It's a valid point that the LBs have been so garbage these first two games that its not really possible to play much worse than they have.

It absolutely IS possible to play worse than they have. Yes, it is.

I’m 1 million % sure they are doing everything possible to get Willie on the field ASAP. They know how catastrophic our LB core has been.

I'm sure they are too. And he's just not getting that many snaps right now.

What does that tell you? He's not quite ready yet.

Can't wait until he starts.

Spags explains our boys lack of playing time...

Yep, yourself and others already spelled out whats going on days ago... he's gotta show better scheme awareness, its just that simple

I'm not worried in the least, this is an All-Star coaching staff and they'll have him up to speed soon enough... they will serve no wine before its time

When you consider that we’re getting so much from Dana, Wharton and Sneed, Gay is just icing on the cake of a good defensive draft.

Yep. On offense Clyde is good and next year hopefully Niang comes in and kicks ass. Then the draft will look damn near perfect.

He had quite a few snaps last night. Didn't get home on some blitzes and was completely washed out of a couple of plays. Hopefully he starts to make an impact as the season goes along.

I'm glad he's in there learning. Hopefully by the end of the season he will be playing like a veteran.

25 snaps. Exactly 1/3 of the total defensive snaps. Love that he’s getting out there more often.

I think he’ll get 50+ by the end of the month

Watched him a lot during his snaps..he had one good tackle but mainly helped to block up running lanes. His speed was also on full display as he's rapid getting from sideline to sideline. Dropped into coverage a few times too. Hitch and co were talking to him a lot..i think he'll be just fine moving forward and we'll have a special lb if he keeps learning and works hard.

He flashed a few times. It's fun watching him take on blockers. You can see the explosion and power.

Get him up to speed and he's going to be a real weapon on the second level for KC.

I mean, linebacker is a mentally tough position to play. It's going to take a bit for any rookie LB to play. I think we're going to like the finished product.
