Thing is they weren’t throwing to the back before CEH got hurt. I commented several times they should. Hopefully they continue when CEH gets back.

Trey Smith and Humphrey should be with the team for a long,long time.


we need to extend them early before they get to FA etc.

Let's deal with Brown, Mathieu and Hill first.

But yeah, I like where your head's at with those two.

You want to give Mathieu a new contract?

How much, how long for a crafty 30yr old small,slow safety?

Eh, not as much as he's wanting, that's all I can say for sure right now. And I have no idea how much he's wanting.

I haven't heard any numbers either. Just concerned.

Mathieu is currently the brains of our secondary. How can we not give him a new contract?
Mathieu is 30yrs old, never give a 30yrd old player a new contract.

What is the right answer?

A high iq safety shouldn’t be compared like a corner who relies on their athleticism. A 3 year deal should be a no brained. Devin McCourty is still playing good ball at 34, Charles Woodson played until he was mid 30s, Malcolm Jenkins has fallen off a bit, but he’s 33, etc.

Let him hit FA. If he gets what he thinks he's worth than good for him and us because we have to use some of Clark's money on Tyreek as he's more valuable to this team. If Mathieu doesn't get offered what he thinks he's worth than perhaps we can bring him back on a more manageable deal.

And if he gets more than we are willing to pay we will get a solid Comp pick.

Yes, Mahomes is trying to win MVP on every play. I love it! On the other side you have to stay balanced. When LV started pulling the safeties in Patrick got one of the easiest deep strikes he's had all season. Patience is a virtue and it paid off.

Patrick is figuring it out even though it's not how he prefers to play. I think the easy yards kind of grew on him as the game went on. No reason to make it tough. Play smart, set up the knockout blow with body punches. Let those RB's do all the work and the pretty deep ball will come. Defenses can't give up the easy yards forever.

****ing STUD

best draft since the one where we traded up for Mahomes!

2020 doesn’t look too bad right now either. Gay and Sneed look like strong cornerstones of the defense. Danna is a solid rotational guy (which is about as good as you can expect at that slot).

If Niang and CEH even become average level starters, then it’s another great draft.

Couple of other observations from that list. Trey is 13, meaning we got two of the top 15 players on the line in this draft. Also noticed Parsons is fifth. I would have thought he would be higher.
