feeling.....

They also made sure he was isolated against the LB. Houston kept in man to man and paid the price. I bet Titans play zone coverage and try to limit this thing from happening to them. Then again, we have killed zone coverages this year too taking what is given to us.

I said this before in this thread and it still stands. Also said I loved the Clark signing and he will bring it on. Veach has done very well and we have yet to see this off season/draft yet plus FA period. I would like to see Allen Lazard sign with us. He is young and will come cheap. Thing is he is 6'5" and 227 pounds. He would be that tall good target needed for Mahomes opposite of Hill. He ran a 4.5 with 38 inch vert. If Hardman does take a bit longer, having Lazard, Hill and Kelce in there would help tremendously. This is a type of signing Veach would do.

Fair weather fans. I alwaya watch the whole game and always will.

17 legit points against our defense. They did phenomenal

Budweiser found the guy and they are going to give him beers and other things.
