No, we're not:
Passing D:
KC is
8th in the NFL in sacks. We are actually in the top ten in sacks, in the NFL.
We were obviously able to put pressure on the QB, however the biggest problem in the passing D was the fact that we gave up some mighty big plays for KC is
LAST in yards per game,
26th in the NFL in INT's, and
30th in the NFL in passing TDs given up.
We obviously need major improvement in the defensive backfield.
Rushing D:
Again, our defensive line is doing mighty okay- they are
12th in the NFL in both rushing yards, and of course- rushing yards per game.
But, again, our defensive gave up the big plays:
27th in the NFL in rushing TDs, and
23rd in the NFL in giving up the big runs, 20 yards or greater.
Our defensive line isn't all that bad. Our linebackers and our defensive backfield is where we obviously need profound improvement- particularly if our offense is going to score 35 points a game. This draft should emphasize the LBs and the DBs, if we are ever going to improve this defense.
