Chiefs Secondary? Who starts?

Couch-Potato · 06-10-2015, 09:14 AM

I really like what we did to improve our secondary this year, but who starts?

Smith
Peters
Gaines
Nelson
Cooper

Parker
Branch
Abdullah
Commings

I'm assuming Smith, Peters and Gaines start at CB, but Parker or Branch at SS? Will commings finally get a shot at FS?

Also, bonus Q: Do you think we will see Houston, Hali and Ford on the field at the same time more this year? When?

Starting CBs: Smith and Peters
NCB: Gaines
FS: Parker
SS: Branch
Third safety: Abdullah
IR: Commings

This makes a lot of sense to me, but I think Abdullah will be the starter at SS. I'm hoping that Nelson comes along as the dime back, but think that he may get a season on the bench while Fleming plays the dime.

I think this is accurate, but I wouldn't be surprised if Gaines is starting. He's gotten stronger and has looked good so far.

Branch will break apart in midair before midseason. I really don't give a shit about his signing this offseason since he'll never be on the field anyway.

Parker and Abdullah will start for most of the season I imagine.

Heh, I completely forgot about Branch.

It will be interesting to see how Peters and Nelson can get caught up this coming week. I wouldn't make the assumption that they will be ready to start. They are rookies and have missed a lot of practice.

I would love to see Ford out there with Houston and Hali. That would be truly scary for opposing QBs.

Probably just roll with the starting lineup from last year.

Smith and Fleming on the outside, Gaines at nickel, Parker at FS, and Abdullah at SS. Branch is the first guy off the bench.

Ideally, Peters will be given every opportunity to take Fleming's spot. We'll probably be looking at Peters and Gaines on the outside and Nelson at nickel after this season.

No way in hell should Fleming be starting. The dude is a JAG. This year's Marcus Cooper. If he starts over Gaines and Peters, we got a problem, man.

He seemed to do rather well last season, no?

He isn't just a guy.

He's a solid corner in a league where it's tough to find good coverage corners. He was drafted in the third round of the 2012 draft and was rated as the 7th best corner in the class. When he played, he held his own.

To be honest, I think it would be smart to try and trade him to a team in need of a starting corner and try to get a linebacker for him.

I'd LOVE to see us move him to Philly for Kendrick's. They were desperate enough to give Maxwell a massive deal and I'm sure would love to add Fleming.

Then that would give Bausby and Fox a chance to make the team and contribute while adding a quality starter at a position of need.

What evidence do you have that he isn't?

You think he has trade value?

Dude for real? Fleming has trade value as a starting Corner is this league? C'mon man. The homer is strong in you today.

To this point, Fleming has done dick in this league.

That's some epic homer level shit.
