Man what a game by this young man. He's better than Gaines. I think we should keep him in.

This staff is so good at finding talented guys to fit the system. Makes me feel good about finding a guy to adequately replace DJ.

I agree with this. They showed Gaines in the starting lineup on the stream, but I didn't see anything of him in game. So glad we had Mitchell in.

The thing I like about Mitchell is he turns his head when the ball is in the air and knows where it is. His instincts are top notch. He just has a good feel for the position.

That's been Gaines' problem.

Mitchel is a baller. I thought he had a great game last week too. He has the size, plays the ball well and plays with swag.

I don't know what his measurables are but he plays fast and strong. Completely looks the part. I think this guy is the next Parker.

I didn't know much about him. so I googled him. He sure has bounced around a lot since being a 7th round pick for the Cowgirls in 2014. He was even on our active roster, cut and then re-signed just a couple of weeks ago. From what we saw tonight from him, how did that happen? The kid sure looks like he has some serious skills. He just supplanted our number 2 corner tonight and showed that he deserved to be there. Dorsey never ceases to amaze me with the guys he keeps on finding.

DJ White looked better than Gaines before he busted his hand. Now he can't even get activated -- though it may be that Reid wanted Mitchell's size against Cooper and Crabtree (though Wikipedia says Mitchell and White are the same size, Mitchell sure looked like a bigger CB).

sometimes when you dont hear a CBs name all game it means they did an exceptional job

i was impressed with mitchell, he needs another start and let's see. i've seen enough of gaines that i don't trust him to be a top flight starting CB. gaines is still young so maybe he can develop more, but he's got significant deficiencies.

If we were talking about Peters you would be saying "didn't here his name all night is a good thing". Lets not be unfair. IDK how Smith played, but not hearing his name is proof of nothing. If anything, it's probably an indication that he did well.

Don't need to make Smith out to be terrible to make the point about how good Dorsey has been.

Sean smith didn't play bad. I didn't mean say he was awful bc we didn't hear his name.

The point is that once again Dorsey gets a guy off the street for pennies to shut down a pro bowl player and end the game.

Losing Sean Smith has not hurt us nearly as bad as some think it has and that's bc of Dorsey. It was a credit to Mitchell's play, not Smith's.

Although not having Smith probably cost us the Tampa game so was that money worth that game?

Mitchell had a good game last week against Atlanta too. Very early to tell if he's going to pan out, but imo, the only two games we've seen him in, he's already displayed some traits that Gaines sorely lacks.

I was incredibly critical of Marcus Cooper. I was never a fan. I was never Gaines guy either.

Through two games, Mitchell has displayed more physicality than either of those guys ever did. He has swag too. The game doesn't look too big for him. He looks comfortable out there. He walks up to the LoS like he knows he can ball. He's displayed the ability to get his head around and break on the ball.

He LOOKS strong and he plays strong and fast.

Some players have that "it" factor. And i think this guy has "it".

Think about guys like Marcus Peters or a young Brandon Flowers. Those guys have/had swag. They play with confidence and with great energy. So does Mitchell.

CB Terrance Mitchell is the Chiefs latest discovery

The Kansas City Chiefs have been finding hidden gem after hidden gem. A few months ago it was the emergence of Ramik Wilson, a few weeks ago it was the emergence of Rakeem “Nacho” Nunez-Roches and a few hours ago it was Terrance Mitchell.

The Chiefs cornerbacks group led by Marcus Peters were outstanding. Mitchell, in particular, was great with a pass breakup to help seal the game.

Who is Terrance Mitchell, you ask? Oh, the guy who has spent time with the Cowboys, Bears, Cowboys again, Texans and Chiefs in the past two years. The guy the Chiefs have already cut once this season (also true of Wilson and Nacho).

The Chiefs keep finding these guys and they keep performing in the biggest of situations. Mitchell got the nod over DJ White and Kenneth Acker at corner and this is what he did:

Follow
Nathan Jahnke ✔ @PFF_NateJahnke
Terrance Mitchell in coverage allowed just 3 of 7 for 14 yards, 1 pass breakup. Steven Nelson just 4 of 12 for 24 yards, 2 pass breakups

Derek Carr was bad tonight. It was cold, his pinky was hurting, the Raiders were dropping passes ... let’s get all these excuses out of the way before we just acknowledge that the Chiefs young pups had a hell of a game on a huge stage.

“We expected to win,” Steven Nelson said after the game. “Obviously, this was a big game. It means a lot of things down the road. We knew it was going to be a dog fight. We are just happy we got the win.”

Phillip Gaines played one snap and the Chiefs had DJ White inactive while Mitchell played 72/75. They keep finding these guys...

‘Ultra-competitor’ Terrance Mitchell nears Bears gig
Patrick Finley
@patrickfinley | email

He thought he’d made the team, so he needed a haircut. He wanted to look sharp for the game.

On the drive to a Dallas-area barber, though, the phone rang. It was the Cowboys.

“It was a humbling experience,” he said. “From that day that I knew I couldn’t go here again. I’ve gotta go harder.”

The seventh-round pick out of Oregon was among the last players cut by the Cowboys last year. It caught him by surprise; in his mind, cuts were made the way they do them on the television show ‘Hard Knocks,’ not on the phone in the car.

So don’t ask the cornerback if he’s he thinks he’s made the Bears entering the third preseason game Saturday night in Cincinnati. Or if he thinks he can lock down a job with another good game.

He’s been there before, and been wrong.

“I did a few things, but at the end of the day, I could have done more,” he said. “Mentally, I was immature. “

Mitchell — who joined the Bears practice squad two days after being cut by the Cowboys — has been dynamic this preseason. One week ago, he intercepted a pass by jumping over Colts receiver Donte Moncrief. A helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him out of Game 1; never lacking confidence, Mitchell said a Dolphins running back had been talking smack before the hit.

At a position group filled alongside veterans Tim Jennings, Alan Ball and Tracy Porter — as well former first-round pick Kyle Fuller — no one has made more preseason plays than Mitchell.

Entering the third preseason game, Mitchell has allowed one 12-yard completion on four balls thrown his way, intercepting another. The quarterback rating for balls thrown to his area is 0.0, per Pro Football Focus.

If the roster is decided solely on preseason merit, Mitchell is on the roster. But that’s not always the case.

“He’s an ultra-competitor,” Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long said. “That’s the way he’s been since I played with him at Oregon. He’s a football player. He can do anything.”

Mitchell has taken turns returning kickoffs this preseason, and said he’s learned in the last year how important special teams are to his future.

He played scout team wide receiver and running back in a pinch last year, too.

“And he was shredding us up,” Long said. “We’ve seen him do everything.”

He’s learning, too. Mitchell cites skills he worked on during training camp — learning up-field leverage and positioning — for his Game 2 interception. He worked on his speed in the offseason, to be able to play the deep ball better.

“One of my problems in college was, I was just out there covering, not playing physical, trying to get strips, trying to make hard tackles,” he said. “That was a goal of mine, to play aggressive.”

Share Events on The Cube
Long has noticed, saying that Mitchell “understands the game of football is a physical one, and one you don’t take plays off in.”

Josh Bellamy has seen that aggressiveness in the Halas Hall lunch room. Mitchell has pulled the wide receiver away from his food, made him put on his cleats and go to the Bears’ indoor facility to work on releases at the line of scrimmage.

“You know he’s going to come to work,” Bellamy said. “So when you line up across T-Mitch, you know you’ve got to come to work.”

Just don’t ask Mitchell about earning that job — at least not yet.

“At the end of the day,” he said, “I gotta continue getting people’s attention.”

He’s learning, too. Mitchell cites skills he worked on during training camp — learning up-field leverage and positioning — for his Game 2 interception. He worked on his speed in the offseason, to be able to play the deep ball better.

“One of my problems in college was, I was just out there covering, not playing physical, trying to get strips, trying to make hard tackles,” he said. “That was a goal of mine, to play aggressive.”

2. He was very good in Atlanta.

Back-to-back strong outings against top 5 offense's is pretty damn impressive

How many snaps did he have against Atlanta?

Mitchell punks Donte Moncrief for the interception:

35 Snaps. Almost 50% of the defensive snaps.

Raiders paid $11 million for Sean Smith and he did nothing. I didn't even hear his name tonight.

Meanwhile Dorsey gets a CB off the street for 2% of the cost and he makes multiple big plays and wins us the game.

LMAO
To be fair, Sean Smith "did nothing" for the Chiefs a lot too. That's his game. He covers well enough that qbs don't throw his way often so you don't hear his name that often.

Sean smith didn't play bad. I didn't mean say he was awful bc we didn't hear his name.

The point is that once again Dorsey gets a guy off the street for pennies to shut down a pro bowl player and end the game.

Losing Sean Smith has not hurt us nearly as bad as some think it has and that's bc of Dorsey. It was a credit to Mitchell's play, not Smith's.

I agree with that.

I think we've found our #2 CB. Another good game from him aside from the penalty that should have been holding instead of PI

Dude played a pretty good game from what I could see. That PI was the biggest load of horse shit I've seen in a while. Seems like every game there's a critical PI call against us but our guys get mauled with clubs every passing play and they don't call anything. NFL refs are shit.

Need a larger sample size. Could be a CB2 or he could be Marcus Cooper.

Jamell Fleming once had a good game in his initial starts for us in 2014.

All I need to know is this. Will he continue to wear that really cool mouthguard with the teeth?
