*****Official: Scorch The Earth-Rep and Poll Thread***** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=321811)

Houston, Ford, Berry, and now likely Allen Bailey. It’s a complete overhaul and entirely contingent on the ability of Brett Veach to draft impact players in April. Reality is that the defense will likely suck again in 2019, but these moves had to be made.

I'm OK and actually happy we've shed Ford and Berry. Ford was a one trick pony and he was the reason we're not SB champs. 13 sacks is NOT a GREAT stat. Berry was a waste of a roster spot the last two years period. Losing Houston somewhat bothers me. He's a solid run defender, can set the edge and get you those big plays when needed. But, he's 30 and overpaid so I get it.

We're going to be young and fast on defense. If Spags brings the fire,scheme and aggressiveness and coaches up the players we'll be better.

Couldn't have said it better so I'll just quote it. :clap:

The defense was a tooth cavity.

You have to drill it out to repair it.

When I think of last year's _efense, I'm reminded of Todd Haley's "11 guys off the street" quip. Could 11 guys off the ****ing street have done much worse last year?

All the big money, big talk, disappeared when we needed them most, broke dick, overrated, lined up offsides assholes have been purged. **** 'em. Nowhere to go but up.

While Ford's gaffe was not the only reason we lost the AFCCG, I agree with you on everything else.
I don't think everything should be laid at Veach's feet. I'm pretty sure there were some come to Jesus meetings that lead to Sutton and most of the D staff being canned. I'm sure Andy and Spags opened more than 1 bottle of Diet Coke while looking at film and seeing who fit and who didn't in the new D. Now it's up to the brain trust at 1 Arrowhead to figure out where the money should be spent and who to draft.

Are you kidding??? That's the fun part!
