AFC Championship: We are on to Kansas City!

[Hammer of Thor]

I guess according to PFF Hightower and Van Noy's interceptions don't count as passes defensed.... Pro-football reference also has Van Noy with an additional pass breakup against the Jets and one against the Chargers. PFF doesn't seem to agree with them though.

Covering LBs should be a #2 priority on defense, just after DL

 

[VectorPrime]

All I can picture is our offense going on an 11 play 80 yard drive carefully dinking and dunking, converting 2 third and mediums, and then finally punching it into the end zone.

And then the Chiefs offense comes out and in 2 plays ties it up because Hill causes one guy to stumble and runs for a 65 yard score.

Jeff Howe's chart would maybe disagree with that

Double Tyreke. BB should be fired if Hill burns us. Jam the **** out of Kelce. Cheifs have ****ty pass defense. Tom should spread them out. Don't want to see two straight I formation runs.

Do you see shades of Peyton manning in mahomes?

 

[TommyD4207]

Eric Berry will likely play Sunday. He practiced today.



Eric Berry practicing on Wednesday

Hunter Henry played last week.

Um, no?

He's Brett Favre without the opioid addiction.

Mahomes to hill like manning to marvin Harrison or reggie Wayne

One of the most disciplined QBs ever, and two of the most disciplined route-runners ever = Streetball to Streetball.

Got it.

Looking at the film of mahomes, he doesn’t run scared or paranoid in the pocket. He asserts his dominance over the other team’s secondary. I think he’s more deadly when he rolls out of the pocket. He killed us on those throws last time.

What does that have to do with being like Manning to Harrison? They're completely different.

It was just a side note

It makes zero sense.

Here is their definition

Forced incompletion percentage, which takes all forced incompletions (pass breakups, interceptions, tight coverage) and divides them by total targets, is also tracked outside of Premium Stats 2.0 and sometimes referred to in our articles or social graphics. Shortened to FINC% at times, this statistic gives us a great idea of which defenders make plays on the ball at the highest and lowest rates.

Van Noy,1 INT 2 PDs
High, 1 INT, 1PD

By definition in the wacky world of PFF those are forced incompletions so they are wrong. Thats not to say they are great in coverage.

JC is better. JJ is faster. Gilly is the best

I could be wrong but I don't think JJ is faster. Every time there's a huge run it's always the McCourty's with the top end speed to chase people down.

JJ is far and by far the fastest player we have in a STRAIGHT LINE.

As for the McCourtys...at least with Devin..he isn't turning his hips around when chasing down guys. It's all about the angles, IMO...much easier to chase down a WR across 1/2 the width of the field when you are 10-15 yards deep off the LOS. And as for Jason, he is usually TRAILING the guy before chasing down the guy...which suggests that he has good acceleration.

JJ has the most top end speed. 4.28/40 at the combine is no joke.... the McCourtys had 4.41 and 4.3 for Devin/Jason respectively.
