Chiefs Secondary

ILChief · 01-05-2014, 07:37 AM

It sucks, but what to do. Lewis is a free agent and Robinson is owed a ton next year, so surely they are both gone.

I believe Demps and Abdullah are both free agents as well.

So under contract we have:

Corners
Flowers ($$$$ and declining)
Smith (started strong but started getting beat deep as the season went on)
Cooper (raw but talented)
Parker (didn't play much but when he did he made plays)

Safeties
Berry (bad game but one of the best)
Commings (injury prone. Corner or safety)

Do we re-sign demps or Abdullah? Are either starters? This draft doesn't look deep at safety, so that may have to be a free agent. Are you ok with the above corners? Who will be available? Will a new scheme fix everything?

I know i am rambling, it's a coping mechanism

I like Demps as a backup and Special Teamer. Maybe abdullah as well.

Keep Flowers, Berry, and Cooper. Everyone else should be gone.

DBOSHO · 01-05-2014, 07:40 AM

Release dunta, kendrick, demps.

ChiefRocka · 01-05-2014, 07:41 AM

Abdullah is decent but we need to draft DBs.

Smith was a stopgap measure, maybe another season.

Demps and Abdullah deserve another shot. As much as everyone likes Flowers, he is declining and is being paid a shit load of money. Coopers best days are ahead of him. Have to hit on several db's in the draft this year.

DBOSHO · 01-05-2014, 07:45 AM

After seeing demps get beat over the top several times this year id like to see him somewhere else. That is literally what yout position is trying to prevent.

Hopefully the sandman can contribute next year. We get the recieving core fixed in FA with maclin and/or someone else and do whatever it takes to get clinton-dix in the draft.

ILChief · 01-05-2014, 07:46 AM

It's crazy that what was considered our biggest strength early on turned out to be our biggest weakness

Demps is a KR only in my mind

If people can call us frauds, then they should look no further than the defense.

SeeingRed · 01-05-2014, 07:50 AM

Keep Demps as a Kickoff returner...Smith and Lewis can walk and I'm cool with that...need to draft good DBs

Could our secondary stop Florida State's WRs? serious question

**dannybcaitlyn** · 01-05-2014, 07:52 AM

First thing I would do is get rid of Sutton and the secondary coaches. Then I would cut Lewis and Robinson. Keep Abdullah and Parker. Hopefully Dorsey and his scouting staff have done their homework on defensive backs in this years draft and build from there.

**lewdog** · 01-05-2014, 07:58 AM

See what we can get for Flowers after this "Pro-Bowl" season that saw him decline pretty rapidly from last year.

**** you Lewis and Robinson.

I'm not really sure his value but flaunt that Pro-bowl tag and see if the reerun teams like the Cowboys take a flyer.
