I don't think these guys realize Flowers is in his break out year like Asomugha was a few years ago before he was a big time shut down corner. So after this year is when everyone will be talking about him in the same breath.

Oh and Flowers is doing it two years faster than Nnamdi did too.

Flowers blooming for Chiefs

There is no doubting that the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense is much improved.

You can credit several people. New defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel has his unit playing disciplined, timely football. Third-year defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey is having a breakout season. Linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson are both playing at an All-Pro level. Rookie safety Eric Berry is showing why he is the No. 5 overall pick. They all deserve their due credit.

But don’t forget the play of third-year cornerback Brandon Flowers. He’s been outstanding. Perhaps overshadowed in a division teeming with strong cornerback play, the 5-foot-9, 187-pound Flowers has been fantastic this season. He is a big reason why Kansas City is 5-2 and heading into a crucial game at 4-4 Oakland on Sunday.

He is getting high, I mean, high, praise.

“Brandon Flowers is exceptional,” Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. said. “He’s not very known, but he is playing terrific football. He’s playing better than (New York Jets Darrelle) Revis and as good as Nnamdi (Oakland’s Asomugha). He’s been that good.”

Revis and Asomugha are routinely considered the gold standards of NFL cornerback play. For Flowers to be compared to these players, is pretty heady stuff.

Flowers has been a contributor since he was a second-round pick in 2008, the final season of the Carl Peterson-Herm Edwards era. Flowers caught heat for poor play in the preseason, but he has been a standout this season.

He is a complete player who gives up little in the pass game who had key interceptions in wins over Cleveland and San Francisco. He has become a stalwart against the run. Kansas City coach Todd Haley said this week that he thinks Flowers is a premier run supporter as well as a fine cover man.

“This guy is a unique, highly-competitive player,” Haley told reporters in Kansas City this week. “You can see that he enjoys and thrives on being challenged. As each receiver group comes into town or we got to town against, the bigger the name the bigger the step up you see from Brandon."

So, when you think about why the Kansas City defense is better and helping the team become a legitimate playoff contender, you have to look at the little cornerback who is on the verge of creating a big name for himself.

:facepalm:

cool story bro.

Flowers still has a bit to go before he's the cover corner that the elite guys are. He's very good, but not quite elite in that regard just yet, IMO.

However, in run support, there's not a better corner in the league. These yappin' ass Raider fans can shove it on that front. Trying to argue that Flowers isn't a truly exceptional run support corner just exposes folks as ignorant homers.

Flowers almost gave up that many catches against THE BILLS!!!! "Cool story" indeed.

Nnamdi > Flowers and there is NO DEBATE. The only people who think the opposite are Chief homers.

Anybody who gets burnt by Roscoe Freaking Parrish should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Nnamdi.

The end.

Nnamdi is a great tackler dude. You had me convinced you knew what you were talking about w/ your first paragraph. I actually did a "best CB" list somewhere preseason and had Flowers 4th behind Nnamdi, Revis, then Woodson. I think that's a perfect spot for him.

He's no where near Nnamdi though. Not yet.

I'm glad Nnamdi is doing great things for your team....................... on the sideline!! :D A player that isn't available isn't really much of a threat to us. :rolleyes:

And the only ppl who can't realize that Flowers is just as good as Nnamdi are Raiders homers. Like yourself. Cool story huh.

Luckily for us, you dont have a threat at receiver.

Dwayne Bowe>>>>Any receiver on your team.

Tony Moeaki>>>>Zach Miller. Already a much better blocker than him too.

Uhhhh why can't I post links!!??!?!?! You're so ****ing reeruned it amazes me. Do you even know there are people living outside of where you do? I have many links that shows how stupid you are but for some reason I can't pot them.

Google for yourself if you know what Google is and know how to use it.

Obviously a troll.

ROFL Im so ****ing reeruned and stupid, yet you can't post a ****ing link????????

And google what? What would you like me to google since you can't figure out how to post a ****ing LINK.

****in dumbass.

Wow.... you really are reeruned. I can't post a link b/c I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO FROM THE FORUM.

I hope you can read that.

PM me the links and Ill post them on here then. Forgot about that.

Your still a ****in reerun.

Charles has fumbled twice this year. Our team has three fumbles. Oakland has fumbled the ball 15 times...

Can't send PMs. Can't start threads, can't use a custom avatar, can post pics, can't post links, can't send messages on "walls", can't rep anyone, can't do shit except post.

Don't know why but it is what it is.

It's "You're still a ****in reerun" by the way. One of these days, you'll get it!! Keep your head up, tiger!!!

Shhh, don't confuse him with facts...

Is this what Nnamdi says to you while you're sucking his cock?

??? I've never met Nnamdi before and I'm also a heterosexual male. Sorry :( Your fantasy is just not gonna happen this time. There's a pic of a guy flopping his dick around in one of these threads though (I don't know why....). Maybe that will suffice til your boy comes home!!!!

Hope you make it through the day!!!


AHHHHH you're an OSU fan. Well some am I. Just not one of the annoying one's though. I see you fit the bill. Most of our fans are pompous pieces of shit. I'll give you another shot though to prove you're not one of them..... I have a feeling you are though :( :( :(

Thanks for giving our state a bad name.

You can type, can't you? Type the address.

Highlighted the only part Old man Al knew about him at the draft when he started waving pink slips at anyone that suggested they might be selecting him far too high.

Cool dude stats: The Illustrious Matt Cassel has turned the ball over three times. Oakland's QBs have ten turnovers.

Oh wait, maybe I can now................ hang on. I couldn't earlier today

Nope, nevermind:

Because you're new, dipshit. You wont be around after the game Sunday anyway, so it doesnt matter.

Other fans can do it that signed up when I did.

You're from Dayton also? Man, you people from Ohio give my state a bad name. I probably live 20 minutes from you :( :( :(

Just leave out the "." and put in an asterisk or something. Don't add any of the http or www stuff either.

The reason you can't post links until you hit a posting threshold is because there have been a few trolls who come in and span gay porn links and things like that. We don't mind opposing fan trolls who come in and trash talk like you've been doing, it's just the guys who go too far that ruin it for everyone. In general, this is a very lightly moderated message board.

Are you suggesting that Pollard had a drinking problem but was able to recover prior to going to the Texans?

Scotch-free?

I'm just trying to understand your post. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind trolls if they had any intelligence or originality

Next week, Raiderfan is going to troll another board bragging about Nnamdi not giving up any receptions against the Chiefs.

And the Raiders do? Oh sorry, I forgot that Zach Miller is a cross between Chuck Norris, Jesus Christ and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Dude you're such a tool it's not even funny. I don't give two craps if you're from Ohio or not, I wouldn't care if you were from my town, I would still call you a tool, I call it as I see it. Your homer love for the Raiders exceeds true fandom, and enters the realm of hilarious idiocracy.

LOL.

Go to Raiderfans.net and start a topic asking if I'm a homer. I dare you. Quit making the OSU stereotype about or fans being ****ing reeruns worse. Jump ship now!!!

I went over to some raider site and got the name Championship
to use over here =good times

Go to RFN to be cordial, go to Raideroutlawz.com to say whatever you want w/o fear of being banned. They don't ****ing care over there.

About our fans? You're a joke dude, everyone around here knows I love the Buckeyes, but I'm not unable to see defects in my teams. You act like the Faiders are the best thing since sliced bread. News Flash douche you're on a Chiefs board, this isn't first grade, you can't just put your bull crap on our refrigerator and expect us to fawn all over it.

hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha aaahhhh hahahahahaha couldn't be further from the truth. Again, I'm ashamed to be an OSU fan. I swear, love the team but the fans are ****ing reeruns.... majority.

Find ONE POST where I said anything remotely similar to what is bold. Go ahead. Go search on RFN and raideroutlawz.com also. Please. I dare you.

You know why you won't? B/c you know it's not true and you're being a piece of shit just to talk shit. Hell, I've even said in here the Chiefs will win the game. You're so ****ing stupid it amazes me. Turn in your Buckeyes, you're not worth being a fan of them. ****ing idiot.

:rolleyes: For the last time, I am not going to a Faiders site, I have no desire to. Secondly you exhibit your fandom when you continually talk about how much better the Raiders are than the Chiefs. Countless posts about how Nnamdi is Jesus, and Zach Miller is Tony G's father. I'm not talking crap, I'm just tired of reading your stupid posts, you will rebut anything anyone says on this site about the Faiders. There's no point in arguing with you, because you have the mentality of a child, yet I am the stupid one lol, ok silly Faider fan.

You remind me of a kid in high school who drives a turd rusted out honda and thinks it's the greatest car ever. You always go up to the kids with the nice cars and want to tell them why your car is really better, when it isn't, but you keep trying to convince them even when it's useless..

LOL

I have said Nnamdi is the best CB in the league, b/c he is. I have also said Miller is better than Moaeki b/c he is. There's no evidence against it. You are the one who is the true homer here and you will not to go to other sites b/c you know you are wrong.

Too bad you can't see past the exterior of the team I root for and instead generalize. Congrats on being a narrow-minded person.

Zach Miller (foot) and Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle) were both held out of Raiders practice Friday.
Miller missed every day of practice this week. He finished with just one catch for eight yards in Week 8 while trying to play through the injury. The Raiders had hoped he would play against the Chiefs, but it'd be sensible to hold Miller out this week and into a Week 10 bye to get him healthy. Raiders-Chiefs has a 4:15ET start, so Miller isn't worth waiting for in fantasy leagues. Asomugha definitely won't play, improving Dwayne Bowe's fantasy matchup. Nov. 5 - 1:46 pm et

Dude you're such a hypocrite, how am I narrow minded? Read the posts I have made about this game against the Raiders. I am the same way with the Buckeyes, I understand when my teams aren't the best. I said the Faid was a good team, and this game wasn't a walk. You should follow your own rules and read some of posts of the people you call "narrow minded".

Am I sitting here saying you're calling all the Chiefs players the same things you accuse me of? No. I have not once said such things yet you insist I'm a giant homer and keep making up shit.

Sorry man, you exploited yourself, I had nothing to do w/ it. I'm just calling you out on your massive BS.

These trolls are going to have the most delicious tears I've had in years. Queer tears.

So basically what you're saying is you like licking gay guys faces when they cry? I dunno, it's what I got out of your post. I hope your fellow fans accept your lifestyle.

Miller meh. He wasn't going to do anything even if he were healthy except get his nuts handed to him.

Nice evidence to support your claim!!!

Good God. Sunday cannot get here soon enough. These morons will be gone.

Amen brother.

I still believe that knowmo and this asshat are both clayton dupes trying to get under peoples skin.

So if Murphy and Miller don't play....the Raiders next leading receivers are...

McFadden ROFL 20 catches
Heyward-Bust 19 catches

Then it's a fullback! ROFL!

If Cassel doesn't shit himself we can win this.

So, you're bringing the hillbilly smack and you live in ****ing Ohio??

LMAO

I thought you were out in the People's Republic of Kalifornia. But you're just a cherry-picking wad of ****. And I don't know why you picked the Fade, but righteous choice ****-o.

*Psst* Go to the SW corner of your state and find some hillbillies. Trust me, you got 'em.

Even Tyler Thigpen won in Oakland

Zach Miller didn't practice again.

http://twitter.com/Jerrymcd/status/616046486626304

They're both so good that their mere presence on the sidelines will provide substantial intimidation.

Gotta love how he trashes the midwest for being hillbillies and he's a part of the midwest, what a tard.

He probably thinks the Midwest starts at the Indiana line.

I know who I am and I know where I'm from. I never once said the "midwest" either, did I?

Try putting more words into my mouth. Only makes you look more brilliant.
