K-9

I think Josh has looked a tad slower this year and I wonder if that and his decisions not to run when it’s clearly open for him to do so are related to an injury of some sort.

Winslow, Newsome, Gronkowski to add a few more.

He was well on his way to rolling against the Falcons until he was injured by an uncalled illegal tackle.

Arrowhead had many innovations for stadium design at the time, but the thing I appreciated most when it opened was the addition of arrows on the yard markers to indicate which goal line was closest. Unless the ball was at midfield, the TV angles didn’t inform viewers where the teams were exactly.

I would like nothing more than for this to be true, but I don't have much faith in Williams at present. He is violent and sudden alright; as in he violently and suddenly goes to the wrong place more often than not. I sincerely hope he makes a liar out of me someday soon. This Sunday would be nice.

I’m not sure who the OP disrespects more; Burrow or Flacco.

The “control” can only come from one place; Wilkins himself. And he has shown ZERO ability to do so. Prep time is short enough as it is and pro organizations don’t have the time nor the responsibility to babysit during the week. Hard pass on this clown.

I don’t care if he’s a shoe-in, first ballot HOFer, he is not a fit for this team. Or most other teams from the looks of it.

Shades of Derrick Burroughs.

Derrick Burroughs came to my mind as well. Football can be cruel, but if this helped doctors discover a spine issue like Burroughs and knowing how threatening that was for his longterm healthy at the time, then this may have been a blessing in disguise for Strong. Feeling bad for the kid big time.

I don’t mean to imply that Tre and Po aren’t positive contributors because they certainly are. It was interesting to see that Hairston (50%) and Hancock (47%) split reps evenly with Tre and Po, respectively. I suspect that’s because McD and Co. can plainly see that they need that superior athleticism on the field, especially against offenses like KC. I think the youngsters will see increased snap counts as the season progresses, too. Again, that’s not a dis on the two vets who were mainstays in the secondary in previous seasons; just another reminder that father time catches up to all of us.

Keep giving the athletically superior Hairston and Hancock more and more reps. It’s great that Tre and Poyer may know where to be but if they no longer have the athletic chops to get there, it doesn’t matter. It certainly paid dividends yesterday against an offense that was humming on all cylinders coming in.

Especially after his no class owner threw him under the bus last week.

This defense can’t afford to be unafraid against any team.

Our back seven, especially the LBs, are in for another rough afternoon. Once again, Josh will need to put up a 40 burger. Brady will have to be creative given the dearth of receivers but I question if he is up to the task.
