The simplest answer is they simply wanted a better cover backer, but who knows? |

None of our LBs are great in coverage, but I'd argue they're better than they were a year ago. Harris was the weak link in that regard in 2022, and this guy looks better at it, so looks like a solid W for KC?

I'm not sure Harris was any worse in coverage than the rest to be honest. It was the relative weakness across the group. With Tranquil it's gone, we have guys who can blitz rush, stuff the run, bottle up a running QB and now cover over the middle. It's an outstanding group, or certainly should be next year.

Probably a better judge than me, just think it's one of those small weaknesses that always felt like it could crop up with whoever we had out there...not that it mattered in the end. But it's cool seeing us just slam the door on this before anyone got the idea of exploiting it.

Back in the day coverage wasn’t really a problem for a linebacker all Willie Lanier had to do was grab a guy and pull his arms off so he couldn’t catch the ball

Or just try to take the receiver's head off. 'Separate the man from the ball.' Miss the good ole days as well.

It's interesting, no doubt. He's better than Gay and Chenal are right now. Hard to truly gauge if Veach has something up his sleeve or if it's just a lucky signing that gives us a really good rotation.

I'd think if it was something they thought of as a replacement, it woulda been for more than 1 year.

Harris coverage grades were horrible. Hell of a tackler and smart, but able to be targeted in coverage.

That wouldn't be smart for Tranquill though. No point in locking himself up to a multiyear deal when he can come in, prove that he deserves a long term contract and then have that shot next year. If he does well, then the Chiefs will have to either sign him or he'll find another team.

It just seems to be a position of little value to teams unless you are a real difference maker and an athlete. |
