  1. Nick Bolton absolutely has his flaws, but calling one of his strongest attributes a weakness is crazy behavior

  2. Man, Bolton’s tackling in his rookie season was the reason I fell in love with him. Dude is a technician.

  3. Is it making the tackle or getting in position to make the tackle that counts? He makes the tackle better than most, but I wouldn’t say he puts himself in a position to make the tackle exceptionally well.

  4. > He’s not big enough … to get away with what the Chiefs are getting away with

    So he’s out playing his size? What a horrible problem to have.

  5. this guy is a dipshit the knock on bolton is his pass coverage. He might be the best run stopper in the nfl

  6. That’s crazy lmao. Tackling is like THE thing he does well and you could argue he’s the best tackler on the team

    Like if I had to place one guy in the backfield and trust him to wrap up and stop a guy in his tracks no matter who it was I would choose Bolton

    Coverage has always been the knock on him because he doesn’t have the speed to get all the way to the sideline, especially if he jumps at something and needs to recover

  7. lol, tackling is literally what Bolton’s contribution to the Chiefs being a great run defense is. 

  8. There’s a reason why Steve Spagnuola sings his praises. I imagine Spags knows a lot more about defensive players than the rest of us.

  9. Bolton can tackle. He can’t cover wr for shit, but he can tackle. Can we not have Bolton covering wr anymore please?

  10. Bolton is good at tackling when he’s going downhill, like the old school between the tackles linebackers. His strength does not lie in making plays in the open field, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad tackler overall.

  11. I’ve been happy with Bolton after having DJ as the D commander for so long. Bolton might not be the most athletic, but his vision is insane at times.

  12. bro just thought something up and went with it lmao. tackling is absolutely nick’s best ability.

  13. Solak has historically had some shit Chiefs takes, he definitely views them through a distorted lens. Every time he’s on with Mina, its always “here’s why the Chiefs will/can lose”

  14. I love Mina so I’ll watch nearly everything she puts on her Youtube but I usually give every video of hers with Ben a skip, but I started this yesterday and promptly had to turn it off when he got to this part.

  15. I’ve never watched a chiefs game but I’m pretty sure Bolton can’t tackle
    – dipshit

  16. Is what he saying that he doesn’t have any business being as good as he is based on what they see? Wondering what the context is saying here

  17. Saying Nick Bolton is bad at tackling in any sense is like saying Billy Joel cant make music. Like everyone is entitled to their opinion but there are opinions that are a frogs hair shy of objectively wrong.

  18. What the actual fuck. How do you watch Nick Bolton play and say he’s not a good tacker? Literally every game I tell my wife how good of a tackler he is (not like she cares), and then I mention (this year) how Cook must have learned something from him finally because he’s finally starting to stop missing tackles.

  19. Is the new norm for our sub to just complain about what people are saying about the team? I’ve visited tons of team subs and none are as bad as ours.

  20. Solak’s a troll. Thought we all knew that. Says ridiculous things all the time for reactions.

  21. Who? I’ve learned to really only trust film guys who know the game well or former nfl players for opinions
