What happened to our safeties?

[RunKC]

wtf is going on. They all look like shit.

Conner, Reid and Cook have all struggled massively in coverage the last month. It’s been really really bad especially the last 2 games.

Josh Williams actually played really well today but the safeties continues to get killed.

And Cook…good ****ing God man how do you whiff that badly on an open field tackle in the flag.

That’s a huge reason we are struggling. It’s worse than corner now that Nazeeh is benched

[New World Order]

Liked how Williams played.

Conner and Cook are getting… cooked

[RollChiefsRoll]

Reid had a good game? Cook had one busted coverage for a TD. But overall I thought the secondary was pretty good today.

[LagunaSWana]

Could Hicks really be worse than Cook and Connor at this point? I think Reid has been really good most of the year.

[Womble]

Reid is a solid 7.5/10 every game. Dunno why the **** you are bringing him into this.

Cook got Cooked today

The safeties played better when Sneed and McDuffie were balling. Now they're having to cover up for bad CB play. Cook is mediocre at best. Reid is one of the better players at his position believe it or not but he's not a world beater. He's not Eric Berry pre-Haglund.

I said this during the GDT, but we need a safety who can lay big hits. We haven't had that in a long time.

I'd like to see Reid return but not sure if the salary cap will allow it.

Maybe Hicks can be that guy next year?

Hopefully. I like Hicks so far. I don't know though whether he's ready to replace Reid next season.

Conner was improving also but he's had a rough patch lately like the rest of the defense.

3 missed FGs

When the CBs go from the biggest strength on the defense to the biggest liability it's going to have massive ripple effects throughout the whole defense.

They are all box type safeties. So is Jaden Hicks. Coverage has never been their best traits. I'm surprised we don't value coverage skills more in our safeties but apparently we don't.

Not buying this. Nazeeh wasn’t a major issue last week and Josh Williams took over playing well.

The safeties have been beaten badly since the Buffalo game. The blitzes leaving them in single coverage has been a disaster.

Aidan O’Connell passed for 340 yards and two touchdowns - the best game of his career, a week after giving up the best game in Bryce Young’s career. This passing defense has been really bad since Watson went down.
