Also, yeah. I don't care if he's improved. "Chiefs really miss their starting nose Derrick Nnadi, ya know."
Oh yeeeeahhh... shit... damn, it's a shame Nnadi isn't here right now. We're stuck with Pennel. Instead of Nnadi. Well shiiiiiiit amirite? |

I can't believe that I didn't realize that we used the Tyreek Hill 4th rd pick from the trade on the trade up to get Rashee Rice.
McDuffie and Rice + tons of cap space. Yeah that alone wins this trade |

Mike Pennel is the sneaky great move by Veach and buried side-story of the SB imo. Guy comes back, looks pretty washed his first few games, then rolls back the years in the SB.
Seemed like a desperation move at the time but man it paid off. Much, much better than Nnadi |

He's a wizard. Can't wait to watch him work his magic in free agency and the draft.
Thing is this team doesn't need. Keep the defense in tact and get just ONE legit reciever and you can make an argument the team is better than last year. |

Had himself a game. Unsung hero of the Bowl according to this article: https://heavy.com/sports/kansas-city...ro-super-bowl/ |

Pennel needs to stay. Cheap good DL depth is a must.

Difference in the game was the quality of depth on the roster. Omenihu and Thuney are out? A bit tougher sledding but we weathered the storm.
Conversely, Greenlaw goes down and his backup allows 9 catches on 9 targets and a TD, while Feliciano goes down and his backup blows the biggest assignment of the game and allows Jones through unimpeded to Purdy who had at least 2 players wide open for potential game winning TD. Veach is absolutely incredible at roster churn. |

He was a street free agent pickup for SB 54 as well, wasn't he? Feel like we picked up him in October when someone went down (or maybe after one of those games where we just puked on our shoes in the run game). Dude's come in mid-season for two Super Bowl runs and proven very important in both of them. He played 40 friggen snaps Sunday - for a guy his size (and at his age) coming in this late in the year, that's damn impressive. Yeah, I'd really like to see him brought back next season. Kinda curious why it took as long as it did to bring him in given that Nnadi simply never looked that good anyway. Coaches really do seem to have a blind spot for that guy. |

Trent Williams, the baddest dude on the planet, a mauler in every sense of the word, gets a step and hits him square in the chest. And he goes nowhere. Better still, he friggen puts Williams on the ground. And then he makes the play! That's unbelievable. That's one of the most dominant reps I've ever seen if only because it can't get MORE dominant than that. How can anyone win a run rep any more thoroughly than Pennel wins that one? Wow. Great clip. |

I still cannot get over this play by Pennel. It just goes to show there are some guys who can truly dig deep within their souls and find a completely different level and play above what they should be capable of when everything is on the line, and we have a lot of them on this roster.

I'd be interested to see how Farrell looked when he was in the game.
