DefensiveMan 758 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Mahomes is the real deal. First team defense played well. Great to see Bailey with a monster tackle in the backfield. Bray has a nice arm, but can't improvise. Kpassagnon, didn't see him do much. I thought King played well in the interior. Hunt, will get his touches I think Reid was sparing him from our horrid 2nd team O-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkie 1,518 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Would have been nice to see some kind of run defense even if it was the first pre-season game. The ran over, around and through us at will. Sucked to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Spiller got 2 carries...big deal. On a night when Alex Smith is the leading rusher for the Chiefs with 10 yards? How can you oossibly expect to see much of Hunt? We couldn't run the ball and they ran all over us. Hard to watch. Mahomes looked pretty decent. Sloppy game that killed any momentum we ever seemed to have. The Chiefs couldn't run the ball because they didn't try. My wish was that they give the ball to Hunt at least four times and see if he can break a tackle or juke around a defender. It wouldn't have been much of a test with third string blocking against backup defenders, but we still could have seen a little. As it was, nothing was gained, both figuratively and literally.

I would suppose that the Chiefs have been able to ascertain Hunt's athleticism in camp, and that they're working on their pass-blocking schemes during the preseason games. The fans wanted to see one thing, but the Chiefs' staff needed to see other things. As long as Conley isn't too badly injured, the Chiefs had a beneficial first preseason game.

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Spiller is going off the radar in these forums. He could very well beat out Hunt and West for the duo with Ware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Looked like they were taking a long look at West. He didn't do much, but there weren't many holes. He and Bray will need to make some plays over the next 3 games to keep there jobs. Pretty cheap shot on Conely for a preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCSLC2008 605 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Pretty cheap shot on Conely for a preseason game. Not that it would be right for a division rival, but we don't even play them and are not in their conference or division and they still hit him cheap. They're trying to make the team, so the lines are blurred a little bit so they will have a bit harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I thought Bray was okay until the pick. Got rattled way too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 the thing that bothered me about Bray was that while Smith ,Mahomes and Stave were looking at their tablets Bray seemed to be disinterested,walked away and had a scowl on his face like he was pissed he wasn't given more Reps..maybe I was reading into his facial expressions too much but I didn't like it.

jetlord 10,209 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Bray & West showed nothing..... w West didn't have any blocking, but he also showed nothing last season. I don't see a place for him on the team unless Ware or Hunt gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,713 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 His lack of mobility is a real issue. Smith and Mahomes can keep plays alive. Bray falls over and can not escape the pass rush. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I heard one of the talking heads repeat Bil's take that Bray is #2 or gone and if he is gone the Chiefs will sign one of the veteran cuts. He said they would not let Mahomes be the number 2 because they didn't want an injury to Smith screwing up Mahomes development. That would not be my approach, but it's not just Bil with that opinion.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 That said, I haven't seen a showing to date that says Bray can be the #2. Although he looked a little better in that game than previous years, but nothing worth putting in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Might as well give Bray chances in the next three games. There's no cut down until after pre-season games are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Bray is a borderline entry level career #3 and Joel Stave has no business being on an NFL field. Not making Mahomes the #2 would be borderline asinine. I'd even go as far as to say that I would just carry 2 QB's on the active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
