I have heard so many people say the Chiefs are going to the Superbowl after Friday nights game. Hold on people. I am excited about what I saw, but it was a pre-season game against Arizona. Next week against St. Louis shouldn't be any We turned the corner contest either.
Next, there were a lot of good things to see. I think Pioli while taking a shot at Haley pointed out the first thing I wanted to see. The team looked organized. The play calling go int, the team performed like they knew what they were doing. There was on busted play, but over all the team has improved dramatically simply from the Coaching change.
I love the play calling. The 4th and one where the defense thought we were just trying to get them to jump, then the shift to 4 wide outs spreading out the defense to get the QB sneak was interesting.
The right side of the line, HELLO.... Please run Right as much as possible. Eric Winston improved that offensive line beyond measure.
I think Cassel did a great job reading the blitzes that Arizon threw at us. Arizona was not playing Vanilla defense. They blitzed a corner and got burned for it by a nice read and dump off to Hillis for the TD. I heard that Cassel made that audible. Something he was not allowed to do before. Not sure if he did or not, but I tend to think they knew where to attack based on what Arizona was showing.
Back up QB's are still very suspect. Neither Quinn or Stanzi made me feel like they were capable of starting yet alone being a long term back up for us if Cassel gets hurt.
Receivers looked good and I think we have 4 very good running backs.
Tribio looked good as did our line backers. That 3rd and 1 stuff was great stuff to see. I wouldn't be surprised if Poe is 3rd string or lower after this week. J. Powe looked much better and had some great penetration.
Not sure why we are carrying a third kicker/punter but he was not an improvement over Colquitt or Succop.
