ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - A look at the improvement in the rushing defense.

I am quite pleased by the progress of Gunther’s Defense.

I am sure he was helped by several games against Offenses that are less than stellar. Or, in the case of the Ravens, seriously 1-dimensional.

Three games under their belt, the Chiefs Defense shut down one of the top rushing games in the NFL. Held a premiere RB well under a hundred yards and had him sucking for wind on the sidelines.

All this while losing a couple of starters. I was horrified when Fujita went out, because he is our best LB [and I concede that is a condemnation of our LB corps]. But even with Barber, Beisel and Mitchell at LB, the run D remained stout.

They stuffed Lewis, beat up Boller, forced several punts and made a Defensive stop to seal the victory.

Great job.

I am eager to see how good this Defense can be this season. I think the improvement will be capped early by the talent at LB & CB, but it is thrilling to see a Defense that will be better at the end of the year than it was at the beginning of the year.

Content, for the moment.
