2024 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Post-Draft

2024 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Post-Draft in my opinion:

NFL West Coast passing scheme, and zone running scheme, mixed in with college option, misdirection plays, and spread offense. Every team has 11 players on the field at one time. How many at each position varies due to the situation.

QB: Patrick Mahomes

RB1: Isiah Pacheco (goal line and short-yardage Running Back)

RB2: Clyde Edwars-Helaire (our pass receiving Running Back)

WR1: Marquise Brown

WR2: Xavier Worthy

WR3: Rashee Rice

WR4: Justin Watson

WR5: Skyy Moore

WR6: Kadarius Toney

TE1: Travis Kelce (pass-catching Tight End)

TE2: Noah Gray (blocking Tight End)

LT: Wanya Morris

LG: Joe Thuney

OC: Creed Humphrey

RG: Trey Smith

RT: Jawaan Taylor

As you can see above, we’ve made a couple changes on the offense, especially our Wide Receivers and Offensive Tackles.

Seems like we haven’t had stability at OT since Eric Fisher, and Mitchell Schwartz.

…And, we have to continue bringing in new receivers through the draft or free agency because after Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill, our receivers leave much to be desired, and/or keep getting in legal trouble.

X-Men '97

So normally I don’t post about cartoons, or things I used to watch back when I was a kid in the nineties. Anytime I do watch a reboot show of the shows I used to watch as a kid for the nostalgia, I’m always left disappointed like most people born in the eighties, who grew up during the eighties, nineties, and 1st decade of the 2000’s. You have a certain expectation that the show will be like the original but it never is.

I found one exception. I stopped watching cartoons when they were all taken off the air in the late nineties, when Fox had Batman, Gargoyles, X-Men, and Spider-Man. The latter 2 are the 2 I followed.

With that being said, I found my one exception to every rule. X-Men 97. The original ended and felt unfinished (‘ 92 – ’97). I used to watch the original with a friend of mine I’ve known since kindergarten. He’ll back me up on this. I’ve also tried to discuss this with other people in private messages. What I like about X-Men 97 is it picks up right where the original show left off. Hence the title. And, it has all the original theme music, and most of the original voice actors, and the newer voice actors learned the original voices to make it authentic.

I’m always worried when they want a reboot of something that was popular because I’m always leery of the creative team ruining certain legacies, and what made the show good in the 1st place. But for now, I’m pleasantly surprised.

I couldn’t believe the plot twist at the end of episode 6. I won’t ruin it for others who haven’t seen it, but those mo foes got dark, and twisted. My 8 to 13-year-old is doing a happy dance because I remember it being as cool as it used to be, but now I am going to need therapy.

I was always on the Wolverine train. I like a guy whose skeleton was made out of a metal not of the Earth and impenetrable by any Earthly weapon, has heightened senses like wild animals, could heal himself from pretty much anything, which also made him age at a slower rate because most diseases didn’t affect him. Not to mention, claws that come out of your knuckles.

Guess I’ll have to wait for season two next year. I’m on board.

2024 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

From the age of 5, or 6, I've always been around football.

From a schematic standpoint, I've had high school, college, and pro coaches read my 50-100 page book of notes, and love it.

...And from a personal standpoint, I really think I can help the men become better people because of my life experience with cerebral palsy.

2024 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters Pre-Draft

Our defensive scheme is a 4 - 3 (4 Down Linemen, and 3 Linebackers) base 7 man front with a 1 gap Under Front alignment (Defensive Line shifts to the weakside, and the Strong Side Outside Linebacker moves up on the line of scrimmage. That makes the defense look like a 5-2 with 43 personnel. Sometimes, the Strong or Free Safety will drop down close to the line of scrimmage, and the defense becomes an eight-man front, or what’s known as the 46 (Brian Dawkins in Philadelphia, and Justin Reid in KC). Now everybody in the NFL does a little bit of everything because it’s the pros and a copycat league. But our defensive coordinator comes from the Jim Johnson tree (‘99 – ‘08 with the Philadelphia Eagles) and prefers a 2 High Safety alignment with Press Man Coverage, mixed in with Man Blitzes, Double-A Gap Blitzes, and Zone Blitzes depending on the situation also.

2024 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters in my opinion before the draft:

LDE: George Karlaftis
LDT: Derrick Nnadi
RDT: Chris Jones
RDE: Felix Anudike-Uzomah
LOLB (SLB): Leo Chenal
MLB: Nick Bolton
ROLB (WLB): Drue Tranquill
LCB (CB1): Trent McDuffie
RCB (CB2): Joshua Williams
CB3: Jaylen Watson
FS: Bryan Cook

SS: Justin Reid

In the Nickel (5 DBs) against a spread offense, take out Drue Tranquill, and replace with a Slot Corner. Jaylen Watson.

In Dime (6 DBs), take out Leo Chenal, and Drue Tranquill. Add another Safety, Deon Bush, along with Jaylen Watson.

Super Bowl LVIII Reaction

Even though this year was a bit rocky, I feel like we backed into the matchup of the 2 best teams in the league this year.

I feel like the NFC is the weaker conference with San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Dallas being the front runners easily in that exact order.

The AFC is a stronger conference because everybody’s got a Quarterback.

The Chiefs as the defending champions should’ve been a lot stronger during the season, but coasted their way through the season. But they ultimately ended up where they should have been, and with the outcome most expected them to have, as being Super Bowl champions back-to-back.

They just had way too many distractions. Taylor Swift, Wide Receiver issues, penalties and/or injuries by the Offensive Tackles. We should have beat teams by 50, but we still won the biggest game of the year. So, as Brett Veach said at the rally, if this is what an off year looks like then I’ll take it.

For the 1^st three quarters of the game, we basically played like we have all year. Pacheco runs the ball, we rely on our strong defense, while Butker is the only player that scores for most of the 2^nd half, and Tommy Townsend our Punter helps us play field position.

I knew it was going to be back and forth all game when both of the star Running Backs for each team fumbled the ball which neither do very often. And then the 49ers busted out trick plays like a throwback pass to Christian McCaffrey for the only touchdown of the 1^st half.

Freak occurrences started to happen. Greenlaw tears his ACL hopping up and down on the sidelines and then running onto the field before the trick pass!? The muffed punt by the Niners that really turned the game in the Chiefs favor in the 2^nd half. The touchdown pass, right afterwards. The Chiefs offense looked like the highflying offense we are used to for a moment, but they still couldn’t punch it in for touchdowns on a regular basis until overtime. The Niners kept sacking Mahomes, we took the points with Butker, and Mooney matched Butker field goal for field goal for a little while. Mahomes picked up a few key 1^st downs with his legs, even though he’s not the fastest guy. 

And then, like MeCole Hardman, we ALL blacked out from excitement after the game-winning touchdown. The same MeCole Hardman, who did absolutely nothing during his 1^st go around with the Chiefs, and was shipped to the Jets, comes back and becomes a Super Bowl hero.
