Damn. He really is a lot like Vrabel.

Just a better atheists version.

Atheist?

autocorrect of athletic maybe?

Makes more sense probably
.

LMAO

I hate Wisconsin atheists!

So does Wisconsin

I absolutely hate vrabel because of “checks notes” his belief in a high power. GO LEO

For some reason the only got 14 snaps against the Falcons.

2-down LB

When he's lined up opposite you, you stop believing in god.

😂 athletic

I do love that sad nostalgic smile that Belichick gives when people bring up his good ol days.

You can tell he’s miserable

Played 48 (60%) snaps against the Ravens.
Played 32 (50%) snaps against the Bengals.
Played 14 (23%) snaps against the Falcons.

What do the Falcons do that the first two teams don't do.

The Falcons got dominated in TOP and then had to pass constantly to catch up.

So that would explain that.

Ravens 28 passes 20 rushes
Bengals 25 passes 32 rushes
Falcons 29 passes 25 rushes

It will be nothing to do with TOP or pass rate, it will be personnel. Falcons must have played a lot more 11 and the Chiefs matched with a sub package, rather than playing base.

I think Spags said he is pound for pound the strongest player on the defense.

I can't wait to see how good he becomes.

Side note: I almost feel like the defense would be better if you swapped Gay and Bolton. Bolton is a tackling machine, but he cannot cover, is slow, and maybe needs other players to succeed to make a splash play like running down a QB. Gay wasn't the brain that Bolton is, but he was definitely faster and more athletic.

Leo Chenal doesn't believe in God. God believes in Leo Chenal.

Nice article on him on Athletic today.

Summary is he’s one of 5 hybrid LBs in the league, including Gay. Best of the group by a wide margin.

Seems like the last time Bolton was out for a period of time we struggled to stop the run. Maybe not as atheletic but he is smart and has a nose for the football.

You think Bolton is more athletic than Chenal?

What games do you watch?

I am going to say something very unpopular (maybe): Nick Bolton needs everyone else to win to make an impact on a play or a game.

I don't know how many people consistently watch the All-22, but Bolton is not a play maker that flies around making plays. He collects tackles like crazy but it's rarely because he made a play himself, but almost always, when he makes a play, it's because someone else won a one-on-one battle, or the defensive line wrecked the offense, etc.

He cannot cover a TE, even a little. He is a very good player, but I hope we don't give him a huge contract. He is probably going to be one of those guys that leaves for more money, and in two or three years whatever team he goes to will try to trade him (back to the Chiefs maybe) or cut him because of his salary.

He is definitely smart, and talented. I am not saying anything different, but he is limited athletically, and isn't very fast. When others win, he is outstanding. I am just saying he doesn't really make plays on his own.

Ray Lewis would eat when his defensive line was cooking, but, the difference is he could also dominate a game with a group of backup defensive linemen. Hell, even FW from the Niners isn't Ray Lewis, but, he is more athletic and makes plays in space that Bolton can't make.

I love Bolton, even as a Jayhawk, but I just don't want to pay him like a premium LB because he isn't really a premium LB, he's just the LB we currently have. If he had any sort of ability in coverage, I would feel slightly different, but he can't even cover slow ass blocking TEs.

They double teaming me coach

PFF GRADES
Willie "Fucts up vacuums" Gay 48.2
Drue "I have a hot sister" Tranquil 50.2
Leo "People assume I'm a bad athlete" Chenal 78.7
Nick "I dont hate him even though he went to MU" Bolton 73.1

Gay looks awful in Orleans

Football guy

Someone said he’s, pound-for-pound, the strongest guy on the team and I’m starting to believe it.

Maybe the fastest, too. Pound for pound. 250 lbs.

Not only did he leap three football fields to block the kick, but if you watch the snap he put the LG on his ASS.

I love this guy

He's really, really good. He's one you just about HAVE to keep.

Also a very good argument for why you DON'T trade away mid-round picks willy nilly. We need (young) guys like this to continue winning.

With due respect to Dan. He's Sorenson with extreme talent

Cause he white. Amirite?

He's in the right place at the right time

This guy might be pound-for-pound the strongest MFer in the NFL. What he did to #54 on that FG was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. He pulverized that dude to an extent where I don’t think he’ll ever live it down. It was like he was a toddler.

I watched this back so many times I nearly died laughing. The film room is going to eat his lunch. Imagine the amount of drive you have to punch with to shit roll a guy like that and then reload for a launch at the ball. It's nearly impossible.

I mean, he's absolutely nothing at all like Sorenson, but other than that you're correct.

It's almost like 54 missed the snap count. Or maybe just not being able to hear it was enough.

Yeah, he ran a 4.5, 40” vert and 34 reps of 225. 9.9/10 RAS.

He’s a freak.

I was randomly thinking the other day "Leo is having a quiet season. I wonder if he'll break out at some point."

Lo and behold. Thanks Leo for bailing us out.

Dan literally follows me on social.

Sorry but uh, there's no comparison other than they are white. Leo is literally a freak athlete.

he's consistenly good in every game. I think the position he plays doesn't allow him to run around the field making plays, I bet he could take over either of the other positions and dominate.

I noticed at the end of the game vs the Ravens he was on spy duty and did a good job of that too I thought.

Yeah I guess it's more steady and consistent. Willie Gay would make a great TFL in the open field or an INT off of spy duty, I guess I was wondering if Leo would do the same. But the blocked kick more than makes up for that.

2019 Dan laughs at your memory lapses

I really hope we keep him. Yeah he'll have games where he's beaten in coverage, but man what a beast. Honestly think we can get some pass rush from him and there's even more to come

I read this as, “Cause he’s white American.”

I thought to myself, “Oh shit we started off strong, here we go. This is going to get good.”

Go Chiefs, time for a slo motion GIF of that pancake and block.

For some reason it reminded me of what the poor Nebraska kid who got trucked by James Wilder at the goal line. He had to have been brutalized in film study the next week.

Leo is becoming a core guy on this team. What he did yesterday epitomizes who the Chiefs are, their identity of “whatever it takes”.

He’s a keeper.

Hate to do it but he's our Vrabel

And Thuney is our Thuney

Don’t worry, You aren’t the first to think it ;)

I think Belichick literally compared him to Vrabel this year. I need to find that clip.

Stud

Leo 2 major blocked FGs. Love it!

Donks show up now

Uh oh

I don’t like that post.

Hopefully he’s just getting divorced and it’s nothing serious.

No wonder your thread privileges have been revoked.

Wait, WTF does that mean?

Remember when people tried to interpret all the bullshit Chris Jones would post on social media?

Yeah, I'm gonna say ignore it.

I think he might just be talking about the Super Bowl.

He clearly 100% is LMAO

"It's been a while" = no post since

"Adversity" = losing the SB

NO I THINK WE'RE CUTTING HIM

Damn he's clearly retiring

But he’s under contract right? And it’s HIS rookie contract, correct? What the efff is going on?

Just saw Veach at Radio Shack, said he traded him to the Seahawks for Charles Cross

Man I don't wanna lose Chenal. He was absolutely fantastic this year.

He's better than Bolton.

Thats right. I said it.

Charles cross + I hope

Man I wish Simply Red was around. I’m pretty sure he’d inbox Leo to find out what’s goin on.

I’ve had a rough past few days, please excuse my nonsense.

Love you guys.

ROFL

Let’s not get crazy.

They play different roles anyway. They’re asked to do totally different things.

Yeah. We have to remember that he's never had a season before this where he lost the Super Bowl.

the bolton slander has reached asinine levels on here.

do you ****s forget the dark days when dj retired and that worthless bitch hitchens used to man the middle?

bolton isn't just good - he's ****ing great and him having to get paid soon doesn't negate that. tired of the mongs acting like he's just another replaceable cog in the machine.

Sounds like he's been processing the SB loss and is finally in a good enough space to where he can address the fans and move forward. My take, at least. :shrug:
