Boy it looks like the Chiefs really don't like their CB room

[Mecca]

On top of claiming Eric Scott

They also placed claims on Shemar Bartholomew and Sam Womack III. Even though they were only awarded 1 because of other teams placing 3 claims on corners is telling.

Veach had built several champion teams with different strengths and weaknesses. He’s won it several different ways. I don’t doubt he will put the team in a position to do it again.

It will be hard to match last year’s secondary. Strength will arise elsewhere.

Pressure up the middle bothers QBs more than anything.

Are you saying that Sneed might turn into Tennessee's Carlton Gray?

Here are the facts

1. We have the best DB coach/developer in the league.

2. We have a legendary DC who knows how to scheme things up to protect the db's if needed.

3. Three of our corners (Mcduffie, Watson and Williams) have played in several huge games including AFC championships and Superbowls. And have not been embarrassed most of the time. Even though they have faced elite qb's and offenses.

4. We don't know what we have in Christian Rolland-Wallace, Nazeeh Johnson or Eric Scott yet. But many believe CRW is the second best slot guy on the roster after Mcduffie and Nazeeh and Eric have traits that could be moulded into a decent player as the season progresses hopefully.

5. Next Thursday will be the first time our top defense will take the field. Until we see the whole squad together it's futile to judge it. Watson, Williams and Nazeeh never played with Reid, Bolton, Jones etc in the limited minutes they had this preseason and that matters imo.

So my point is let's wait and see what our secondary does when all the best players are on the field together.

I assume his knee must be pretty bad, based on how much trouble we had getting him traded, and the fact we didn't even get a current year pick for him. And then his new contract only made him 9th in AAV for CBs.

I mean Joe Burrow and Tom Brady maybe.

If the Chiefs were legit concerned about whichever CB was on the field opposite McDuffie, then they would have signed Stephon Gilmore.

He was there. He's got tread left on the tires. The Vikings got him for one year. We could have done the same.

Nope. Let him go play somewhere else.

We'll be fine.

There is some truth in this post.
I have a feeling our DB lineup will depend on the team and the WRs that we are facing. We all know that Nazeeh Johnson was doing great until his knee injury. If he can get back to where he was before that injury it will change things. I think we will see McDuffie on the opposing team's best WR and the rest of the CBs will line up accordingly.

I think Veach is as focused as he is on the DB room this off-season because he anticipates teams throwing the ball against us much more due to the improvements in our offense. This season won't be 20pt slugfests, but high flying offense and potential blow outs if the opposing team can't keep up. That's why they treated the DT room like "meh good enough with CJ95" but we are really looking at our DB's with a microscope. It's not a cause for concern, it's an early sign of how good Veach sees our offense being.

[493rd]

Not likely the D is as good as it was last year. Also not likely that the O is nearly as bad as it was. If the defense can be mid-range and the offense is top 5 we’ll be fine. Hopefully the pass rush is there because that’ll mask a suspect secondary. McDuffie is the only dude that can be trusted.

First snap of the regular season hasn’t even taken place, but Jake from Bitch Farm is already in playoff form and ready to shit up every game thread with his menstrual fluid-soaked opinions.

If we didn’t have Spags and Merritt I would be more concerned. They consistently get more out of our CBs than they should given where they were drafted. That also could be a reason they let Sneed walk.
