Chiefs release updated Depth Chart ahead of MNF 9/28
Don't think it's official yet, but it looks like Ward might play:

Here's to hoping the Chiefs organization isn't anything like the Pats.

The other thing I realized was that Spags was kind of staying basic up front. Maybe even in the back, but I wasn't focused on that so all I can really say is I only saw a couple coverages that looked 'exotic' to me. I think if we get Ward and Pennel back, even if just for limited snaps, the defense will look a lot more like what we were doing late last season. I will say that Tyrann and Nnadi looked like they were in mid-season form. And that Chris Jones started that game looking like he'd worked on his run defense. You watch the first couple series and he's doing all the right things vs. the run, most important being that he's being a team player. He was helping build the wall that Spags likes to talk about, he was staying in his lane, shedding his blocks, etc. It was really interesting. Somewhere in the second quarter I think he got tired and I think he got impatient. But if Pennel can spell him and Nnadi some, Chris might not have those issues on Monday. And if that turns out to be the case, he could have a really good game. I know, a lot of "ifs" but my point is that I really think Chris is going to be significantly better against the run this year because I think he's been working on that part of his play. I don't think all that talk about being "the best DT in the game" was all talk for him. |

Great post.
I will say this: I'm not sure stopping the run, at least from the RBs, is that much of an issue anyway. It certainly wasn't last year. Ingram had a monster game and it just didn't matter. They need to contain Jackson, that's the most important piece. |

Has the PR team determined that Niemann is a piece of shit?

Yep. The important stuff goes through Jackson.

Andy said that Sammys neck is more of a concern than the concussion

I know this is an unpopular opinion on CP, but I think Jackson poses a bigger threat to our secondary, than our run defense.
Many here dismissively label Lamar Jackson as a RB playing QB, but he led the NFL in passing TDs and QBR last year, and has become an even better passer this season. You don't lead the league in those two categories if you are a RB playing QB. You lead the league in those two categories by being a damn good QB. I think Mahomes is the best QB that I have ever seen, but Lamar Jackson is becoming a scary version of Michael Vick & Steve Young combined. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

They'll be up to the task again, IF the front 7 can keep Jackson from extending plays forever with his legs. Keeping Lamar in the pocket and letting Chris Jones work is what needs to happen. |
