*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
IT ****ING HAPPENED
OP UPDATE: Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

Chiefs/Bears 3rd preseason game on NFLN. Gonna be exciting watching Mahomes/Andy and Trubisky/Nagy play an entire half.

Yeah, the safety position is a huge concern. A lot of unknowns, and we're relying on JAGs to make contributions. But even Berry + Sorensen/Watts/Golden is an upgrade from last year, when it was Ron Parker with no gas left in the tank and Daniel Sorensen. LB? Instead of a Ragland who took several weeks to get used to our team and get back into the swing of things from the injury and JAGs, it's now Hitchens, Ragland, and all those JAGs who are perhaps ready to make more contributions. OLB is mostly unchanged, but we're not going to be relying on Zombo if one of the guys gets injured now. Depth at that spot has been dramatically improved. For DL, I view Xavier Williams/Bennie Logan as a wash. Logan wasn't anything special, but we're still entrusting Wililams with a starting job that he hasn't really shown he can take command of-- he was rotational depth his entire time in Arizona, having only started 1 game in his entire pro career. That's a question mark, but at least we're left with some half decent backup plans in Nnadi and Hamilton (more competition the better). Williams might be able to serve effectively as RNR's rotational role, bringing a run-stuffing specialty we haven't had in any of our DL players since Mike DeVito. Everything else is the same. The defense will almost certainly improve from last year. It still might not be good enough, but the talking heads going, "Oh, but they lost Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Ron Parker and Bennie Logan..." clearly don't have a ****ing clue what they're talking about. |

Just a guess but I like Nnadi to take the starting NT job in camp. He’s a grown ass man. He’ll plug the middle and let our LBs flow. Williams might too, but I like Nnadi’s upside more.

Bennie Logan was dogshit for us. Which surprised me. I actually had a little faith in that guy.

I have this defense conversation on a daily basis with a friend of mine.
He tells me all the time that the defense "is as bad as when Vermiel was here" to which I always respond um no it's not, when guys leave now they actually get signed by other teams, none of those guys did. Then that turns into "Eric Berry tore his achilles tendon I don't expect him to be nearly as good, they traded away their best defensive player and Steven Nelson is still playing and he's awful". Then that usually leads into how Justin Houston is an overpaid POS and Dee Ford is just a POS and that makes them the worst defense in the league and Mahomes is going to turn it over making them even worse. Which all leads to him telling me how they are a 6 or 7 win team. But of course he's the same dude that would always defend Alex Smith, I just don't get it. |

They really don't, it was so bad none of those guys went on to play anywhere else in any meaningful capacity, I think Monty Beisel went to play special teams for the Pats and he was one of the only ones that found a job anywhere else.

The only player from the 2003 defense that would even make the 2018 roster is Jerome Woods.

I remember how bad it was. Bad isn't even the word. Below an NFL level defense is more like it. Sucked at all levels.
