I can see why you wouldn't like her articles with the star. I wasn't a huge fan either. Her stuff at espn is completely different probably because she can cover more hard hitting stories than with the chiefs. Funny, because I hated her story on the belcher suicide last year. I just miss pos and Merrill because even if their stories were sometimes long and fluffy, they were very thorough and relied on tons of interviews most writers would be too lazy to get. These days, stories seem a little half ass. One or two interviews and that's it. I remember reading this piece on tampas problems and thinking... Damn. And that this is the kind of stuff she's probably one of the better people to cover:

Star caters to the casual fan that likes to br fluffed.

It does seem like a disproportionate amount of writers have gone from the Star to national media outlets. Every year it seems like a sports journalist from the Star is going off to ESPN, Fox Sports, SI, etc. I think it's quite impressive actually.

I like the good thoughts but my mom name's first name F****** leaves a lot to to be desired by this dumb***.

There was nothing insightful or revealing in that article. Nothing in depth about how Poe has improved by the front variations and the effect of the increased 1-gap principles with this defensive philosophy.


Additionally, (while I know that the statistics don't tell the entire story), the article solely highlights the favorable "rankings" of this defense. If this was truly a "good read" the writer could touch upon how Poe has been outstanding in run D despite the YPG/YPC, or how his hand technique/pad level has improved tremendously.

Instead, this article is bland and doesn't highlight anything in-depth. I have no idea how the news works but is it really that hard to teach football to the people covering this sport?
Gotta realize who this is written for.

Regardless who this was written, there is one basic truth to this.

Poe should only be touching his potential right now.

Welp, this is baldly sexist.

That is an excellent point.

The audience for the Star are people who don't know football either. And when has trying to teach the Chiefs fanbase anything gone over well? Easily digestible narratives are what they want to read.
