Thanks. I didn't catch the promotion.

It's kind of amazing that Poe, as big as he is, can play as many snaps as he does. Here are the defensive leaders in terms of number of snaps:

1. Justin Houston (338)
2. Derrick O. Johnson (335)
3. Tamba Hali (335)
4. Eric Berry (334)
5. Kendrick Lewis (332)
6. Dontari Poe (321)
7. Sean Smith (319)
8. Brandon Flowers (258)
9. Akeem Jordan (171)
10. Mike Devito (170)

There have been a total of 345 total defensive snaps.

I didn't expect Jordan to be so low. He has quietly been a really solid addition.

I agree. He keeps doing positive things and I keep thinking he's DJ until I get a better look at his number.

I think he is the first guy they pull whenever they leave their base package.

He's probably the best ILB we've had opposite DJ...unless I'm forgetting someone.

332 snaps for Kendrick Lewis

lol

I'm not sure about that. That there Brandon Siler is a pretty good tackler.

They use a lot of sub packages.

Thought the donks had a better one ROFL

and mostly invisible until he whiffs on a tackle or is too late getting over to help on a sideline route.

Probably the only reason his play hasn't been glaringly easy to spot is simply because he's a 3rd level defender and has no joke 5 Pro Bowlers including 2 right in front of him and 1 right next to him playing.

Hey Kendrink- ya, just kinda go back there and cover the grass. Feel free to take some notes and watch your team mates if you'd like. At least learn to position yourself to take better angles.

Lol, Mitch Holthus really has a way of resonating with True Fans.

If you don't mind losing a few brain cells with his constant crowd pandering of "PUT THE HAMMER DOWN!", this is a pretty good interview with Cooper.

Cooper sounds humble, eager, and all-around awesome

Usually true fans are dumbasses but I was at that interview it was pretty cool how into the chiefs those people are. They really love their team.

I can get behind that. But when Mitch Holthus is expecting me to chant his weirdo garbage that he made up, that's where I draw the line.

So I listened to the game two weeks ago, and I probably hadn't listened to Mitch for the past 5 years at least.

WTF is the "PUT THE HAMMER DOWN!" thing about anyway?

I can't tell you where it came from, but it's his catch phrase on his "Chiefs Kingdom" live audience weekly radio program. I don't mind the phrase, but when he leads the audience with it, he says it really slow and that kind of annoys me.

It's time to... keep.. the hammer........ doooowwwwnnnn.

rookie made a few mistakes today and was tested, but he came back strong with several quality pass defenses and another INT

Demps and Abdullah both with INTs too.

:clap:

The key was he gave the middle finger and picked off the slant

Lewis plays the deep man on most plays effectively taking him out of the play most of the time. We don't want Demps out of most plays. So no, I'm okay with Lewis being back there.

Lewis was a worthless pile of shit today too.

Demps - INT
Abdullah - INT
Lewis - managed to find a tackle today but still left the rookie hanging on the touchdown slant pass.

That was demps

After today. I am officially crowning Marcus Cooper.

Yes, it seems a little early. But ****. This guy is ballin. They targeted him all game and he didnt allow a catch until garbage time that I saw, plus he ripped that pick away just like he did last week.

i don't think so but ok

He's still an invisible man who flails all over the field if asked to tackle anyone

Every safety seeing playing time has a INT but Lewis?

He was beat by his guy on the slant that scored the Raiders TD, but Berry bit too hard and should've been there to turn it into a moderate (but not killer) gain.

Just looked at touchdown again, i guess it was both of them.

Demps was deep and took a bad angle on tackle
Lewis was inside and stepped too far up so the slant went behind him

that's some lame shit, that's what it's about. he uses that during his weekly bar/grill broadcasts. it's ****ing horrible. dude needs to stick with "sweet nectar" & "honey badger" and all that other crap.

I still love him.

Outside of one play which is as much Lewis's fault as his, he has been money all game.

Another HUGE game for the kid. It's criminal that he's on such a tiny contract for - what - 4 years?

All cornerbacks will give up some, but the good ones will shut it down most of the time. Cooper is a beast.

signed

I assume since we claimed him that his initial contract from the 49ers carries over to us.

Marcus Cooper - 5/10/2013: Signed a four-year, $2.205 million contract. The deal included a $45,896 signing bonus.


Rookie contract cannot be renegotiated for at least 3 years?

DROY

He is ****ing awesome.

I love it when the receiver turns he actually turns. Just like you are taught.

Count. Me. In.

Dorsey found us a top flight starter on the scrap heap, that strip of a sure touchdown was the kind of thing that builds legends.

Kid has some Charles Woodson in him. Always around the ball.

ROY

I hope he gets more playing time.

lol wut?

Consider the source of the post.

So much in.

I read an article describing cooper as a "bit" player. Obviously they don't watch our games.

@bkissel7: Marcus Cooper is @PFF's No. 2 ranked CB in 'coverage' this year. Has to enter DROY discussion with Alonso, Richardson. #Chiefs

What players from last year's draft would you trade Cooper for? I can't name one.

Sheldon Richardson

So far, he's the only one I would consider. If you take salaries into account, I wouldn't make the trade.

I'd always take the pass rusher.

But would you pay the extra $3,000,000 per year to do it?

No, but we could have had both

Kid is so good he me forget all about whatshisname that has been getting burned a lot in Dallas this year.

Meanwhile, the 49ers are cutting Asamoghua to get Eric Wright back on the field.

Cooper is superior to either of those guys and it's not even close.

We're not the only team that has made horrific decisions thank god

andrew luck? or do you mean 2013 draft?
then none

Was Carr the guy who gave up the 324 yards to Calvin Johnson, or was he on the other side?

PFF has Carr at a -5.4 for that game (astoundingly bad), so I'm gonna guess he was on Johnson.



EDIT: Here ya go.

Found this on another Chiefs board.

Those were some great highlights.

Dude went from #4 to #1 CB in the blink of an eye. STUD.

Oh, and he's a mother****ing ace gunner.

This is what I think he does better then any corner on the team. He turns his head to actually see where the ball is at, too make a play. It seems like flowers and Carr (when he was here. Still does it in dallas) would hardly ever turn their heads and would only stick their hands in the receivers face right before a catch. Maybe it was coaching. I know corners shouldn't keep their eyes in the back field, but this guy knows when to turn to look back. I'm glad Cooper gets it.

Yep, loving some M Cooper :thumb:

How the **** did the 49ers let this stud go? I'm glad they did, but I'm guessing they're regretting it

bump!!

Meh, there's nothing to criticize in this thread. Cooper looked great his rookie season. He just couldn't keep it going.

I liked Cooper, it's just good that we have aquired better players.

I think his head got messed up after he was abused by Manning a couple of years ago. He never really recovered from it.

It's a tough question. When I see flashes of true talent, my pressure moves to the coaching staff to curate the neuroses and work ethic that goes into a lasting asset.

If a player is a 'never flashed' and we move on, that's one thing.

When a player flashes the ability to contribute, then loses it, I place a little blame on the coaching staff for failing to nurture talent. That is, unless the full story reveals that the player is actively unteachable [ie, an impregnable head case, or dumb as a rock].

Wow I can't believe this dumb mother****er did this. He won't be in the league much longer.

Wow. Looked staged as ****, but strangely the Bears still won.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Pittsburgh lays about two eggs like this every season.

What a numbskull. So glad the Chiefs got rid of this guy a couple years ago.

I was the first to tell CP that Cooper sucked and his early success was mostly attributed to playing some of the worst QB's in the league.

I was one of few who told CP that Gaines sucked.

I was one of the only ones to say Flowers still had a season or two in him when the Chiefs cut him (he had a ProBowl year for SD the next season)

I argued for days on end with everyone who said Berry was done, and that was BEFORE the cancer, let alone during.

And i was THE FIRST to tell you all that Mitchell would be the real deal, and i said that after the Falcons game (his first action), not after the Raiders game.

Yes, i'm bragging.

Take notes on how it's done ClayCoMo. That's how you call your shit and get it right.

I was right about KHunt

Me too bud.

Why in the world would any player stop short like that? Really dumb.

Be careful. You aren't aloud to brag about consistently being right on CP.

I caught shit for it with Chris Jones last year, and Kareem Hunt this year.

That's because a lot of people loved those guys. Not much to brag about.
