Looks like So'Oto is gonna play this week.  Should be exciting to see. The biggest hole on this team is pass rush. HOPEFULLY, he can get some pressure. Remember, the Chiefs kept their starters in late in the last preseason game, and So'Oto looked very good in that game.
We all saw what Zombo did in his rookie year. Maybe So'Oto can do something similar. Only provide a pass rush. We shall see. He's raw, but he's got potential, imo.

Wasn't So'oto active for one game earlier this season? I think he was, but he didn't play any meaningful snaps. Anyway, from what I've heard, he will just be used for special teams against the Vikings, but I hope that's wrong. I want to see him rush the passer. He looked very good in the preseason, and it wasn't just against the Chiefs.

maybe they give him time with Walden and with Ponder playing it could be a big day for the d-line.

I'd contend that pass coverage has been the weakest link so far, but that's beside the point. Looking forward to seeing if So'oto can replicate that playmaking ability he showed in preseason.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I don't think so. I think it is predominantly due to pass rush. Sure, there has been coverage break downs and they need to be fixed, but a great pass rush would mask many of those break downs for sure. I feel as if it's easier for a pass rush to mask coverage break downs than coverage to make up for a lack of pressure.

I agree. I think the pass rush has been a bit lacking overall this season. It's not terrible, but it's not up to the high standards of this defense. They've really missed Cullen Jenkins. I think Neal would be an adequate replacement if he was healthy, but he's not. Walden and Wynn are okay, but they can't make up for Jenkins either. So'oto looks like a more dynamic player who may be able to fill that role.
