Herman Edwards has stated that the starting QB will be a game-time decision as Trent Green is back at practice.  This will be the biggest decision that Edwards has had to make all season, and it’s his most important one.  Edwards needs to make the right choice and I think that is to start Green if he’s healthy.  Damon Huard did a fine job as Green’s replacement, but Green means alot to the Chiefs because of the last three seasons.  Green also has the know-how to win a big game, which is something we don’t know about Huard.

Tony Gonzalez is doubtful for this week’s game with the Raiders after injuring himself against the Dolphins.  Look for Jason Dunn to start in his place Sunday.  Look for Herman Edwards to be super-conservative this week without his top receiver.

The Chiefs looked like they came out of the locker-room flat, and by the time they flipped the switch…it was too late.  Damon Huard didn’t play too well as he completed 15 of 38 passes for 201 yards.  Larry Johnson carried the ball 18 times for 75 yards (4.2 ypc) and a TD.  Tony Gonzalez had a decent game with 6 catches for 84 yards.  Eddie Kennison caught 3 passes for 58 yards.

The defense played pretty well today, but the offense didn’t do their part.  DE Jared Allen had 7 tackles and a sack.  Patrick Surtain (8 tackles) and Keyaron Fox (9 tackles) each played well.  The Dolphins ran the ball 36 times for 117 yards (3.3 ypc).  The Dolphins completed 19 of 36 passes for 189 net yards passing.

When you’re playing against a bad football team, you have to come out of the locker room ready to beat them up and discourage them……but the Chiefs didn’t do that.

Starting linebacker Derrick Johnson is out for today’s game with an injured ankle.  Keyaron Fox will start in his place.

The Chiefs are flying high on a three game winning streak and they’ve averaged 32.0 points per game in the streak.  The Dolphins unloaded on the previously undefeated Chicago Bears 31-13 and look to keep the momentum going into this week’s game.

Look for the Chiefs to come out running the ball with Larry Johnson (816 yards rushing) like they always do.  It could be tough for Johnson this week as the Dolphins only have allowed 3.4 yards per carry this season.  If Johnson gets the running game going, Huard will be able to exploit the safeties with TE Tony Gonzalez (38 rec, 504 yards) down the middle of the field.  The Dolphins pass defense definately can be exposed in the passing game if Huard has time, because Jason Taylor will be rushing the passer and he’s been hard to stop with 8 sacks this season.

The Dolphins finally got smart last week and just handed off the ball to Ronnie Brown who is the best player on their offense.  The Chiefs don’t have a good run defense and allow 113.4 yards rushing per game and 4.0 yards per carry, so look for the Dolphins to try to pound them on the ground with Brown (621 yards rushing).  After the Dolphins establish their running game, and they will, look for Joey Harrington to exploit the old, slow secondary of the Chiefs.  Look for Chris Chambers to have a HUGE game against the Chiefs.

I think this game can go either way, but I’m leaning towards the Dolphins who started last season 3-7 and then won 6 in a row.  The Chiefs have been getting lucky as of late, but the luck runs out this Sunday in Miami.
