Chiefs safety not popular with a fan
For five weeks into the regular season, the safety of the Kansas City Chiefs Daniel Sorensen has been one of the worst players at that position in the entire NFL. It has been rated 35.0 by PFF, which puts him in 83rd place of the 85 players qualified at the safety position. His play is part of the reason the Chiefs defense is near the bottom of the league in most of the major statistical categories, such as yards allowed per game (31), points allowed per game (32.6), and forced losses (26), according to ESPN.
Criticism of Sorensen from some in Chiefs Kingdom began to appear in the first month of the regular season. However, they peaked in Week 5 when NBC’s Sunday Night Football analyst Cris Collinsworth praised Sorensen during the game against the Buffalo Bills, which led to Collinsworth was harshly criticized on Twitter, citing the many statistics that led Sorensen to earn the low PFF score.
However, resentment toward Sorensen reached an all-time high prior to Kansas City’s game against the Washington Football Team in Week 6.
The GoFundMe campaign aims to raise $ 2.46 million
On Monday, October 11, a ‘GoFundMe’ campaign It was created by someone named Chandler Wallander, presumably a Chiefs fan, based on the fact that he took the time to start that season. He created the page in order to raise money to buy Sorensen from the Chiefs, which would lead to his departure from the team.
The goal was to raise $ 2.46 million, the full amount of the one-year contract he signed with Kansas City this offseason, according to Spotrac.
However, the page no longer accepts donations and indicates that the $ 85 raised was donated to the foundation 15 and The Mahomies. Either way, the attempt to raise the money underscores the strong negative feelings that at least one Chiefs fan has toward the veteran safety based on his production this season.
Sorensen talks about defensive failures
Sorensen spoke to the media on Wednesday, October 6, and was asked about communication failures that occurred on the defense throughout the first month of the regular season.
“Look, this is what we came to do. We’re going to go out today and tomorrow and Friday and work and persevere, ”Sorensen said. “Every week you hope to improve and that is what we talk about, looking for an improvement. So we will identify areas in which we need to improve, and honestly there are many, and we will insist as we always do and we will continue to improve week after week ”.
When asked if the Chiefs “can still lean on some of the things that helped them overcome” during the 2019 season, Sorensen was optimistic.
“Yes, absolutely,” Sorensen replied. “You know, we have a lot of the same central men so again, it’s about adapting and making adjustments and working on things to improve and… if there is a team or a group of coaches or players that has done that, we are U.S”.
With Kansas City going 2-3 on the season and last in the AFC West, it’s time they made some big changes to the defense. Either changing the way they facilitate their scheme under defense coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the players they are using and the capacity in which they are used, or bringing in a free player and / or making a change for a playmaker. defensive, they need to make an adjustment of some kind.
