Chiefs give up on 3rd-round rookie CB Russell

[Gandalf]

Kind of early to give up on a third round pick. Maybe he is worth a look see.

Must lack desire or something because he has third round talent physically

Didn't he break a foot at the end of the season? Kid is talented and one of the rare players cut by other teams if like to sign barring any effort/personality issues reported in KC.

If the foot isn't healed then it would be tough to justify signing him.

Hmmm..... sign new guy with one working foot..... or keep playing Coty Sensabaugh.....

 

[Merlin]

I think that if Gaines is not ready to go the guy who should be starting in his place is Hill. He played well in preseason, actually knows to play the ball, and deserves a shot.

Can't be worse than Sensabaugh.

 

[Ballhawk]

Can't be worse than Sensabaugh.

Or Joyner, who stinks!

 

[Ramrasta]

What's the difference in starting Sensabaugh and playing with 10 men?

... $6 million....

Claimed by the Bengals

I'll second this emotion!!

Where is all this Joyner hate coming from lately? Has his screen time on Hardknocks really made fans hate him this much bc his play on the field certainly hasn't earned him the hate.

I think since 2015, slot receivers average a 80% completion rate against us....

Have you seen the scheme we play and how opposing teams attack us because of our pass rush/defensive philosophy?

Actually other than completion percentage the passing numbers they put up against us weren't bad. 22 of 35 is a nice 62.9% but only 170 yards is a minuscule 4.9 ypa. Granted they were running the ball very well but I'll take holding a team to that low of a ypa.

That is what I was getting at. The scheme we play usually allows for a very high completion % and most of those come on quick throws. Rams are able to limit the yards after catch due to playing off and keeping the wr in front of them and rallying to the ball to make the tackle.

This Russell guy is gonna be a player...sooner than later...
