Is... is Kendall Fuller not that good?
I was expecting a ton of PBU’s and QB’s avoiding his side of the field... instead, he falls down a bunch, gets beat and gets flagged for PI a lot.
Perhaps that’s just my impression. Is it scheme? Youth? Wha ha happen? |
This defense has ebolaids. EVERYONE is infected.
|
He forgot how to play defense is what I suspect.
|
Good defensive players become bad players when they join the Chiefs. Their ability levels go down, even though they should be in their prime years. Impossible to say why as there is no common link.
|
Definitely not as good as Peters was.
|
I personally haven't watched many of the all 22 looks but I can't imagine the safties are giving any help to our corners the way they should be. Even just mentally I think that can have an impact. On the surface I am disappointed but I still expect him to be a player we are happy to have. It's really hard to gauge anything with this defense.
|
He has always been a slot corner.
Pretending any differently was Veach’s problem from the beginning. |
eh, i think he's playing fairly well in the scheme of things. He's one of the least people i am concerned with. The Dline and inside linebackers is where i rage.
|
He'd look a lot better with Patrick Peterson on the other side of the field...

He's just not a #1 corner like Peters

He was traded as part of a package to acquire Alex smith. You do the math.

I didn't watch any Redskins games last year, but is pretty much playing outside corner this whole season and last season he was slot only? Well ****, if that's the case just put him in the slot regardless and put another shitter on the outside, it would probably be an improvement. |

I feel like he’s always been good for us.
He went up against Edelman, who is so deeply connected to Brady Giselle might as well adopt him. Don’t overreact. |
Fuller is still getting acclimated as to what Sutton wants from him in certain defensive scenarios and I assure the Pats like us are a difficult offense to prepare for when all your weapons are healthy.:shrug:

He saw Sutton in the showers after the first game. It changes a man.

Why do people think Fuller is playing outside? Scandrick and Nelson are the outside corners. |
Christ it’s because Bob Sutton sucks BALLS. There is so much evidence to support it or lack of evidence suggesting it’s anything otherwise. He should have been shit canned last year. They re tooled the entire defense and they still suck. What does that tell you?. Bob Sutton sucks dick unless he has primo talent and who wouldn’t suck if you had that? Oh wait I forgot he manages to still **** up and drop them in coverage and all kinds of other dumb shit that loses us games.
|
Maybe the reason all our new guys on defense suck is because the defense takes three years to learn, by our own d-coordinator's admission.
People playing out of position or thinking instead of moving always look like bad defensive players. They're all hesitating and playing on their heels. Here's an idea try to steal Washington's defensive coordinator instead of their players. |

Fuller has played below expectations. So has Hitchens.
The only guys that seems to be playing up to his potential (even though it isn't a high ceiling) is Scandrick and he's a 10-year vet. Sutton HAS to be the problem at this point. |
Nah, it's because Bob Sutton is an idiot.

We should put Tyreek in on defense from time to time...guarantee he will get to the ball...
|
They're all confused and a step behind.
|
Ragland has regressed, hitchens looked better last year.....
I just can't decide if the obvious D.C. Issue is heat is wrong or if the front 3 are shitty and not eating blocks which hurts the LB ability to make plays. |
Hitchens may honestly just be a 4-3 LB that doesn't translate to a 3-4.

Oh and a DL that talks a huge game and then plays hard about 40% of the time. |

If he’s outside, his decline makes sense. If not, oh **** |
If Fuller sucks ass in a different scheme and DC, I will agree.... Until then, I'm game for watching him under different management.
|
Does it feel like he commits more PI penalties down the field or is it just me?
|
Suttons scheme is also stupid for the shit it asks DB's to do. Do you think it's any coincidence how bad all of these guys look here?

And frankly, he's been fine in coverage. Can't tackle worth a shit though. |

He's a slot corner overmatched playing on the outside every down.
But it's that or give the safeties more responsibility and we know that ain't gonna work. |

Roby is a good slot corner, but he's been destroyed playing on the outside this season. |

Per PFF
Snaps as slot corner: 293 Snaps as "wide Corner": 92 I'd have to watch it again but mainly I felt like he just slipped and messed up twice because of that vs the Pats. |

I was just watching some different media clips about the game, and the NFL weekend in general, and I had a thought or a question, and that is, did Washington punk us? Did they already know that he wasn't really that good? Had they already determined that his ceiling was just a good slot corner, so they didn't really feel like they were giving up as much as we thought we were getting? I know Peters is going through a rough stretch right now, but even with his aversion to tackling, he produced for this team, and added more value to this team than Fuller has, even with all the behind the scenes drama he caused. I am hoping that leading up to his promotion, Veach had only been scouting offense at Reid's request or something, because if he really put all his football knowledge into the defensive players he has acquired, then he has no idea how to identify defensive talent.

Hitchens kinda went in the other direction. He looked good early, but now his play has fallen off substantially. I know someone is going to bring up how many tackles he has, but someone on the defense has to get credited with tackles. It's like KU playing four guards, and Dave Armstrong talking up how well Vick rebounds. Someone has to get the rebounds. They have both been big disappointments. But I feel like Sutton is coaching all the good habits and techniques out of Hitchens, but Fuller is just sooooo slooooow it does not matter where he lines up. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk |
I am replaying the game, and on the Edelman TD catch early in the 2nd quarter, Fuller slides over to cover him as he releases from the LOS, and Fuller is basically standing flat footed as Edelman runs by him, and he weakly tries to reach out and grab his arm to hold him. In the highlight you can see Fuller so off balance that he is almost falling face first into the turf as he stares at Edelman catching the TD pass. Edelman ran past him so fast that he kinda spun Fuller around as he blew by.
The LOS is the 17, and Fuller is standing on the 12, so Edelman has a full five yards to accelerate, and it seems that Fuller must think that Edelman is going to sit down in the zone in front of him, and is caught off guard when Edelman blows by him. So, Fuller was basically playing slot corner and got toasted. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk |
Ragland must really be hurt. He played well against the run last year. The only change has been to NT and his "swollen knees." Otherwise his decline doesn't really make much sense.

He’s almost always inside. |

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a leader on defense that demanded accountability, and made sure everyone is in the right position to make plays?
Oh, wait...... |
Hmmm ... maybe it's the combination of Brady, Edelman, Gronk and Hoyer (as well as the crazy drug addict guy) that made us look so ... defenseless. Oh ... and the japanese appliance french chick isn't too bad either, actually.
(Probably not worth mentioning that we had about half the defense on IR or listed as half-dead in the injury report.) This is interesting to me; since the beginning of the season, knowledgeable NFL observers have been saying, "The Patriots often start the season slow and use the first few games as an extended pre-season as they refine their schemes." I suppose I'm wondering why that would apply to the Belicheats, but not to other teams ... like us, for example. FAX THE RATIONAL |

Peters?!?!?!?! Bwahahaha

He sucks. I can only recall him making a couple good plays this year. I'm sure he made more, but nothing memorable. At this point I would do a straight up trade for Alex smiff as our backup.

Kendall Fuller is now the #20 ranked cornerback in the league according to PFF

Fuller struggled a lot early but he's improved a ton over the course of the season. I think for him it was just a matter of getting comfortable.
|
All the young players have improved dramatically over the course of this season.
So refreshing to see KC playing youth instead of broke dick has beens that the fans clamour for. These kids are exciting and bring an attitude to the game that we have never experienced in KC before. |
