I'm sorry, but losing a guard who has been on the roster for literally less than a calendar year is not going to create a massive leadership void.

1. The Chiefs have zero leadership on offense outside of Alex Smith, Branden Albert and Schwartz. 2. Geoff Schwartz was incredibly popular and outspoken in the locker room. |

There's almost no leadership on the team. Guys like DJ were no where to be found for interviews after the last Denver game this year. Only Dunta Robinson displayed any sort of fire on the sideline over the course of the whole season.

And doing interviews is what makes a leader?...

He's the most veteran member of the defense, if not the whole franchise, and he got the **** out of Dodge to avoid talking to the press about a pretty bad home loss to a division rival.
That tells me all I need to know about the leadership for the team: there isn't any.

I kid. Actually, it tells me the guy didn't feel like talking to a ****ing reporter. Big deal. Last I checked, he isn't supposed to be leading the reporters. |

I neither agree nor disagree. I have absolutely no idea how the remaining three starting offensive linemen felt about Schwartz. Did they really perform better because they were "led" by him? Did he really inspire them to better play? Are they going to suffer because a guy who was on the bench for 9 games isn't there to lead them?
I honestly can't tell you for sure, but I doubt it. Dude signed a one year contract, started seven games, and is a free agent. I'm not sure this is quite the devastating scenario that it's being made out to be. Or maybe it is. We went from 2-14 to 11-5. But I'm pretty sure the biggest leadership boost on offense came from Alex Smith, not a backup guard. Okay, I think we just have wildly different interpretations of the leadership situation on the team. |
