Hidden: Preseason means little but to Herm it statisically means post: Prior to the Cheifs preseason governers cup challenge against the St. Louis Rams Herm edwards quoted stats on the correlation between the Steeler preseason wins and the year they went on to win the super bowl, as well as the Broncos. Pretty impressive stuff and, knowing Herm, completely accurate. In other words, win every game So...Cheifs 16 Rams 14. Green looked good as always. Johnson didn't get enough running time, but did alot with what time he had. A long drive and a three yard TD. Our third string RB impressed me a lot. Mitchell? Fast and some skills. the backup QB, Crowley was pretty impressive but will need NFL polish to come in for Green. He got a lot of work last night though and that's good. Great arm, just needs a litle more composure. Whan to ditch the ball etc. The Offensive line was getting pretty beat up all night. It'll be a long year for them if they don't pull it together. 1st, 2nd and 3rd string. Overall they looked better defensively, put some drives together on offense and played as a team. They had difficulty in the redzone (to many field goals) as always and the Off. line looked shabby but their linebacking crew improved by leaps and bounds. Two interceptions is a marked improvement for their secondary as well! Willie Roaf ain't comin' home. He's sitting on a big pot leaf in a pond somewhere croaking with the frogs searching for Nirvana and his new phone number. Ommmm.... 9-7 for the season. May be good enough for a playoff but not usually in our division (wildcard)? Preseason means little but to Herm it statisically means post season.
