Chiefs Chiefs Sign FA CB Mo Claiborne - Page 9

Per Terez

The Chiefs have agreed to terms with free agent CB Mo Claiborne, a source tells me. He’s flying out to K.C. tonight.

Excellent signing and great price. +1 for Veach!

Last seasons secondary was...

Nelson, Parker, Sorensen, Fuller, Scandrick, Lucas, Ward, Smith, Murray, Berry, (out for most of the season), Watts (only played a few games)

This season's secondary group right now is...

Breeland, HoneyBadger, Thornhill, Ward, Mo, Fuller, Lucas, Watts, Sorensen, Feilds, Wade, Hunter etc etc

The new group is much younger with more speed and better tackling ability imo. Way more confident in this group than the last that's for sure.

He sucked with the Cowboys and played on some pretty bad defenses there

My expectations are low. Extremely low.

I think that every time I happen to stumble upon one of your threads or posts, and yet you still manage to let me down damn near every time.

Having the likes of Breeland and Mo out there at least gives us two guys who have seen it all already. I have high hopes for Ward but remember when we had him and Smith debuting against the Seahawks? We can't afford to have that happen again. With better safety play (hopefully) and experienced corners we should be in a much better position this season to defend the pass better. The Pats always seem to find a way to take what is deemed "average players" and fit them into their system so why can't we? Let's go Mo!!.

Ward played a damn good game in his debut. Anything caught on him was due to R. Wilson putting on a clinic.

Wards gonna continue to improve, #1 by the end of the year, imo.

Not what I was hoping for, that’s for sure

At the same time, it’s nothing to be pissed off about either... our cupboard wasn’t completely bare back there to begin with

I'm sure there's another guy or two in there that I'm missing but that's a ton of guys with solid floors and decent ceilings to boot. In real time it seemed underwhelming but when you look at the body of work and the number of contributors that have been added to that side of the ball, expecting a real step forward suddenly becomes pretty reasonable.

He was such a bust for the Cowgirls. I didn’t follow him after he left Dallas. I hope we can get something out of him.

I agree with your original post. This is Scandrick part II. He never has embraced the intellectual side of playing CB in the NFL. No instincts at the professional level whatsoever. Dallas finally gave up on him and so did the Jets. If he was all that Jets would have kept him. Rumor has it that he is "dumb as a box of rocks" and chooses to stay that way wanting to play corner like he is still in college. Maybe "honey badger" can crawl up his ass a bit and force the issue of becoming more disciplined and playing smarter is all I can hope for at this point.

I don't like this signing because it shows how desperate we are at the CB position. OCs will definitely know how to attack him for sure.
