Rapp being out concerns me. He seems to make 1-2 drive saving plays a game.

 

Damar played the best game of his career against the Ravens. That kid is an excellent tackler, just needs to shore up his pass defense. Our safety play concerns me moving forward in the playoffs.

 

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.

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

 

But who cares - its Baylon Spector. 

If that direction is opposite of the team plane, then I'm all for it.

Finally heard the beginning of the press conference - Sean independently reiterated "day to day with a hip" for Rapp.

 Chiefs have not had much time to throw deep with their pass protection issues.

True, but we also don't exactly have a fearsome pass rush (see: Jackson, Lamar).

 

This game, like most playoff games, is going to come down to the trenches on both sides. We run the ball well, we'll do well. We stop the run and rush the passer well, we'll do well.

 

We do both, we'll win.

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

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.

Yeah, but Milano's biceps account for 75% of his body weight.

And with the weight of all our hopes and dreams on his shoulders I think he comes in around 285.

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.

Dang, what's it like to have such big hopes and dreams?

Milano is so good but man he is made of glass

I think he’s just made to weigh closer to 180. But I agree with the sentiment. That $27 million guaranteed stings.

I feel like the issue with the bills usually is they don’t have an elite pass rusher that is gonna cause problems for even the best olinemen in the league.  They’ve got quite a few solid-really good ones though that can win consistently with a good matchup and there should be good matchups out there

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.

Yes our hopes and dreams should weigh more... But he's a linebacker not a nose tackle.  I had to work within the parameters 😄

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.

I heard on an NFL show today, Chenal is expected to be the spy on Allen.  He is not keeping up with Joshua.

Yep...that's why I have this belief (hope?) that Beane uses that extra draft capital this year to move up and select a difference-maker for the defense.

Seems kind of crazy but those advanced espn metrics have ed just outside the top 10 in DT pass rush win rate and 9th overall in run stop win rate lol. Idk if I believe that but he looked good to me last week which is a good sign 

 

they’ve got the bills dline at 6th in pass rush win rate and 5th in run stop win rate overall somehow 😂

Who’s the all pro tackle?  Thuney is an amazing guard but he’s an ok tackle.  Or do you just mean in general terms haha

Reading his body language I don't think this is a huge deal. Fingers crossed for Rapp.
