IMO it's going to be a rough start for the D as they have been riddled with injuries. Luckily non serious but Spags mentioned that the has not yet decided on who the other starting CB will be from the article it would appear the D will have to gell during regular season. I expect arough first few games defensively. I think you're right and it will be mid season before the defense figures it out. I also don't think it will matter as Andy now has an LT (assuming he continues to improve) and a legitimate field stretcher. I think as soon as Hollywood gets back this offense is gonna cause problems for people. Maybe sooner, depending on health in Week 1. Worthy looks good to go and he's gonna scare the shit out of some DC's. Worthy is gonna drag multiple defenders deep as soon as he starts making some deep catches. That's gonna leave a lot of room for Kelce and Rice, and eventually Hollywood on those intermediate routes. Told y'all it was Worthy or bust in the draft and you're gonna see why now. Before with Reek, Pat never wanted to take the underneath options. Now he's spent 2 years learning to take what the defense gives him. It's gonna get vicious when the offense gets it figured out.

Popular Post reesebobby 5,661 Posted August 22 Popular Post Share Posted August 22 12-5 Travis slide continues but playoff Travis returns and proposes to Taylor immediately following the Super Bowl win over the Cowboys Worthy 725 yards 6 touchdowns Pat 4400 Yards 36 TDs 11 INT and 15 cringy State Farm commercials. Feeling slighted by the NFL's failure to suspend him, Rice forces their hand by going on a killing spree. Jones 11 sacks. Karlaftis 15. FAU 2 sacks and bust talks gain momentum. Reid passes Belichick for the most playoff games coached and passes Madden for most cheeseburgers eaten by a modern era NFL coach.

I expect arough first few games defensively. They'll still be good. Maybe not as good, but certainly capable of stopping drives, especially if they have the lead and Spags can go into Spags-mode. Impossible to replace Sneed, but our coaches have done some damned fine work with our secondary over the years. Watson is serviceable heck he might even be an above average CB now that he'll be playing more. Chenal and Tranquill might not be as gifted in coverage as Gay but they're damned good and know Spags' scheme. We need Omenihu back as soon as possible. With him, we have one of the best and one of the DEEPEST defensive lines in the NFL. The key will be our ability to score early and disrupt opposing teams' offensive gameplans. We should have the ability to do that with our WR and TE corps. Burpo The Mad Clown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to get him back for Cincy. If he heals as fast as Tyreek he could be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have the ability to do that with our WR and TE corps. If the Chiefs get healthy, especially Hollywood and Omenihu, they will have the best team on paper that they have ever had. They won on Reids planning and Mahomes will power but now there's real top talented players and several positions, more than any other team. Gay will be missed on some of his spectacular plays, but he got lost too many times. Sneed won't be replaced, but the Chiefs have good talent opposite McDuffy and with Reid back, they are loaded at safety. Much better WRs. Only downside is if Kelce slows at his age but with Worthy taking the top off and Wiley working his way in, Kelce can be just as efficient even if he gets fewer snaps. Life is good in the Kingdom.

I mean we had no WRs the first 7 games really as Rice was a rookie stull learning. Now we have a Worthy, still learning but much more impactful. Rice has looked great and Kelce who has had a good camp and is healthy to start the season. 3rd receiver then is still better than our WR1 last year as it looks now.

West 6,713 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I think after last year, the Chiefs in the Playoffs are a very different animal. Mahomes, Kelce, Jones and Pacheco just flat out exert their will when the game is on the line. My comment to all my Niners Buddies prior to the Super Bowl: The Niners have the better overall team, but KC has Pat Mahomes....I will take KC 9 out of ten times to find a way to WIN at crunch time.
