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.

#Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo says he doesn't think he's had their top 11 players on the field for a single play so far. He says it has made things really difficult to evaluate the CB room. Says there isn't really another "starting" corner opposite Trent McDuffie.

It's not just man - it's press man.

Off Man can get you picks BUT only if you're generating substantial pressure with your front 4 and thus forcing those quick passes that a CB can drive on.

Once the DB has to turn, the interception is mostly out the window unless it's a safety and our safeties aren't ball-hawks.

In press man, even the quick game interceptions are pretty rare.

I don't disagree (and made that point often last season) that our coverages impact our pick totals. That said, we just won't be able to run that as often as we did without Sneed. We're gonna need to do more matchup zone and off-man coverage this year.

I think the opportunities will increase by a fair bit - we just have to haul them in.
