We’ve got to get Eric Murray off the field
Everybody pretty much did their job here in the back end except Murray. This defense looks so much worse because of him. The guy just doesn’t have a good read on coverage. It sucks that we are pressed to play him bc we are forced too due to Sorenson and Berry being hurt. FWIW Armani Watts played 16 defensive snaps in the Steelers game as opposed to 3 in LA. I think he’s coming up to speed. Only a matter of time until Murray is on the bench and we look better. |

I just don’t think we’ve even had enough time to fully evaluate this. We’re 2 games in and we just played two of the top 5 offenses in the NFL on the road in the heat with a big lead and playing a lot of snaps. It’s way to soon to tell the story of the 2018 Chiefs defense. |

For as ****ing horrid as this defense is I don't understand how these guys can't get any snaps. When Reid got here, Ron Parker and Marcus Cooper got starter snaps almost immediately when they were signed out of other teams cuts..but now all of the sudden draft picks have no room to play on a horrible unit? It's annoyingly frustrating. At this point Eric Berry is a bigfoot, I'll believe he exists when he's actually on the field. |

Yea, defensive players are suppose to be able to get on the field relatively quickly, it's not an offensive playbook.
Other than Peters who saw a ton of snaps early on? Jones did after Devito got hurt...and out of the last 3 drafts I can't think of any who really play much. |

Additionally, Berry was supposed to be an improvement to the secondary. That’s the biggest problem right now back there, and then followed by a need for more sacks. I personally don’t think this defense is as far off as it seems. If we can get a pass rusher, a safety, and a corner in the draft, we should also have cap space to sign a veteran DB. This can be fixed fast, given that Bailey comes off the books. I would like to see them restructure Houston, given that he’s $21M to keep and $7.5 M to cut next year. Free up some space to give him legit help on the other side. Additionally, Ford’s entire cap number comes off the books. We have to extend Hill, and that will be a huge payday but worth it. Adding a vet pass rusher or CB on a three year deal can really lighten be load for the draft. |

Not every addition will look good right off the bat (Speaks) but so far there’s been a good start from Veach. Berry is coming back soon. Sorenson is coming back soon. Tremon Smith played some dime snaps on Sunday. Watts played 13 more snaps this week. O’Daniel played a 2nd half 3rd down snap Sunday. Young guys are already starting to play more. This defense is going to get better as the year goes on.

you can insult my intelligence all you want but the defense has been in a downhil progression ever since this regime turned it around in 2013... ahem one offseason. It was this teams strength for at least a good 4 years, payers got older, injuries happen, etc but this defense wasnt always this bad. They brought it respectability in 2013 atter one offseasom they can certainly do it again.

I would extend him two years, converting his salary this year to a signing bonus that can be amortized, while dramatically lowering his base salary and cap number for the next four seasons, allowing us to get out from under it later.

I really liked his play last week. If he keeps that up, he's been a brilliant find by Veach.
