At least Beane had some foresight to take Bernard and Williams in consecutive drafts. Good example of how quickly team needs can change. At the time both players were seen as redundancies on the roster and the picks were questioned for it. Now they are both starting. This is why you always draft BPA.

Spector is always dealing with something too. He's looked pretty good when he gets on the field but can't rely on him.

At least there's a chance of a return. Dorian Williams is going to have to step up big time. He looked lost against the Bears. I guess if that experiment fails, Spector can be a steady but low ceiling option.

Fingers crossed it is only partially torn. I believe that would put him in line to possibly return late in the season.

I was told torn bicep

He has a presser at 12:30 in advance of the Steelers joint practice.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I've heard it's bad and likely a long term injury. I don't know exact details though.

He really didn't though. MVS was a bust of a signing and was roundly hated by Chiefs fans for his laughably bad hands. Toney was a net negative on the team whenever he was on the field. Sky Moore has been a bust. It's a total myth that QBs transform WRs into someone they're not. Elite QBs can elevate the production of a WR but they can't make them better than they are.

Sounds like potentially a high ankle sprain.

Sure, why not.

Looks like Addison is fine.

Jesus...

The tweet is talking about pass plays only... It wouldn't include any Allen runs or even scrambles. No surprise at all that we rank low in that hyper specific scenario with I would assume a very low sample size. We don't have Andy Reid drawing up easy button shovel passes and we didn't have any contested catch specialists last year. FWIW we ranked 4th in red zone TD% last year at 63.89% (KC ranked 19th at 51.25%). Boiling that down to just within 3 yards of the goalline and just on pass plays is going to create some funky results.

Out for the season: Feel really bad for the kid. Not to make light of it but this should help increase our 2nd round pick from the Vikings.

8.5 when you remove kneeldowns.

FWIW Kyle Trimble (Banged Up Bills) considers Thigh Doctor to be a hack who relies on baseless speculation more than true medical reasoning. His whole thing is putting out the most extreme worst case scenarios and profiting off of the views. I wouldn't take him too seriously. Banged Up Bills is the reliable account.

Despite the eyeroll reactions you're not wrong. Especially at LB. We should expect Milano and/or Bernard to miss time, it's part and parcel of their body type. IMO keeping 6 LBs is a must. Can't have a situation like the divisional round arise again. Milano, Bernard, Williams, Spector, and Ulofoshio are essentially locks, but I would 100% keep whoever looks better between Morrow and Jones too.

It's time to hit the panic button on Bass. Over the last few reports he's hitting like 70% of his kicks. Not remotely good enough. Also growing more concerned by the day about Cook. His drop issues are getting worse, not better. He had a bad showing against the Bears too. Needs to get his head screwed on right.

There was practice today, media was there but closed to fans obviously. Updates from the day:

I posted this in the other preseason thread too, but here's video analysis he did for his all-22 review: Offense: Defense:

Same thing but for the defense: Little more of a grab bag than the first video. Things that stood out are - Austin Johnson showing up on a few plays, looking like a good depth signing. On the first 3rd and long conversion Carter and Johnson rush the same gap, whoops. Dorian Williams bites hard on play action which directly leads to a big completion. Run defense overall looks very sound.

Joe Marino did an all-22 breakdown of the offense. Very good watch: Early issues he blames on timing kinks with the OL and a couple mistakes by Cook. He shows that Coleman's route running technique needs work in the red zone. He likes what SVPG and Grable showed.

I have been concerned about the Edwards/McGovern combo in the run game for a while now. Their preseason reps didn't create a new concern, it added fuel to a previously existing concern. That concern is compounded by the fact we are likely to be a ball control offense, and ball control is a tough style to win with when you can't consistently run inside.
