Outstanding start to the season:
WR - Grade=B+. AJ looks great, Jacoby found the regular season to be tuffer than the pre-season.
TE - Grade=B. Kinda quiet but, Daniels did make a good catch in the 4th..
Oline - Grade=B-. Some break downs, average run blocking, overall good game.
QB - Grade = B+. Missed some passes, made some passes. Missed some reads, made some reads. Nothing to complain about and plenty to be optimistic about.
RB - Grade=B-. Green looks good. Dayne looks just okay ... I don't understand the staff's love affair with Dayne but, he made some good runs and then he didn't make some. Just doesn't look like we have a bona fide 100 yard/game runner. But we are at least adequate or better.
DLine - Grade=B. Mario probably had his best game. ND Kalu playing Super Man on his sack & Travis Johnson playing Andre Johnson on his int! Some of you will complain that my grade is too low for this game but, the Chiefs oline is in dissarray and, while we are making progress, this unit can still step it up a couple more notches. Amobi was quiet and, when I focused on him, was generally being handled fairly easily by the oline. I don't think he is ready to be a starter in this league.
MLB - Grade=B. Solid not great.
OLB - Grade=C+. Solid overall.
CB - Grade=B. Solid, not great.
S - Grade=C+. Improved. Brown made some plays as did Simmons b4 he was hurt. Hutchins looked solid. Hope Boulware is an improvement.
ST - Grade=C+. Our return game was not good and we could never tackle their return man with our 1st wave of defenders.
Coaching - Grade=A. Good job overall.
Excellent victory to open the season but, the Chiefs appear to be sliding at this time and so I'm going to temper my enthusiasm. Our next 2 oponents looked pretty good this week and, if we can manage to get 1 victory out of the next 2 games, that will be a big positive. Looking at the rest of our schedule, I'm saying we will be a 7-9 or 8-8 team which is improved over last year and a step towards the playoffs for next year.
Okay that's my take on it, what's yours?
