Wow. The 4th and 5th ones are particularly telling. I mean, he got ate up in those, but the last two are fucking terrible. He keeps that shit up and I'm going to call him Damion Albert. [Reply]
The good news is that he got beat on inside moves, outside moves, bull rushes, and stunts. If it had just been one of those things, it would've tipped off other teams to a specific weakness. [Reply]
And people are dissing Croyle over his performance against the Ravens? It's impossible to play quarterback at even a halfway decent level behind this line of inept, slow-footed, crybaby morons. By the time you make your second read, some defensive end is handing you your tonsils. "Sorry Brodie, didn't mean to let that guy rip your clavicle out through your nose." So far this year, we've already lost one QB - an expensive one, too. Unless some miracle happens, I'd say the over/under on dead Chiefs quarterbacks in 2009 is 4. Haley may break Herm's record.
I mentioned this in the other thread. Albert had a horrible game. People were over in that other thread stating how he had a good game. Yeah right!!! We have a major problem if his level of play continues to down that route. [Reply]
in all seriousness...maybe chan ball and thigpen helped mask how terrible our line really was last year...once Thigpen took over the sacks went WAY down and Albert looked terrific...

maybe he's just not THAT good
It's possible...again though, he's lost basically 10% of his body mass and he's being coached up pretty heavily. You can see it with all of the players on the line. Look at Nice Cock. They are all still in the "thinking, not reacting" phase. Once, or if they get past that, you'll see fewer issues here. [Reply]
I've wondered sometimes if we might not have traded a great guard for a mediocre left tackle. I hope that's not the case but we'll probably know by the end of this season. [Reply]
