Lamardirts 2,114 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Didn't even notice he was playing which in a game like that and his small sample size of experience I think he did pretty good. Hope we found something special in the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyofoc 361 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ya I don't think they threw at him much. I remember he was covering I think eldemen I believe the last drive. Ward had great coverage Brady just threaded the needle. I definitely think we got one in ward guys he can play. Seems to always be right there and if it's a completion he makes the tackle right away.

DefensiveMan 758 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hope he turns out better than Marcus Cooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True in the beginning cooper was always there but would give up the reception. But I believe ward has got his hands on his fair share of balls in his limited time. He has great length for a cb.

jetlord 10,209 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ward means the Chiefs can get by with drafting one CB in the early rounds vs. two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we found something special in the kid. A corner is like an offensive linemen, if you don't hear his name all game, then he played really well. Not noticing means he wasn't getting torched, like the all pro foot man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna roll with a young guy like Ward (which we should) you're probably better off bringing in a veteran corner so you can put Fuller in the slot.

jetlord 10,209 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Chiefs can go with Ward and a rookie. They went with two rookies when the drafted Flowers and Carr and didn't get burned for it. Agree that a vet would be better if the cost was right since the team is in a "win now" mode.

sith13 1,746 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Pairing Ward with an early round CB (1st?) would save us quite a bit of cap space to spend on Safety. Could be the other way around as well but I'm not sure if we can fix all our DB needs in the draft. I'm expecting one FA signing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they got burned quite a lot early on. Am I the only one that remembers Steve Smith just totally clowning Carr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quite a while ago. Andy Reid, with his Super Bowl ready offense, isn't going to go with Ward and a rookie on the corners. Reid feels the pressure, and it would take quite a convincing speech from a defensive coach to get him to agree to roll out that much youth on the back end, especially when we will likely be throwing a rookie safety into that mix.

I'm with you, but it's going to be difficult. The FA market is rather not good for someone to play the #1 slot, so you'd have to work a trade of some sort.
