The K.C. Chiefs And The New League Year
By Laddie Morse
Quote Of The “Free Agency” Week
In his article called, “P.F.F. Not A Fan Of Tyson Jackson, Aqib Talib Signings” Ben Nielsen stated the following when talking about Tyson Jackson and Pro Football Focus,
"“It is virtually impossible for the Chiefs to get less pass rush production from Jackson’s spot on the defensive line. If PFF’s 38 pressures statistic is to be believed – which there is no reason to doubt it – then Jackson provided on average 0.5 quarterback pressures per game over his career in Kansas City (74 games). Are you going to suggest to me the Chiefs can’t find a guy off the street who cannot at least average 0.5 pressures per game and not cost $5 million per season?”"
Ben Nielsen… “you’re my hero” (BTW… that was a “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” reference for those of you who are keeping score at home).
Plus, if you haven’t heard yet, DE Vance Walker has signed with the Chiefs. And… my runner up quote of the Free Agency week comes from the same article by Master Ben,
“It should be noted Chiefs free agent target Vance Walker totaled 41 pressures – or three more than Jackson has in his entire career – for the Raiders in 2013.”
All I can really say is… me likey.
