Good Football/Chiefs Topic
Kind of chicken or the egg when it comes to secondary coverage vs pass-rush importance. They each perform so much better when the team has both.
I really think that the secondary will be pretty good, but a lot of young players so it will take time for them to develop.
CB (6) – Rashad Fenton, L'Jarius Sneed, Trent McDuffie, Joshua Williams, Lonnie Johnson, and maybe Deandre Baker. There will be a battle for the last two spots. Maybe Jaylen Watson, Dicaprio Bootle, Brandin Dandridge, or Nazeeh Johnson in those last slots.
S (4) - Juan Thornhill, Justin Reid, Bryan Cook, and Deon Bush.
Linebackers will be better.
LB (5) - Nick Bolton, Willie Gay Jr, Leo Chanel, Elijah Lee, and Jermaine Carter Jr
The D line is where I am most concerned.
DT (4 or 5) - Chris Jones, Khalen Saunders, Tershawn Wharton, Derrick Nnadi, and maybe Taylor Stallworth.
DE (4 or 5) - Frank Clark, George Karlaftis, Mike Danna, Joshua Kaindoh, and maybe Malik Herring
Chiefs could use a strong anchoring NT type.
Can Joshua Kaindoh or Malik Herring be a good DE? If not, we are hosed if anybody goes down.
Malik Herring played DE on a really good Georgia football team. In 4 years, he had 36 games, 70 tackles and 4 sacks. He tore his ACL in practice for the Senior Bowl.
Joshua Kaindoh played at Florida State. In 4 years, he had 31 games, 59 tackles, and 8 sacks. He also struggled with injuries his junior and senior year at Florida State and had a high ankle sprain last year with the Chiefs.
I agree that an improved secondary will help the pass-rush, but a young secondary will have to develop quickly.
