And OMG, why can't we tackle Alex Smith? Man that guy keeps escaping somehow. We're still tackling like it's 2013.

He was sprung by a pulling guard, something that seems to be happening a lot more than last year.

McKinnon is an explosive athlete. I think he has been a little hesitant to cut it loose this preseason.

I'm with everyone else: McKinnon is starting to look nice.

Exactly. Nothing irritates me more than when we get our hands on the QB and can't get him down, especially little guys like Smith. Big Ben I can understand, kind of. Smith? NO!

Alex is a better athlete than people give him credit for! Still, it is frustrating to see when our defensive line cannot finish.

Smith isn't small. It was noticeable when he pushed greenway out of bounds after the INT. Smith is 6'4" and about 220. It's not like he's drew brees. Would be nice to get him down when we grab him though.

This defense with sacks and ints. looked pretty good to me. I see a night and day difference from last year.

Nice pick and return! Prater! Ok it was thrown right to him, but what a return.

Compared to the guys on our DL? Yeah, most QBs are fairly small. Regardless, when we get a hand or two on them, it's frustrating to watch them slip away like they're Big Ben. I've seen it far too much.

Think the KC WR ran the wrong route on the Prater int. Terrible throw but I'll take it.
