On the field, the defense won the day. Okafor, Clark, and Juan Thornhill all looked particularly great. Clark and Okafor racked up several would-be sacks in the team portion of practice, and both set the edge well in the run game. Thornhill had a great pass break-up in the back of the end zone on Mecole Hardman as well as an interception off of Patrick Mahomes. [Reply]

The problem is, Bonehead Bob played them at OLB. They are not and never will be OLBs. Now that Bonehead Bob and his assistants are gone, they can play the positions that made them 2nd round picks. [Reply]

Not only his balls ... but his throws, as well.
Sometimes you see a bit of unusual, mid-pass lift or elevation that is inexplicable and I've seen quite a number that appear to curve ... most often to the left.
I don't know why. Or how. I'm guessing it's a matter of maximum football velocity and rotation.

An INT of Henne is the NFL average when a QB fucksbup a read, You can't expect parting the seas , healing frail children, and picking off a PMII pass breaking the sound barrier simultaneously.
It's better than hearing that the ghost of Berry will make everything all better when Eric's healthy which never happened. [Reply]

Sutton had no power to draft. They were picked in the 2nd round by the collective genius braintrust of Dorsey/Veach knowing full well they were raw and didn't fit the system. [Reply]

Somebody mentioned recently about a ball he threw either at training camp or last season that literally curved. Now, I don't know about that in this years training camp, but there was a pass that he threw in the regular season last year that curved.
Not sure what game it was, but I ain't lying. it was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen a football do. The dude has crazy mojo. :-) [Reply]

Divine intervention. Mahomes's passes are touched by the hand of God. Sometimes He redirects them a bit. [Reply]
