Chiefs 10 changes that NEED to be made - Page 3

**BossChief** · 09-18-2012, 02:03 PM

1) Berry to free safety. The kid has speed to burn and is a superb tackler. That is a double edged sword for a guy coming off an ACL tear that's playing strong side safety. I think he should have been a free safety all along. He isn't playing well in coverage at all and my hope is that a move to the weak side will help him. He was a Ballhawk as a FS at Tennessee.

2) Daniels back to corner. This team is hurting for corners that can play and he is totally ineffective at safety. Stupid move to have ever moved him there in the first place.

3) Breaston needs to sit and Baldwin needs to start. I wasn't gonna overreact after him not getting a lot of time against Atlanta, but the kid needs to be on the field twice as much for us to get a return on the investment.

4) Cassel needs to be put on notice that he will get pulled if he doesnt start giving this team a spark. The guy obviously deflates the team when we are down in games and I'm already to see Quinn. He may not be an upgrade, but it's better than being complacent.

5) Romeo needs to dial it up a notch and stop playing on our heels. This defense came alive when we starting dictating the tempo last year and these players aren't built for read and react, they are ALL attacking types. USE THE STRENGTHS OF YOUR PLAYERS, ROMEO. More press, let the DL attack and run some zone blitzes like the second half of last year.

6) Cut Rope a fifty and sign Shaun Smith. This defense misses his attitude and intensity as a rotational linemen and he can come in right away and make a difference.

7) Pass more out of the two tight end sets. It seems we are becoming predictable with our formations and opposing teams can see it coming. We don't have the chemistry built yet to be able to dictate and impose our will in those sets...maybe even activate Maneri if we are gonna continue to do so.

8) Lilja needs to sit and Allen needs to take his place. I know the Bills DL is exceptional, but Lilja was a rag doll out there. The future starts now, no sense in leaving an ineffective 30 year old out there.

9) Let someone else make the defensive calls or share the HC responsibilities because having two guys do 3 peoples jobs with a roster that desperately needs development from top to bottom isn't working AT ALL. Gigantic design flaw that Pioli should damn well have known.

10) Jerrell Powe needs more time. Poe looks allright for a n00b, but Powe has a very high ceiling and needs reps to develop further. In limited time, he has shown the ability to blow shit up and this team needs all the explosives it can get.

I'd love to see Shaun Smith back and according to pretty much all of his Twitter posts, he'd love to be back. Not gonna hold my breath though..

Read points #10 and points #7 and apply them towards the Chiefs. Fits damn near perfect. We can not do #10, as Cassel is 3 and 17 in those type of games. And #7 replace Manning with Cassel and you have our team down cold.

Which means your point #4 needs to be taken seriously BossChief. As do the others. Good post.

I agree with #3. Breaston is decent, but would be better off the bench. Baldwin won't grow if not given the opportunity. I admit he could run better routes, especially when they require timing, but he has the ability to compete for the ball.

Damn dude you rocked it out. Nice

I would add, Have Jammal freaking Charles Start a game and get 20-25 carries.

**bevischief** · 09-18-2012, 06:23 PM

Stop helping them out we suck for Geno Smith and a new leadership.

Sorry.

Don't be. But the dude is correct. Asamoah has been getting destroyed out there in the first two games. He's horrible and can't pass block worth a lick. Like I said, they should have taken Zane Beadles instead of McCluster and this is a non-issue; however, the guard position is a serious question mark right now with both Lilja and Asamoah getting owned the first two games. And Allen was so up and down in the pre-season that who knows what he's going to provide.

Should have just drafted Pete Konz and left Hudson at guard. Konz looked really good for the Falcons again last night.

Wait until Pioli drafts Barrett Jones in the first round next year.

**MahiMike** · 09-18-2012, 07:44 PM

just go 0-16 and look at the long term benefits

Teams are daring the Chiefs to throw and coming after him.

4 seasons of starting in the NFL, I would hope that would be enough time for him to go through his progressions.

With our luck someone will go 0-16, and we will lose a 3 way tie and draft 4th overall.

FFS we went 2-14 and only drafted 3rd.

FloridaMan88 · 09-18-2012, 08:23 PM

10 changes? This can really be summarized in three changes...

1) Fire Fat Scott
2) Fire Romeo and his coaching staff
3) Shit can Cassel

Use the scroll down feature my friend, use the scroll down!

EDIT: It is a Whitlock article, but those two points are spot on for the Chiefs. That is not to mention the actual Chiefs point he brings up.

**BossChief** · 09-18-2012, 10:01 PM

My laptop is out of commission at the moment and I'm just using my phone and there is no scroll down.

Any chance you could copy and paste it here when you get the time?
