Chiefs Brandon Flowers - Page 3

Thig Lyfe · 06-10-2013, 01:27 PM

What are we expecting out of him this season? Seems like he was banged up a lot last year, although to the best of my recollection he was still solid. I still don't think we have a good enough 2nd CB on the other side of the field after Carr left, so I fear it'll be easy for QBs to avoid him altogether this season. Or do they even need to avoid him? Is he a shutdown corner? With the emergence of Justin Houston and the recovery of Eric Berry, plus ongoing concerns about the DL, it feels like there isn't much talk of Brandon Flowers anymore.

Also BF could also stand for Big Fish like what they serve at L. John Silvers, is that significant at all???

Love,

TL

He's awesome. It's the other side we need to think about.

he's a shut down corner. when he's in the tub.

Only thing I want to see from him is more interceptions. Like it's been said already teams like to pick on the other side so he doesn't get to many opportunities. I wouldn't put him in the category of "shutdown" corners, but he is a good corner.

Ace Gunner · 06-10-2013, 08:23 PM

ya, love to watch him play -- he's a scrappy smart player, but not quite athletic enough to shut the speedsters down.

Brandon Flowers jams DC go-go. Ergo, Flowers is headed to the Pro Bowl this year,

He needs to step up his game. He's good, but the entire secondary (including Flowers) was dogshit last season. Chiefs need him to be great. Personally I'm not too high on the Robinson and Smith signings, although it needed to be done. Personally I think we paid the wrong Brandon.

Hopefully the front 7 help out and we can get to the QB a lot quicker, that always helps.

Brandon Flowers should come away with extra picks this year with the blitzes we are going to do. Quarterbacks are going start pressing and getting rid of the ball early and one thing BF is good at is getting a jump on the ball.

The bigger question is how will the other two guys outside stack up in that situation.

I agree.

Surtain's Curtains is a wonderful franchise though
