short arms

Absolutely, they've had a couple of tough matchups while dealing with injuries/suspension.

Getting McDuffie and Gay back this week, along with a bye after, should really help this team, not just defensively either.

ah, so likely he has a drinking problem

Well, that #1 rush defense ranking was sort of fools gold. Taylor was obviously playing nicked up for the Colts and the Buccaneers pretty much outright abandoned the run game. That skewed the stats incredibly.

This has already been discussed. We all already knew that the Bucs game would skew the stats in a huge way. I doubt anyone even here in CP thought KC really had the number 1 rushing defense in the league.

But for the last three seasons KC started each season with the worst run defense in the league, then got better as the season went on.

This team is better vs. the run to start the season than they have been since Mahomes became the starter. We get Gay back this week, which is going to help out our run D, and if Fenton and McDuffie get back, well those two are much better run defenders than the two rooks we had out there last week. But getting Willie back is the real difference maker for our defense, both vs. the run and the pass.

Computer is showing that I thumbs-downed this post and I certainly did NOT mean to. Sorry, bud!

But but but CP told me he sucks

Drake Jackson has 4 sacks and 8 pressures in fewer than half the number of snaps as Karlaftis.

And that's not a knock on Karlaftis as much as it demonstrates the need for genuine depth and complementary skill-sets on the line.

It galls the absolute shit out of me that Veach and company thought they could get away with adding 1 player to a DL that was obviously not good last season.

No sacks = sucks

Amazing how pff credits him with so many pressures, yet he has an overall grade of 47.

I really wish we would have grabbed him in the 2nd round. ****.

means he can't get off blocks but on the rare occasion he does, he's getting a pressure

Going by PFFs own numbers, they had him with 6 pressures in week 1. So in the next 5 weeks he's averaged around 2 pressures a game. Gotta get that number closer to where he started.

Your expectation is 6 pressures per game?

LMAO

That would make him probably the best in the NFL, if not, top 5 at least.

If he's even getting 3 per game, that would be great.
