Go Team...
Nick Williams I don't think was in real danger to lose a spot, but he definitely grabbed a spot on that DL. Some tough cuts coming on the DL. Dadi Nicholas continues to impress vs backups. Has some really good bend for a passrusher- I think he has a chance to maybe contribute if used correctly.
I'd be annoyed if we kept him over Reaves, besides the fact we'd be carrying 4 RB's + a FB in that scenario.still hard to believe we might be getting rid of Knile Davis...
Quarterback grades: Tyler Bray, 73.1
Bray solid in victory; maintains position on depth chart
It wasn’t a terribly encouraging performance from Bray, but due to the poor play of Aaron Murray and Kevin Hogan, the former Tennessee Volunteer doesn’t have to worry about his job being in jeopardy any time soon. His statline would have looked much better had it not been for three drops as he did a good job of keeping the ball out of harm’s way.
Top offensive grades:
T Zach Sterup, 84.1
G Jordan Devey, 78.3
TE Brian Parker, 77.1
WR De’Anthony Thomas, 76.8
T Reid Fragel, 75.3
Thomas flashes with four catches, 45 yards
On one hand it’s a tad disappointing that in his third season, De’Anthony Thomas still has to play in the final preseason game. But on the other hand it’s encouraging that he’s making the most of that opportunity. Thomas caught all four of his targets and gained 17 of his 45 yards after the catch.
Top defensive grades:
LB Ramik Wilson, 82.3
S Jeron Johnson, 81.9
LB Terrance Smith, 81.8
S Brock Vereen, 80.5
S Eric Murray, 80.1
Backup linebackers impress again
A couple of very clean days for the Chiefs backup linebackers. Undrafted free agent Terrance Smith made a nice stop on a screen early in the game, while Ramik Wilson was a quick read against the run, collecting three stops. Surprisingly, the pass rush was relatively ineffective despite four sacks. Outside of those plays, Chiefs defenders collected only three other total pressures.
