Man kinda makes me a little neverous now taking them this weekend; however arrowhead is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL and i expect the cheifs to be pumped up once again and beat up on the seahawks
You can't take the Chiefs if Croyle starts, you just can't. The Seahawks will put 10 men in the box every play, and Herm still won't pass it.
Seneca Wallace is better than Huard, but only slightly. He's two miles ahead of Croyle.
Shaun Alexander did light treadmill no practice not expected back till game vs OAK on Nov 6 . . . If Huard plays, I believe KC wins unless SEA's D can create some point-generating turnovers . . . I'm gonna look at the turnover differential right now . . . also SEA's RT Locklear's out and SEA's allowed 21 sacks in 6 games not good for Wallace's first pro start. KC will want to rattle west coast rhythm early - jam the timing. I put down on KC early Monday at -3 . . .
about groin strains: earthlings generally rest them for a
couple of weeks but football players often play with them, limiting the amount of running. I expect that Huard will be a go and that the play calling will lean towards a running game for KC with quick-release, short, over-the-line passes. If Huard plays with a groin strain, it will limt KC's deep passing
attempts in an effort to avoid having him end up in scrambling
situations where the strain could be aggravated into a full pull.
What I'm going to check now is the heights of players on
SEA's defensive line and linebacker corps to see if there's
anyone gonna be sticking there hands up high in the air to knock down all those short 3rd and three pass attempts . . .
Sea's defensive height is on the ends where short passes get picked and run back for TDs. If Huard plays, and they do employ short routes when passing, hopefully they keep the
play toward the middle where there's less defensive height.
I think Sea's scoring here might be partially defensive if KC
plays toward the ends (Herman on Hallowe'en), but I still think
Arrowhead rattles the rookie and throws off the west-coast timing . . .
