Kansas City Chiefs Don’t Offer Alex Smith A lot of Protection
The Chiefs scored the winning touchdown early in the third quarter when Chase Daniel threw a 1-yard pass to James O’Shaughnessy. It would be the only time the Hawks reached the end zone.
Denver finished with seven sacks against Seattle. The Chiefs ran for 143 yards on the ground, averaging 4.5 per carry led by Charcandrick West and his 49 yards on six carries. The Seahawks stuck him at cornerback for this game, if only due to pressing need and the fact that he has a little experience there.
Tyler Lockett may have been the best of the bunch as a college player. The rookie out-paced Graham by just a handful of yards, finishing with 42.
Lockett is a rare breed of player, because not only is he one of the best and most instinctive return men in the game, he’s also a phenomenal receiver.
Joining the likes of Graham, Lockett and Doug Baldwin atop the receiving stat-sheet was converted quarterback B.J.
Lockett took the game’s opening kickoff and returned it 19 yards.
“You can just see that he is going to fit really nicely with us, ” Carroll said of Graham.
Shead was aggressive in coverage and on balls in the air in his return to his former position, after spending part of practice time this month as the first-team strong safety. In the event that Daniels makes the team, his nickname probably should have something to do with a Swiss army knife (your move 12s).
Hammond came into the NFL in 2013, and he is in his third year with the Chiefs.
The caveat with the touchdown pass to Maclin was that Maclin was lined up in the backfield as a running back for the scoring play.
At the very least it shouldn’t be another season without a wide receiver touchdown. Leading all receivers with three catches and 36 yards doesn’t hurt either. All things considered, how would you grade their play? That forced quarterback Russell Wilson to rush a throwaway pass incomplete. The Cardinals also paid tribute to Berry with “Welcome back, Eric Berry!” displayed on the scoreboard. The pass fell incomplete.
The second preseason contest proved an emotional event for Catapano, who started the 2014 season on the non-football injury list with a gastrointestinal-based virus before the Chiefs placed him on injured reserve with a concussion. Played as hard as I could, glad we got the team win. Regardless of the outcome, the game was valuable for both sides.
Gilliam was one of three new starters on Seattle’s mix-and-match line in Kansas City.
The game will be shown live on NFL Network and locally on Q13 FOX (channel 13 in Seattle) with Curt Menefee (play-by-play) and Brock Huard (commentary) on the call. “As for the interception Wagner said he was in the right place at the right time”.
