I wasn't sure exactly who blocked it at the time. Chiefs might not have won without that. Plus he had the forced fumble on CMC and was setting the edge and making key tackles.

Not against Leo. You don't move that guy. He controls everything :-)
Leo Chenal taking George Kittle to task to set the edge on Deebo's handoff. The defense keyed on these motions and was extremely sound in these moments. Great coaching and execution pic.twitter.com/4fnZWGQml1
Yikes. That's rough tape for Kittle. He just got beat.
Interestingly, that ALL NFL Podcast with Spags that DaFace posted, Spags talks about Chenal a good bit.
Hilariously he said they did a zoom call with him and he was all up in the Zoom camera totally into the interview :-).
But he also said he's pound for pound the strongest player on the defense and they were using him over the guard at the 3 technique to get the alignment they wanted. WTF? I've been a bit of a homer for him for awhile now, but watch out dudes. My homerism is about to become unabashed. [Reply]

I remember reviewing him after we drafted him and noticed that he was CONSTANTLY coming up the middle. Wisconsin was using him as a 3-tech a ton and that's how he got most of his sacks.
Dude is just so friggen powerful. You've got a Power 5 program using him as a DT and now one of the most creative DCs in NFL history using him as a chess piece to just physically defeat a bunch of plays.
Dude's a unique cat. A lot of teams would've tried to pigeonhole him into the Ragland run-stuffing MLB role and Spags never did. He just used him wherever he could put his strengths to use.

Damn we have a good coaching staff.
That dude would literally run through a wall if Spags asked him to , and win the rep. [Reply]

As an aside Pennel yesterday really rolled back the years. We desperately missed that ballast at DT and Nnadi going down was such a clear blessing in disguise.
Chenal and Pennel are my unsung SB heroes for sure. :-)
His "football instincts" are off the chart and what makes him sooooooo good along with his strength as many of you have stated.:-) [Reply]
