sith13 1,746 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Defense looked much better than I expected. This was supposed to be a game but they didn't allow the Bengals to get any breathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's interesting how injuries allow young guys to emerge and get better. We always say, OMG, after a injury to a key guy, but with a good GM drafting and with depth, we find all kinds of new gems who have been lying in wait.

If they can stop them, it will be an easy win. If they struggle it will be tight again. Denver is totally opposite when playing away from home. They do not play well on the road and no tougher place to play than in Arrowhead. Plus when they had us before Mahomes learned and continues to learn as defenses throw anything and everything at him to stop him. Try the same scheme they did before and watch him light it up.

hankstromboli 25 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 My big concern is the run defense. They looked dramatically better last night. If we can keep that up, we're good and will go deep into the playoffs. If our run d is ineffective, that's how teams can beat us. Run the ball and keep our d tired and our offense off the field.

Agree. That's why I'm so hoping that Ragland's better game last night wasn't a one time thing or just an illusion. If he plays like he did at the end of last season, the run D will be less the liability. Something I missed last night was how the NT position was divided. Who played most and who was most effective? X. Williams or Nnadi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankstromboli 25 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wish I could tell you who played better but didn't notice. I did see tackling was vastly better - no arm tackles. Chiefs got a ton of penetration from their d line. Ragland looked great - attacked down field all night. Also hitchens was trucking people too. it was almost like watching a different team.

Me like everyone else has been begging for DOD. I just hate that it takes an injury to get these young guys on the field. It not for Murray or Terrance Smith or last year with Spencer Ware, we don't get a chance to see the young guys. I really hate that about Reid/Sutton. I also want to see Tremon Smith at CB. I wonder if he can play better than Nelson on the outside. Nelson, is always holding and grabbing because he get's beat all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 BJ KisselVerified account @ChiefsReporter #Bengals WR AJ Green said after the game that the #Chiefs' defense did a lot of stuff on Sunday night that they hadn't yet seen on film, specifically a lot of "two-man" and "bailing" at the line of scrimmage.

soonerborn77 276 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Good to see the old man adjust, hoping Reid lighting him up after the Pats game inspired him or even better maybe he got some help finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I hope this wasn't a mirage on D but am worried it was. O'Daniel looked pretty dang good though so that was encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think they had a chip on their shoulders after the NE loss. Everyone stepped it up and it wasn’t scheme. D line, ILB, CB all seemed to play fast and aggressive. Are they as good as yesterday suggests, no. Does this inspire them to believe in them selves more and react faster? Definitely. I think we saw them turn a corner and start demanding some respect. Just watching Hitch and Rags. Lucas and Nelson. The attitude was great. The D line, just no quit. They have a chance to be much better. Loved that O’Daniel flew around like he did. What is he? 220? Reckless abandon taking advantage of his chance. Good for him. great day for all those guys.

Steven Nelson, Kansas City Chiefs– 92.6 Nelson delivered on a big night for the Chiefs, allowing just two receptions for 33 yards from six targets and 34 snaps in coverage. He also forced two incompletions with pass breakups, finishing the game having allowed a passer rating of 52.8. Nelson has steadily improved his grade is now the 21st ranked cornerback in the NFL.

Yeah hes been solid. Rather him be a 3rd or 4th corner, but it is what it is. He's a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The only thing that worries me was the comment by AJ Green. They prepared for one thing and were thrown off at first by our D and then found themselves in a hole. I guess its possible that can continue to work but more than likely teams will now be prepared for both scenarios and how to better attack that. Only time will tell and I hope with time our D will continue to get better and gel and be tougher come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a contract year for him which is always a boost but has been good over the last couple years WHEN HEALTHY. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a nice deal in FA. We generally overlook but currently Fuller is the only CB under contract for 2019 that is not a late round rookie, the position is a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s gotta keep mixing it up and help the undertalented defense more rather than expose it more with predictabability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Leads are the reason the run defense looks a little better. Forcing teams out of a ball control approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
