[Chiefs Hive] PFF currently ranks Derrick Nnadi as the worst interior defensive lineman in the NFL. I know you’re wondering, Mike Pennel grades out as the 71st IDL this season. Nnadi grades out as 186th.

Another Veach masterclass. I wonder if every night when he lays in bed if he says a prayer thanking john dorsey for drafting mahomes, kelce, and jones
I am already having a shitty day due to last night so this does nothing to me. Can’t say I’m surprised.
He was graded terribly the last 2 years before we signed him so this isn’t a surprise lol everyone and their grandma knew IDL needed more help
Not surprising at all.
Dropping Pennell remains one of the weirdest roster moves to me.
That the Bengals FO was smarter than the Chiefs makes it worse.
Nobody loves bringing the band back together more than this organization & staff.
Doesn’t matter if your best days are behind you or if you’re young with more talent. Familiarity is all it takes.
Chiefs wanted some roster flexibility to start the season but Pennel wanted to be a starter. However, the run game wasn’t entirely the issue last night, it was the pass rush. Omar was a late scratch and the lack of pass rush was really apparent this game. I’m more upset Cochrane is still on the team
Yea we know. It’s pretty obvious at this point
Peter Woods YOU are a Kansas City Chief
A few weeks ago I told my friend our roster was the Jags with a good qb, and we just got beat by the Jags with a bad qb.
The Chiefs are a great team when we aren’t playing ourselves.
You can’t have that many penalties and expect to win; team needs to focus up and get back to the fundamentals.
Just use one of the PS DTs and see what they could do. Tired of Nnadi getting run over and have 0 impact on the D-line
Lets make another trade with the jets for breece hall and harrison Phillips
Glad we traded to get him back
Bro, those are rookie n numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
Said this many times. What’s with Nnadi?! He’s had a whopping 5 whole sacks his entire career! 5!
Hasn’t had a single sack this year!!! Only 2 tackles. Last year he had only 3 solo tackles the entire year!! And that’s with Jones getting double teamed most of this time. Why do we continue to have him on our roster!?
Most rushing yards TLaw has had in a game since 2023, and was the 2nd most rushing yards he’s ever had in a game. We let him get a first down, or a touch down pretty much any time he wanted to pull it down.
It’s bad enough our Pass Rush is terrible, but they somehow also managed to not contain a guy that is not quick in any way, 1 week after we contained basically the hardest guy in the league to contain.
Feels like the entire team is just burnt out, and can’t play with any consistency, or without fucking up repeatedly every game.
A 2 year old could watch and see Pennel is the better player.
How much cap space is available? Is Myles Garrett feasible?
He’s got nowhere to go but up! Or the practice squad. Not sure which
Veach has done many great things for this organization. But trading for a player that’s way past his prime and that YOU LET WALK has got to be one of the dumbest moves in years.
Serious fuckups by the GM. Veach has got to get his shit together.
