OK TFM what of this ...

And while I'm on the subject of predictions, what of Mr. Whitlock's concerns regarding the team's pass rush ? He noted that "from my view, the Chiefs defense has just one hole." (Kansas City Star, July 26, 2000) Calling Duane Clemons a "Minnesota castoff" (an incorrect characterization if you know anything about unrestricted free agency), the object of his concern was pressuring the opposing team's quarterback. Well now, the Chiefs have 26 sacks at the season's midway point, the club's most after eight games since the great defensive team of '95. And this from a defense that has been hobbled by injuries. With Clemons racking up 2 ? of those sacks despite missing four games with a hip injury, the defensive line has been responsible for 20 of those sacks following a year when they only had 20.5 the entire season.

If there are two things the Chiefs have proven they can do at the midway point of this season it is pass the football and rush the passer. "

Is whitless right or wrong?


(point is, Whitless writes by the shotgun method, scatter enough BS around, and some will tick. But the majority will fall harmlessly to the ground to be forgotten, which is what he hopes)<P>
