:facepalm:

Are you trolling me or something? You know full well I wanted him as a backup.

Im not trolling you dumbass Im telling you still wanted him here. Youre the ****ing troll constantly bashing every ****ing move this organization makes

If you would pull your head out of your butt you would realize I've only been bashing two moves.

You bashed the Donnie Avery acquisition.

No I didn't. I said I liked it.

I did point out he led the league in drop percentage, but no FA is perfect. I was simply passing along info.

I don't want to dismiss the opinions of other fans, and the PFF rating out of hand.

There are knowledgable fans in every fanbase, and their opinions here on Sean Smith, and the rating by PFF should raise some concern.

I, however, for my part will not voice an opinion about the signing since I have little tono personal knowledge.

And seriously, giving shit to Claythan for "flip-flopping"?

Opinions can't change based on new info?

In Peter King article. "Bob Sutton's scheme is about 85-percent press man." said Chiefs GM John Dorsey

John Dorsey in King article:"we think Sean's the type of physical corner who fits the defense perfectly."

While the FAs we've signed aren't all that I'm of the mind that Reid and Dorsey know who will fit in with what Reid wants to do with this team. Some folks are poopooing Sean Smith but our DC has seen him play up close twice a year for the last three to four years. They know what they're getting. I have feeling that this applies to all the guys we've signed.

Peter King endorses this deal. IT MUST BE AWESOME

5. Kansas City: CB Sean Smith, three years, $18 million. At 6-foot-3, Smith is one of the biggest corners in league history -- and six inches taller than the two Chief starters last year. In a division (and league) with receivers getting taller every season, it looks like a smart deal. "[Defensive coordinator] Bob Sutton's scheme is about 85-percent press man, and we think Sean's the type of physical corner who fits the defense perfectly,'' said GM John Dorsey.

Press man and TAMHOOOOOOOUSSSS being let loose on the outside :drool: :)

This guy must be good, my buddy got 3 INTs off me with him on Madden the other night!

I like this: Think it speaks to Smith even though this isn't our coach.

@DonBanks: Chip Kelly on body type he looks for: "We want taller, longer people, because big people beat up little people.'' Makes perfect sense to me.

well, the problem with taller corners is that you often sacrifice 'quickness'. Their straight line 40 yd dash speed may be just fine, but it tends to take taller, longer players a little longer to get moving. This is why 6'3" corners are rare. WR's can be taller because they know where they're going on their routes; the CB has to react, and do so QUICKLY. This may be obvious to some of you, but bears clarification.

Press coverage would help a bigger corner, for sure. If you can knock a WR off his route, you have the upper hand. I would think that Sean Smith would pretty much ONLY be effective in press-man. I would think he would struggle in zone coverages as it's nearly impossible for him to 'outquick' a receiver at his size.

I agree. It seems to me that Sean Smith would be perfect covering a TE in passing situations.

Coach Andy Reid insists Dunta Robinson will be competing for a starting corner job.

Reid even said that Robinson would be his No. 1 corner if they were going to practice now. This flies in the face of previous speculation that the ex-Falcon would be shifting to safety in Kansas City. No matter how this all shakes out, the Chiefs are going to have one of the better coverage secondaries in the league with Robinson, Brandon Flowers and Sean Smith.
