    We beat them 2 of the last 3 times. If not for 13 secs 3/3 . All in Arrowhead 

    They might have a chance against us

    The thing that concerns me most about at KC is the refs. This team will literally hold you on every play and never get called. God forbid we get near their WRs

     NFLN scroll said Norman was signed to the active roster.  Does this mean Douglas is not playing tonight?  What possible advantage could there be to elevating Norman to the 53? We get a guaranteed number of call-ups from the practice squad and no one else is ever going to sign him. 

    For all the jokes everyone (including me) made about Norman, that guy came in and blew someone up last week on kick coverage. How many mid 30 year old, former big name players would swallow their pride to go play STs like that. And then blow a guy up. I don’t really understand the plan but I respect him for doing that. And he was great at one point. If he can give us a play here or there, I’m good with it. I wish we called up Fournette but I’d expect nothing else from this team. We will probably just shelf him until it’s too late to even matter.

    Dude, at this point you're essentially repeating "I don't like Dodson, Dodson bad" multiple times with no rationale to back it up.  And clearly nothing anyone could present in the way of actual analysis would persuade you.

     

    So, have fun with that!

    The rationale is he has been beaten out by almost every LB on the roster since the day he’s been here. He never makes plays, can’t run, isn’t helpful against the run or pass truthfully. Not really good at anything required to play the position and should be a STs only guy. What do you want me to give you tangibly about a rotational backup LB? He makes zero impact plays. You want PFF grades? I mean all those things are subjective. Idk what to say, watch the game. The guy sucks. It’s not the end of the world. All I’m saying is id prefer the guy with athleticism if the replacement is pedestrian. Don’t really feel like it’s out of line tbh.

  4. Hill was wide open on that first play for a walk in TD and Tua takes the short throw because he probably can’t reach him. The guy is super accurate and seems like a good dude…good for him with this silly little magic show offense they are running. But this guy doesn’t have an NFL arm to actually threaten you. You make him pull it down and get off schedule and he’s just a guy. If this team ever got a QB with an arm and some mobility with those WRs…we’d be ***** lol but this kid ain’t it

    There are different levels of "growing pains", though.  There's "guy gets it 90% of the time and makes mistakes/whiffs 10%" and maybe you live with that.  Then there's "you can see the wheels spinning and sometimes, the hamster is dead, and the wheel's still spinning, and he's chasing the play habitually". 

     

    At that latter point, you not only hamstring your own D, you potentially destroy the player's confidence in himself and set him back.  Belicheck made him dance. I can't tell where Williams is there, but the coaches who watch film with him and see him in practice know.  Contrary to what some posters here believe, McDermott doesn't have any blanket prejudice against rookies where he won't play them even though they're marvelous.

     

    I thought Bernard sucked because of how bad he looked vs the Jets last season, and then he never got back on the field.  I was "uh-oh, waste of a pick".  I'm not the only one either.  Turns out, Beane and McDermott knew something.  So I'm not going to quarrel with however they decide to use Williams.

     

    As an MLB, he was clearly struggling mentally and getting sucked into play action, but he can thump as a tackler, and right now he and Bernard have about the same % of missed tackles. That's all I'll say, as I don't want to do "famous last words"

    Maybe if the guy we were replacing him with wasn’t so blah. This guy truthfully doesn’t even belong on the active roster IMO. If Dodson was capable of almost doing anything ever, I’d be fine with it. I get it, you are replacing the best player on our Defense and anyone is going to look bad. But when Williams is out there he’s capable of playing at modern NFL speed. Milano is a monster, I’m not asking anyone to be him. But Dodson is like he’s running in cement. Then the guy doesn’t even hit anyone. If you are a plotting LB that has almost no quickness, you better be blowing guys off their feet when you hit them. The guy is just neither somehow. I’d almost prefer Klein

    I agree, but I can understand not having 2 new LB'S out there. Especially this game. Being in some close games, I think McD was smart to play it the way he has. Need a couple of blowout games to get him some extra snaps.

    Eh at this point Bernard is fine. This guy is better than Edmunds was in year 4 already. Let it rip

  7. I really like what we did this week to help the defense. Can we just please live through the growing pains with Williams though? At least that guy is capable of making impact plays and a difference. Dodson is a literal waste. I really don’t care if he “knows where to be” if he can’t be there or do anything with the information once he gets there. 42 is a fire cracker out there. That’s what I want from a LB. A guy that  you might not want to make direct eye contact with because he’s a little off. The type of guy that might break your helmet in half on a tackle but then look up and see you never even had the ball.

  8. This is a team that I have to see us beat before I think we can. 2ish games and we were just on skates. They lined up and absolutely blew us off the ball on both sides. Not saying we can’t, just I have to see it. This is the 1 team that’s done it to us. I’d really feel good if we got this one.

  9. I think when it’s all said and done this guy becomes RB1 before the year is out. I really like Cook but if he can’t block, this coach will never trust him. Murray was never good even when he was young. The dude is a complete waste I can’t believe he made the team and really can’t believe he dresses. That’s got to be a clue as to how we feel about Cook

    Carr is definitely not “absolutely terrible.” He’s very slightly above league average who can get a team to the playoffs if the stars align. He’s done it twice and will probably do it again this year because NO is the best team in a bad NFC south.

    I have been saying this and thinking this for years and

    nothing anyone I’d going to say is going to change my mind. He absolutely is terrible IMO and Jimmy G is better. I don’t actually think it’s close. I think the saints are incredibly talented and Carr is holding them back from being real contenders

    The decision to voluntarily get worse at Quarterback is only ever a good one if everyone in the building is on board with a tank or if it is to go to a young guy you have drafted and think you can develop. Otherwise it is always a ridiculous decision. 

     

    McDaniels was done the moment he replaced Derek Carr with Jimmy G.

    Derek Carr is absolutely terrible. That is not the issue in LV. The coach was one of the biggest issues, that’s over now. I’m not saying the guy they replaced McDaniels with is any good, how can I know but McDaniels is clueless. The Raiders have some players and they wasted way too many years with Carr there. Jimmy G isn’t spectacular but he’s very solid. Let a coach that understands NFL protection and scheme get a hold of that team and they can be pretty good. They got a lot better today big picture wise.

    Is Rasul Douglas even gonna be a starter immediately?

    With any other team I’d stay yeah. Remember the way we messed around with Hines last year? Might as well not even done that trade then he got hurt this year. I hope they just let Douglas get in there but I doubt they will. We are very strange with roster management. I’d like to see both he and Fournette immediately but I’m expecting to be disappointed with usage. Hoping to be wrong.

  13. This guy can be a real difference maker for us in power running, pass protection and pass catching out of the backfield. I think you make him active right away, he should have fresh legs. Also he’s younger than I thought he was. Big upgrade from Murray and if you don’t trust Cook in pass protection then this guy can help a lot. I really like this move I hope we use him. I hope he plays against the Bengals. That’s a team that pushed us around physically…this dude is physical.
