You could be right and no doubt our LB's were shitty.

We will see this year if they can really step up and start dominating

There's a difference in good fan and homer to a ridiculous level fan.

Hydrae · 02-17-2009, 07:20 PM

We are having open competition for the coaching positions. No one is guaranteed anything, they must earn their spot on this team!

Cause this team is just loaded with awesome players right?

You got upset with me for saying it was time for Larry Johnson to go cmon.

soundmind · 02-17-2009, 07:22 PM

This is truly and wholly uninspiring. So if coaches mean a damn thing, and I believe they do, I'm going to need just as much alcohol to get through this season as last season, that's all these hires have forcasted. Our defense should probably be a 30/wk blunderf**k going by AZ and NO standards...

Shameful. Nothing but hiring whatever's left of some guys you used to work with, and keeping Krum...wow. That's just a slap in the face.

Then again, maybe this is my window to get into coaching on the NFL level...help Haley change a tire and you can pick a coaching job.

Yes, the only fans worse than us are Detroit fans. Why aren't they more positive?

**DaneMcCloud** · 02-17-2009, 07:23 PM

Uh, I'm speechless.

Other than Muir and possibly the special teams coach, I don't see any upgrades on the staff. I think losing David Gibbs will hurt. And as for Krumrie, Pendergast and Gibbs, blech.

Does anyone here still think the Chiefs will win more than 5 games in 2009?

For some reason, I'm extremely concerned about the draft after today's events...

Great he makes way to much money for being "decent" and acting like a jackoff..

Should have never resigned him I said it then and I still stand by that.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 02-17-2009, 07:25 PM

Awesome. We've hired 2 fired defensive coordinators. This is a ****ing train wreck.............

Truth? What "truth"? Start with the Bills...

Bills sack numbers:

2004: 45
2005: 38
2006: 40
2007: 26
2008: 24

YPC:

2004: 3.6
2005: 4.5
2006: 4.7
2007: 4.4
2008: 4.3

It's pretty clear that Krumrie wasn't the 'problem' with that Buffalo line. So, what significant move happened between 2004 and 2005, when the numbers for the run defense jumped up and have never recovered?

Pat Williams went to Minnesota.

Shockingly, we also see that the drop in the sack production happened after Krumrie was gone completely from the team and Schobel's play went into decline, from 14 sacks to 6 sacks to just 1 sack and 5 games this past season.
