He's trying to be like Clay.

I really would have rather signed canty if it were possible than Robinson, but I don't know what happened there.

I'm just not hugely concerned in our corner spot after looking around the league at the corner depth elsewhere. There's a lot of teams out there with a lot of meh.

But, I'm curious about the Abdullah in the nickel sets. It doesn't speak good about our corners either

I've known boss since my first days here, he showed me the ropes around here and was cool with me when I was learning the ins ad outs of cp.

So I'll refer to him in that if he says he's ok, he's ok.

And ftr, no one wants to be like clay.

However, there were some things that happened on here that I understandably think caused boss to throw on and extra outter shell.

That said, he gave the ok, and in my experiences with him he's always been a guy that will argue with me over shit then let it be over when it's over, so as usual I'm pretty sure boss and I are cool.

We ran a lot of sets in the preseason with 2 safeties and either Abdullah or Hartman as a third "safety" in the snaps where Dunta couldn't play. I really don't think that's the design of a defense being clever. I think that's the sign of a D-coordinator who is pretty unimpressed with our CB options. Abdullah isn't even a fast FS, he's more of a SS.

It'll be made worse that we have a center fielder in Kendrick Lewis who can't make plays. I don't have a good feeling about our secondary. And I feel like our front office was a little reckless in just pitching away depth.

1) Routt was the #2 corner, not covering an opposing "primary" receiver. He was consistently targeted, though. Quarterbacks make their livings throwing at guys like Robinson and Routt.

2) do you think he would fare better against the quicker and faster guys that commonly man the slot in today's NFL? I sure don't.

I'm not basing the grade of the whole secondary on Dante Robinson. Where did you get that from?

What I DID say was that opposing passers will avoid Flowers and Smith if they can target Robinson. I said it because it's true.

Also, if they plan on moving him to safety...he is getting paid like one of the best safeties in the whole league and is essentially a push of a guy that is making less than a million dollars and another FS (Hussain) that should be starting and is also making less than a million dollars (but will be looking for a payday after this season)

Sorry, but if I can chose between Lewis at less than a million or Robinson at 5-6 million...I'm choosing Lewis and spending that money elsewhere.

Just to give you an idea of what quality of player can be had for 5-6 million per year...think Elvis Dumervil.

Hopefully, not on defense.

Dunta

He, too, has seen the light.

There is no life in the void. Only checkdowns.

Demps is a perfectly fine option as a depth safety. Not sure I agree with you there.

Dunta may not cover anyone, but at some point he's gonna knock the **** out of some poor bastard crossing the middle...

Just a head up, it's "defer". Not being a dick, just a heads up.

This is some good discussion after the Dane/SNR whatever the **** that was.

My take, I'm worried as shit about the secondary not named Flowers or Berry and it seems like we've made a lot of moves to not get better.

However I'm choosing to believe that the dumping of seemingly serviceable players is power washing the mentality of the team rather than pure talent evaluation. But that may be a little pie in the sky on my part.

Again, it bears repeating, **** Pioli. Jesus what a franchise destroyer.

I think we have plenty of options at Safety. Abdullah and Demps aren't going to set the world on fire, but they'll do a solid enough job, in my opinion. And Commings is at least a ray of hope that change can eventually come.

At CB, if our starters get injured, we don't go from solid to "solid enough." We go from solid to dumpster fire. And you're right, it feels a bit like that's because we chose the power wash mentality. That power wash mentality recklessly let Arenas loose too soon, and I can't help but wonder if it led to a bit of a fiasco with our offseason offensive tackle situation.

People have no idea just how good the Chiefs defense is going to be. An attacking style defense with pass rushers the caliber of Hali and Houston, Poe blowing up linemen, and two big physical corners?

Lol. Poor Blaine

You just don't like me because I neg repd you a couple times and called you exactly what you are.

A football stupid poster that nobody respects the takes of.

There are very few things that Clay and I see eye to eye on, but those few things are the biggest moves of the offseason.

Alex Smith (who I am not against as a player, just the compensation given up for him. I said before the trade that I would have been ok with a third rounder for him. During my camp reports, I even said that I saw things in Alex that I saw in Trent Green when I went to every camp he was here...yeah, really Clayish)

Eric Fisher (waste of resource. Only a true fans cheer a pick like that and immediately start to tear Albert down)

Dante Robinson (guy will get burnt a lot if he is allowed on the field on defense. QBs will look for matchups against him every time he steps on the field)

Chase Daniel (we paid this guy as much as Kyle Orton got as a FA. Think about that)

Other than that, I've backed about every move they have made.
I consider you in the grou of posters that I wil probably always be cool with, no matter how hot it gets in the arguments because there is a mutual respect there that will never cause a line to be crossed.

In fact, I bet we grab a bite to eat after a game or a beer before one this year.

I'll be attending at least 3 games due to friends being big time fans of teams we face this year.

Believe me, when my friends and I argue over football IRL some choice words get thrown around that wouldn't be used if there wasn't a level of understanding between us.

Some people may not understand that.
