Gameday thread Chiefs at Cardinals preseason 8-15-15

[BullheadCardFan]

I am so ready to kick off the season.

Will be keeping an eye on the young players to see who sticks out.

LT is playing the 2nd and 3rd quarters so he better show something. After reading what BA has said about him it sounds like he is not putting in the work.

“Lazy footwork, normally,” replied Arians, when asked about the reasons for the inconsistency. “Just not consistent mechanics.”

Some other things to watch Saturday:

— It’s about time for Logan Thomas. He will get a lot of playing time. This is where he has to make a push to convince the Cardinals he will fit. His performance in the preseason opener last year was what first caught everyone’s eye. We’ll see if he can repeat that, and push aside a lot of the questions that surround him these days.

— Arians said there were a ton of players he wants to see, and it’s hard to disagree. Among what I’ll be watching: Jonathan Cooper as starting right guard. Tackle D.J. Humphries. Outside linebackers Markus Golden and LaMarr Woodley. Summer sensation tight end Ifeanyi Momah. Wide receiver J.J. Nelson. Undrafted rookie cornerback Cariel Brooks. All those undrafted inside linebackers, including Gabe Martin (pictured below).

— Defensive coordinator James Bettcher moves from the press box to the sideline. He’s been calling plays in practice, but now we get a chance to see what it’s like in a game.

— It’s a great story from the Chiefs side that safety Eric Berry — who was battling cancer last year — will be back on the field and playing.

— Watch the defensive linemen. With all those guys, someone is going to be out by the end of the preseason, either through trade or being cut. That’ll make for an intense competition.

Cariel Brooks, my rookie sleeper. Honey Badger-like nose for the ball. Let's see how he looks in live action.

Awesome first drive. The Duke is back!

Wolfey said CP might only play one series. Looked good and stood in the pocket.
