Chiefs Chiefs defense this year. What do you expect? - Page 3

**petegz28** · 07-19-2012, 10:37 PM

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.

Chiefs defense was better last year when Berry was out than in 2010 when he was playing- He did lead the league in touchdowns given up by safeties- Need to see if he will improve in that category

As good as the D played at times, they were often out-coached several times giving up TDs on opening drives.

Somewhere between 5 and 10 in points and yards.

It should be very good.

Matt Cassel is the key to all of this.

If we can cut down on the 3 and outs, should help the D immensely. We should have more push with our line on passing downs, better help from safeties, and a full year of Houston creating a double threat.

Faider D will be a bottom 5 unit. Enjoy!!!

I actually expect them to struggle a little until Cassel gets sat the **** down or starts to live up to that fat wallet of his.

I was arguing with a friend that's an Eagles fan about our defense. I basically said ours had more talent and was better overall. I was a bit surprised to find we had allowed something like 21.1 ppg last season (the Eagles allowed 20.5, IIRC). I'm on my phone now so would anyone be willing to calculate our defenses ppg allowed for the final 8 games?

I think Routt will be just fine down the stretch as a #2. We could end up around 10. The backs have to tackle.

I expect top 5.

Routt is the only piece that worries me...

I think the development of Jerrel Powe, as well as any contribution from Dontari Poe, is going to be vital to the continued development of this defense.

No one is talking about JP, but I've siad this before, he looked like the best NT on the field in the preseason last year, and I can not understand this team's hesitation to put late round rookie linemen on the field during the regular season, but it appears that is how they feel is the best way to develop those guys.

I am really looking forward to the preseason to see how Powe has progressed.
