Sports Illustrated MMQB: Chiefs' defensive improvement warrants mention
 

From the SI Monday Morning QB vlog just now...

The Chiefs’ defensive improvement warrants mention—Kansas City shut out Oakland over the final three quarters on Sunday—and it goes beyond the numbers. The team is seeing a more gap sound group, better fundamentals and, just as important, in-game adjustments from Steve Spagnuolo’s staff. Improvements at safety (Juan Thornhill, Tyrann Mathieu), linebacker (Darron Lee, Damien Wilson) and defensive end depth (Frank Clark, Alex Okafor, Emmanuel Ogbah, etc.) haven’t hurt either.

JIMP. Only going to get better, barring injuries.

Yasssss kween!

Just wait until they add Ramsey!

We have better tackling, better tackling and better tackling.

That is all.

The real test comes this Sunday.

And that should always help defense?

When you see how many times last year a runner broke 2,3,4, or even 5 tackles and instead of a 2 yard gain they were ripping off chunks of 8-12 yards.

We are stopping guys at the first point of contact. :thumb:

...the real test comes every Sunday of the season..

I expect to see how good they are Sunday. I’m not expecting perfection because I think they’re still learning, but a speedy ravens receiving core and a full time run threat is gonna test them.

Finally started using a live chicken and adding "tackling fuel" to the Gatorade!

It surely looks like fundamentals are improving....
