LJ has 49 yards from 6 carries so far today. Amazing what he can do with an average O-line.

Chiefs oughta take a serious look at Justin Miller. This guy was a second rd pick by the Jets in 05, Could maybe help in the KR game. The Jets released him yesterday.

In 44 games he has returned 152 KO’s for 3,966 with an 26.1 yrd avg and a long of 103 yrds and 5 td’s.

I doubt he’d add much as secondary help, but could maybe contribute on coverage units.

Another thought on the possible, make that PROBABLE Chambers advantage. He did go at the Charger DBs in numerous practice sessions over the past couple of seasons, should know their tendencies and be able to exploit it.

Forget about any “edge” that Chambers might give the Chiefs defensively. Turner is too smart offensively to bring in a game plan Chambers may be familiar with. Besides, players move around all the time in the NFL, the only place I’ve ever seen an “edge” be displayed is in their one-on-one match-ups.

More importantly, the Chiefs need to stick with the fundamentals that won them the game against Pittsburgh. Good tackling, team play, and big plays. The O is still too inconsistent to be relied on. It is up to the D, and perhaps Mr. Studebaker, to show that the performance they put on against the Steelers can be duplicated against the Chargers, on the road. I don’t fear the Chargers D as much as I fear their O.

The Chiefs, when they were good, did it with D, not O (the Vermeil years were the exception). Super Bowls are won, and good teams made, with defense, period. You can count on one hand, with fingers left over, the number of teams who have achieved the ultimate goal with overpowering offense and average defense. For me, in this game, it is more important for the D to show they have the same intensity, than it is for the O. If the D shows up, then the O will have a chance in the second half, just as the did against Pittsburgh.

And God, I pray Studebaker is not a flash in the pan…

The Chiefs Defense should have an edge going into this game because Chambers is a Chief now and he knows all of the Chargers offensive plays and formations. Haley & Pendergast should of pumped Chambers all week for information. I just hope our secondary can cover these guys, they need to play a little tighter coverage with a good hit at the snap to slow them getting in thier routes. Maybe another good game.

Go Chiefs!!!
