Chiefs at Cardinals PS G1 gameday thread 8-9-2025

[Garthshort]

I spent last weekend up at Saratoga Race Course in upstate NY. And, I heard a lot of this. "The horses are in the gate. And, they're off". "The Arizona horse stumbles badly coming out of the gate, and has dropped to the back. But, it looks like jockey Johnny Gannon has righted his horse and has him back on stride".

First run against our new Dline and it goes for 9 yards

Haven't watched the replay, but do we know who started on the front seven?

I don't recall exactly who was in for the first play

Someone else might know

???

 

[Harry]

I don't like that part of his game

He needs to get over that and run with confidence

Most backs grow out of this old college habit.

 

[Garthshort]

Not sure about the team, but the posters are in RS form.

 

[Harry]

lol refs in full season pro chiefs form. That penalty on Burke was ridiculous. So glad this is pre season

Burch showing some real fire

Burke just needs to adjust to NFL.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I certainly hope so

He has the skills and quickness

But the hesitation costs him yards on a lot of his carries

Murray just needs to adjust to NFL.

FIFY

 

[BritCard]

3.2 YPC but actually really good.

Y'all know he had 4.6 ypa in actual games right?

 

[BritCard]

So who stood out? Only seen highlights.

Remember my first day at Fan School and studying Fan 101:
Everyone loves the backup QB.

Is it just me, or did they change the size of the name lettering on the back of the jersey?

 

[Harry]

Burch looked good, watching the live feed Acho not only called him out several times on air but during breaks he said Burch was really popping.

Burke had some bad moments but recovered well.

I expect he makes the team but I gotta say dortch is not a lock? Dallas is a much better KOR, and can return punts. Kyler trusts Dortch and that probably gets him there as the 4th Wr

My favorite the NFL is a freakshow moment was when Jenkins made a play and they said "he's not very big, about 290 but he made a nice play." only in the NFL is 290 not very big.

I think Dortch is safe.

 

[Garthshort]

jones (cb) recognized the run - left his man and tackled the rb for a short gain up the middle - impressive

Jones 37 or 28?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Jones 37 or 28?

28 - jones was out covering the receiver who did absolutely nothing to sell the run - jones instantly ran into the trenches and and tackled the running back from behind - then he got hurt a few plays later

It's on again on Sunday. NFL channel replay around noon here so probably Sunday evening for you.

Someone told me that not ONE KM pass hit the ground. Is that true?

 

[Russ Smith]

3.2 YPC but actually really good.

And he was over 4 YPC before he had like 3 carries for no gain or a loss because there was no blocking. The play by play was the same on all 3, give to Benson hit immediately breaks a tackle but can't get much. The one he he tried to take all the way left I would blame him he should have just cut that one upfield, 2 of them he was hit 3 yards behind the LOS and either got back to the LOS or gained a yard. Had a 2 yard loss where he was hit right away.

the best run of the night for him was that wicked jump cut left for 8 yards that he nearly broke. and then got called back on 2 penalties. The 20 yard screen pass was excellent.

Looking at the play by play it looks like his last 3 runs were a 4 yard gain a 2 yard loss and a no gain, so he had 6 carries for 27 yards with a 20 yard screen before those carries.

The RB's are not even remotely an issue on this team

It wasn't like that. Some QBs we have had as back ups, you think YIKES, I hope the starter doesn't get hurt. Brissett actually looked competent if he was needed to start.

Russ Smith - Captain of the Trey Benson bandwagon.

We see you Russ!

We need another RB besides Conner we can use in short yardage. When Conner goes down, it will be a problem.

Yes…but one did hit the other team.

 

[CFLredzoned]

If the NFL wanted to get rid of touchbacks, they got what they wanted. Was there even one? It's so easy to pooch kick it to the 5. I like it though.
