Don't get me wrong. Chung still has a little ways to go before he's even in Polamalu's league. But he covers the field like Polamalu does. That's why the added dimension of Chung this year should give Manning a headache. He's often said that a safety like Polamalu that can cover ground at unbelievable speeds is tough to gameplan and throw against.
BB has had a multi-year draft quest to find such a guy having drafted several complete stiffs in the process. I think some are over reacting to Chung's noticable improvement and certainly he does have a way to got but his atheletic ability and BB's mentoring will develop this talent.

He's also smaller. Chung is fast and seems to cover a lot of ground, and he makes authoritative tackles, but he's not de-cleating guys like Rodney or a Polamalu. I mean, I'll take it, he looks great, but he's not that huge intimidator back there. But just having a guy that focused and intense is going to help a lot.
he can be the true leader of this defense. I dont care about meriweather soft tackes anymore . Chung McCourty duo seems great . Next draft we should take a rusher in 1st round and our D ll have Wilfork, Mayo, Dhung and a rusher, all the needs covered
With regard to the Meriweather comment, I think BB has found two safeties whose skills just totally complement each other. Chung is clearly the enforcer, and can clean up missed tackles. That will hopefully leave Meriweather free to ball hawk and play center field, which is where I thought he excelled last season

I know this isn't the draft forum but talking about taking someone in the 1st round....Cameron Hayward from OSU has looked like a BEAST so far this season and would be a great 3-4 DE....

I see them using Meriweather in a more of a Hibrid role if the starters are gonna play this well. Maybe something to help Butler progress. But yeah Chung looked like he should be wearing 37

Chung's size is almost identical to Milloy (6-0, 213 according to Wikipedia). His hitting highlights in college reminded me of Lawyer, but Chung is faster than Milloy ever was.

I don't want to get too hyped up over one game, and it isn't fair to compare him to Harrison, but I can't help but think of him as this decade's Harrison back there. I hope he continues to develop and grow into a leader and make receivers flinch as they come across the middle.
Re: Chung in a word...WOW!
