too bad we already have so many good players at CB

Yeah it really is a shame CB is such a strength for us. Lol

He was very average in their new scheme last year. It's amazing how much a team's scheme plays into the success of some players.

He went from zone to man (with a lot of man press mixed in). Also, he played mostly on the outside. I think he's better off as a slot corner at this point in his career.

thats bit surprising that he would struggle in man. he was know for being physical in college

i want to say i remember the scouting reports on him saying he might struggle in the zone

go figure

Chiefs release Brandon Flowers

" Flowers had been a solid player for the Chiefs until 2013, when he had perhaps his worst season despite making the Pro Bowl. New general manager John Dorsey favors bigger cornerbacks and the 5-foot-9 Flowers struggled in the Chiefs' new defensive system, which often called for Flowers to cover bigger and more physical receivers.
