Did anyone notice Taylor Mays on the field against the Chiefs?
 

I noticed he was completely invisible. Completely. I don't even remember his name being called.

Mecca?

i heard his name twice.once because he was in on a tackle. another because, well.. maybe just once.

Oh snap!

I forgot Taylor Mays was even in the league...been a complete non factor so far this season.

lol

Taylor Swift?

hes a rookie... give him time

Uhhh...I really wouldn't get too cocky here.....mays is now the starting S for the 49ers...

OMG I HOPE WE NEVER HAZ TO PLAY THEM AGAINZ!!!!!11111

Yeah I wouldn't talk a bunch of smack about the "best rookie safties in years!!" Berry hasn't exactly been nails. All these guys need time...........even Berry.

He did 'disrupt' our special teams.

Lame.

Especially when Nate Allen, a second rounder, is owning.

So is Earl Thomas.

I hope I'm the first to say this..........Keep ****ing doubting Eric Berry.

No doubts here at all. Year three is going to be an absolute re-writing of the position.

Kids, get your ****ing Mead Notebooks at the ready!

Yup I even made a thread saying how Earl Thomas was a better player than Mays.

mecca is a moron...

I told everyone week 1 at work that Seattle was going to beat San Fran...

I laughed my ass off when San Fran was so heavily favored to win a division...even the NFC West...

49ers are definitely NOT making the POs. I would imagine they lost a ton of the O so important confidence required to win in NFL, when they left Arrowhead. Droppin to 3-0 in that fashion, by being dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball, pretty much put the nail in the coffin for that club in 2010.

Certainly didn't mention it on here. Mecca was obviously dead wrong, which he usually has been the last couple seasons, but Nobody said that the SH would thump the 49ers week one......Oh except you to your co-workers. Don't know why you didn't mention it here though.:D

BS He played @ USC and was top Safety.

I heard his name called on a few special teams tackles. Other than that, no.

So much of a rookie's success is predicated on the team around them.

I was not a huge Taylor Mays fan. But, the 49er implosion certainly isn't helping his chances of being successful.

3 games in. Let's not bury the kid yet.

Why not? McCuster , Arenas, and Moeaki were labeled bust before they played 1 game.

Who?

Not by myself.


But I do understand that the vocal minority of this board overreacted, and have since been silence by our rookies' perfomances.

They introduced him at the beginning of the game.

That was about it.

FAX

Exaggerate much?

Well, there was great gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, Mr. milkman.

You have to admit that.

FAX

No question.

There were a lot pf people with a lot of questions, some concerning the players themselves, some the position.

But who labeled any of them a bust before even a down was played?

Not much, nope. I was being a bit facetious but really, not much exaggeration.

LOL

I can't remember anyone ... although there's a lot of hyperbole around here during draft day ... well, come to think of it ... every day.

It wouldn't surprise me if, even though the "bust" word was not used, that the implication was there.

FAX

The term "Bust" wasn't used very much, but some people were very disappointed in the picks.

Call me crazy but completely bashing players, their ability to make an impact, calling them "gimmick" players, saying they will never even get on the field let alone contribute etc.....

That's calling them a bust, and you know of all the things said. I barely scratched the surface.

See GoChiefs article after we started 2-0.

The word "bust" does not have to be used to imply the same thing.

Beat me too it.

In other words, they didn't say "bust", but the fact that some didn't like the picks automatically implies "bust".

BUST


I miss warpaint

and danmit we are scoring touchdowns this year

Come on MM, you know damn well what was said and what the implications are.

we should rename this the "Butt Hurt Lounge"

Mecca is no different then others
it's the little toads that follow him around
hanging from his nuts that make him look bad

Why am I not surprised that Marcellus doesn't understand the arguments made against some of the 2010 draft picks (note the italics)?

If you want to discuss need vs pick etc... fine. Bottom line some people were calling them TERRIBLE picks. Not just the wrong choice in the spot, TERRIBLE.

Especially Arenas and Moeaki.

Arenas has played well at nickel as well as ST.

I understand what some of the arguments where, I also know that some people labeled them as busts. If you don't want to admit it, fine.

No. Mr. Mecca is very different than others, Mr. blueballs.

Almost as though he is like ... a Martian, or something. Or, some kind of devil-man who rips the still-living souls from mortals, dips the souls in a cornmeal and egg wash, then stuffs the souls down the garbage disposal so the souls wind up in the sewer and, eventually, the river, then the ocean where they are eaten by bacteria and turned into methane gas.

FAX

You could say both of those guys are owning Eric Berry as well.

Actually he's not. I had to argue with some ****ing idiotic moron who said that your second rounders should play at a HIGH level for 10+ years. So in other words, you should constantly be getting HoF type players in the second round for them to be considered worth that pick.

You yourself said it was a waste of a second round pick to use on McCluster because you could never see him holding up for very long in the NFL.

And while I don't remember anyone actually calling them busts as soon as they were drafted, I certainly remember a LOOOT of people berating Pioli for this past draft.

But like I said, that's why posters are posters and guys like Pioli win NFL executive of the decade and have multi million dollar NFL jobs.

Neither Nate Allen nor Earl Thomas are "owning". WTF was Thomas owning when Rivers threw for 1 zillion yards on that defense? Yeah he had two picks, but aside from that the guy has done nothing.

Berry is a BIG reason why the Chiefs are 3-0 and the run defense has improved. He's blown a couple of coverages. Big ****ing deal. So did Polamalu and Reed in their rookie years. Learning coverages and reads takes a little time for rookies. Once he gets that he's going to be the next great safety in this league.

I will never waiver on my take that Mecca is NOT really a Chiefs fan.

Mays also committed holding on a special teams play. That was the only play I noticed him on.

Oh Meccaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....come out to playyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

You could say whoever thought that would be a moron.

The fail is strong in this one.

I have never wavered from my belief that McCluster's long term durability has to be a concern.

And the argument was made that the goal for a second round pick that high should be to find a player that is a solid contributor for years.

Whether or not you are successful at that is irrelevent to the goal.

And a LOOOT of people berated this draft because of concerns about run defense and the O-Line.

I myself felt we needed to address the RT position even though I have been a vocal backer of Barry Richardson since he was drafted and felt that, given the opportunity, he would play well and grow into the position.

I just didn't believe he would be given the opportunity.

I also felt we needed to address the center position because I didn't think that Weigman would play as well as he has, and I still do have concerns about how well he holds up over the course of 16 games.

On defense, I expected Dorsey to step it up another notch, but still felt that we needed to address NT because I had no faith in either Edwards or Smith.

I also had the same concerns at ILB, because I never expected DJ to step up, and I never saw Belcher playing lights out the way he has (though I did believe he was a far better option than Mays).

I readily admit that I underestimated the impact that Crennell would have on this defense, as I believe that many others did as well.

The two positions that were discussed repeatedly over the off season that I felt pretty good about was LT, because I have been the #1 supporter of Albert since long before the draft, and guard, because I htought Lilja was a good pickup and told people he was the best run blocker on that Colts O-Line, and was a good pass blocker who didn't get credit because of Manning.

He's on the Later Days Bandwagon.

Taylor "freaky" mays and Brian "toilet brush" orakpo, as someone's signature says?

How exactly are they owning Berry? Berry has been a monster on run defense stop comparing him to Earl ****ing Thomas! Just because he got to interceptions in one game. Big ****ing whoop he gets burnt like toast every other play. And to top that when they played Denver go back and watch him he can't stop the run for shit. I was at the game last Sunday Berry was a hell a lot better against San Francisco and he had to guard Davis half the time and shut him down. Berry is light years ahead of Earl Thomas end of discussion! :mad:

Last year, when the Chiefs were 0-3, Mecca lived on this board.

This year, the Chiefs are 3-0, and Mecca is around here much, much less.

I doubt it's some coincidence.

I reckon that, should Berry get a pick or two, people will start talking about him as one of the better safeties in the league.

Big plays make big names. Run support is for unsung heroes.

FAX

People bitching about Eric Berry should **** themselves with a rusty shovel.

This is the key for me too. In no way did I think that Crennell would have the front 7 playing like they have been. He took a set of DL and LB that looked like they were two pieces and a season or two away from being good and made them good practically overnight. Granted, there were posters on here that did think that this would happen, but their "argument" to support it was 100% hope.

BECAUSE of the progress that the front 7 has made, the 2nd round luxury picks I thought were made two years too soon all of a sudden don't look like they were made too soon.

x2

I didn't realize they were trying to sell oxyclean at the game.

:facepalm:

While I understand the need to improve the front 7 going into the draft, or the belief we needed to draft players in that area, I wouldn't call either 2nd round pick luxury picks.

Neither player is just a return guy.

Arenas is playing a ton of nickel as well as returning kicks. It's not like he hasn't contributed on defense. That's a 2 for 1 pick.

McCluster ditto, a 2 for 1 draft pick and he has scored 2 TD's (in 2 different ways) in 3 games. That's not a luxury player. That's an impact player.

Obviously it is early in the careers of the entire league wide 2010 draft class but no team has had more production out of their 2010 class than KC has to this point.

quit comparing him to sean taylor

Might as well shut the Planet down for the day. No one is surpassing this.

Only reason his name was called in the game is when Arenas juked him out of his USC jock strap. Mecca ran onto the field to collect the jock strap tho.

ROFL


Nice.

This.


When I read his post I shot milk through my nose old-school/grade school style.

Lewis > Mays

Really showed off his 4.3 speed doing it too...

To be fair, he just scored a defensive TD off a blocked punt. Nicely done too. caught the ball at the very back of the EZ, and tapped his toes JUST short of the line for a score.

Well done Mays.

Yep he just scored a d TD. 9ers rollin

Ok I dunno if you have nfl ticket but i do and 49ers just blocked a kick in the endzone off Atlanta and he jumped up caught the ball and came down in bounds with both toes was quite amazing! I have to give props to Taylor Mays there on special teams. :eek:

I finally bench 9er's D for sucking and they start doing something again.

And look at who just scored a touchdown.

Woot!! He scored a TD off a blocked punt!! Woot! He's just like Jon McGraw!! HELL YEAH!

Hey GC, start a thread next week about how much Cassel Sucks, please. We could use the reverse mojo.

Mays has the potential to be the next Vernon Ghoulston.

He's leading the team in tackles today and he has a touchdown, you ****ing dumbass.

I'll eat my crow. Too bad Mecca won't.

LMAO
HEY! I CaN HAS SmARTz toO BY CaLlINg EvrYboDEE NAmeZ Too! ****IN DUMASS!
