1/22 Injury updates per McD

[Kelly to Allen]

Injury report looks pretty good 

 

I wonder if they'll go with 9 active dbs and 4 active lbs

 

Or 8 dbs with 5 lbs

 

Probably 9 dbs and Elam active as depth.

Concerns me too. I have a feeling whoever we have out there at safety is going to be tested early and often by Worthy and Hollywood Brown.

 

 

If Bishop starts they'll simplify things a bit just to be safe. McDermott will have them ready.

It’s amazing Jordan Phillips hasn’t pulled a hammy yet

Put big Jordan Phillips at full back. Then throw him a pass on the goaline

Let me guess: no injuries at all on the Chiefs' report. 

Their starters have played one game in about a month.  That's expected. 

Hopefully we hurt a few of them

It's the AFC Championship Game. They will go if even remotely physically able. 

 

My hunch is Milano and Benford play, Rapp is out. Now will Milano make it through the game is my real question.

Von is not going to be blowing away any all pro tackle these days but he’s still plenty good enough to expose what the chiefs have going on the left side of their line. 

They have started [Former Patriot] Joe Thuney at LT the last two games. Normally a guard, Thuney has 4 SB rings, 4 All-Pro selections.  He has solidified Mahomes blind side.  Been graded for 7 years as a top 10 guard in the league.  They have plugged in 6-4 305# 3rd yr guard Mike Caliendo at LG between All-Pro's Thuney and C - Creed Humphrey.

I'm listening now - he got a question about Baylon Spector and said that he's trending in the right direction. 

 

 

The right direction for Baylor Spector to trend is toward the waiver wire.

I believe Thuney first started playing LT against the Chargers. I know he started there the next game against the Browns, he accidentally poked Myles Garrett in the eye. Up until last week Thuney looked like he had solved their LT problems, but Anderson from HOU got the better of him the second time around.

He is def undersized for a top LB.

 

Milano is 223

Bernard is 224

Williams is 230

KC

Tranquill is 234

Bolton is 237

Chenal is 250

 

KC's LB's also get to clean up any carnage wreaked by Mr. Jones.

 

All the more reason we need the kind of front 4 that can keep those guys clean.

 

Tough to do with so many teams using tight formations and 12 personnel with extra linemen much as we do.

 

Ends up being a numbers disadvantage and usually free blockers getting to the second level so asking a lot to have those lighter guys fight through those big boys injury free.

 

The game is always evolving.

I guess the gameday call ups will help reveal how confident they are in what players will make it through the game.

Von at 29% of snaps against the Ravens.

 

It was 50% for Denver. 

 

Hopefully a size matchup, but now is the time Von. 

 

Rousseau will be out there, but Solomon can't see the field again.

Bills rushed Lamar differently than they'd rush anyone else.  

 

Mahomes can scramble, but he's not Lamar and the Chiefs OL isn't the Ravens OL, despite how good their interior is.  

 

That said.. as you point out, we don't exactly have a monster DL, unless Rousseau, Von and Oliver all decide to ball out together.

If Thuney is playing LT that is going to weaken their interior and he isn't elite LT either as he got beat last week against the Texans.
