The Chiefs just got BAD news...

Kansas City Chiefs just got some bad news as folks we have multiple updates ahead of the huge game on Sunday and we got an update surrounding MoOneDrive that fans did not want to see but not only that a ton of other injury updates some confirmation about who's playing who's not playing as well as some interesting comments surrounding the Chiefs that have huge implications going forward as you are about to play a two and six Jets team with your last game before the trade deadline on Tuesday looming we're gonna break it all down but before we get into it Very quick reminder to hit that subscribe button. Let's start with the update. MoOneDrive, according to Andy Reid, is going to officially be out this Sunday. And it's interesting because it started with him on Monday saying there was a good chance. And then, you know, yesterday being limited, but there was rumblings about how he could be playing against the, you know, against the Jets this weekend to kind of ease him back in. But that's not true. He is out now. Andy Reid also ruled out two other defenders in Peter Woods, but also Omar Norman Lott. Now, Reid did say that they are progressing very, very well. It's just they're unavailable. Just that. Sorry. They're unavailable this Sunday, but still, that's one name in MoOneDrive. You're without another cornerback. Let's focus in on Delane for a second. As we know, the Chiefs took him six overall out of LSU. He played like it when healthy. He's very, very good. 72 snaps in week three, 78 snaps in week four, 65 in week six, 69 in week seven. And that last one was 100% of defensive snaps. This is a guy who's playing like tons, obviously, when he's healthy, but injuries have already riddled the beginning to his rookie season. In five games he has played this year, 17 tackles, three for a loss, five passes defended, and one interception, and even with the missed time, he's been in the field for about 287 defensive snaps. Now, he is still a rookie, and there's some people calling out Delane a little bit. I would like more out of Delane. I think he would tell you that, but that can't happen when he continues to sit on the bench. Injury that he's dealing with now is one that flared up a while ago and it was week one. I mean his third snap as a pro where he got the interception apparently that's the play where the shoulder flared up again because this isn't a new injury. Back in July Andy Reid said himself that Delane was too aggressive in the way he was hurt or he hurt himself out there and that it has bothered him since OTAs. He missed week two flared up again before Denver. We thought and I covered it in the channel that he was actually going to play in Denver but he missed that game. Now he He misses the Jets and again, let's go back to the quote that Andy Reid said it's just a matter of being strong enough to get out there there's a chance he'll be able to get himself out there this week so I don't want to say that he had a setback because he was limited Wednesday he was limited Thursday he was limited again today and then it came out that he was out but Reid did say at the very least like I mentioned that he's progressing but let's look at what happens when the defense is without him. In the four games he played start to finish, the Chiefs gave up 10 points, 27 points, 6 points, and 20 points respectively, which is about 16 points a game. And in the two games he missed, like I covered yesterday, they gave up 30 and 28. It's not all because of Delane, but missing him again is rough, mainly because he's a rookie. He needs as many reps as he could get. The big question for this upcoming Sunday is who's going to be covering him. Well, the same as Denver, veteran Christian Fulton and Noel Williams. The depth behind them did get thinner this past week when LeJarius Sneed went on the injured reserve and... There is some interesting, you know, rumblings because a lot of people do like this pairing back in October. I mean, you know, we kind of saw there was a lot of people internally and inside the organization calling them a pleasant surprise together, but there is one thing working for the Chiefs here and it is surrounding Garrett Williams. I can't really, I'm sorry, Garrett Wilson is Garrett Wilson today was officially ruled out this Sunday. So the Chiefs are without their top cornerback. And the Jets are without by far their best offensive player. Wilson has 43 catches, good for 527 yards this year. You take him away and the Jets passing game runs through Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Now, let's go down the list. Peter Woods, he is also out, and that does matter a lot as well. He's another first-round pick, 29th overall, which is the pick the Chiefs got from the Rams in the Trent McDuffie trade. He took a neck stinger early in Denver and played just three snaps, and he didn't practice once this week. Reid did call it a stinger, but said it's not expected to be a long-term thing. But he is out Sunday, and again, individually, sure, no serious injuries. And when they start to pile up in games that you need to win in order to win the division, it starts to get very dangerous. Then there's Omar Norman Lott, and to be clear, he is not a new injury towards ACL against the Raiders on October 19th of last year. No one expected him to play Sunday, but with his window being opened up now, there's a chance he actually plays next week, and he's kind of flourished as a rookie pass rusher, which is something this team desperately needs. The Chiefs have only six sacks or eight sacks started this season, tied for the fewest in the NFL. People are calling out Now, Chris Jones for being washed and George Karlaftis is the only chief. Or Karlaftis, sorry, was the only Chiefs with more than one. And of course, we saw what it looked like in Denver. You're up 24-13 going into the fourth. And the Broncos scored 15 points to the Chiefs' zero. And it's clear that this team needs more of a killer instinct. But the defense, they need a pass rusher and they need them soon. Because this team who started 5-0 is now 5-2, with Denver being a half game ahead of them in the AFC West. Here's why losing two tackles stings a little bit against the Jets. The Jets want to run the ball right now. Braylon Allen has 565 rushing yards. 504 of them have come in the last five games. And the last week, Las Vegas ran for 147 yards, which was a career high. And the Jets team, you could argue, is a little bit better than the record. Yes, they've lost three straight, but every one of them has been a one-score game, with them even putting up 33 points against Vegas. And yes, they're without Garrett Wilson, but Adonai Mitchell Seven catches, 142 yards, and there is some decent... Decent players on that team. On that note, speaking of running backs again, Brees Hall, he's going to be playing this Sunday, which means potentially more snaps for Chris Jones with less help behind him. Jets have their own pass rusher to worry about as well as David Bailey leads them with five and a half sacks and he's expected back from a groin injury. So folks, it is a little bit scary, just bad news all around today for the Chiefs, but it's not all bad. Because of course, Travis Kelce, he'll be good to go. Rasheed Rice, even though he's dealing with, I guess the bankruptcy talk. He's also good to go. He was limited, but he's going to be available. Everyone else is seemingly available, and this might be the week the run game... We'll be right back. Speaking of receivers, Mahomes today spoke out about a rookie receiver in Cyrus Allen and said, I think he'll continue to get more and more opportunities. He gets open. He finds a way to run great routes. Another name to keep an eye out on Emmitt Johnson. Is he going to be able to actually come back? That's like, you know, return to the form he was last week. I'm not going to go that far because that was a little bit crazy, but it's going to be it's going to be a fun one. And the rookie running back, he is rolling as well. Emmitt Johnson had 128 receiving yards in Denver, the most ever by a Chiefs rookie running back. And at the end of the day, the Chiefs are favored here they're 3-0 against the Jets at Arrowhead, and they've outscored them 83-22 in those games. At the same time, 10 points was supposed to be plenty in Denver as well. We saw how that went. So at the end of the day, folks, it's gonna be an absolutely electric game. But I think more importantly here, keeping an eye out on how they actually utilize Emmitt Johnson, especially with the trade deadline specifically looming right after this game, that's gonna be something to keep an eye out on and how they actually use him. So I actually think he's a very, very good young rookie. Let me know down below your thoughts on him. So folks, let me know where you guys land. At the end of the day, Delane, the news hurts because I was expecting him back and I don't want to take any games for granted right now, especially with the thin wide receiving room you have, your thin D-line in theory. But with Garrett Wilson out, you know, Fulton and Williams can survive this one, I think. And the real test is going to be in the middle. No Woods, no Norman Lott. Against the back, the Chiefs' own defensive coordinator is comparing to Derrick Henry. It's going to be a big game for Chris Jones and Tonga to hold up and hopefully they can take care of business because if Allen on the Jets runs for another 147, This gets uncomfortable fast, but I want to ask you guys and I want to know what worries you more Sunday, the secondary without Delane or the middle without Woods. Drop in the comments. See you guys in another video.
