Practice Squad
Very nice site you guys have here! Just wanted to drop in and say howdy. Your team is certainly tearing it up this year -- That must feel good. Chiefs fans are feeling less, umm, ebullient about our boys but, hey! There's always hope for the future.
It's no secret that we have the WORST D in the NFL right now, especially the DB's. You guys have prob. heard that our CBs are banged up, but truthfully, they weren't setting the world on fire when healthy. Crockett's old, and has been relegated to nickle; Warfield was over-hyped and lacks self-confidence, IMO; 1st year starter William Bartee is not coming along as fast as some expected him Expect the Phins WR corps to feast Sunday. Fiedler as well, might very well have a career day.
Our run D is less of a debacle, though. They held Fred Taylor pretty well except for 1 stat-skewing 60+ yd run late in the game. This week, of course, will be the test against Ricky -- gonna be interesting to see what schemes the D will have to counter the #1 RB in the league. Conversely, I'll be watching what the 'Phins D throws at Priest. Don't under estimate this guy, Miami fans! Holmes has been the focus of our opposition now since the middle of last year but has yet to be contained. I really thought NE had the best chance of shutting him down and was shocked, frankly, at the outcome.
Anyways, I won't insult you by comparing QBs. Suffice it to say Tr-INT Green is taking the heat in KC right now. And deservedly so. I expect he'll throw no less than 2 INTs vs Miami's ball-hawking D. I would say more, but believe Vermeil's putting the short leash on his errant boy-wonder from here on out.
As far our receivers go, Kinnison (to our suprise) has been the main man. Gonzales suffered from a wrist injury last week but should be back to form Sun. Biggest dissapointment for us has been Johnny Morton. Went out and got him in FA, he wins the #1 WR position in camp and when regular season starts--he disappears! Well, maybe they'll throw to him Sunday. He was a solid WR who made some spectacular catches for the Lions--this guys too good to go to waste.
Lastly, Chiefs interior D Line is finally starting to get some penetration thruogh the O Line, largely due to rookie DT Ryan Sims. Sims is coming along after missing camp & the entire pre-season :fire: I hate holdouts! Especially rookie holdouts!
Also the O Line is all we could ask for. It was already pretty good last year and with the addition of Willie Roaf, it's probably one of the top 4 or 5 in the league right now.
Well, I'm hoping for the upset victory vs the 'Phins (of course). Needless to say, the team could use it. So could the fan base Saw someone on this forum refer to the 'Arrowhead advantage', sadly with a couple bad years for the Chiefs, that advantage is not what it once was. I no longer feel opposing teams dread playing at KC and the crowd doesn't seem to be as crazy-loud either. This proud tradition must be returned ASAP!
Well, good luck (tho not too good) to your guys and here's to a tough, injury-free game! BTW, if you'd like to check out a good troll-free KC fan forum, feel free to visit www.chiefsplanet.com and give us your thoughts, opinions, smaque, etc...
