The #Chiefs run defense is basically: Oh, hey Frank Clark! And then... terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible (via Football Outsiders). pic.twitter.com/QahoYX2Av7
How come Aaron Donald gets paid and then doesn't suck?
Why can't we have nice things? You just know if we pay Chris Jones he's going to become average.
What's Gunther doing these days? Can we coax Saleamua and Phillips out of retirement? Phillips' mind is so gone maybe he'll have crazy person strength.
You know what's so impressive about that play? He tried to engage the blocker for his LBer first.
He wasn't trying to shoot a gap to destroy the play - he tried to engage the man and play within the system to ensure his teammates could do their job. When the blocker shot past him and effectively too himself out of the play, only then did Donald try to blow upfield.
He's just so damn good. He's guilty of taking plays off more than I'd like but when you're that big and play that often, I understand needing a blow here and there. It's not ideal but it's the reality of the position.
But to play with virtually perfect technique, remain schematically sound and STILL make the impact he does is just unreal. [Reply]
Clark gets washed out, legit doesn’t even put up a fight. #50’s over there salsa dancing around a fucking slot WR. Chris Jones quits on the backside pursuit. Neither Hitchens or Wilson fill the two gaps right in front of them.. just terrible.
Hilariously, if just like one of these fucking clowns steps up, that play goes for a routine 2-3 yards. But of three or four guys who were in position to make a play, not a single one did. [Reply]
