"Get your hands out your pockets, 11!"



"Take my ass home!"

Love it.

That. Was. AWESOME!

You could tell by the end of that game Tyreek had found his true biological father and couldn’t get on the plane back to Miami fast enough. Wow. Never thought I’d see a man take complete ownership of Cheetah like that. That was amazing. Nobody on that Dolphin team wanted any piece of Sneed by the end of that game. One of the most dominant games I’ve ever seen by a DB. Truly Ronnie Lott-esque. They were literally scared of Sneed.

That's an AMAZING Mic'd dude. That dude is awesome.

I don’t think there’s been a more physical corner duo in the NFL since Sherman and Browner in Seattle, but our guys can cover even better than they could.

I love these guys so goddamn much.

I was thinking about this, I think this is the best secondary I can ever remember the Chiefs having

I guess you're not old enough to remember Albert Lewis, Kevin Ross, Deron Cherry, and Lloyd Burrus

I hate the Sherman comparisons because Sherman was really just a mouth on a great defense that got burned a lot, but played dirty. Sneed actually shuts guys down

?

Sherman was incredible in his prime. Their scheme didn’t dictate that he followed around the #1 WR in man-to-man coverage but you could pretty much count on his entire third of the field to be locked down while he was in.

Hasty.

Sneed is a faster version of James Hasty. The older version of Hasty that played with us - not the younger version with the Jets. That version was faster than Sneed.

But by the time he got here he knew how he had to play and man did he do it.

That's another reason I'm more inclined to extend Sneed despite his age. Hasty was out there taking scalps at 35 yrs old. Now I don't think that's doable in the modern era - too much wide open passing. But at 31 or 32? Yeah, if Sneed's knees hold up, he can do that.

Give him 3-4 more years here and he's going into the Ring of Honor. He's building a hell of a legend in Kansas City. I'd hate to see the story end here.

I’m happy to eat crow on this one. Not that I never thought Sneed wasn’t any good. But I just didn’t think it made sense to pay him with McDuffie already being a top 10ish guy, and how well we’ve been drafting there. (Joshua Williams has very quietly had a great year too).

But this step Sneed has taken has been unbelievable. He has made it to where he needs to be the #1 priority in the off season.


My only gripe with Veach is that he never gets these guys done early. Maybe Sneed would have turned down anything that would have been viewed as a bargain for us. But I have to believe he would have taken Charvarius’ deal, and now he’s going to cost 20mil+

This with Sneed started last year. Probably halfway through the season this transition into the best corner in the league started then but no one really noticed because the D as a whole wasn't as good.

Its possible again that we could've gotten a deal done last year if we knew what was happening with Chris Jones. That giant question mark on him the whole offseason kinda makes it hard to plan much of anything.

Thanks a lot, CJ.

That doesn’t really happen anymore.

The NFLPA pushes guys to reset the market. Nothing wrong with getting what you can given short careers and the immense toll on your body.

I want to agree, but I don't know that I can. Hasty may have been fast, but I certainly don't remember it (even with the Jets). He was always a guy that would/could jam the receiver, but I don't recall him ever having the speed to keep up with a guy. He typically grabbed and held receivers, assuming they couldn't call everything. LJS is a physical specimen but he also runs a 4.37. He's just the entire package.

Is Dale Carter the better comp? Both could play safety, but I don't think even Dale ever ran faster than a 4.4. LJS is just a different cat.
