I don't think the OL has played poorly at all.

Lots of worry here for nothin'. Clearly there are some issues, but nothing I don't think you can work through.

Flacco isn't playing great but he has shown me a couple things that I haven't seen from him before..

The pump fake and side step to avoid the rush, while staying in the pocket and delivering a throw.

The evasion of a rusher and finding Ray Rice for a first.

A really really good play fake on that incomplete deep pass.

Smith really needs to keep an eye on the ball. He can clearly stay with the big dogs but he needs to play the ball.

That's the biggest thing we are going to need to address this year. Not having Heap available on those 3rd and 8's..

lol

Nice tackles by McClain.

**Flipping Birdie** · 08-19-2011, 07:06 PM

I kind of like that Jimmy Smith is getting schooled. He'll be a better player week 1 for it.

Yeah, play the ball and he'll break some of those up and/or pick off some.

Nice play by Cary Williams.

**CRZA938** · 08-19-2011, 07:07 PM

Great coverage!

**BArellano** · 08-19-2011, 07:07 PM

THAT's why having big CBs is nice.

**Ravenboy2003** · 08-19-2011, 07:07 PM

KC's passing game = 1 trick pony.. No wonder they were ranked 30th in passing last year.

All true. Despite the misses he kept his eyes downfield and was mentally there. I think we're primed to see growth this year.

**JMUpurkfool** · 08-19-2011, 07:08 PM

We can't keep Cary off the field.

**Sephy** · 08-19-2011, 07:08 PM

Great D from Cary on Bowe.

The Chiefs offense fucking blows if you can't get it to Bowe or get big holes with Charles. And I'm not saying this from a preseason standpoint alone, either.

I called the Chiefs a mirage a few weeks ago when some people were thinking their SB or AFCCG odds were a bargain. I think they're not doing much at all this year.

**Ravenboy2003** · 08-19-2011, 07:08 PM

There's a reason we let Josh Wilson walk. Carey showed some great signs last year that he could play the position well before getting hurt.

yep, he's not getting burned.

**psuraven** · 08-19-2011, 07:10 PM

Carey Williams continuing his great camp with blanket coverage.

**Sephy** · 08-19-2011, 07:10 PM

I forgot about Ricky. lol. Guy is patient and can hit the hole.

He'll continue to develop, but he's got a great base to work from. He can make all the throws, eh.
