De¡¯Anthony Thomas¡¯ punt return against the Steelers was a trick play How about that 54-yard punt return by De¡¯Anthony Thomas during the first quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday?The one where he lost the handle on the ball while running down the sideline Mecole Hardman Jersey Mens , and then gathered it back in and gained another 10 yards?You know.This one.The return went all the way to the Steelers 10-yard line and set up the Chiefs first touchdown of the game.No disrespect to KOIN-TV¡¯s Joe Hoyt here ¡ª I thought exactly the same thing he did while watching the game ¡ª but it turns out that this wasn¡¯t the result of any special awareness on the part of Thomas.Instead, this was a carefully-rehearsed trick play that Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub had cooked up to counter any attempt by the Steelers to punt short and/or out of bounds if Tyreek Hill was lined up to receive.In his opening statement at Monday¡¯s press conference, head coach Andy Reid made a somewhat vague reference to the play, saying that the team had practiced it all week.But speaking to the media on Thursday, Toub was more specific.¡°We were thinking they were going to try to kick away from Tyreek Hill ¡ª which they did Mecole Hardman Jersey Cheap ,¡± Toub explained. ¡±They kicked a high, short kick. We had Tyreek fake like it was a deep kick ¡ª when it actually was a short kick ¡ª and then De¡¯Anthony was standing right there to field it. We were hoping that the coverage would run by him ¡ª which they did ¡ª and then we were able to get a big return. But you have to have trust and we have trust that those guys will field it and make the right decisions. Then they had the trust in the scheme and it worked. This was a well-executed play by those guys.¡±Now that you know this, watch the play again.That¡¯s exactly what happened.Nonetheless, Toub wasn¡¯t satisfied with his unit¡¯s performance during the first two weeks of the season.¡°We¡¯re fortunate right now, but we know it¡¯s a long season.It¡¯s a game-to-game thing. Things change. You kind of know where your weaknesses are Carlos Hyde Jersey , you just don¡¯t want them to get exposed.You try to fix them. There were a lot of mistakes made in [the first] game ¡ª a lot of mistakes ¡ª more so in the second game than there was in the first game.It just didn¡¯t hurt us. It didn¡¯t show up as a bad play.But hopefully we go back in the film room and we correct it and get it fixed for the next game.But there¡¯s always something. There¡¯s always something to improve on and you never know when something is going to show up.¡±Let¡¯s say it once more: you just have to love Uncle Dave. Day 1 of the Senior Bowl is about as jam packed as you can. Here were some tidbits from the weigh-ins:Weigh-insMississippi State EDGE Montez Sweat was the most impressive body of the day with his 6-foot-6, 252-pound frame. He also came in with the 36 inch arms. There¡¯s no body fat on Sweat. New Mexico State linebacker Terrell Hanks was the runner up with a 6-foot-2, 234-pound frame. The upper body of Hanks resembled that of you favorite super hero. The on-field performance was way more Clark Kent than Superman. Stetson tight end Donald Parham got noticeable gasps when he measured 6 feet 8 and 3/8 inches and 243 pounds. This is a rare case when a team undersells a player¡¯s measurables, as he was listed at 6 feet 8 and 222 pounds during the season. Normally a measurement like this would warrant 6 feet 9 or higher.Utah safety Marquise Blair came in at very slender 180 pounds at 6 feet 1 and a half. He was expected to be 15 pounds heavier, but his narrow waste reveals someone who will struggle to maintain or gain weight.Temple cornerback Rock Ya Sin was expected to be 6 feet 2 but came in 5 feet 11 and 3/4.Chiefs interviewsMedia sessionsUtah Safety Marquise Blair played junior college ball at Dodge City Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , Kansas.Washburn cornerback Corey Ballentine not only played in Topeka, but has also called it home since his family moved to the United States from Jamaica.Texas cornerback Kris Boyd intercepted Patrick Mahomes in college. They¡¯ve been competing since high school, as they both grew up in east Texas. North Dakota State running back Bruce Anderson models his game after Alvin Kamara, Saquon Barkley and Todd Gurley. South practice takeawaysTemple cornerback Rock Ya Sin was the best corner for the South.South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel was the best receiver for both teams today. He attacked the ball, is sudden and dynamic. Samuel got Ya Sin on a few reps.San Jose State tight end Josh Oliver impressed throughout the day. He¡¯s a fluid athlete with strong hands. He should be a day-two pick.Like Oliver Damien Williams Jersey , LSU tight end Foster Moreau had himself a day. While not quite the athlete Oliver is, he still ran crisp routes and showed strong hands. West Virginia wide receiver David Sills struggled to separate but has the best hands of the Senior Bowl class. He caught everything.Washington State tackle Andre Dillard moves extremely well for a tackle.Clemson wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has the body of an average high school football player on the field but gets open consistently. Mississippi State EDGE Montez Sweat used his length extremely well. He has a strong pass rush plan and flows smoothly from one move to his counter moves.LA Tech EDGE Jaylon Ferguson displayed powerful hands and the ability to move tackles. Old Dominion EDGE Oshane Ximines showed the best ability to get the corner throughout the day.West Virginia linebacker David Long had the best day in the linebacker group. He attacked well, and was smooth in drills.Texas A&M defensive lineman Daylon Mack and Kingsley Keke both showed a good first step and powerful hands.North practice takeawaysIt was a quiet day for Delaware safety Nasir Adderley. He was lined up all over the field and displayed good play recognition.Iowa defensive end Anthony Nelson was good against the run in team drills and looked to be winning consistently in one-on-one drills.TCU defensive lineman LJ Collier started a fight after trash talking on back-to-back winning plays. He won in one-on-ones with good hand usage. Western Illinois defensive lineman Khalen Saunders has a good first step, relentless motor and looked like he belonged with upper tier talent.UMass wide receiver Andy Isabella flashed consistently with excellent twitch, good hands and long speed.NC State wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was the best receiver for the North team Derrick Thomas Jersey , winning all over the field. In a David-versus-Goliath type of battle, the behemoth tackle Kaleb McGary dominated 6-foot linebacker Sutton Smith who is transitioning from EDGE to off-ball linebacker but was given a chance to fail miserably off the edge.Stetson tight end Donald Parham can¡¯t get out of a three-point stance but shows some intriguing ability as a large, and I repeat, large target in the pass ground. Penn State cornerback Amani Oruwariye had an up and down performance. Still very intrigued by the skill set.
