omes!During Hawaiian Shirt Day at Kansas City Chiefs training camp Cameron Erving Jersey , I remarked to a few people sitting near me that I thought Chiefs fans were going to be pretty frustrated this season, as the Chiefs do their best to change Mahomes from a gunslinger to a pocket passer — in other words, to turn him into a real pro quarterback, instead of just a guy with guts and freakish arm strength.After watching the Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, I hereby withdraw this opinion.Don’t get me wrong.I think the Chiefs are doing that exact thing right now — and they are succeeding.I just don’t think anybody is going to notice — or even care.There are still a lot of tests ahead for this young man, and it’s likely he’s not going to pass all of them — at least not right away.But he seems to be able to learn how to be smart on the field, while retaining all of the adventurism that made him such an exciting quarterback at Texas Tech.Enjoy this, folks... because it’s just not something you’re going to see very often in the NFL.2. All hail Tyreek Hill!Seriously... is there anything this guy can’t do?Until I realized that Hill’s third touchdown of Sunday’s game had gone in the books as a pass reception instead of a handoff — a judgement with which I take exception — I actually wondered if Hill was going to throw a halfback pass for a touchdown on the next drive.Any non-Chiefs fans reading these words, please takerformance against the Chargers.I’d like to publicly thank the Atlanta Falcons for releasing Parker, opening the way for the Chiefs to bring him back on board.I shudder to think what the pass defense might have looked like if Parker hadn’t been on the field against the Chargers.5. All boo the Chiefs defense!People said Philip Rivers would pass for 500 yards against the Chiefs defense.He didn’t quite reach that mark, and I acknowledge it’s hard to feel good about a defense that gave up 547 total yards — not to mention 28 points — in the opening game of the season.There’s just no way around it.It was ugly.We could say, “Well Womens Chris Jones Jersey , the Chiefs are just going to have to score more points, and now they can do it.”But we’ve seen this movie before — back in 2003, when the Chiefs could score at will, and also couldn’t stop other teams from scoring at will.We knew the Chargers — with Philip Rivers, who may act like a baby when things don’t go his way, but is still a damn fine NFL quarterback — had the weapons to move the ball and score points.And he did.Not all teams are going to be able to do that — even against the Chiefs defense.Despite the obvious problems on defense during Sunday’s game, I saw nothing that leads me to change my mind about how this season will play out: at first, the defense will play badly, as all the new players — and there are a lot of them — get used to working together.It might take a few weeks — or even half the season — but they’ll figure it out.In the meantime, the offense will keep the Chiefs in their games, and maybe even win about half of them.But when the defense gets it figured out — in the second half of the season Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , when it matters most —the Chiefs will be a hard team to beat. Less than three years ago, Broncos running back C.J. Anderson played a major role in a Super Bowl run. Less than a month ago, Anderson was out of a job.But Anderson persevered, and it has paid off both for him and for the Rams.Snatched from the scrap heap on December 18 after a failed workout with the Chiefs and a half-cup of lukewarm Sanka with the Raiders, Anderson has become essentially 1B to Todd Gurley‘s 1A in the L.A. backfield.“He’s a guy that’s played in big-time games,” coach Sean McVay told reporters after Anderson completed his third 100-yard rushing performance in three games with the Rams. “You know that no moment is too big for him. This is a guy that’s had a big-time role and a Super Bowl champion team. He’s just got a great feel for the game. I think he did a great job again tonight. Was really just impressed with him from the jump 鈥? the way that he was able to come in, I guess it would be about a month ago now, and how quickly he was able to pick things up. Really smart, cerebral player and does a great job putting his pads down, finishing falling forward.”He’s fallen upward with 167 yards in Week 16 against the Cardinals, 132 yards in Week 17 against the 49ers http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-ron-parker-jersey , and now 123 yards in the divisional round against the Cowboys. The difference this time? Todd Gurley was healthy and effective, but Anderson still made an impact.“He’s been running his tail off and doing everything right,” quarterback Jared Goff told reporters regarding Anderson. “I think the last two weeks without Todd, he showed what he can do. Then, this week, having both of them is special and it gives you a real dual-threat of backs, and different backs. Todd is obviously what Todd is, in my opinion the best back in the league and can do so many things. Then, C.J. comes in and knows his role and knows what we need him to do and protects and does all that stuff right. It’s just been a really good combo.”It was a really great combo last night, with both Gurley and Anderson over 100 yards.So could Anderson envision this when he was unemployed a month ago? “It’s how you handle things,” Anderson told reporters. “For myself Womens Tony Gonzalez Jersey , I just always kept my head down and kept pushing. I always believed in my ability and what I could do. It’s not like I haven’t been in these positions before. It’s not like I haven’t been . . . a 1,000-yard back in this league, a Pro Bowl back in this league. I’ve always found a way to hold my own no matter what. I’d describe it like that.”We’ll describe it like this: It’s great to see guys who have become overlooked get chances, and to make the most of them. Anderson is, and he’ll get a chance to do it again next Sunday.
