Chiefmanzada 466 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ramik Wilson looked good and got bigger IMO. Looks much stronger out there and will most likely start w/ DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Me too. Agree with you Zads, good call on Ramik. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil 243 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yep, I loved the way Ramik completely destroyed the FB on a goal line run, killing the play. Rush was impressive as well. 49er announcers were saying how he was a stud in preseason last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 A couple end of the roster guy I liked was the Okine kid at OLB and Lampkin at corner. I agree Ramik looked good. Looks bigger and stronger and moved well still. Not a lot of talk about Witzmann but I thought he looked good too. I think it might be time to cut West and Mauga. Both looked real bad.

West 6,713 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 That's the cool part, they very well could get cut. Also, the dude from Seattle we traded our Pro Bowl special teamer for, blocked the punt. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is coming back and the first team didn't look all that bad. 2. Hill will open up the field for Conley, Robinson, and Wilson. With Kelce back, I'm not worried about the receivers all that much. 3. Not sure DAT has a role. If Hunt replaces Knile as kick returner and one of the WRs return punts, why DAT? 4. Not worried about Peters if he can keep his emotions in check. Who plays the other side is the big question. 5. Bailey looks good. DJ will be good while healthy. How long will he stay healthy?

I thought he was very solid. He started off pretty strongly, yes you are correct. He had some issues before he was done for the night. Seems like he wore down quickly? Still better than Fulton.

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 How about our defense?! Stacked at every level, especially the D line. Idk who those Thomas and King players are but damn they make big players look smallish. The return of Bailey surely lightened that line. Who says the Chiefs haven't heard us complain about the run defense. They stacked the D and Chris Jones is back on the practice field. BTW, Houston looks stronger. watch out teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I saw good things and bad things. Sample size is small to assign permanent status on which rookie or UFA is going to be a stud and who is not. Even vet players have bad games. Is it impossible to believe rookies can have a bad series then? Or a bad half? In their very first NFL experience at that? I'll let the process play out through the preseason. I've learned my lesson with guys like Kris Wilson and Jonathan Baldwin. Not gonna hype anyone until they show consistent playmaking ability. one preseason game is not enough to do that.

Vonschnitz 130 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Ramik Wilson looked good and got bigger IMO. Looks much stronger out there and will most likely start w/ DJ. I've liked Ramik Wilson for a long time. Two years ago, I noticed how he has great vision and quickness. I kept noticing how he would shoot through small openings in the O-line and and catch runners during pre-season games. Linebackers take a few years and always get bigger and stronger. I'll take the speed and vision over any other quality in a LB when they are rookies. I think Wilson has made it now and is ready to start alongside DJ.

DJ & Bailey seem to be making progress Others? w Agree with all those things, except not sure about #3. There must be something about him that Reid likes, but he has only disappointed me up to now, and he should have reached his peak. He just doesn't accelerate quickly enough. Though he broke one last year, he just does not generally seem to have the vision and burst. I guess options are short since HIll is going to be the #1 WR. One thing that impressed me Friday night was Kareem Hunt's run blocking on ST. Maybe that will help DAT enough to make him at least average.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Loved Hunt's athleticism. He played really good on ST. KPL was really good also. I think they trade may turn out to be a steal. Oline has a long way to go. Bailey is back. Wilson is improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonschnitz 130 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That Marcus Rush may beat out Ford if it comes to that.. I don't know. For Ford it only comes down to how quickly he can adjust to do it from the ROLB spot. We have seen what he can do from the left when Houston was out. It is harder to go up against most teams' LOT.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Rush just might. It is getting crowded over there with no clear starter. More rushing reps from Kpass and Rush would be great. More ILB reps for Okine and KPL. DJ is recovering and Mitchel looks ready to go. No need to play them much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oline has a long way to go. Bailey is back. Wilson is improved. What's wrong with the O-line? I thought the first team looked pretty solid. When the second/third stringers came in is when they started looking bad. If Engler gets back, I think the line will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More ILB reps for Okine and KPL. DJ is recovering and Mitchel looks ready to go. No need to play them much. Kpassagnon, is getting more and more reps at OLB. That just may be his nitch. At practice today he consistently ran down wheel routes against skill players. The guy has length and will only get better in pass coverage per 'Father Time' Bob Sutton.
