Ekeler ran for 110 on 23 carries for a little context. I just wish this staff would trust the young guys more and let them take their lumps. Hitchens had no business being on the field last year, and it’s pretty telling that he’s a free agent at 30 right now [Reply]

He's the best LB'er we've had since Joe Montanna!!
But in all seriousness...
Dudes, we're lucky to have that hammer out of Mizzou. Best ILB we've had in red and gold since the great Derrick Johnson. Gay may be a close second but Nick doesn't have the off the field issues. That by itself is looming large. [Reply]
Loved he was the guy who got the scoop and score. As a guy who specializes in doing the dirty work for the D, those players don't always get chances to shine - but damn, he's now found himself in three plays like that in his short career.
1. The game-swinging scoop and score @ Denver last year
2. The interception off of a ricochet to seal the game @ LAC this year
3. And of course, the scoop and score in THE SUPER BOWL this year.
It just always seems like Bolton is in the right place, which is a 180 from the 2020-2021 Anthony Hitchens experience.
What a monster we got. The last two drafts have been out of the park for Veach. [Reply]
was easily the best player on defense during the Superbowl and had a great season. And it's not just the what should have been 2 fumble returns. He was a beast all game. He's the guy the Chiefs need to give a contract to. [Reply]
