@rockchalkjayhawk Steele looked good on the few carries I saw. Runs hard. Steele and Pacheco could really wear down a D. But it’s hard to garner much from one pre-season game. It’s all smoke and mirrors until week one. Pseudo-football.
Yea, agreed. One game hard to judge. He didn’t look very big or strong though.
I kinda had the game on in the background, so maybe I missed a few plays and shouldn’t judge him yet. The running play I saw he didn’t look too good. His blocking looked really bad and kinda clueless.
Oh well, new profession for him. Gotta learn.
But crap, the bigger news was the Hollywood Brown injury!!!
@#$&*±%!!!
Why can’t we have nice things?
Hello JuJu?
I meant Steele the undrafted FB. Zammit is the HB/rugby player and sucked.
Edit didn’t see @mayjays post. Sorry for the duplicate

Ha, we’ve been drinking the same medicine.
-
I’ll go take another look at the game to figure out who the hell i was thinking about.
I just remember one new dude in the backfield trying to block, and it didn’t look so good.

This post is deleted!
-
@FarmerJayhawk Oh, how soon I forget. Yes, he’s a Jayhawk! And he’s a Bear. I just got a feeling things are on the upswing.
-
@mayjay said in 2024 NFL Season:
@rockchalkjayhawk Do you have Steele (UCLA fullback) confused with our rugby experiment? Steele blasted his way through the defense and scored oour only TD, carrying guys to the goal line. The rugby guy had some trouble.
OK, I went back and rewatched Rees-Zammit’s plays. My only confusion was that i thought he was going to play FB. I hadn’t read enough about what they plan to do with him. I guess RB, WR and special teams for now.
So, he didn’t really stand out with positive plays. Not enough to truly make a judgment on him, but his blocking needed some help.
Always exciting to have a new player, so fingers crossed.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Super Bowls aren’t nice things?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk LRZ is practice squad material. He also kicked off one time during the pre-season game to have an extra tackler out there. Special teams might be his way to the roster, but I doubt it’s as a kicker.

Steele is solid. I hope he makes the team. He was TOUGH every time I watched him in college and that showed in the preseason game as well. Solid bench option.
-
Booker had a really nice hit in Hard Knocks. He’s gonna be terrific for us
-
Caleb W seems to be real deal, Bears have a bright future.
-
@AsadZ Poles is putting together a nice roster.
-
Ha, as predicted…JuJu is back!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk So, 2 years in a row the Chiefs get back a WR at a minimal cost who had left to get more money in free agency.
-

makes perfect sense, right?
I hope JuJu makes the team, is still athletic, and can catch a ball and contribute more consistently than guys like Moore, Watson, Ross and Remigio.
I truly like the athleticism of Kadarius Toney. I’d like to see him stick around. Not sure if he will, but maybe they can find a way for him to succeed. It seems Andy likes him as well.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Toney is dangerous, very explosive, but also very prone to boneheaded mistakes. Two penalties on one play this preseason, too many passes hit his hands last year that the defense caught. And then there is that electric return two super bowls ago that set up the game saving drive.
-
@dylans Kind of like a Wheel of Fortune spinner where the “Bankrupt” spaces increase randomly to about 60% of the wheel.

Exactly! He can’t possibly be the first boneheaded athlete to play in the NFL. Simplify things for him. Make use of his athleticism. Andy’s smart, but hasn’t figured him out yet.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I never want to see Young Joka play a meaningful snap. - pass hit his hands in the first game last year and ends up a pick six that cost the game. Lined up offsides and nullified Kelce’s lateral back to Toney touchdown - lost by a score again. This pre-season he had two penalties on one play.
It’s just hard to pass up on his potential, but his down side last year cost the Chiefs at least two games!
Then there’s Skyy Moore - he doesn’t really hurt you, but has no way to help either. I’d cut both. No upside to Skyy and too much downside to Toney. Good Toney is electric, maybe they can trade him?
- I believe the Chiefs will keep Toney since his salary is guaranteed and he has high upside. We’ll find out today!
-
Well there ya go. Toney got the boot.
And the rugby dude too.
-
What do Chiefs fans think about FAU?
I was expecting more from him in yr 2 but did not see much growth at least in pre-season games.
Is he a bust or needs more time to develop?
-
Chiefs released QB Chris Oladokun. Released WR Kadarius Toney. Released WR Justyn Ross. Released Louis Rees-Zammit. (courtesy ESPN)
Sorry to lose Ross. They also picked up a TE and a LB today by trading '25 and '26 seventh round picks. Not at all sure what that is all about.
-
@AsadZ Developmental first round pick trending towards bust. Hope he has a good financial adviser.
-
Bean and Fairchild didn’t make the cut. Bummer.
-
@FarmerJayhawk And that’s after this analysis that had many expecting Bean to make it through:
https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/colts-jason-bean-analytics-expert-top-performer
-
Booker made the Bears’ roster.
-
And Puni made it onto the 49ers.
-
More background on the Chiefs’ new LB, Cameron Thomas (3rd rd pick by the Cards in '22). More of an edge rusher than LB.
https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2024/08/27/chiefs-trade-cameron-thomas-cardinals/
-
If Bean can get good NFL QB coach, I am confident that he will become a very serviceable backup QB. He has tremendous potential, and he has speed.
He can make plays.
What he needs is solid coaching to avoid stupid mistakes and mediocre plays.
-
Also, per CBS Sports, Bean “injured his shoulder on his one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Colts’ preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday. If he clears waivers, Bean could be invited back by Indianapolis to be on the practice squad, or he could look to take his talents elsewhere.”
-
@Gorilla72 wonder how bad the injury is and if it’s his throwing shoulder?
-
Louis Rees-Zammit signed with the Jags practice squad.
-
@mayjay kinda sad we couldn’t develop him
-
Interesting…CEH is not on the active roster, out with PTSD.
I didn’t know this, but he’s apparently traumatized after killing a dude who was trying to rob him in college. That sucks.
Not to be callous, but will the Chiefs somebody else?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Perine
-
No way the Chiefs lose back to back season openers. I can’t wait for Thursday Night.
-
I imagined the opportunity to 3peat was rare, but it is not: since 1967 nine teams have won back to back SBs. Man, what a great time to be a Chiefs fan. Get it done Chiefs.
-
Clyde was honored for saving a kid during the shooting after the parade, he’s a hero! Gonna pray for him.
-
Game day!
-
So how many of you had to pony up to buy Peacock to watch? Effers!
-
Not me, have nbc. Had to last yr. Was only 4.99

Whatever it costs it will be worth it to watch the KC Chiefs.
-
@stoptheflop we have different opinions on this. I’m to the point where “they” can quit charging for watching sports or I will give up watching sports.
I hear there are other options in life. Hiking, boating, fishing, etc. Screw the professional money grubbers.
-
@nuleafjhawk doesn’t boating and fishing cost, a license and gas?
-
yea, sucks for people like me that aren’t in the KC area, where i assume it’s on regular TV?
Same old same old, but all these different services keep adding up, yet my salary stays the same!
Oh well, as @stoptheflop said, worth it for the Chiefs.
-

The game is on NBC, so everyone should be able to find it.

MOTHER EFFER!!!
I read somewhere that it was strictly streaming on Peacock only! So i thought i had to order Peacock!!!
$#@!%%^^^^^%$$##
I’m either a dumbass (likely) or was duped. Grrr.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk not to make u feel worse, I said I had nbc. Should we start a go fund me?
-
Wow, the stadium is rocking. Let’s hope the Chiefs play up to the level of excitement for this game.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk are you watching on peacock or nbc? Maybe taking turns. I’m giving you a hard time. 🫶
Make sure you cancel peacock right away, you will still get it for 30 days.
Added bonus you get to watch Philly and whomever
