Chiefs defense this year. What do you expect?

[petegz28]

The first year and a half of Romeo seemed we sat back in a lot of coverage. I am not saying we didn't blitz but it appeared anyway we didn't do it a whole lot relying on Hali to be the man. Last year the NE game we started blitzing like crazy, at least compared to what is seemed we did before. Particularly DJ seemed to start coming up the middle a lot more.

You are truly fuckin dumb- I feel sorry for your parents to have bore such a imbecile

Do you have trouble holding down a job?

In a zone blocking scheme, the center and guard don't have similar roles. Their roles (other than presnap calls and snapping the ball) are IDENTICAL. Same steps, same techniques, same friggin job. Now, snapping the ball effectively is no small feat. But if he can get it down, and I assume he's worked on it since day one + college, then he'll be just fine. But otherwise, the move isn't a change at all.

It's going to be vastly improved. We'll likely struggle at the nose, but it can't be much worse than it's been in the past. Eric Berry obviously makes us vastly better. The wild card people are forgetting is that Houston will be the starter from day 1, which made an enormous difference for us once he started getting into a groove.

Another thing I worry about is that the Chiefs chose not to hire a defensive coordinator, which I think is just mind boggling. Romeo's not going to have the time he used to developing game plans and being as sharp a play caller as when that was his full time gig.

I kinda wonder if being DC and head coach both will be too much. I thought initially Romeo would add another defensive assistant to the staff.

LOLWUT

with all the experience we have in our defensive coaching staff, that's the last thing I'm worried about.

Why in the **** would Romeo Crennel need to hire a dc that wouldn't see completely eye to eye with him? Especially with all the talented defensive coaches we have on staff.

He hired Daboll to hand the offense to and Romeo will oversee the defense.

We could have easily promoted almost any position coach from the defense to be the "DC"...but what's the point?

Let the coaches have a competition for the spot and name one next season if we need to.

EASILY the best unit in the division. Best backs and recieving group as well.

Yeah, the defense really suffered last year when Romeo took over as Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator.

It's interesting to me that last season, despite the high opinion of our defense around here, and the fact we faced a lot of UFL-level QBs, we actually allowed more yards per play (arguably considered to be the best "tell-all" defensive statistic) than we did in 2010.

Makes you wonder.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

The 1st-2nd half splits are decidingly different. The team started off horribly on D the 1st few weeks of the season. Nice approach coach.

Bend, don't break

[BossChief]

I think the team will play a lot more loose.

Who knows?...maybe that will help Cassel.

The only thing that'll help Cassel is a brain transplant.

Uhoh. Now you're asking for it. Chronic is now furiously working up a long-winded and unfunny way of calling you stupid.

Shouldn't have used facts when you responded to him.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Won't see him for a while. It's salad tossing time in the joint and they just got a shipment of grape jelly in.

And I think that is a big problem from a coach who professed to being burnt out in Cleveland and who struggles to manage a game even when he doesn't have coordinator responsibility. Given his track record in Cleveland, I would have liked to have seen him bring in a coordinator. Maybe he is delegating a lot of responsibility already to Thomas or Gibbs or anyone else on the staff. If so, and Romeo's calling the plays and setting final game plans, that's fine. But there is definitely a risk of him taking on way more than he can handle. Especially at his age.
