I think he’s going to be the most impactful player traded

Scrubbing the Patriot stink off & Noah Gray helped

Spags can help him regain his form from a few years ago.

5-5 stay onside

Noah gray what?

My dawg, 5-5, and he ain't offsides, Mother ****in Frank Clark!!! All-time great speech!

We put teams in 3rd and long alot. Minchew shouldn't have been converting some of those

They didn’t rush him for shit this year. Mayo didn’t like him for some odd reason. They also never get to pin their ears back. This guy is definitely an 8 or so sack guy a year here.

This is how you eventually replace Chris Jones. Get a lot of “good” caliber rushers like Omenihu, Karlaftis and Uche. You’re gonna have to continue stack those guys

When Judon got hurt they didn't have another good pass rusher last year. They traded Judon this season, still didn't have a good pass rusher to pair with him. In 2022 Uche and Judon were both double digit sack guys. I'll be very surprised if Uche doesn't cause havoc in this defense out of the gates. In theory if Spags wants to layer his pass rush like other teams are doing with one DE taking their arc deeper to the QB, the opposite DE taking a shallower arc, and then the interior pressure from Jones.

Does this mean we just threw away the 7th rounder for Cam Thomas?

Wasn't that a conditional pick? Cause if so I highly doubt he has met those.

NVM, it wasn't conditional

Eh, they'll get a 7th back I am sure with compensatory picks. It is what it is, gotta swing sometimes at the risk of missing.

I'll never quite understand their approach on these late camp draft pick trades for DL that they don't use at all.

I guess I just wonder what it is they saw that compelled them to make the move. I don't care a whit about the 7th rounder, but why did you go get the guy at all if you had so little use for him?

They're in line for two compensatory picks (both 7th rounders).

Gotta be a Joe Cullen thing? I mean I trust the guy, but it is odd.

Even if it's a Cullen thing, even when Danna went down you couldn't find a dozen snaps for the guy?

If he's still buried behind Malik friggen Herring, what could there POSSIBLY have been on tape to convince you that he was worth acquiring?

Sometimes I wonder if there's a bit of a disconnect between the front office and coaching staff on these smaller moves in the margins. But in an organization this well run, that seems unlikely.

I mean, unless they asked Cullen while he was out there running a drill and he was just like "Sure, fine, whatever - have at it Brett. I'm sure it'll be great...{blows whistle}..."

Herring played 40% of the snaps last week and he's the Jaggiest Jag to ever Jag.

Friendly reminder that this appears to have pre-dated Cullen. Not saying he didn’t push for the kid but the Chiefs met with Uche when he was in the draft process. I remember us talking about him being a nice fit here. I bet Veach liked this kid. I remember Veach saying in a presser that they run through everybody in the draft process in case they are ever available in future years, like this move.

Thanks Dante for making the prospect tracker threads every year. They come in clutch for times like this.

Slow Wednesday, finally started to imagine 3rd-and-9 with a four man front of


Uche - Wharton - Jones - Karlaftis

or...

Jones - Omenihu - Karlaftis - Uche

Dare I say it could be as close to what Spags had in NY 2007 as any package since?

I just read that and was thinking "wtf is this dude talking about? I'm not sure I understand 95% of his posts."

99-99.9% of his posts are like this and I'm always wondering how he keeps it going. Has he been like this since 2001?

40 fingers > 39 fingers

Baffles me.

JPP never played for Spags, if that's what you are getting at...

I would venture to say the current Chiefs D line is better. Spags had Strahan-Tuck-Umenyiora-Robbins in 2007/

I think it’s blueballs

I'm tired of reading about the OL.

Has this guy done anything worth mentioning?

Nope

This week is the sort of game that should help illustrate why we got him. Hope he shows out.

He looked good against the Bucs and did absolutely nothing against Denver.

The DL writ large looked so bad against Denver that I still think it had to have been an overarching contain strategy. What they were doing in that game just didn't make sense to me.

Could be. Bo didn't get any cheap rushing yards this week

I was expecting him to be Josh Allen lite. The only time he ran, he ran backwards 16 & 17 yards.

It felt like they worked the field side a ton with stretch plays & screens to get 1x1's on the outside.

The KCSN postgame cracked jokes about how it seemed a blitzer came through, Nix just ran the other direction like a Looney Tunes cartoon.

He tried that little designed run and FAU flattened his ass so they didn't call another keeper.

I have no idea what Spags was doing the 2nd quarter and last drive. I was shocked that Spags only rushed 4 here on the money down and the DE’s appeared to keep contain.

Why would you not blitz him here? Makes no sense. Are we saving looks for if we meet them in the playoffs?

My question would be why are both ILB's chasing the RB there instead of one sitting in the MOF hook zone.

I read somewhere before the game that Nix was significantly worse when he stood in the pocket and tried to go through his progressions/reads than he was under pressure, mostly because of his legs. Maybe Spags was trying to get him to play from the pocket based on those metrics?

Yeah looks like Tranquil was out of position, which made the throw way easier.

Jesus what where they doing? 3 people keyed in on the RB

Not sure what was happening there. Watching that again I see that the running back drew 3 chiefs defenders with him in the flat. Looked like a blown assignments.

Watch Bolton and Tranquill there - both guys took the flat and neither got depth over the middle. And both seemed to think they were spying.

Someone missed a call there.

EDIT:

Well damn, O.City finally beat me to the punch. He's learning!

I think it’s because Spags expected them to run something quick like a screen since they were already in field goal range

I expect to see more Uche this week. Last week was a strange strange game plan.

THREE guys jumped on the back in the flat. The ****? I did not notice that live.

Tranquill and Bolton running side by side to the same spot. :shake:

Watching this again. The “Bo Nix torched the Chiefs” narrative is not exactly accurate.

It was far more the Chiefs playing sloppy.

That big TE gain that was wide open was bc Nazeeh and Tranquill ran into each other. The first TD was Bolton thinking Tranquill was covering the WR that was open. The big play at the end was 3 players going to the Rb leaving the middle open.

Bo wasn’t good. The Chiefs defense was bad. Ton of sloppy mistakes they haven’t made all year.

All stuff that should be cleaned up.

Okay.. This week would be a good week for him to contribute… Big games like this and the playoffs are why we traded for this guy..

So, is this a case of they were caught looking ahead to the Bills?

Lord knows we've done it before. The week before big ones it seems like were flat more often than not.

Short week after an OT win, Bills 1 week ahead.

I kinda felt the Broncos game coming. No one was talking about it, same old Donx are bad rhetoric. Seemed ripe for a painful game going either way.

It would explain a LOT.

Like I said when the game was over - I really don't know how we won it. There just wasn't a position group on the field where I could confidently say "Okay, those guys played well today..."

Safeties were as close as I got. Reid was as good as he's capable of being, IMO. Cook was solid.

But otherwise, that whole team just didn't have it. It wasn't much different than the Christmas Day game - just a better outcome.

Guy’s barely farted near a QB since arriving here

I noticed that he created pressure on one play, but only noticed him a few times in the game

Can we trade him back?

If he was any better, I'm guessing the Patriots would have re-signed him. He was brought in as a depth signing.

Josh Allen was playing out of his damn mind. He's a really good QB. We'll be fine.

Andy? Is that you?

More like Dee Yugo amirite

ya he's pretty much last on the depth chart

if anyone expected him to come in and start is insane

Blockbuster trade

Thanks God Veach traded for this guy instead of Lattimore.......

I think everyone would give that 3rd for a 3 peat....corner is a huge concern

Everyone but Nagy is having a down season

Yeah but then it was all "oh that's WAYYYY too much" but here we are, seeing weekly that outside of McDuffie all our corners are absoultely getting wrecked each week

Veach rolled the dice and missed. I get where his head was thinking that with a formidable pass rush we could get by at CB. Problem is that against guys like Josh Allen who get rid of the football quickly it doesn’t work. If we have to face them again in the playoffs at full strength this Chiefs secondary I don’t think will be up to the task. Johnson will continue to get cooked. So will Cook.

Chiefs pass rush isn’t getting sacks. Maybe Omenihu changes that?

What a miserable ****ing whiner 9-1. Get lost!

We were in the Lattimore sweepstakes but the Commanders swooped in and paid a fools ransom for him.

A pass rusher was a need and we got him for peanuts

How's he done?

That's a lie Williams hasn't even let up a TD this season.

They're deliberately saving him for the playoffs just like all the good passing plays the offense isn't currently calling.

ROFLROFLROFL

They played well we played below our best they won a close game , but to lose your mind after losing to a good team after winning 15 in a row back to back superbowl, some of you must have just miserable lives .

The 2000 Ravens gave up a 30+ point game in their season

Just saying :shrug:

Been surprisingly dog-s***. Still, maybe he'll improve as he gets up to speed?

What is surprising ? Half of his career sacks came in one year when the Pats got Judon and Judon was wrecking. I live in NH and watched all of his games . He is a one trick pony - speed rush. Can’t do anything else . Belichick the commentator endorsed him. Belichick the coach couldn’t find him snaps . It was an ok gamble because we gave up nothing . He could make a big play at some point in time but the love fest when we got him was pretty delusional

The Chiefs happened to have a need for Uche’s one trick. Also, where were you making these proclamations when the trade was made?

Beat me to it but yeah, it's a useful trick and the one obviously missing from our DEs

He played 5 snaps.
