In case you didn't know, the Chiefs have arguably the best pass defense in the league. I'm not saying Lewis is anything better than average but he's good enough IMO considering the players surrounding him and you'll never have 11 great players on defense too. |

unless Lewis is somehow crucial to the secondary play calling, i just don't see it. .. never have 11 great players on defense .. lol wut? we are talking about replacing Lewis with guys already on the roster. You're just being silly.

We currently have 3 first round picks (by us) on offense, and one is hurt. Given that we are already without a second round pick next year and nearly maxed out from a cap standpoint, I don't know that we can afford, to go get somebody that is a proven commodity at this point. If there is a guy cut, or if someone is flashing in practice, go ahead and give it a try, but I don't see any way you deal for someone this year or target one in the first unless one falls right in your lap who is the perfect mix of need and value.

It's truly a blending of these observation tools and techniques combined with the accumulated understanding of the game and it's technical side like X's and Os that paints the clearer picture and why scouting talent is such if not the ultimate asset and resource in a teams success short or long term.

I was thinking about Lewis play the first 5 games
I mean, let's face the facts, football 101, probably if you have ever played football you had the fundamentals DRILLED into your head, and the first tackle you whiffed or soft alligator armed or shoulder throw attempt at putting a body in someone at ANY LEVEL of the game got you ****ing BENCHED next to the water cooler with no teammates around you to talk to. And if it didnt happen to you, it probably happened to one of your friends, and the guy behind him was probably ready to step up and stole the position more times than not on defense. And yet, Kendrick Lewis is still trotting out there every week and every snap. Does he even get yelled at? Which makes me think its all scheme, they tell him to do that. That if someone gets passed our strong front 7, Berry and Dunta and Abdullah who are all skilled in playing within the box, that Lewis should just, whatever... try and slow him down but dont hit, because he cant hit. That he is just out the to play single high center field for pass coverage reasons only, and offers no value in anything else but as the one guy that takes away the deep pass in all packages. I think they tell him to do his best Deion Sanders impression at tackling so it doesnt compromise their pass scheme. I know it's far fetched, but that is the only reason I can see why the guy has not been benched or replaced for clear breakdowns in textbook and football fundamentals. He's just out there to read QBs and WRs. Absolutely nothing else. |

Two firsts, two seconds, and two thirds spent on a position group that is massively underperforming. In fact, OL is the new DL. Additionally, having Glenn Dorsey (5th overall), Jon Baldwin (1st), javier Arenas (2nd) and Tony Moeaki (3rd) not even on the team anymore is just sickening. Pioli hit homeruns with a couple of guys, but he struck the **** out with the rest of his picks. I'll take a team hitting consistent doubles over that any day. |

The argument is also made for not assigning value on every play because a mediocre DB may simply become a skewed elite DB if he plays with terrible other DBS. All of a sudden it looks like you got lock down skills when really it's just your team mate or 2 can't keep within 5 yards of their man, so why would the offense even bother when they have a honey pot to move at will.

To add to my point of the value of Cooper because he takes away that 3rd option and Berry has been by a wide margin the best defender in the NFL on TEs- also #1 in shutting them down. So, now there are gaps for easy match ups even if you want to try to spread us out.
New article: Chiefs secondary best in the nfl by a large margin They are +27.5 as a unit- that is 15 more points than the SeaHawks, who are ranked 2nd. That's ****ing domination! http://kckingdom.com/2013/10/09/pff-...est-secondary/
