Chiefs 10 changes that NEED to be made - Page 2

**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.

Ropati is a huge disappointment thus far.

He needs to get replaced by the deep freeze nut cruncher.

Blick · 09-18-2012, 02:31 PM

Agreed on all accounts.

I don't know how Ropati made the team.

Amon Gordon was better.

**gblowfish** · 09-18-2012, 02:36 PM

Who has time to read lists that are ten things long???

Reerun_KC · 09-18-2012, 02:40 PM

This.

Micjones · 09-18-2012, 02:44 PM

I agree with most of the list.
I wouldn't sit Breaston in favor of Baldwin though.

Chiefnj2 · 09-18-2012, 02:45 PM

It doesn't matter if it is Baldwin or Breaston. The #2 WR isn't getting many looks. They could start an armless guy and it wouldn't make a difference.

Nightfyre · 09-18-2012, 02:51 PM

The problem is that Cassel doesn't go through progressions. He stares down his number one read and if he isn't comfortable with the throw he checks down.

He doesn't go through progressions well.
He hasn't had much time to do that though.
Teams are daring the Chiefs to throw and coming after him.

Cassel just sucks. I don't care why he doesn't go through progressions.

**BossChief** · 09-18-2012, 03:07 PM

We also need to eliminate these timely turnovers.

The two Cassel fumbles and the Hillis one all KILLED US.

You aren't gonna win in this league when you turn the ball over when the game is still close and you play flat.

KC_Lee · 09-18-2012, 03:15 PM

So let's say the Chiefs make all 10 of these changes. We go what, 10 - 6 or 9 - 7 and pull a wild card.

That give us;
- Cassell as our QB forever
- Pioli as GM for another 10 years
- And RAC as HC for at least 2 more years with no up and comer waiting in the wings to take over. Meaning we get another NE retread.

Are we sure we really want the Chiefs to make these changes?
