Chiefs Update 11/24
From the Truman Sports Complex
It was not a long day for the Chiefs players on Monday at their facilities. The players came in and looked at the tape of Sunday’s 23-point loss to Buffalo and then many of them were out the door. The coaches remained, trying to sift through the rubble and prepare a game plan for this Sunday’s trip to Oakland to face the Raiders.
The Chiefs continue to be on a pace to set NFL records for the fewest sacks in a season. After being shutout for the second game in a row, they remain stuck on six sacks in 11 games. That’s a pace to register 8.7 sacks over a 16-game schedule.
Again, the club record for fewest sacks is 15, and that came in the nine-game 1982 season. The record for fewest over a full season is 22, which came in 14 games. The lowest Chiefs total for a 16-game season is 23 sacks in 1988.
The league record for fewest sacks in a season is 11, set in the nine-game 1982 season by the Baltimore Colts. The record for fewest sacks in a 16-game season is 13, also set by Baltimore, this time in 1981. At the 11-game mark that season, the Colts had 10 sacks.
The only post-game injury the Chiefs made known on Sunday was WR Mark Bradley, who left the game in the second half because of further problems with a calf injury he’s battled for the last two weeks. Although he played against Buffalo, DT Glenn Dorsey was hampered by a knee injury he suffered last week in practice.
Inactive because of physical problems for the Bills game were LBs Donnie Edwards and Pat Thomas, CB Pat Surtain and G Adrian Jones. Right now, it would appear that Surtain has the best chance physically of being available this week. He took part in some of the practice sessions last week.
“The players came in and looked at the tape of Sunday’s 23-point loss to Buffalo and then many of them were out the door.”
That statment really bothers me. I would feel better with “The players came in and looked at the tape of Sunday’s 23-point loss to Buffalo and then many of them stayed late to work on individual weaknesses.”
I guess it’s all about the environment you create as a coach and organization. Yes, I know they need to rest as much as possible between games. I’m not suggesting they get the pads on on Monday.
Herm is their friend – you don’t work your friends
Herm and Gun for coach of the year!!
We better give them both big raises and extensions before they are lured away by San Diego State!
Well, if they are gone, maybe we can get Marcus Edwards. Going from assistant to head coach worked out so well for his dad.
Keep up the great work Coach Edwards. ALL of KC is behind you and we know that you will lead us back to glory very soon now.
AND NOW, Clark Hunt has RE-affirmed Herm’s The Man!
