I really like our corners right now.

I don't know which Mod changed the forum name to Overreaction Planet, but threads like these are a good indicator of why they would.

And I say this because Staylor is definitely this board's biggest homer at this point. I like him for it as much as I like Clay keeping everyone honest on the deficiencies of this team.

OTOH, Detox I believe is still reeling a bit from that missed tackle against Houston and doesn't want to let it go.

The fact is, Gaines is right in the middle of the argument between these two that everyone else has been trying articulate, that nobody hears because those two are going back and forth so much.

No, my concern arose from the Chargers game. To be fair to Gaines, everyone was missing tackles that game.

I made a comment that i want to see our corners tackle better and i immediately got jumped because how dare i not wear my Chiefs tinted glasses.

I bring up the Houston game because i find it ironic that my concerns were proven justified.

But of course Staylor is too much of a bitch to accept that my concerns are valid, so here we are.

I guess I missed all that. I'm just going off of what I've seen lately in the last few days.

No, this started week 1 after that atrocious shit show for 3 quarters.

But you know, everything is all peachy according to Staylor.

I'm the boards biggest homer, yet there were plenty people with bolder predictions than myself for this season.

You act like that's some kind of insult. I think it's a compliment personally. I wish I was the board's biggest homer. You think KnowMo gives a **** about anything when he reads up and watches football? No. He's convinced the Broncos are the best team on Earth and they're not. **** their Super Bowl. They're lucky as ****, but you couldn't convince him. I used too be that way. Wish I still was.

I'm much more capable of being critical than KnowMo. I just don't have ridiculous expectations, so I haven't been disappointed with this regime yet. When I am, believe me, everybody will know .

If I were KnowMo, I'd be hyping up Tyler Bray, for example.

Fair enough bro. I wasn't trying to be critical, I enjoy your posts. Folks around here can attest that I'm pretty blunt if I don't like someone. Same as you. I save my passive aggressive bullshit for DC. That's the only place I troll much anymore.

Hahahahahahahaha....you just complimented someone by comparing them to Knowmo.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

And i think i've been very fair regarding Gaines. I've noted his speed, quickness, and his ability to stick to a receiver. I have NO ISSUE declaring positive traits.

I also have no issue declaring negative traits, which Staylor can't stand to hear.

I simply hate the way certain posters act as if tackling isn't important for corners. It absolutely ****ing is, as demonstrated by the Houston game, and certain plays in the SD game.

And no, i am not referring to the Travis Benjamin play that Staylor keeps harping about.

I don't give a shit about that play and that play was never the reason i called out Gaines for his tackling. I attacked that play only when ****nuts thought it was worthy of praise.

My railing against Gaines in that SD games had nothing to do with that T. Benjamin play.

The reason I think you're being too hard on him is because of his age and actual game experience. He's raw IMO. That's natural. That's all I'm saying.

That's all I'm saying too. He's just blowing it out of proportion, probably because one of his missed tackles (and the one he's most focused on) just happened to come at a crucial moment of the game. A game in which just about every other Chief on the field made a bad play that could've made a difference.

Let him tell it, and I'm over here saying Gaines is the next Deion, but a WAY better tackler.

Now why would i be focused on a crucial missed tackle (and missed coverage)?

Think loooong and hard about that one.....

Again, i brought this to your attention in WEEK ONE. I said he needs to clean that up or this COULD cost this team moving forward.

What was your response to that? "Oh bullshit, you don't know! You're blowing it out of proportion"

And then what happened in week two?

Maybe YOU shouldn't blow off a valid concern.....

I don't think im being hard on him at all.

Have i called him bad?

Have i said he was shit?

Have i said he shouldn't be starting?

I've never said anything like that. That's all hyperbole brought on by ****nuts Staylor.

What i said is that he's a poor tackler and has never been a ballhawk. I said i want to see him improve on those parts of his game because right now he's an incomplete player. I've said that those deficiencies are going to cost this team from time to time so he needs to fix them in order for this defense to play at a championship level, and i have provided a solid example of that.

That's what i've been saying this ENTIRE time.

It's not my fault Staylor has such a hard on for every player on the roster that he has to contort my position.
