People knew Walker was good but I don’t think they knew he was this good. We paid for him let’s use him he didn’t look tired at all. Denver will be a contender at the end that ass kicking may light their fire. We weren’t even that great two terrible snaps and a miscommunication by Xavier leading to a pick. Inside sources say Worthy and other WRs don’t have a feel for the game poor situational awareness and that is their major problem which you either have or you don’t that can’t really be taught. That’s something Kelce and Mahomes naturally have that separates them. Physical talent only takes you so far without a feel for the game. Our passing game will not work with this group without a running game that defenses must focus on. If we want to win we have to make defenses sell out to stop the run.

Khalil Benson's background was basically a worst case scenario going into that game. He's a UDFA that showed up for tryouts, and he never played LT before. Expectations were rightfully low. If Simmons availability follows this 2018 Eric Berry pattern, Mahomes is going to have a 1 yard aDOT all year long.

I think field awareness is mostly just a problem with Worthy. He loses the sideline, he runs wrong routes, and when he does get the ball, he vapor locks trying to read defenders instead of using his speed to maximize yardage. As a 1st round pick, the "bust" title is in his rear view mirror and closer than it appears. Kelce isn't a fair comparison. If he's not the best to ever do it in that regard, he's certainly in the conversation. I watched Schwartz's review of Benson's pass block reps. He's strong, but his get off, his foot work, and his punch were all bad, and I'm not sure how effectively coaching can fix all of that in a hurry. I think there's a chance he could be serviceable against an average guy, but Bonitto was beating him quickly enough on enough reps that it would have caused major issues on anything but quick passes. Running the offense like that is going to severely limit the team. I don't know what the Broncos are this season. For as much hate as the Patriots got for being schedule merchants, the Broncos weren't far behind them, and they won a lot of close games on low probability devil magic. I don't think that was really a 14 win, AFCCG caliber team. But I do think the fundamentals are/were good, and they were a real playoff team. They can win a lot of games by doing the cliche football stuff. Good defense, conservative ball control offense, and avoid turnovers at all costs. I don't think getting into shootouts or asking a lot of Nix goes well for them. If other teams beat their defense with physicality like the Chiefs did on Monday, they might be cooked. If their defense locks in, they probably win the division again. There's a lot of football left in front of us. All of this could be funny to read in week 8. lol |

 The Chiefs star tight end was named in court on Tuesday as one of many to be wronged by Siddharth Jawahar, described by the U.S. Attorney’s Office as an illegal immigrant who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for fraud that took away more than $35 million from investors. The 38-year-old pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud in U.S. District Court in St. Louis in January and was ordered to pay over $31 million in restitution to his victims, per a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Missouri. Kelce’s losses were not disclosed nor did prosecutors expand on the 36-year-old’s connection to the case. Jawahar ran a Texas-based investment company, Swiftarc Capital LLC, and funneled nearly all his client funds in a single investment, Philip Morris Pakistan (PMP) in 2015. Per the release, when the value of PMP went south, Jawahar did not inform his investors and instead led them to believe he invested their money in a specific company and were making a profit. Yet, of the $35 million, Jawahar invested only about $10 million dating from July 2016 to December 2023. ... |

Without looking up the stats, I'd guess he was probably top 5 pass rusher last year. Nearly everyone he faced struggled against him. You seem good at looking up stats, how many running plays were off Benson's side? It feels like a majority went off the left side. |

I wonder who the in-betweener was. |

You seem good at looking up stats, how many running plays were off Benson's side? It feels like a majority went off the left side. A lot of the runs did go to the left side, and there was a lot of success there. But run blocking isn't really the concern. Pass blocking is. The Chiefs didn't have an effective passing game on Monday night for a variety of reasons. The Broncos D is built specifically for that, the receivers aren't good, Mahomes was rusty, the game plan was to exploit the Broncos run D, etc. The question moving forward is whether or not Benson can be serviceable in pass protection against a league average DE. His film and the game script from Monday doesn't give us a good answer to that question. |

If you're not following this, some rapper got banned by Kraft, then all the associated music acts quit the Ed Sheeran tour in protest or something? I am not familiar with any of these "artists", but it has an NFL owner involved in a controversy with all sides releasing "statements".

When did the RT go down? "#1" corner!? Hah!! A #2 at best on a serious contender. Miller was confirmed out yesterday with a knee. Not sure how serious. I figured it was a loss before the season started, but had hope we could pull of a Ravens type performance like last year. Then I just saw Skywarp2203 picked the Lions to win...
