Thanks for the laugh on Monday before work!

SOB I totally forgot that.

Wow! That's an impressive list on which to be included.

I did notice that on many plays, Jones got doubled by linemen and George got a chip by a a RB or TE. That tells you which Chiefs the other team thinks are the biggest threats.

He looked amazing on Sunday.

We kept talking about how Jones would make sacks for Karlaftis. Fellas, Karlaftis got a sack for Jones yesterday.

That spin he made (an actual spin move, not the Shart Pirouette) put that LT in a blender and you saw Fields slam the brakes to keep George from pile-driving him - only so Jones could do it instead.

If that's Shart on the edge, Fields gets the corner and probably runs for 4-6 yards.

Karlaftis got Jones one step closer to his incentive by being a MUCH better player than the pile if shit we mercifully and finally jettisoned from this roster.

Frank Clark taught him that spin move. Those words straight from George’s mouth. Put some respect on his name.

This defense is so much better with all the guys who are young and ready to run through a wall every game. Previous Chiefs defenses had too many guys that were not like that, top heavy. Now Spags can tell players go 100 miles an hour and sit if you don't.

Has Tribal posted in this thread yet this season? :hmmm:

It's fun watching them come together. Anudike-Uzomah didn't do much with his snaps yesterday, but considering what he has already shown I think you can still be really excited for him moving forward.

Once everyone is healthy, available, and up-to-speed, KC just has so much depth at the DL spot. They can really run in waves and maximize effectiveness of guys.

yeah, my favorite whipping boy, Malik Herring, looked game yesterday and showed up more than FAU did.

He's young; long way to go yet. As you said, he's flashed enough already to be excited about his potential.

Anybody else see him catch Justin Fields from behind? That's...not easy.

Yeah he's right up there with The Shart for coverage too!....

It’s so promising to see so many young players make strides under Cullen. Pretty much every single DL player is noticeably far better now than before he took over. This DL is going to be NASTY towards the end of the year and going forward.

You NEVER want to lose a guy like CJ95, but if we do end up trading him in the offseason, I have high hopes for the player they choose to replace him being coached by a guy that has proven to be able to bring the best out of his players.

My fear is losing Cullen to a team wanting him as their DC while also losing Jones to a trade.
