dksww 484 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Very encouraging effort out of the defense. To go from being flat awful to totally shutting down a good offensive team is so so good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Look at the QBs we've played. Rivers, Ben, Garop, Brady, Dalton. They will get better with time especially of we get players back healthy. Speaks getting valuable experience in place of Houston. Blessing in disguise. Berry hiding waiting in the wings.

dksww 484 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Bob Sutton never took his foot off the gas tonight which was the most exciting thing from tonight's defensive performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 For all of you football experts did our approach change? Because tonight looked different. We were aggressive it seems instead of reluctant and tentative. Did Sutton do what he did last year and simplify some things to allow guys to play more down hill? Also the pass rush was getting a pretty good push all night Speaks looked good, Ford is making Veach's life a living hell, and Chris Jones is a beast. Scandrick has gotten better and better and we have found some legit depth with Jordan Lucas when Berry and Sorenson get back. Bob should be ashamed about not playing Odaniels more. Kid has some spunk and fire. We shut down a very very potent offense with some elite playmakers at every skill position tonight. Super pumped with the win tonight!

dksww 484 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 O'Daniel ended up with 4 tackles in a brief amount of time. The Coaches have to see this and get him on the field going forward. I'm starting to wonder if the Chiefs' defense sand bagged the first 6 games with all the injuries and unknowns about the young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pretty much nailed it on the head. Everything seems to have came together tonight on defense and it can only get better when Berry, Houston and Sorenson come back.

dksww 484 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 the defense only gave up 231 yards and I want to add the offense did a great job of going on long drives to keep them rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy seems to be working Kareem Hunt in the offense more effectively. Wonder how defenses are playing our offense now as well? Are they covering deeper to protect against those fast easy scores? Funny that, that might actually play better into our hands. It seems like the only time we don't score is if make a mistake. Its gotten to the point I think we will score a TD every time we touch the ball and get a little disappointed when we don't lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,613 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think it was a new defense th aw t qere needing time to get They did not get to do so in preseason Think about it, both ILB were hampered with injuries and did not play much The safety position was all new without Sorensen and Berry and the fact we have used pretty much rookies there since. The CB positions were new. Scandrick was picked up last pre season game and Fuller was in a new position outside and also ti the defense. All that we had solid was d line and Nnadi was new to that too. Throw in the fact of killer early schedule and seeing HOF type QBs and you get what we had.

jetlord 10,210 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 1. Ragland looked faster tonight both in run defense and in chasing down Dalton 2 The Chiefs may have something in Lucas, Speaks, and O'Daniel. Can't wait for Berry and Watts next season. 3. The defense certainly played off the fervent Arrowhead crowd. Hard not to be fired up there. 4. Give Sutton credit for having the right scheme in against an above average offense. Of course, it didn't hurt that the Chiefs had the lead. 5. This is probably the worst and most banged up defense the Chiefs will play this season. Glad they took advantage. 6. IF, a big if, Berry and Houston return and can play up to their history, the Chiefs will be the team no other coach wants to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Its unrealistic to expect this every week but if we can be more like this we have a legit shot at a SB this year and every year moving forward if Pat is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs won't go up against the Bengals' defense every week, but their offense can score on anyone. Who does the opposing DC focus on in game prep? Conley, Robinson, and Harris got into the act and Ware is a threat. Most fun watching a KC team since the 2015 Royals. Great to have a team to root for that actually seems to be having fun and winning at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,426 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I was as shocked as anyone at how the defense stepped up against the Bengals. But I have to remind myself of a couple of things. Chiefs play better at Arrowhead. The thing that will get the defense some love on a national level is consistency. This effort was not just an improvement...it was amazing. But pundits will pawn it off more about it being an off night for the Bengals offense as opposed to our defense stepping up. The remedy is to replicate it again next week against Denver and beyond.

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The thing about it is the Chiefs actually have a fairly decent pass-rush. They've played some pretty solid lines this year and feasted on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can stop them, it will be an easy win. If they struggle it will be tight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that the tackling is about 500% better. They are wrapping up guys, playing with aggression. That is making the young guys have some costly penalties, but not that many considering. nelson was good and getting better. I really do like the steady improvement of nelson. Scandrick is much better on the outside than in the slot. I like how they are using him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much faster. Hard hitter. I think the Chiefs already are the team no other coach wants to face. Getting a lead early is huge for the defense.
