-Mathieu is excellent in the middle of the field, especially the short and intermediate levels.
-Patriots are our competition to go the SB.
-Tom Brady is 42 this year
-Tom Brady isn’t throwing deep anymore. The middle of the field IS his best territory.
-Fuller+Mathieu=best bets at defending the middle of the field inside the numbers.

Yep. He can also tackle out of the backfield like a mad man.

This is who I wanted pre-FA.

Thrilled with the signing.

Same money they just saved by cutting Houston. I think the defense will be better with the honey badger over an aging Houston.

Not a huge fan of this signing, but you make some good points.

Brady killed us on that last drive with those 10-15 yard middle of the field passes. Maybe the honey badger in the middle makes a difference?

Fair.

But remember this as you watch teams throw over him in man coverage. It happens often enough, thus why I’m curious as to how Spags deploys him. He is not a true FS by the traditional definition.

Rinse/repeat.

The same people who complain about this would have been bitching about them ‘not doing enough’ had they signed someone like Boston or Gipson for half the price. You can’t please them.

Now, I’d be pretty sick too if it were the same deal Collins got. But three years (probably 2 in reality) isn’t bad.

Ive got it on a text.

Said it feels like berry has played his last snap for the chiefs. Not that they couldn't play together but a lot of money and the chiefs were still calling on other safeties(Amos)
