Chiefs Only positive today: Nick Bolton - Page 4

Get Anthony Hitchens out of here. Nick Bolton was fucking awesome as the MIKE today.

Dude had 15 tackles and 4, yes FOUR tackles for loss. He now has 9 for the year which is more than any non-pass rushing LB in the league.

Myles Garrett lead the league in TFL with 9 previously.

This game sucked but I think we’ve got a very good MIKE backer moving forward. He’s miles better than Hitchens and it’s not even close

I expected more from Gay but he's been invisible since he came back. Hopefully he can step up.

The other LBs on this team shouldn't be playing snaps in the NFL.

CPers need to come to the realization that Gay is a JAG. The savior worship was laughable.

Going from complete shit to JAG is a huge step upward

More like Nick Boltin!

I swear to fucking God if Spags moves Bolton around to accommodate Hitchens he needs fired effective immediately. Already over his bullshit with the DL completely regressing and Sorenson over Thornhill.

And why is Hughes playing instead of Fenton?

Honest to God, it is time to bench both Neimann and Hitchens and play Gay and Bolton.

Gay and Bolton will take some lumps but the experience they will gain will be invaluable...play the hell out of them.

Bolton had 15 tackles, with at least two of them being solo stuffs on Henry

Meanwhile, Clark and Jones combined for 3 pathetic tackles... been over Clark for a long time, and now Jones has been added to the "get fucked" list

Great goddamn question. Why is anyone outside of Sneed playing instead of Fenton?

Think Hughes is playing less though. Fenton's playing time was 4x what Hughes' was.

Why did Josh Gordon only get 8 goddamn plays though? Lame.

Don't they have to play 100% of the snaps if you bench Hitchens and Niemann?

Who's next on the depth chart at LB? O'Daniel? Maslowski?

Yeah, how awesome would it be to have an inside LB who can hit downhill like Bolton AND cover receivers like AJ Brown? Why can't Veach just draft a guy like that?!? How difficult could it possibly be?
[Reply]

Dude what? The Browns, Titans and Ravens are 3 of the 4 top competition to us for the conference and they absolutely rely on the run heavily.

This has value, especially at MIKE. You need DB’s to cover AJ Brown not any LB

Thought Nick Bolton had himself a solid game vs the run... Good job flying downhill all day. Really a solid job on Henry today despite the scoreboard pic.twitter.com/Q4GffiJVaP

Might be the most stupid post of the season.

In Veach We Trust

I love the way this kid plays. This game was a huge test for him without Hitchens and he played great. Dude's got great instincts and just doesn't miss tackles.
