tomfin2000 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 According to what I'm seeing on NFL.com, the Chiefs O-Line is every bit as bad as advertised. As an LJ owner in one of my keeper leagues, I hope they start to gel soon. Yesterday would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goopster24 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Bears offense really didn't get a chance to do much but Orton looked better overall than Grossman. Kyle's gotta have the edge right now. Offensive line also gave protection to both, even though banged up. Liked what I saw of Forte though, he was starting to get in a groove when he left the game.

Chief Dick Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Chan Gailey's play calling tonight was pretty good. He was moving Croyle around to take some pressure off the O-line. LJ looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgaddis Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Chad Pennington is really gonna help the Bears this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 He played a lot. Made a real tough catch in traffic. He's one of my favorite late round sleepers this year. All he has to do is beat out Darling and Webb for playing time. The Chiefs have a lot of good young players on offense and defense. It may not translate into wins this year but will soon.

He's going to be the #2, so draft him late and he'll probably get you the modest numbers you are thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 CHRIS WILLIAMS INJURY CONFIRMEDPosted by Mike Florio on August 8, 2008, 8:18 a.m. The Bears announced on Thursday night that rookie tackle Chris Williams, the fourteenth overall pick in the draft, has undergone surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back. And according to Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun-Times, some of the scouts attending Thursday night’s preseason game between the Bears and the Chiefs expressed skepticism regarding the Bears’ claims that Williams’ surgery was the result of a new injury. ”I heard that on the radio,” one scout told Mulligan. “Why are they lying about it? You know it will all come out.” Another scout echoed what we heard on Thursday: ”Our doctors said the guy would need to do something. I guess they were right.” Some of the scouts also said (as we also heard on Thursday) that Williams had been removed from multiple draft boards due to his back problem. ”We don’t know anything about [Williams being removed from other teams’ draft boards],” coach Lovie Smith said. ”He wasn’t falling off ours. This injury, from what I am told, isn’t a pre-existing injury, so that is what we’re going with. Injuries happen in camp, and you go from there. We were unlucky a little bit with this, but Chris will be OK and we’ll go from there.” The Bears also insist that Williams won’t be shut down for the year, which contradicts what he heard last night. And we’re not inclined to believe the Bears on this one, because they gain nothing from announcing in the preseason that they’ll get zip from their first-round pick in 2008, a year in which expectations for a team that made it to the Super Bowl only 18 months ago have been tempered, to say the least. Besides, one of the scouts told Mulligan that this is a big deal, and that it might plague Williams for a long time. ”That is a very serious injury for a lineman,” the scout said. ”I would be more worried about his career than this season.” If that’s true, G.M. Jerry Angelo might need to start worrying about his career, too. Probably out for the year. As if we needed another reason not to draft any Bears.

ETA, and that was with two backup Olineman too For those of us that weren't able to watch the game can you explain how 8 rushes for 18 yards (with a long run of 7) is pretty dang good?

muck Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, the only thing I know for sure about the game is that each of our new shiney rookie OTs were equally effective. :kickrock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
