I don't think the players were the main problem with the defense. They were a problem, obviously, but Bob was ****ing clueless all season. When players don't know what to line up in, as evidenced by the Chargers game at home, that is on the coaches and not the players. The inability to tackle is a coaching problem, same as the penalties. All of that comes from the top down. Andy should have been more hands-on with the defense when it came to fundamentals and penalties, and Bob damn sure should have been working on that every single week.
I don't follow the same belief of many here. I do not think the Chiefs are going to blow up their defense. I think we are going to see most of the players return, and 1 or 2 key free agents signed at most. I am assuming a safety will be brought on board, one that is smart and can help rookies learn the system. At least one starting corner for next year isn't even in the league yet.

I don't disagree EXCEPT that I don't think you can do anything at all really in free agency if you roll with Berry, Ford and Houston's salaries when you need to extend Jones and Hill or you're ****ing yourself in the future. There will be no 'veteran safety'. And if Houston's your SAM then that is a woeful overpay.
