They had the 17th ranked run D last season. Have they added anyone?
Changed anything? Were their players young, and maybe progressing? Tell me what'cha know. Clayton Please don't respond. No Offense, but I don't need any slanted info.

Their major addition is Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator. His defense is always good for the first year wherever he goes.

They lost Curtis Loften, MLB, and he was good.

They signed Lofa Tatupu, MLB, and he is already out for the year.

They have a second year MLB, Akeem Dent, starting but he got hurt and had a concussion in the first game. Now they have ancient Mike Peterson at MLB.

In other words, MLB is a mess.

Thei defensive tackles are nothing special. Their safeties aren't to good (Decoud and Chris Hope).

Weatherspoon is pretty good at OLB. Nicholas is below average.

They traded for Samuel so they are loaded at CB and will play in the nickel most of the time. Samuel, Grimes, and Robinson is going to be hard on us. We will have to run the ball well to win.

Abraham and Edwards are decent at DE. They have Jerry (former first rounder) and Babineaux (?) at DT. Pretty average at DT.

I think their run defense will be suspect.

I think we will beat them. Their offense worries me a little but, then I think about Sam Baker going against Tamba and Matt Ryan's first game in Arrowhead. Remember Vick's first game in Arrowhead? We won 56-10 and it was the last time Atlanta came to KC. They have never won at Arrowhead. It's going to be tough on Ryan.

As much as Gunther sucked....he had a great gameplan for Vick that day.

That was a fun game to go to.....8 rushing TD's. That is a record that may never happen again.

Wow.


Should I list the other QBs drafted 5th or later?

Do you have time?

Best team my ass.

They won't come close to 03.

If they get EXTREMELY lucky they may be close to the 05 team.

(I've been here since '02, BTW)

Don't be fooled too much Dane. We will be a damned good all around football team with out major weakness at QB, but the Cardinals look like hell.

He beats good teams less than 20 percent of the time.

You are 100% right man. This is his biggest flaw. We have to play with the lead going into the 4th quarter. We have to get way ahead of people just like Green Bay does. I am not saying he is anywhere near Rodgers talent level but we have to play like they do. I did some research on Rogers in the past and check this out.

Rodgers is....

4-17 when losing by 7 or less or tied going into the 4th quarter

10-7 when winning by 7 or less going into the 4th quarter

3-12 when losing going into the 4th quarter

3-2 when tied going into the 4th quarter

0-5 in overtime

The point is that he can sling it around and put up the biggest numbers in the planet but if you put him in a pressure situation where he has to do it in the 4th quarter, more than likely he will fail. It's the way we beat Green Bay last year. He even gets nervous when he is winning and within seven points in the 4th quarter. They never trailed going into the 4th quarter once when they won the Superbowl.

Cassel is the same way. We need to score and get way ahead like Green Bay does. We can't play Marty Ball with Cassel as our QB. We need to get the lead and hold on with our defense. This is the recipe for KC.

This place has become completely overrun by stupidity.
