My son and I were up and ready to go at 5:30am and I looked at the radar and assumed we were screwed so we didn't go. Wish I'd have known they delayed. |

He isn’t a starter but he’s the kind of player you want as depth. I don’t mind if he plays single high sometimes. If he does it likely means Thornhill is playing corner. |

I'd rather have Thornhill using his instincts to pick off deep passes as a single high safety than having Peters do it while abandoning his responsibility at corner.

Imagine if Thornhill turns into a stud corner.
This defense looks a lot different. |
Thornhill cannot play corner. He's too slow in his breaks. If he plays corner we're screwed.

Why would Thornhill play CB?

And people think he's more of a hard-hitter than he is for the same reason. Sorensen is game, so I have no problem with people calling him 'tough' or 'rugged' - the guy is absolutely willing to put his nose into the pile. But honestly, run support and baseline tackling are probably the worst part of his game. He's actually a pretty damn decent playmaker. He's not a single-high guy, but few truly are. He's pretty athletic, especially for a safety. I think he's overpaid but if the Chiefs cut him, he'd be on an NFL roster and there would be several teams bidding for his services. He's a nice player who I wish were making about $2 million less than he is. A $4.7 million cap hit for a rotational safety is pretty ridiculous. But if we had him at $2.5 million on the cap this year I think you'd keep him without question. |
