Gunther on Surtain
 

“The most important thing about Patrick Surtain is that he’s a tremendous cover guy. He comes up with the ball and he gets turnovers. He fits the mold of James Hasty or a Dale Carter in terms of his coverage skills. He’s a playmaker. He brings an attitude and intensity to our secondary. Opposing teams are going to know that he’s out there and are going to have to account for him. Hopefully his leadership will inspire confidence in the rest of our defensive backs and the rest of our defense.

“The number one priority for our defense in the off-season was to add explosion. When the Kansas City Chiefs were a force on defense, you could the feel the explosion and you could see the turnovers. Sammy Knight and Patrick Surtain have proven they can take the ball away. Kendrell Bell gives us the ability to have a blitzing linebacker who can wreak havoc on the quarterback in the passing game. Carlos Hall does the same thing. He can close fast on the quarterback or the ball carrier. To me, the work that Carl (Peterson), Denny (Thum), Coach Vermeil and the entire organization has put in has been tremendous. They developed a plan and the plan was followed. We targeted specific players and we’ve added four players to our defense who I consider to be playmakers.”

Yep

Yeah, this is going to be a great year!

I also think getting Surtain will entice Shields to keep going. With the additions on Defense you got ot be thinking you got a chance for a ring.

Still pissed off that they didn't do this last year.

LOS GUNTHER KICK YOUR ASS!
LOS GUNTHER KICK YOUR FACE!
LOS GUNTHER KICK YOUR BALLS INTO OU-TER SPACE!

ditto gunther...you crazy german

Gunther: "Last year we lined up a bunch of pu$$ies"

I just got a woody.

If Gunthers Happy.Thats all I care about.

And you know when Guns Happy with the players he's got,its gonna be a good year.

Just hope its more Hasty and less Carter...

actually when focused, Dale carter was a much better cover corner IMO

For sure

Damn I like the sound of that. I just hope like holy hell that it comes to fruition. I must give Carl props for taking a chance and trading for Surtain.

And when not focused, well...

I'm re-excited about KC Chiefs football...
The front office has DONE something for the defense...

I still wonder if DV can spell defense. he should with this group...
