GR ran the cover-2. Indy, the D that we have shredded twice in the last year, runs the cover-2.
It's a scheme. It doesn't work miracles. We tried it with this group, and it failed. |

Nein. The #1 issue is still corner. Yes the safeties haven't played well (TREAT OTHER PEOPLE THE WAY THAT YOU WANT TO BE TREATED). But the corners have been in man coverage and got roasted. That ain't the safeties problems.
If we can get a stud at LDE and Siavii can beat out Sims in training camp next year, a Cover 2 would work well (provided we ALSO get someone to play linebacker opposite Fujita). The main thing is getting a good pass rush from the front 4 in cover 2. It worked well in Tampa Bay because Simeon Rice and Warren Sapp were awesome.

Regarding Tampa, Sapp isn't there this year and they as a team have only 5 more sacks than us. We are #7 in sacks on the season, Thanks Jared Allen. Scary thought, I wonder how GR's scheme would have done THIS YEAR, given the new enforcement of the rule. |

DV got the players he wanted, to fit his offense, his way. Gun should do the same...

Don't forget that Tampa has Derek Brooks. A LB that runs faster than any CB on our roster.
He gets into that underneath coverage pretty quick. |

Second, the Chiefs need better performance at safety, corner, and pass rush to be effective at cover 2. Cover 2 is a defense that is good if the talent is top notch. If not it is a defense prone to give up big plays. Bottom line, the Chiefs do not have enough talent on defense to play cover 2. Personally, I really like what Gun is accomplishing on defense. It has been slow, but they are getting better every week. Even Mitchell is improving. Give Gun more time and he will improve the defense. Forget the Cover 2 crap, which was a mainstay of the Robinson debacle. |

Robinson tried to run zone coverage almost his entire time here. It failed miserably.
either nobody knows how to teach zone techniques or our players just suck. Warfield is definately not a zone type guy

6 in one, one-half dozen in the other...
Cover 2 works just fine, if you have the personnel for it. Man or cover-1 works just fine, if you have the personnel for it. The problem is that we don't have the personnel for EITHER. Our safeties suck and can't play cover 2. Our cornerbacks suck and can't play man. Besides, who cares who ranks #1 against the pass? The only thing that matters is where you rank against the run. |

Was I the only one that thought we should have ran the ball with 2:40 to go and it 3rd and 4??? No, we pass, and Trent fumbles. |
