Less contact is better anyway - we don't want ANYONE on offense getting hurt right now.

That dude always gets hurt, at 27 if he's hurt again and can't make the team his career is toast.

Injury prone, later Reaser.

So honest question...does Colquitt have a chance of being cut since there's another punter?

I mean he was clearly already behind Fuller, Breeland, Ward, Wade, and probably losing the battle with Fields.

No

It's a real question, with a lot of guys to pay saving money at the punter spot when the team doesn't punt much isn't a horrible idea.

Reaser possible achilles tear according to Reid

Me: Why be excited about Reaser? He's camp fodder.

Inmen & Everyone else: OMG YOU'RE SO NEGATIVE!!

Me: Tre ****ing Boston??? LMAO LMAO LMAO

Inmen: OMG HE'S SO GOOD SIGN HIM WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE

Tre Boston: Call me please. Someone? Anyone? Call me?

His career is toast.

Well, he would've been a nice story had he worked out after the AAF, but it doesn't matter now. I'd put money on Reaser having a torn ACL or achilles. He's done.

Boston would be on a team other than he demanded a long term deal and well no one wants to do that.

Welp, my boy Fields had better stay sharp because he just saw his window open.

Damn tough break for Reaser. He had some demand so I'd imagine he got himself a little injury guaranty but that still sucks something awful.

Really feel for Reaser. Probably his last real shot.

Because he's a 1 year contract talent.

Yes, that does suck to go out like that.

So they seem to plan on really using KPass now? Surprising.

That DL is ****ing deep if guys like him become solid.

Can't wait to see what kinda juice this Wade kid has.

DJLN already said it, but i never understood why he was buried in the first place. He did a good job of creating pressure the little bit of time he was in there. Glad to see he's getting a chance.

Watching on NFLN... run defense looks rock solid. A little concerned about the push of our interior line. I’m still not 100% sold that Reiter has the strength we need at C for a full season.

Can’t express how stoked I am to hear that Hardman seems to be coming along nicely.

That will be a great boon if/when Watkins misses some games, or God forbid Hill does. Hopefully you have all 3 and just torch ass week in and week out.

The run defense is so damn important for this team.

Think about that 13-3 Chiefs squad with Vermiel that had a generally shitty defense but it was at least one that forced teams to try to push the ball. It forced turnovers and created high-pressure downs for opposing offenses.

Well that's the situation we need to find ourselves in again. We can't let a team go out there and just control the clock on us. We can't let them have 5 free yards on first down and set themselves up in spots where they have easy pitches/catches for 1st downs. We need them behind the sticks so that secondary has easier responsibilities.

So many people gave Veach trouble for focusing on run defense when the passing game was so strong and was forcing teams to work from behind. I don't think that was the problem, I think the problem was that all the focus on the run defense yielded very little in the way of actual improvements there. If that focus had yeilded a sturdy run D, things would've been so much easier all around for the defense and secondary.

Here's hoping that those gains will actually be realized this year because run defense is far more critical with this offense than people realize. If teams can't just attack with 1,000 papercuts against us, we'll force them into mistakes and it really only takes 3-4 of those a game for us to come out on top.

Bruce/Holt/Hakim

And this time Warner can run around. :)

Give him Warner's deep ball accuracy to go with the raw arm strength and he can literally put a ball anywhere on the football field. Defensive backs can never pass anyone off because if they're in space, Mahomes can get it to them, even on the backside of the play.

Warner is still the best pure passer I've ever seen. His ball didn't always have that beautiful spin on it, but when it comes to putting a ball exactly where he wanted it to be, exactly when he wanted it to be there, he was better than Joe Montana. Tom Brady's that precise through 12-15 yards but not 20 and beyond.

Warner with time was a goddamn assassin and if Mahomes can get his accuracy to that level...{shudder}...he probably left 10% again as many TDs and Yards on the field last year by just missing balls downfield that time and reps may prevent him from missing going forward.

Those missed deep shots were the difference between him having the 2nd best season by a QB in history and the unquestioned best. He'll be able to challenge those marks again this year with a step forward in his downfield accuracy.

Hope Williams hamstring doesn’t give him any problems during the season those shit can linger.

The good thing is they’ve described it as “sore”. Doesn’t really sound like an injury, but who knows?

Oh ****.

Last time the Chiefs used "Sore", it was to describe Berry's forever-busted achilles.

All of Mahomes' highlights from college was of beautifully thrown deep balls, so it's a bit surprising that that was his weak spot last year.

MAHOMES DROPS THE HAMMER!!!

I don't recall ever talking about Tim Ward.

Eh, they are setting him up for IR for this year.

Not sure if posted, but if true, could be nice

And I just exploded in my pants

Yes, but can he line up onside?

Imagine how good this D could be if Tanoh turns into Julius Peppers. Same build.

If Mahomes is truly THIS good, I may just have to go to two or three regular season games at Arrowhead this year instead of my usual one.

Go go Tanoh!

Maybe this is the year it all clicks for him

year 3

I always thought Tanoh fit better in a 4-3 D.

All of you Tanoh haters should be ashamed!

Reaser GONE!!

If Tanoh emerges this year, I think you have to think even less of the previous DC and position coaches. Yes, Tanoh has responsibility as well, but the coaches are in place to develop the talent.

OOOR.....he was a raw prospect with unique athletic gifts and is finally coming around in yr 3.

Not exactly the type that should be taken in the second round, especially when we ran a 3-4 which he clearly didn't fit. Hopefully Speaks contributes more than Kpass did in year 2.

Good to see you’ve at least found something other than corner to bitch about!

Is Tanoh going to beat out Okafor for the starting spot? If he does I'll certainly eat my crow.

However, if I may shit just a little bit on the table for people? Mitchell Schwartz left practice early with a sore back. I don't know who Tanoh was going up against with the first team, but for a long portion of practice (and probably during the time they were running 11-on-11) he was likely lined up against some OG that they shoved over to RT.

I doubt he'll start but Spags has a history of rotating a ton of dudes through so expect the backup linemen to see way more time than they did under Sutton.

Schwartz has a sore back? That's not a good thing

I think we're going to see a combination of 2009 Drew Brees and 1993 John Elway this year.

He plays next to a doctor, he'll be fine.

I’d say give him a week off and he good.

Back injuries are just scary. Not something to **** around with.

There’s a difference between being sore and injured. At least there should be.

Kelce tweaked his ankle during practice but continued to practice

You will NEVER insult Patrick Mahomes II like that again. You hear me? NEVER. I will hunt you down.

Not with the Chiefs apparently.

Berry: Sore Heel.

Schwartz: Sore Back

Williams: Sore Hamstring.

Clearly, we have a pattern here.

And that patterns is that any injury we don't wanna talk about, we'll call it sore.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one that was offended

Yeah, but for a guy that size any back stuff could be scary.

Hopefully he's ok

Eh hard to compare that VERY unique situation to these other guys. It’s not a pattern yet.

Send in the Tanoh
