Offensively, they may remind people of the Chiefs in '03. At least, efficiently and scoring wise.
Defensively, they will be much improved. Losing Tamba and DJ at this point in their career is addition by subtraction. Even at replacement level players, it is an upgrade at both positions. I don't like our CB depth situation but Peters, while still having a good year, had the worst year I felt of his career. Plus, he became allergic to tackling, which used to be a strength. This defense should be middle of the pack IMO with potential to be top 10.

Excellent post!
Ragland was on Chanel 5 News last night during the sports segment. He talked about the Chiefs Defense being run over the last 2 years in the Playoffs and how embarrassed they were by their performance. He stated that basically, the number 1 goal of the organization was to be more physical in the run-stopping department. He said that is their main focus on defense-stopping the run. He mentioned he has changed his work out routine and the loss is always on his mind. Ragland talks like a leader and seems very focused on the upcoming season.
I was not a fan of the trade when it happened since he was coming off an injury, but I have grown to like him. He and Hitchens are going to be hitting hard in the middle of that defense and I think they will set the tone for the entire unit.
