Is Tranquil better than Gay? Clay I need answers ��
[Reply]

LOL no Gay was on market he get more then a one year deal
[Reply]

No.

And why would you ask Clay of all people? Lol.
[Reply]

I would recommend that he not wear number 49 here.

I wish the Chargers had fans, so we could see their reaction to this

My phone hasn't blown up so i imagine he hasn't seen this yet.

Seems like a Chenal/Gay hybrid, with a much lower ceiling than Gay but a high floor.

This is an improvement.

That's what I love about Veach. Seemingly every move we make in FA or the draft results in an improvement over the current bar.

Omenihu > Clark
Taylor ≥ OBJ
Tranquil > Harris

The big deal here is that it's pretty obvious at this point that Spags, insane as it is to say, really missed Ben Niemann last year.

Not that Ben Niemann was anything special, but he was a specialist to take the field on obvious passing downs and relieve Gay/whomever the Sam was.

Sure, Tranquil essentially makes the Chiefs bulletproof at LB. But if Tranquil, with those amazing numbers last season, chose this team over five other teams, that means the Chiefs promised him a ton of snaps.

That means you're going to see Bolton/Tranquil in nickel all year. And a lot less of Gay and Chenal as well.

We'll see what happens when the preseason bullets start flying, but... Very fascinating...

Neiman was ass. Goddamnit Direckhun, quit trying to out smart everyone. It makes you say stupid shit.

You guys get hung up on one thing and then lose your ability to process broader information. I swear.

Yeah no kidding. He sucked.

Two things can be true.

1. Niemann was bad at football.

2. Spags likes having a guy who he can bring in as a nickel specialist.

Personally, I don't even know if he's that, even. He's a really good blitzer.

I mean, he sure looks like a guy you bring in to start. So I'm just punching at projections like everybody else is.

You're the one who called him a Ben Neiman replacement, not us. Your comment implies the idea that some sort of void was left when Neiman left. Don't walk it back now.



His name is Willie Gay.

I don't think any statement I've made contradicts or walks back anything I've said prior. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Gay has had some rough games in coverage, though he was more solid last year.
[Reply]

You should check how bad Gay sucks in coverage.

No, not joking.
[Reply]

Another thought - could this be a load management play for Bolton, to help extend his career?

We had Bolton on the field all. the. time. last year and he broke our franchise tackle record.

I wonder if adding a guy like this allows us to rest Bolton on the plays where we don't necessarily need him taking a rep.
[Reply]

Bolton isn’t that great when it comes to coverage. I think you can use Tranquill in situations that would require him to cover and not have a huge downgrade from Bolton when it comes to tackling.
