The injury last year was such a freak incident, you can only hope that's not going to be a norm.

I've never seen something like that happen, the way Parker just happened to whip around and hit him in the perfect spot on the knee.

I imagine everyone should know him by now.


Get him away from the sideline and force him to cover a quick guy who can break either way. Without being able to pin the WR to the sideline, Smith isn't as good.

Sean Smith probably loves playing against our screen offense.

He is not worth 10 mil. per and the Chiefs couldn't afford the front-loaded contract Oakland gave him anyway.

We are not a better team without him, but we will not miss him that much. Time for Dorsey to find the next veteran bounce-back candidate for cheap, and add some CB talent in the draft.


We will be fine without Sean Smith.

Only IF KC finds a suitable replacement. They were not fine without him last season.

Fluke or not, he's been here for 5 years now and hasn't played a healthy playoff game yet.

Houston's among the highest paid players in the game and if he's not around when we need him most, the contract isn't helping much.

Yep. I know. And it looked like it could have been much worse when it happened. However, regardless of that, Houston was still a no-show when needed most in '13 & '15. :shrug:

It's true....

Hopefully the cards fall our way this year.

Now without a 3rd rounder in this draft, losing a solid starter like Smith is something no one wants. That being said, he wasn't without his flaws and could definitely be upgraded.

Pretty good take IMO.

I think at CB everything depends on where they want Gaines to play.

If they want him in the nickel, you draft a #2 in the first round.

If they want him outside at the #2, I think you sign Hayward for the nickel or draft another corner in the 2nd. Maybe they like Nelson a lot too.

The Chiefs secondary has been one of its best units since the hiring of Reid and Dorsey. They've been able to coach up scrap heap players like Sean Smith, Ron Parker, Hussein Abdullah, Kurt Coleman and Tyvon Branch.

Eric Berry had his best season in 2015, Marcus Peters improved during the course of the season and Gaines looked to be on the verge of breaking out before the ACL injury. Nelson improved during the season as well, not to mention Cooper's 2013 rookie campaign.

I think the secondary coaching has been phenomenal and if they were given more talent, would be once again, among the best in the league.

100%

One of the biggest issues I have with this regime is not fixing the depth at CB. Dunta Robinson, Chris Owens, Jamel Fleming and Marcus Cooper have cost us games.

I really want to see us add 2 more CB's. A vet and draft pick would be nice.

I ****ing hate Dunta Robinson

We've drafted 3 in the last two drafts, and will do so again this year. It takes time to build depth.

I think you're right. Just SUCKS losing that #3 if it stands.
