CB’s were bad last year, especially Scandsuck.

Part of it is that they're being really cautious. No way Tyreek even comes out of the game from the hit earlier this week.

The CB's were trash last year. Luckily Ward started to improve as the year went on, but Tremon, Scandrick, Nelson, and even Fuller, were all trash.

Looks exactly like what we saw on tape. Here’s Mecole getting separation from Tony Brown, who ran a 4.35 40.
Mecole is a legit 4.29 speed at his peak

Doesn’t sound serious if he’s riding shotgun in the golf cart...

Mecole Hardman is being taken up to the locker room in the front of the cart. He’s likely done for the day. We’ll have more info soon. Looks like it could be a shoulder. #Chiefs

Said he left practice because he was feeling ill

31st ranked defenses must sit well with you... Bob Sutton and the back half of the defense were the primary reason last year. I honestly can't sit here and say the linebackers and DL were any good as well since they couldn't stop the run, but at least they applied pressure.

CB is a really easy position to flip out about because when those guys get beat it's easy to see, where like when Chris Jones rushes the passer and loses his contain on a run, no one notices him persay they just go with "oh jesus look at that hole".

Does that mean we're gonna see less Ragland? He's gonna be the one to go to the bench in nickel? :-)
[Reply]

Ragland will probably only ever play in the "base" since Spags typically goes with bigger LB's for run defense in that.

Probably looking at a Hitchens-Ragland-Wilson base, I expect that set to play maybe 15% of the time.

I think Darron Lee will get playing time but right now DOD kind of looks like the odd man out as Damien Wilson is seeing a lot of nickel snaps, Hitchens is getting them all and Ragland has even seen some.

Dave Toub says the #Chiefs are trying to prepare Mecole Hardman to get more return work and take some of it off of Tyreek Hill. Called the rookie a “work-in-progress.” Still doesn’t want to eliminate the role for Hill, likes the threat. Also mentions Byron Pringle for reps there.

Toub also mentioned John Lovett, Mecole Hardman and Rashad Fenton as young players who have stood out on special teams

Maybe Toub sold them on Fenton
[Reply]

Personally I'd like to see Hardman on kick off returns as well.
[Reply]

Lovett gonna make it?
[Reply]

Supposedly he's working as a bit of an H-back doing some TE and FB stuff.
