- Chad Pennington: 300 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 FL. He's now made it through 17 games on his reconstructed shoulder(s) and is probably now a viable #2 heading into next year. I'll use this bullet to give props to Cotchery and TE Chris Baker as well. Not saying 'draft them', tho!
- Brian Westbrook: 141 yds rushing, 1 TD, a couple catches. McNabb will be back behind center next year, but here's hoping Andy Reid or whoever calls the plays realizes everything runs better when you... umm... RUN!
Who depressed me
- Shaun Alexander: 24 rushes for 69 yds (2.9 yds/rush), 0 TD. Oh, you thought he might catch a few, too?
- Larry Johnson: 13 rushes for 32 yds (2.5 avg), 5 rec for 29 yds, 0 TD. Well, maybe that'll get the letdown out of his system and he can start fresh next season.
- The rest of the Chiefs O: do I need to type in the gory details? Green was horrible. Herm had zero desire to bring in Damon Huard, adjust his gameplan away from running LJ into the line on every play, or both. And remember a few days back where I slammed Sportsline for recommending a close look at #2 WR Sammie Parker? Yeah, who's the bitch now?! (Yeah, I just used profanity, that's how jacked up... err... JACKED UP... I am)
- Brandon Jacobs: 2 rushes for 8 yds. More telling - towards the end of the game he was NOT on the field for 3rd and short. Yeah, it WAS Tiki's day, but still...
- Jason Witten: 3 rec, 57 yds, 0 TD, 1 FL. Okay, not 'depressing' but I'm VERY sensitive to Witten's performance this year, so why stop now?
Who confused me
- Corey Dillon / Laurence Maroney: combined, they were a decent back. Who the hell knows what this means for next year, though. May want to draft one of these guys around where you'll be drafting the Denver backs next year *shrug*.
