Last year's run defense was TRASH going into the game against the Ravens. Lamar rushed 8 times for 46 yards. That 5.8 yards per carry mark was the FIFTH BEST against him all last year. That's right, he average 6ypc or more in 11 of 16 regular season games. He's not going to run wild on the Chiefs, Spags will make sure of it. The questions is whether or not that can stop the backs. |

Lamar has gotten better as a passer from last year. We really need Pennel back and to make an impact.

I really want to unleash Gay on the Ravens. Line him up to both run blitz/ go get Lamar.
If we don't get in the backfield quick its going to be a long day with our crap linebackers. On offense we need to score early and often to put the pressure on. Ravens offense is not made to play from behind. |

I’m hoping Gay has a chance to play more this game but we’ll see.
Niemann is going to get abused because he can’t tackle. |

Hopefully KC offense can start much better in 1st quarter than we’ve seen in so many games lately.

We beat the ravens most of the time. We have the edge but I could see us losing this one and it doesn't bother me. They can't and won't beat us at full strength.
If our D gets their shit together and we don't get off to a quick enough start, we will win. I'm just not overly confident in our defense at this point in the season. |

Okay.... but the current LBs could think as fast as they want and it doesn’t matter cause they’re not athletic enough, and they don’t tackle all that well. Kid needs to take some lumps IMO if that’s what it takes to get him out there. |

We really can't be sure. Wilson had a similar issue after his collision with Herbert and he was back out there a few minutes later.

I’m just not that worried about our defense long term.
If we can start the season like 7-1 or 6-2 at worst, I think we’ll see them turn it on late like last year. Getting Pennel, Saunders, Ward, and Breeland back will be huge. You have to think that Thornhill will start getting back in game shape at some point. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gay emerged in the second half as well. |
