Well, last year it was turnovers and run defense was complete ass. Teams marched down the field bc our shitty ILB play was god awful, but couldn’t score in the red zone bc our secondary was good.
This year we don’t have much of a pass rush. That equals bend but don’t break.
We weren’t “bend don’t break” much of 2013 bc he had great talent until Houston and Tamba suffered injuries right before the playoffs leading to Colts comeback (Flowers also knocked out of the game).
Watch the Patriots and Eagles game. That wasn’t “bend don’t break” like the rest of the season.
Speaking of, I’ve seen Sutton use a shit ton of different schemes to try to fix this defense. Cover 2, single high, nickel, dime, 3 man zone, blitzing, bear front, rushing the DE’s from the outside.
I don’t want to hear this lame bullshit about a new DC when Sutton is using every scheme known to football and none of them were working during periods of time.
It’s clearly a talent issue.

Soooo.....
When you're sporting a minimum of FOUR+ pro-bowl and all-pro players on your defense, filling the gaps with players that can be classified as "competent" just isn't going to get it done?
This defense needs to completely re-tool for an aggressive 4-3 which boasts at minimum one monster rushing DE, one monster rushing OLB, one elite CB, one elite to above average Safety, and a box-killing ILB.
Those very minimum and simple components, several of which are ALREADY IN THE CAN, can be used by a new and aggressive-minded D-Coord to create a Chiefs defense that can wipe this last 2 decades of bullshit off the map, and make this league remember why facing a Chiefs defense in Arrowhead Stadium is a dangerous proposition.
You're free to think to think otherwise, but I contend that the Chiefs have not played "Chiefs Defense" for AT LEAST 18 years now.
