Title: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on August 23, 2008, 10:29:58 pm I'll go out on a limb here and give my Game Ball to Jason Allen. Multiple picks tonight. I guess being demoted to second string motivated him to play hard. He has been a pleasant surprise all training camp.
Honorable mention to Jalen Parmele for some pretty tough running on the drive that iced the game. Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: IowaDolfan on August 23, 2008, 10:33:21 pm Allen played a great game he gets my vote
Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: Philly Fin Fan on August 23, 2008, 10:35:14 pm I didn't get to see the whole game. Did Allen have two picks? CBS Sportsline only has him with one.
Also, if you read Sparano's remarks, they didn't move Allen to second team because of his play. They wanted to see more of what Crocker could do, since he had been playing against the opposition's 3rd and 4th stringers. Its was kind of hard to gauge Crocker's level of play. Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: DolFan619 on August 23, 2008, 10:45:08 pm I'll give mine to CB Michael Lehan. He's had a rough offseason, so it's nice too see him getting in on the action and getting an INT.

that being said, TONY SPARANO. the team finally played a complete game in all aspects, and this team was clearly well prepared. honorables to ginn and parmele. Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: StL FinFan on August 23, 2008, 11:10:21 pm I am going to go against the defensive grain and say Ted Ginn Jr.

That's what Sparano SAID...... but apparently Allen had not been performing as well in practice this week. We don't know for sure, but I'm willing to go with my gut feeling, as that's what Sparano has done previously.

Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: landlocked on August 24, 2008, 12:25:47 am I thought Phillip Merling(97) looked good tonight,also.He showed a strong inside presence stuffing the run and pressuring the QB.
Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: yuppi on August 24, 2008, 09:35:07 am the whole entire defensive front seven
they snuffed larry johnson and had croyle running for his life all night They have a a whole bunch of LB/DE hybrids... The only way to really run on this team is to use speed at angles cause they aren't too fast. Title: Re: Game Balls- Chiefs (Preseason) Post by: Ghost350z on August 24, 2008, 11:07:40 am I give the whole team a game ball. Its been a looong time since us fans have had so much fun watching them play. We have hope, and now I can look forward to the future.
Thank you Parcells, thank you! |
