Except he was a FS.:thumb:

Why do people insist Flowers isn't a good fit for Sutton's scheme?

Flowers was the only CB on the Chiefs who could play outside, in the slot or shadow an opposing WR. His departure leaves a big hole in the secondary.

Matthieu played both safety and corner. While I'm not a PFF guy, to say the least, if you are, you might wish to note that PFF had Matthieu rated at their #2 CB as of 12/19 last season.

He was so good at shadowing Dez Bryant . . . oh wait.

Only true if you had low expectations for the season.

WTF is going to trade for an injury-plagued, slot CB who has almost $15 mil coming in the next 2 years?

He killed Welker, and he matched up well on Hilton until he got hurt.

Its more business than a game anymore. What do you do? Hate to see him go, but it was kind of inevitable with his contract. Hope Cooper and Gaines are ready to strap it up. No telling what exactly happens with Sean Smith.

Guess we could always see what Stanford Routt is up to right now? j/k

Pass rush. Pass rush. Pass rush. Unless you've got absolutely ELITE corners, I'll take my chances with a consistent pass rush from the front six or seven and competent tackling.

Especially with how ****ing much a joke the rules are these days. "Oh, #28, you went stride for stride with a WR and you both kind of slapped each other along the way? PASS INTERFERENCE, on the defense!"

Get after the QB, and be able to tackle as soon as the opposing receiver makes the catch to prevent YAC.

Cooper played so well they benched him.

If they are moving to bump coverage then Flowers don't fit.

Pablo 06-13-2014 02:29 PM

Don't worry guys, our pass rush is going to be so ****ing fierce that whoever is back there will only need to cover for about 1.5 seconds.

16-0.

Rookie.

"Durr Eric Berry got burned, he ****in' sucks." /Chiefs fans circa 2010.

In the playoff game the minute Flowers when out injured the Indy comeback began.

That's the only reason I am pissed. Pioli wasted a boatload of talent.
