Stats don’t tell the whole story but the tape always does!

Exactly all the hard work that goes unnoticed game time shows on tape! Appreciate the comment!

Definitely agree, In Spags we trust!

At the moment I’d say no, Chenal is still being used mainly in base and not Nickel. Bolton/Tranquil are usually the rotation for Nickel but Bolton had a rough first game and has been injured the last couple years so maybe not a bad stash if you have room on your roster?

Too many questionable performances in my opinion for Purdy especially when he doesn’t have his skill players, the Baltimore is the first thing I think of with Purdy. Definitely an upgrade from Jimmy G but I’d be more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on a Love or Stroud just because I’m going off one year for them, but from technical skill and arm talent it’s hard to argue Purdy over any of those guys, and that can change but feels like Purdy is more of a placeholder than a franchise QB with the most talented roster in the league around him.

Looks like he stutters forward right after setting from the motion, just some timing to be worked out and what the Lions db was pointing at. It’s definitely close but you can’t lunge at the LOS once you’re set, either way small things to work out and what the preseason is for, gotta call the bad with the good!

​@@papaschroI'm telling you he went when the ball snapped. His reaction was just faster than every other player, so it looked like a 'jump'. He hit that acceleration the exact millisecond that ball went into motion. Also, as a motion player, not on the line of scrimmage, the player does not need to be 'set' for the ball to be snapped. So he doesn't have to be fully set.

Yeah it’s right about the same exact time, you can tell it was an accident or he wouldn’t have stopped all his momentum forward right as the ball is snapped. He doesn’t have to be set but the problem is he did set then jolted forward, it was super close but with how rough and inconsistent officiating has been the last few years not something you want to leave up to chance in a big situation so good it happened in the preseason, something to learn from but it helped here the defense was more worried about that than the actual play.

@@papaschro I agree, it could have been cleaner. Could have gone either way. I thought it was false start until I saw the replay.

Thank you! Same here I think Reid is a great leader on the defense, seems like the Chiefs draft so well in the secondary.

@@papaschroYeah, Veach really knows how to scout safeties & CBs. I watched all three games & #21 was flashing all over the place. Even if he wasn’t involved in a play, he was still right there.

I hope Hicks has lots of snaps this Thursday. 😊

I think it was the stutter step towards the line once he got to his position from the motion, just a timing issue. Worthy was ready to turn on the jets 😂

I think it was a tweet I saw but just read he’s projected to be cut lol, toward the end of a pod kind of rambling. You can listen to the whole podcast in the related video!

Rip 😂 gonna be a tough year for Allen

*projected to be cut lol, fatboy.

I remember watching the film of the Chargers/Jags playoff game and a Raider game where Drue picked off Carr and thought he was so underrated before the Chiefs signed him and was hype about that one I totally agree! And yea after watching film for others this offseason I noticed Conner which really made me want to make this breakdown on him but I appreciate the support!!

Facts! Excited to see what he can do this year!

We can dream 😂

I'm excited to see what he can do for the defense in 2024 in an expanded role!

Appreciate it!!

Definitely moving to LT after last year lol

Bahktiari would be a very interesting pick up depending on the money although I would like to see what either Suamataia or Morris could do although I’m nervous about Morris depending on improvements in the offseason/camp, a veteran could definitely help with development tho. On the receiver side after last year I’m almost convinced they can win with anyone out there although depth can’t hurt.

Definitely one of my favorites on the defense right now, excited to see what he will do this upcoming season!

To each their own, personally I’m more of a fan of the state with major cities, professional sports, and people that know how to drive lol

Yea I think you’re right watching that back.

Thanks for the feedback and support!

Thank you! I appreciate the support and feedback! I definitely think Leo takes a big jump this year, and the scary part about the defense they’ve built is having that next man ready to go where McDuffie can replace Sneed and Leo replacing Willie without any major hiccups.

I agree and some what surprised they haven't re-signed Smith, that was my impression that they would at some point this offseason. Jet doesn't get enough credit in my book, one of the best blocking backs in the league in pass protection.

Donovan Smith hasn't been great for a decade. Morris looked terrible last year. The BYU is a long shot. I wish Andy would get the job done for once. We should have already signed Wr Tyler Boyd, he wasn't that expensive. Boyd and Bahktiari would truly make use a 3-Straight threat.

I could kind of see that, really if he can improve his first step and get better footwork I think he has a chance and hopefully just rookie timing. It never felt like he was in sync at any time last year.

The two Raiders games was a tale of two performances for Wanya, week 12 was probably hios best performance of the year and highest grade of 62.8. Then week 16 his worst performance and grade of 43.8. I'm pretty sure he started week 16 though and week 12 he came off the bench when Smith went down, when he started and teams game planned for him he did not play well.

That’s insane, seems like it’s pretty bad for every fanbase. Only way to watch your team is if you live out of their market.

Really appreciate the feedback and support! Definitely took an optimistic view on the film for Wanya, I really like him coming out of OU last year so we’ll see if he can bring his game up to potentially start. It’s all a journey, looking to improve as well so again really appreciate the feedback!

@@papaschro You obviously aren't the only one who saw his potential. And Brett Veach isn't bad company to have. Keep on keepin' on.

Love when he told Patrick Mahomes that "no one will touch you. Not in practice or in a game!"

I'm excited to see what he looks like this preseason! I could definitely see Kingsley taking the starting job and Wanya playing swing this season.

​@@papaschro Now THAT I absolutely agree with. But that's what all the camps and preseason games are for. Very interesting battle there.

I think they're very comparable talents. Morris most likely has the inside track, with NFL experience and his first full offseason. Morris was raw, but it looked like he was holding his own and might even be winning the job, until the concussion. Both young tackles fell out of the 1st round because they were raw coming out, but otherwise checked a lot of boxes. IIRC, Morris was the first OT taken after the 1st round in 2023 draft, after a flurry of OT picks in the 1st. I think the Chiefs were overjoyed that he was still on the board when they took him. Ideally, it will be a fierce competition between two starting-caliber OTs. In a perfect world, they're both pro bowl caliber, and they find a trading partner for Jawaan Taylor after this season. Otherwise, they'd almost have to roll with Taylor until 2026. His contract was signed before the t.v. contract, so his 2025-6 cost might look very reasonable to an OT-needy team, especially if he turns in a good 2024 campaign. He really got picked on last year, and had to adjust to the new interpretation of false-start rules.

Im just hoping that Kingsley ends up being a Beast and takes the job but thats just me

From what I’ve seen I believe everything was dropped on both sides.

I’m going to have to look into these prospects haven’t got super in depth yet but reasonings are all on point the Chiefs definitely need depth on the OL and a LT big time!

What’s the hypothesis?

@papaschro The Patriots were basically on top of the league for 20 years. During that time, they were caught in several cheating scandals. The media was complicit in covering up much of the negativity, and they still gush about how great Bill Belichick is and how great Brady is to this day never bringing up the rules that they bent and broke to get on top. As a football fan living through that time period, it sure felt like a coordinated propaganda campaign from all sides to get the fans to forget about it all. If you didn't know, Robert Kraft, the Patriots owner, was a good friend of Roger Goodell. He was instrumental in getting Goodell promoted to Commissioner. Although there was some punishment meted to Kraft's team, it was hardly strong enough to suit the crimes. If it were stronger, maybe they would have stopped cheating, but they didn't. The analysts in sports media would not talk about it either. Some reporters broke the news, but it was the fans who kept the news alive in hopes that the league would do the right thing. A fair and suitable course of action by the league never really materialized, but the fans never forgot, and even to this day, the Patriots are known for cheating. That is their reputation. Now, the new fans that have come along after the Brady/Belichick era see the established fan reaction to that team and their reputation, and so they conflate success with cheating. They don't realize that it was only that specific team in that specific era that earned that reputation. So now the Chiefs have been the most successful team to come along after the Patriot era. To the new fans, there is no difference between the 2 franchises. Since it is the Chiefs era now, that means that they are cheaters in their view because it's the Chiefs' turn. They have no historical underpinnings to their rationale. Even though the Chiefs have never been busted for anything, they don't understand that it takes proof before fans have the right to demean a team's reputation. Their ignorance is on full display, and they refuse to listen to anyone because in their social world, empirical evidence and facts do not matter. Feelings matter along with being in agreement with the group. So, the Chiefs hate is mostly coming from newer fans who don't have a grasp on history. They mistakenly see a correlation between a bad reputation and success and think that they are just carrying on in a tradition. However, it is all BS. There is another group of fans of other teams who are just jealous and sick of the Chiefs success. They want to see their team or anyone else in the Superbowl besides the Chiefs. The Chiefs have played in 4 of the last 5 Superbowls. I get it.

Appreciate the support! 🤙
