Chiefs Thornhill played 11 snaps last night

Juan Thornhill played 11 snaps. He has way more talent than Dirty Dan but continues to get scrub playing time.

The usage of Thornhill is a complete mystery. Please enlighten me as to why Thornhill doesn't play more snaps?

Dan plays the game the right way. Lunch pail kinda guy. High motor. Good instincts.

Dirty Dan hides Juan’s helmet.

I wonder if it's because Cleveland and Baltimore are run run run teams. And thornhill tends to get overpowered. May see him more this week against Justin Herbert?

Why would we use someone who might be able to cover someone once in a while. It’s more exciting to leave the WR open all night long and make 2 tackles to make up for it.

Sorensen is like the pig that saved the family from a fire. It had a missing leg because you can't eat a pig like that all at once. Andy likes bacon though.

^ Makes perfect sense, good call.

He's not great against the run.

Kinda of guy you want your daughter or son or both to marry. Your wife to have an affair with. Heard one guy’s girlfriend left him for Dirty Dan.

Neither is Sorensen. Thornhill might even be a better tackler.

Ohhh man could you imagine if they showed Dirty Dan pulling up to a game in a cowboy hat driving an el camino?

The only thing I can think of is that our coaches felt Dan would hold up better against the Ravens power running attack.

Andy Reid on Thornhill vs Sorenson playing time

"Dan had the better camp...maybe a little more consistency there...Juan is getting back to where he was his rookie year"
