He hasn't played football in two years, isn't up to his former play weight, was just thinking about trying to play as a TE and the last time he played LT he gave up 13.5 sacks. At RT they are starting Kevin Sampson a 7th round 2004 draft pick who has started 1 game.

jerek said:Mods, please merge with the other one.
Double Barrel said:My pleasure.
Don't know about being a wet blanket, just realistic. Like you said...being a preseason game, and most the starters out after the first quarter, I think three is probably about right. Of course three would be a dang site better than last year. I would bet on more picks than sacks.edo783 said:I guess I am the one that will be the wet blanket. 2 sacks and 1 int. First game, 1st team only plays about one quarter. I think one of the sacks will come from the second team as our second team line will be basicaly our last years starter line. We will give up one sack to Sage and both our QBs will throw an INT. L.J. gets 45 yards for the Chiefs on 12 carries. We score 17 Chiefs get 10.

michaelm said:I'm going with four.
There are a few things to consider that may make it more than four...
There is a good chance that our starting DLine will go deeper into this game than a starting unit might in a normal preseason game one.
The second thing is that with KC's afore mention OLine turmoil, they almost certainly don't have the same level of quality in the line that we have in our second and even third string DL.
I think the first team we put out there will have success, but in the second half I really think our DL will have a substantial talent advantage over the OL they send out there.
hmmm... I think I just talked myself into adding a sack or two... too bad I already voted!

vtech9 said:I am picturing total havok. I voted 4-6, but I have the feeling that it might be double that. I see Peek with 2. I just picture him embarrassing Turley. With Mario on the other side, it could be scary. One thing that I see that might limit the number of sacks is KC running the ball more. If they run the ball more, we should get a pretty good picture of how good our run defense is going to be.
I agree 100%. After all, we had a horrible run D last year. Why wouldn't they test it? Then again our pass D was bad too.
Chance_C said:Yeah, but they will find out how much our run d has improved. It is definately not a perceived weakness right now, but we hadn't proved it on the field yet, and they will test it early on. That's when we will begin to realize what we all already know. Our run D is GOOD.
Because of this I voted 4-6. We'll make them throw the ball. Mario will get doubled, and I think we will put some pressure on the QB, even when our backups come in.
South Texan said:Considering our depth on the d-line and the KC team is pretty banged up right now, I went 4 - 6.
I will not be too surprised if we end up with +3 take aways or more.

jerek said:Closet Chiefs fan?
Who's predicted sacks by the dozen?
Our predictions have a lot more to do with our new head coach, defensive coordinator, acquisition of Mario Williams and Anthony Weaver, and positioning of Peek and Babin on the D-line, than your raggedy O-line.
I never understand fans who troll other teams' message boards.

kmartin575 said:Raggedy O-line? Will Shields is one of the best guards in the game. Brian Waters is also one of the best guards in the game, although I guess he won't be playing. Casey Wiegmann is one of the best centers in the game. Kyle Turley at left tackle is still better than anybody the Texans have at left tackle. I really laugh at a Texans fan talking trash on another teams offensive line. Your line has been the worst in football for quite some time.

TexansLucky13 said:That was a tad bit unnecessary, dude. Jerek did nothing to merit that response, and you should have a little thing called tact when you troll other teams forums. From the way you speak you obviously just want to talk trash to someone. Go bother the Broncos MB, they will ban you for even saying you are a Chiefs fan.
kmartin575 said:Sorry. I'm not trying to talk smack. I just think it's funny that people think you guys are going to rack up the sacks on us.
kmartin575 said:I mean if he were playing the whole game on Saturday. Now that I come to think of it though I think your run defense will be much improved. We would still have success running on you but not the way we did last year.
infantrycak said:Thanks for the very polite response. Look we really do like visiting fans coming in to talk football. Let's all try to keep the rhetoric down to gentle jabs instead of outright assaults so this doesn't devolve into smack talk rather than football talk. There is a reason we don't have a smack talk forum around here. Welcome to the MB.
