That is my point. I could end up to be a key thing, no matter how much season is left. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seemed a little early to talk playoff implications just after squeaking by in the opening game. I usually wait until about game three before doing it. 🙂 Hahaha. I've been seeing numerous articles about next year's draft and who the Chiefs should take. Get on the stick, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punter felt the nerves and dropped that ball thanks to the fans. after a year of no fans, your first game with fans is at arrowhead... where the noise is a physical force.. especially in those situations.. I anticipated the crowd playing a factor in the game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Niemann, I am not sure why all the hate, but I am certainly not sure why he is Reid/Spags favorite as a first line backup. I don't see the future growth in him. He is making mental errors at a rate that should be decreasing but don't seem to be at this point. I know that he is good on ST's., but he is not bad enough at LB to receive the disdain that some express in these posts at this point in my opinion.

Okafor doesn’t add much as a pass rusher Helps keep Clark company on the side lines, can't forget that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have historically disagreed with you about Ward, but I am starting to come around. I think he is a good corner, but just won't take the next step. He has reached his ceiling and may be regressing some. He never gets his head around and always seems to be a split second late defending a pass. Did they give a reason for why Baker was inactive? Healthy scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal with Ward is that he was a fill in when several FAs didn't pan out several years ago. He played okay for being a cheap rookie and many thought he would progress. Last year he took a step backward and seemed to get worse as time went on. This season, he's regressed again although it's still a small sample size. Baker, if healthy, and Hughes at least have upside. Sneed is a stud and Fenton makes some plays and still has upside. Probably Baker is out because the staff doesn't trust that he's 199% after the broken leg. He looked pretty fast in pre-season but again, a small sample size. Not sure how Lammons fits in.

If Gay, Bolton & Hitchens are healthy that means Nieman gets less snaps. Well, hopefully. If not, Gay is terrible.

DieHard 2,061 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I liked what I saw from Bolton. Not perfect but pretty damn good for a rooks first game. I hope Gay rocks out, but I won’t be surprised if Bolton ends up the better player. The corners are fine if we can bring pressure. Can’t just be Jones.

Bolton can react quickly and bust people's chops, and his tackling soundness is terrific, but Gay's tools are out of sight. He could end up like Derrick Johnson according to one opinion I read. I would be extremely surprised if Bolton turned out better, but I like the hell out of Bolton. We could have a really top LB corps in another year or so.
