Also glad we managed to fit in 8 snaps for Gordon. I know with such a great and talented WR group it's hard to get guys snaps after they've been here a month. [Reply]

I'm not saying the Chiefs coaches care what the media thinks, but it's a little odd to me that Sorensen was playing buttloads of snaps over Thornhill (not to mention was starting), and it wasn't until an article came out that specifically said, "Bench Sorensen" and just two weeks later, Thornhill is in on 96% of snaps.
Could be coincidental that the Chiefs' breaking point with Sorensen's shit was around the same time. Could also be coincidental that they determined Thornhill to be ready for full-time duty at 100% at around the same time. Or.... there was pressure from OTHER places within the franchise, which includes other aspects of the coaching staff, front office, and all the way up to Clark Hunt himself.
OR....he failed so miserably Sorenson's poor play could no longer be excused and was no longer tolerable.
Neimann gets washed out on screen passes. He gets washed out on runs. When does have the ability to make a tackle, he often misses them. He has no playmaking ability in coverage. And on top of all of that, we've seen him just flat-out blow coverages that lead to touchdowns this year. Seriously, what is his strength? He knows how to blitz, I guess? I cannot understand how this position hasn't been addressed and how he keeps seeing so many snaps. [Reply]

Dude was starting all through TC. Quit acting like the Chiefs all of a sudden don't want him out there, and remember that the dude is going through an injury that he'll likely have offseason surgery to repair.
Expect to see him on a limited snap basis all year. Might as well get it out of your system now.
So Neimann had a whole 4 more snaps than Gay. Neimann also had 3 tackles, 1 assist and a sack to Gay's 2 assists and INT. Yeah, that's the problem when you get your ass handed to you 27-3. It wasn't LB pllay that killed us yesterday. [Reply]
I noticed one play on offense in the third quarter where Tyreek and Kelce and Robinson and (I think) Darrel all came out. We were in a spread formation and I was curious who was on the field.
I think it was Pringle and Noah Gray and Josh Gordon and McKinnnon and someone else I didn't catch (Hardman?). But I thought it was odd that we had a formation where all of our first-string skill players other than Mahomes came out of the game. [Reply]
The fact that Ben plays for this team tells you everything you need to know. That guy wouldn't be anything more then 4th string practice player on other rosters. [Reply]
