Basically you factor about 4 things together...Houston turning into a solid player when he was signed to be elite, Eric Berry being a ghost that never plays with the trading away of the only really great defensive draft pick this team ever had really stacked the deck in a bad way...also Dee Fords holding pattern on development and we have a defense that probably should have been top 15 looking like ass...

There is a reason Tampa Bay and Kansas City are the top two scoring teams so far (two best offenses) and also the two worst defence in terms of yards and points allowed.
Scoring a lot offensively has the effect of making the other team one-dimensional, which is passing the ball a lot and agressively, which leads to more points for that opposing team. I still think the Chiefs are fielding an average D but if they keep scoring close to 40 points, the defense will allow points too, especially against top QBs and top offences. |

Don't get me wrong, it's not a "good" defense, but I think the people saying it's historically bad are way off. They seem to be far better at stopping the run. The secondary needs work but isn't as brutal as it has seemed. Berry will help. |

Defense, too, honestly. Forcing early 3 and outs and allowing KC to build that big lead with their explosive offense. Boy they're mushy with a 14 point lead though. |

Jones was listed as a full participant on Thursday. Berry and Watts did not practice again.

Well, final practice of the week with no Berry. I'm guessing week 5 is the earliest possible return.

I wonder if they aren't going to be sending him for an MRI soon? Has anything been mentioned about that locally?

There is little blood flow to the achilles so it does not heal on its own very quickly if at all. I would assume they have tried PRP and sonic therapy to try and get it to heal on its own. Unfortunately it most likely is an injury he is just going to have to realize he has to fight through and just have it repaired either preemptively or when it tears/ruptures. |

I haven't been tracking this on a daily basis like some have, if it's been 6 weeks now and he's not even able to run in practice that's starting to be suspicious of something else, is it not? For someone who's already had injuries to the other achilles, you wonder if things like running form that can cause chronic pain over time are affecting both feet. |

Also a good chance it isn’t tendinitis and is tendonosis. Hopefully for him it is tendinitis. I have tendonosis in both Achilles and have already had one reconstructed. Not the most pleasant thing to deal with. |
