Patrick Surtain

With so much attention focused on the Chiefs’ shaky situation at right cornerback, who would have believed they would spring a leak on the left side?

Patrick Surtain, the Chiefs’ most expensive offseason acquisition, struggled in coverage during the first half of Saturday night’s 23-17 loss to Seattle.

Surtain, a two-time Pro Bowler during his seven-year career at Miami, was beaten badly by Seattle veteran Darrell Jackson for a 36-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. Jackson, the Seahawks’ leading receiver during three of the past four years, burst past Surtain and caught Matt Hasselbeck’s spiral in stride.

“I couldn’t really find the ball,†Surtain said. “I lost the ball in the lights.â€Â

Earlier in the quarter, Jackson had a step on Surtain inside the Chiefs’ 20 but could not make the catch. On the Seahawks’ next possession, Jackson beat Surtain for 9 yards on a hitch.

Surtain, known for his tight, man-to-man coverage, also gave some cushion to Seattle’s D.J. Hackett, who beat him on a slant for 13 yards in the second quarter, and he later surrendered an 11-yard reception to Jerheme Urban.

Why did we trade him anyway?

the old staff made some bad signings and it left us with little to know room for us to resign him (especially after what guys like Anthony Henry,Ken Lucas, and Gary Baxter got).
 
man i didnt know a thread on this existed so i posted this 5 minutes ago ,oh well anyways i liked patrick yet the chiefs will likely release cb washington and even if he is young lets bring him in i think he will be good later on.:cool:
 
You talk about him picking off Bulger and how Miami never should have let him go, but that just didnt happen. If your trying to bust on Miami though for "loosing" surtain then at least know what your talking about. He caught a horrible pass in the endzone thrown by Quinn, it was an interception that any DB could have had. PLUS do you know his contract.....?? Where could and how Miami afford that one? Think before you talk, Miami has money issues and a DB demanding more was not going to happen. By the way, I got 4 Surtain jerseys and he was one of my favorites! but come on, its a free agent era and hes way to expensive so dont ***** when he picks off a back up QB throwing to a back up WR
