I expected the Dline to be the best one in the AFC West and a top 5 unit in the league before training camp and I am not expecting any less now.
Between two star players in Jones and Clark right in their prime, tons of young players potentially on the rise, a solid veteran in Okafor, a solid backup in Williams and a supposedly top coach in Daly, I dont see how this unit isn't one of the best in the league. [Reply]
I was so excited about drafting Thornhill. I’m not a big draftnik, but that was one guy I happened to research a lot pre draft. Thought he fit our needs and was gonna be available.

No doubt. It's crazy to think there were some people butthurt that Sutton was fired, Houston traded, etc.
I have no idea how much, if at all Houston, Ford and Berry were to blame for our overall softness, but this was the perfect year to blow it up and re-build that side of the ball. We literally have nothing to lose after finishing 31st. [Reply]
Andy Reid sounded frustrated with starting running back Damien Williams, who has yet to practice with the Chiefs at training camp because of a sore hamstring. ‘’He’s missed quite a bit,’’ Reid said. “He’s missed a lot of plays. It’s been great for these... https://t.co/9Ek8SX4umn
