This doesn’t sound great
Not panicking but yeesh. Don’t like hearing this from Spags. CB feels a lot like WR this time last season.

Sure but he hasn't played a snap of preseason and won't because they are worried he will get hurt. I think he has even missed some camp time due to knee soreness.
Letting him go rather than signing him to big $ was the right call. |

It's amazing, isn't it? We're coming off back-to-back SB wins with one of the best secondaries in football - even without Sneed, whose game I loved - and people still wring their hands fretting over nothingburgers.

Williams and Watson have played a lot of good football in meaningful games. Not the least bit concerned.

Jaylen Watson hasn't played in either pre-season game?

I’m worried about two things, the fact that no clear #2 has stepped up at corner (in today’s league, that can be particularly damaging even to an otherwise great defense, ala Philip Gaines in the top Sutton years).
But an under the radar factor giving me concern is Bolton’s health. He was absolutely elite in the 22-23 playoffs and was involved everywhere on the field. He had a real argument for MVP against the Eagles. After rewatching the Bengals and Eagles games, I realized just how much his wrist injury impacted him in this year’s playoffs. He was still important as QB of the defense, but he clearly wasn’t the game changing impact player he was the year before. The fact his wrist injury might now be a nagging one is something to keep an eye on, especially now that Gay is gone and our linebacking crew is the thinnest it’s been since 2020. |

A nearly impossible task
replace the cornerback play of O.G. L'Jarius Sneed Last year Sneed had one of the best seasons I have ever witnessed a CB having, not just on the Chiefs but on any team. Gonna take a committee to fill those cleats Last year Spags could just put Sneed on WR1 and consider them wiped the **** out hopefully one of these young bucks can step up and shut some WR's down |

we'll be fine. Obviously they won't be able to play the same style of defense without a guy like Sneed locking everything down but Spags is the GOAT d-coordinator and there's still lots of good talent in the secondary. Including one of the best CB's in the entire NFL.

I think a good strategy with this secondary would be what Billicheck did when he had Revis.
Let McDuffie erase opposing #2 WRs and then bracket opposing #1s with the next best corner and a second defender. |
