Think people are blowing the 'TE is the weakest group' out of proportion considering there are usually 2 TEs max on the field at a time and one of those on our team is the best in the NFL. |

It’s a single position and we have the best one in the league getting 85% of the snaps at that position. Which teams would you trade our TE group (including Kelce) for? I can think of a lot of teams I’d trade our CB’s, LB’s or even OL for theirs. But I’m not sure I’d trade our TE group for simply because the guy getting almost ALL the reps is the best in the NFL. |

Yeah in the pre-season, especially when they’re trying to figure out who is the TE2. In the regular season 80-85% of TE snaps will he filled by an all pro.

It seems somewhat strange to me that people don't think of Sherman when discussing the tight end position. He's performed in that role many times and, although he's listed as a fullback, he did a damn fine job. He's a relentless blocker and has very good (maybe even great) hands. He simply lacks prototypical TE length.

Interesting how the people that cover the Chiefs that are on 101 the Fox mention that the TE position group is weak.

Dammit. I picked CB, but I meant LB. I think the horrible safety play last year made the CBs look even worse than they really were. It seems like no one is taking that into account.

Our secondary is still really weak. We just can't cover anyone. We will have to do a great job of pressuring the QB this year or the other teams are going to hold onto the ball for a long,long time.
Time of possession to keep Mahomes off the field is going to be the tactic. |

Secondary looked out of sorts last night, especially the backups. Too many guys released a receiver only to find no coverage over the top. Looked like every tackle was Thornhill getting there 3-4 steps late after a big gain.
Hopefully just communication issues and not a total lack of talent. |

Punter. Former MVP had his worst output in his career hardly punting all season. Love me some Dustin Colquitt punts for the win.
I mean how else did Alex Smith get all those hidden yards? |
