Misc Things Chiefs Need to Change for Success - Page 2

Sorter · 09-17-2012, 12:08 PM

Here are some of mine, add what you see fit. I think most of us are in agreement on the first 3. The 4th is interesting to me because there are some who want us to switch back to the 4-3.

1. New QB. Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, or Matt Barkley.
2. New Head Coach: Rod Chudzinski, Mike Zimmer, Vic Fangio would all be good candidates.
3. New GM: Eric DeCosta
4. Switch from the 2-gap to the 1-gap. Put Poe at RDE, move Dorsey to LDE or draft a replacement if he walks and start Powe at NT. To me, the 1-gap gives us the best chance to maximize our talent and start getting pressure from our base 3-4 front. We NEVER get pressure from our base alignment, a 3-4 odd front due to our line playing the 2-gap. I want penetrating D-Lineman who are athletic, quick, and nasty.
5. A new inside LB that can cover. I love what Belcher does for this team in run-support but he gets victimized in coverage too many times.

Yes, they can.

The Chiefs wouldn't allow teams to contact Zorn.

I don't believe they were interviewing him for an OC job. Pretty sure it was for QB coach.

I don't know why people are down on 2 gap.

Our biggest problems are we have a huge liability at nose tackle, which we all know is critically important. We have a soft team playing with no discipline which is a coaching problem.. And we have a poor scheme because we have no defensive coordinator.

These are problems we'd have regardless of whether we played a 2 gap.

I love Barkley and will wait a little longer on Geno Smith until they play a college game this season. Although his completion % is really good. And Tyler Wilson is nothing I want anywhere near this team. I just don't see a very good arm, especially on accuracy and with a year out...no thanks. I wanted RG3 so bad

Barkley is legit right now. The others have some more to prove a la RG3 last season. What I loved most about RG3 was his pinpoint accuracy on the deep ball and his amazing athletic ability.

The best 3-4 defenses in the league play 1-gap.

The 2-gap defense is based on maintaining your responsibilities - hold the point here here and here and you'll stop the offense. The modern NFL is slanted so thoroughly in favor of the passing game that it's just not possible to play passive defense anymore. The modern game just doesn't allow for it to work.

The best 3-4 defenses give up yards and occasional big plays. They also make big plays at critical times and give the ball back to the offense.

We need to draft a QB, just not next year. The year after that there's a lot of blue chip prospects coming out.

Sure they can if the guys under contract they can do what ever they want.

It's really this simple. Get a competent GM, head coach, and draft a good young QB. Lets try that and see how it goes.

There are a shit ton of talented QBs coming out. Barkley and Smith to name a few. I'd take either right now.
