You can talk about Flemming all you want, but that's a good sign that they felt he got better as the year went on. The fact that he was active for that game alone was a sign of that. He was essentially redshirted to learn the nickel spot. |

Him not trying to appeal that 4 game DUI suspension didn't seem right, like maybe a little fear of being injured before the FA period itis. Either way, worked out great for them. In the end, the stars are aligning for the Chiefs to have to take a CB pretty early again. With peters and his aggression/risk/reward style, I don't like having a rookie opposite him. |

Was it a good sign that they buried him again? Or that in the last 6 weeks of the regular season, he played all of 4 defensive snaps? There's really nothing to indicate that he improved as the season went on. His playing time doesn't suggest it and one play in coverage on Hopkins doesn't suggest it. Like Gaines - if you trust him to start next season, it's based on absolutely nothing but blind faith. There's not a single thing in his performance or use rate last season that suggests he's ready to be a player in this league or that he ever will be.

Good thing we aren't the front office/coaching staff, as they've had time in practice for an entire season to see what they have in him and make that decision themselves. I clearly stated I would prefer to sign a guy like Lane that can be insurance for both guys and compete for both jobs, so I don't know why you're even arguing with me here. As for Gaines, I have no doubt he can get the job done if he stays healthy. His biggest concern is health. Last edited by staylor26; 03-07-2016 at 05:23 PM.. |

Maybe they decide to replace SS with a guy like Brent Grimes, Pac Man or Lane...of course they could always see what it would take to get a guy like Jenkins.

Right now I wouldn't trust Gaines to guard a bucket of shit for the team, much less own a starting role on defense. Not until he proves he's not made of glass. |

And they chose to let him on the field for all of 50 more defensive snaps than you or I got...

I don't get it. Is that very jumpy? Or not jumpy at all?

I'm a bit concerned for our run defense, TBH.
Just the possibility of going from Hali, DJ, Howard, Devito, SS and Abdullah/Branch to Ford, March, King, Williams, Gaines and who knows what at safety is a bit unnerving. |

He never said that, anointing him a starter is quite optimistic based on his on the field performance.

He on the other hand implied it with his "not a good football player" statement, and lack of consideration that he might possibly be the guy they feel is our nickel. He's talking in absolutes. Not me. Learn to ****ing read. |
