I don't know how we'd measure that because I'm not interested in using PFF stats at all.

Yeah. No problem.

It's not like he will need to be able to cover guys like Victor Cruz, Wes Welker, Jackson, Austin, Bess and others.

He should be just fine.

Amirite?

Both Paltry #s, and both teams gave the QB WAY too much time.

That will not be the case this season.

You are putting too much stock into a scheme/coordinator change.

The players have stayed the same and even though I see the potential for an increase in sacks, it's not gonna happen overnight.

And last year as a starting corner, he had to face bigger and better WRs. So this is a downgrade for him.

Once again, you can't find more than 10 nickel backs in the league better than him.

?

Is the secondary only as good as dunta then?

I was on my phone, meant to say defer

That simply isn't true. Plenty of teams are moving their marquee receivers into the slot for favorable matchups (Calvin Johnson, Marques Colston, Boldin) for a large quantity of snaps.

These are the receivers that Robinson is going to see quite a bit in the slot this season:

Cecil Shorts, Miles Austin, Desean Jackson/Avant (unsure of how much Jackson will spend time there), Nate Washington, Victor Cruz, Welker, Reggie Wayne.

If we have him cover whoever is lined up in the slot, yes problems.

However, iirc they've been moving flowers into the slot

I believe sutton will have him in favorable matchups most of the time or matchup that he can handle

When teams move bigger WR to slot (Calvin Johnson for example) they can also play match ups on defense and move another CB to cover the slot.

People act like the defense is set in stone and cant move guys around as well.

This isn't an issue unique to KC hell look at the AFCW, how many teams have 3 above average CB's? What about 4 when teams go 4 wide?

Ladarius Webb
Cortland Finnegan
Kyle Arrington
Tyvon Branch
Leon Hall
Casey Heyward
Antrel Rolle
Buster Skrine
Brice McCain
Brandon Boykin
Greg Toler
Chris Harris


And while these players are unproven in the slot, I'd rather have them as well:
Tim Jennings, Nickell Roby, and Kenny Vaccaro.

I disagree and think he was a good signing. I bet he's the fastest CB on our roster. He is still really fast. He is fantastic against the run. He is a bump and run CB and we are clearly moving in that direction. That's why we signed Cooper and let Brown go. Switching to bump and run coverage might end up being the biggest change in our defense.

Dunta was signed to counter Denver signing Welker. When we play Denver, I bet you see Dunta lined up outside and Flowers in the slot over Welker. We then have our best match up with Welker and two big CBs to cover their taller outside guys. Robinson and Smith will make or break us against Denver.

I am not crowning the guy by any means but, he is a very good player and a good signing imo. He's no Stanford Routt.

I believe that was just during OTAs. I haven't read anything about it in TC or seen it during the preseason. It is possible that that's fluid and will change during the regular season.

Webb isn't a nickel for the ravens I thought?
