  Not such big surprises on the Chiefs’ 53, but a few things that caught my attention: 1) Moving on from Emari Demercado speaks to a couple things: the Chiefs see Ken Walker as a three-down back, and they love what Emmett Johnson has showed. Brashard Smith is a wild card Andy Reid can move around on offense, and he’s KR2. Best return in a while for KC on Friday night. 2) Cutting Andrew Armstrong means the Chiefs think he can pass through waivers, which is possible. Remember this is a second-year player, not a rookie. It also speaks to Nikko Remigio, who Dave Toub trusts better than anyone on the roster to catch a punt. The Chiefs have played in 22 one-score games the past two years alone. Even one muff matters. We’ll see on Armstrong. 3) Esa Pole was cut, and here I’d echo the Armstrong point — I think he probably gets to the practice squad. From posts (tweets, whatever), it seems like fans are out on Pole, anyway, but a lot of the same fans were upset when Pole was claimed last year…

  • 13h Mike Klis (X) #Broncos ILB Alex Singleton has been fined $11,492 for his late-hit penalty on KC’s Emmett Johnson in 4Q. He will appeal as all fined players will. This year, players can be refunded fine money at season’s end if they don’t demonstrate a pattern of similar infractions. For refunds, players must first appeal.

  • 5d Matt Lombardo (Bluesky) Kenneth Walker has 191 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. Emmett Johnson has shown he’s capable of being a lightning quick change of pace back. This is shaping up to be the most balanced and dominant backfield the Chiefs have had in the Mahomes era.

  Yessir! It really feels like Kenneth Walker and then adding Emmett Johnson in the draft is telegraphing them moving towards a physical ground attack, following a broader trend across the league while taking tons of pressure off Mahomes. Knew it’d be up your alley!
