What We Didn’t See Gave Us Some Answers

[waving monkey]

The preseason is now officially over and mercifully, we can at least turn our attention to the games that will officially matter.

Of course, there is some business to take care of between now and then, starting Saturday when the roster is cut down to 53 players.

Now, what we saw in Thursday’s 14-6 loss to the Texans, didn’t really affect a ton of positions on the roster.

But if you read between the lines, or the player participation chart, you can find a few things out that you’ve been wanting to know.

With this game, it came down to a few things you didn’t see, rather than things that transpired on the field.

They get OL Pat Ehinger for Ward. Don't know anything about him. But I would bet he is better than Chaz Green.

This is a smart article. Love it and it;s not based on bias or player preference but actions of the team.

I've never been a big Eatman guy this is excellent stuff and not click bait nonsense.

If he’s better than a wooden cigar store Indian, he’s better than Green.

He's actually the Marcus Martin replacement.
He is an interior guy who can play both Guard spots.
Has been better as a run blocker than a pass blocker.
Has a lot of upside still as a recent high 4th round pick that tore an ACL.
Started for KC as a rookie before the injury.

Ealy was likely insurance at DE in case Gregory didn't happen or Dorance wasn't ready at all.
With both showing well he likely has to look for a job.
