Bolton isn't good in coverage.  Neiman isn't good in coverage.  Guess Spags prefers the one who is more experienced in poor coverage.  🤨

Figure it out. Put gay and his speed in coverage. Inter change them. Bolton, Gay, Sneed, Ward, Thornhill, Fenton, Badger

Of course teams can change the play at the line when they see different players in. So using a guy for a specific role is not a perfect science.

Gay sees to have become a three down LB  Assuming Hitchens is gone next year, Bolton will play Mike and the Chiefs need to find another cover capable LB.  Neiman ain't it.

Bolton improving in coverage but probably just need to find another big nickel besides Sorenson and Gay is your primary Dime/Nickel backer next year.  In nickel Bolton and Gay + your big Nickel back.

If I'm looking for another LB, probably need to find a true Sam for Spags, thumper + part time pass rusher plus some coverage ability.  No need to draft high for that though.  Day 3 pick or low level FA probably fine there.

Sure, but Bolton can learn to play 3 downs. Last week he wasn’t even playing 2 downs

KC defense has been awesome. Hard to second guess Spags. Bolton no doubt will be a force in KC.

Like Damien Wilson? He was really limited, but that seems like what your are gonna get with that minimal investment. What your describing sounds more like the hybrid role Sorenson plays. Are you saying we don't need to invest much to find that player? What about finding an UPGRADE to those types?

Well the Sam plays roughly 20% of the time, when we're in base.  Sorensen plays a much different role in big nickel.  Your Sam is playing some zone but plays down low and is there to mostly help stop the run or rush.  Wilson did not have much juice as a pass rusher.  

Nobody says you can't find an upgrade, but Sam's don't tend to get drafted that high or command that much money in today's market where teams are in nickel or dime 80% of the time.

So you are saying they needa SAM and also need a more capable 3rd safety who can fill that hybrid role?

I mean it would be nice.  Easier to find a big safety than an HB type.
