Sources: The #Seahawks and #Chiefs are deep in talks on a trade to send star Frank Clark to KC. The compensation would include a 1st rounder, a 2020 2nd rounder and a swap of mid-rounders. To complete it, the franchise tagged player and Chiefs must hammer out a deal.
That’s what the media guys have said and that’s what he did well in Dallas.
Well, yes and no.
Hitchens AND Wilson each played all three spots. And different spots in sub packages.
I think, and this is just my theory-based on the hiring of Spagnuolo, who was famous for a '4 aces' package of DE's moving in and out, and Daly, who moved guys all over for NE...and Honey Badger, who plays either S position... What if they intend to just pressure the offense from anywhere and everywhere with a bunch of guys that are just flexible?
I think people getting caught up in 'traditional' roles are going to be confused. I don't think that's the plan. I think they're going to put people anywhere and everywhere and not telegraph anything.
With the rules the way they are, you can't just line up and play man. You can't really hit the QB. Confusion is your only remaining weapon, right?
Take Honey Badger; he's played slot corner. he's played free safety. Strong safety. He does it all with aggression.
I don't think it's an accident that he was the guy we went after.
Daly's lines move all over the place. When I was interested in Flowers as a free agent, I looked at a lot of film, and he lined up everywhere. Spags kind of pioneered that with the Giants that beat NE's unbeaten team.
I think that idea is even more relevant now.
We're going to play zone, and man, and mixed coverages, and any/all manner of stunts and crosses, and you're going to have to deal with it in your pre-snap read and you better guess right or you're going down. [Reply]

Yeah definitely. Tamba seemed to have kind of a flat-footed, bow-legged gait when pursuing tackles in space, whereas Clark looks like a heat-seeking missile. Really impressed with his power and speed off the line, too. [Reply]

Chris, this make a lot of sense dating back to Spags, Giants over NE.
Now It's going to be,Offense, line up and expect the unexpected instead of the norm. [Reply]
I don't like the move. This is a guy who hasn't been healthy since he entered the league. And if the Seahawks weren't willing to pay him, that should make you a little suspicious that the team who knows him best doesn't like him. Obviously if he gives Khalil Mack type performance then the trade will have been worth it, but I'll believe it when I see it. [Reply]

****, he can hardly swing with ONE guy on the phone much less multiple teams lighting his ass up. Yep, all those lights start flashing and down comes the piss from his 'Shazam' Underoos to the floor.
Jesus dude.
Go root for your Steelers. The loving arms of Big rape are waiting for you. [Reply]

uhhhh....you're thinking of some else. It's literally the only explanation for this post.
He's started 62 of a possible 64 games. And statistically stacks up very favorably with Mack.
So...yeah. You're thinking of someone else. [Reply]
