We gotta get another man beater like BA.
How many teams have corners that can play straight up man like KC? Those dudes literally locked down everyone this season.
As a football fan, it's nice seeing sticky press-man coverage being played a high level. It feels like a dying art with the rules and so many elite athletes in high school and college encouraged to move away from DB.
They have a very good development staff for the DBs, its been going on for a while now. It's definitely more of an exception though. You're not supposed to be able to play man coverage like that in the NFL anymore. They do it very well.
I looked through their schedule this year when they faced teams with great/elite WRs, Kirk had the best game out all the WRs they faced...
They had games where the top WRs would have 5/7 catches 60-90 yards, but nothing spectacular. However, Deebo couldn't do s**t and they aren't quite that amazing now...
