We have 2 great players on our entire roster. Budda & Murray. And yet people on this board are outraged with Murray that we got our butts beat the last month of the season???

The man was one of a handful of bright spots on Sunday.

It's such a bad sign when your safety leads the team in tackles though.

Particularly when it seems if he didn’t make a tackle the chiefs were scoring.

It is why he should be playing more of a dollar backer like Buchanon did and have Simmons player deeper.

I don't think he's built for that, but he was playing low a lot in Week 1. Buc sucked because he couldn't cover anyone.

I just think that Joseph didn't trust his pass rush because he was handed a group of bums and so he decided he'd use his best blitzer as often as possible. He looks so smooth on the blitz but he never got home (obviously).

Part of it is that KC is just really good. I think we'll find out more this weekend. I'm taking the Cards -5.5 and I think there's a good chance they win outright.

Simmons & his clunky legs playing deep sounds like such a bad idea.

You mean Cards +5.5?

Budda's first couple years in the league he was an in the box safety and thats when he was at his best.

Weird phrasing.

That’s when he was making the most plays, but I actually think last year was his best year. There’s a reason why the defense was good despite having pretty bad corners.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Weird phrasing.

Why? I think it means he clearly has issues with change of direction.

Ding ding ding!

Yeah that Kelce reception where he easily lost Simmons was ridiculous. A guy with Simmons speed should be able to easily stay with 4.7 Kelce.

It's still a weird phrase...

Dude you make him sound like Bambi when he was newly born. Cmon…

Meanwhile, Derwin James was tombstoning, DDTing, diamondcutting, pedigreeing, stone cold stunning, perfect plexing… pick your WWE/WCW finishing move on Kelce.

Arizona Cardinals​

Pro Bowlers: Budda Baker, S (5)

In a dismal season, Baker was one of the lone bright spots for the Cardinals. He continued to grow as a safety and a leader on a defense that needed both desperately. He leads the Cardinals in tackles and has 2 interceptions, 6 pass defenses, 2 quarterback hits, 1 forced fumble and 1 tackle for loss. It's his fourth straight Pro Bowl nod.

Did you know? Baker is the only safety in the NFL to be named to the Pro Bowl in each of the past four seasons. -- Josh Weinfuss
