They scapegoated Greg Robinson after the 2003 season and the garbage players on that defense were even worse under Gunther. That stupid experiment ended in Vermeil retiring and the Chiefs going back to freaking Martyball only worse. No thanks. If we're all in with Mahomes, it's time to go all in. Stop screwing with stuff that doesn't matter and get some people that can actually play football. |

How many times did we do 3 man rushes? Half the time? How many times did we rush more than 4, ie how many times was an ACTUAL honest to goodness blitz called? We avoid the blitz for no apparent reason. Houston, Ford, and Jones are all okay or pretty good rushers. I don’t know why we get scared when teams spread us out. |

But then you guys are going to have to find a new scapegoat because nothing's going to change until they fix their personnel problems. |

Trade draft picks (plural) to pick up a secondary player or two. Even if we don’t get the best value. We can win it all this year with just a little more talent in the defensive backfield...

There are a ton of DCs out there that are running similar zone concepts with an aggressive blitzing concept. Meanwhile your soft zone guys like Sutton and McDermott are struggling mightily. It just can't work in today's game where DBs get flagged for everything. Sutton's creative from a zone perspective, but his blitz packages completely lack imagination and his defenses aren't going to hit you in the mouth. We don't have the talent to be great at defense, but I think we could be much better. But if I'm being fair... so far we've been really really bad on defense when protecting a lead. We haven't been terrible otherwise. So there's still some chance that Sutton's D isn't as bad as it seems. |

How can you have the a great offense and not expect to be facing a ton of passing as teams try to keep up? Posted via Mobile Device |
I'm not really sure how you fix it. When you are getting almost no production out of Berry and Houston, how do you overcome that? We're severely lacking talent in the secondary, and we haven't drafted anyone worth a damn other than Peters who isn't even here anymore. The only real difference maker on the DL is Jones, but his motor runs hot and cold. Our linebackers are alright against the run but our pass rush is horrible and the ILB get picked apart against the pass. We drafted all defense, but I don't see a single difference maker in the draft. Our 2018 draft might end up with a backup or two, but overall it was one of the worst drafts we've had. I'm not able to answer how we fix this, because we've invested a lot of resources in a defense that will likely finish bottom 5 in the NFL.

I hope Charvarious Ward is more than a Kenneth Acker douche we acquire all the time. Would be cool to see either him or Tremon Smith take over as soon as some time this season

Based on early returns, Chiefs are a competent DC from the Superbowl.
