Trotter "almost a LOCK" to sign with the Chiefs!!! - Page 6

**DaKCMan AP** · 03-02-2005, 12:04 PM

Mort just reported this on ESPNews when he mentioned that Trotter's in KC today.

Philly let Trotter go because they have a young MLB already that they like. Trotter was actually the back up. Forget the Wash fiasco. He played for Spurrier who had bad coaches and no clue as to what he was doing.

Mitchells tackles were mostly after a 5-7 yard gain at the minimum, and after a couple of failed attempts to strip the football, he finally decided to go for the tackle.

Also take into count the number of plays. I'm sure the Eagles had far less offensive plays against them than our D did, giving up long drives.

No, he suited up for 15 games. He started 11 I think. But the first two he started he was still hurt, so he went back to the bench.

He wasn't fully healthy until week 7.

Of course, it's moot. Comparing him to Trotter is just plain stupid.

You left out that Mitchell's best years will be half as productive as Trotter's worst.

Trotter is only 27, i doubt he will slow down anytime soon unless he gets hurt.

**petegz28** · 03-02-2005, 01:15 PM

Trotter was in the backfield more in the Super Bowl than Mitchell was all year! Plus Trotter understands the concept of TACKLING. Go figure!

Was Trotter taken out in passing situations? I thought he was a two down MLB.

Think that's true.

I agree except I question Mitchell's potential. Thus far he has shown nothing to make me think that he'll be anything but a Spacial Teamer or decent depth. What can he do well? Maybe blow up screens from time to time but he's far from being a starting MLB in the NFL and he hasn't shown anything, on game day at least, to suggest that he can be.

I'm not reading through this whole thread, but looks like it's a done deal!

That's fine with me. If he can stop the run you can bring in Stills (Although not a MLB) for the pass rush on passing downs and mix things up that way.

Hell, I don't think Mitchell could find the backfiled, if you gave him a map, and gave him hand written instructions.

it's not like signing Trotter (or any other MLB) means we are cutting Mitchell.

Mitchell will be in position to take over at starting linebacker as soon as he shows he capable of doing so.

Why do you want to bring in Stills.
He's only had something like 4 sacks in 5 years.

That's supposed to be his specialty.
If's that's so, imagine how much he sucks in every other aspect.

Cut him, I say.
He's ****in' useless.
