You can throw all the stats and opinions out that you want but this defense looks WAY better than any D I have seen fielded around here in quite some time. They will improve as the season progresses and a lot of our talent is young guys. This D is worth being excited about.

Denver's offensive gameplan was almost as leashed as ours. I'm still skeptical about us being that good.

This defense kept Denver to 9 points at home. If they perform like this all season then they're a good defense.
God that's something we haven't been able to say around here for a long time. Good Defense. Yeah if they keep it up, they're good. That's the bottom line. |

I saw Law 'slip' too vs. Jevon Walker. Pile high dry Turf as the dust flew...
In general he played well was on top of him. Because he didn't get an INT or Pick 6 on Jake he played bad? I don't think so. This D is a top 10-15 easy.

From today's Denver Post:
"I thought we dialed it back a little bit. We put a little more pressure on our defense," said Shanahan, who admitted after five turnovers against the Rams last week he was not about to let Plummer throw the same junk around his own backyard Sunday. |

Stud DT away from a very good defense imo.
And I'm usually called a pessimist. Not to Logical's level, or even close it, but still. I disagree with the assessment personally. |

It doesn't matter if Denver was conservative or not, this defense stopped them time and again. Team's played conservative offense against us in the past and yet they continued to score and accumulate yardage. |

Yes!
Good defense and poor offensive potential. Now all we need is to bring the Tomahawk Chop back and we'll be in 1994 again. |

I've said all along that I think this defense is better than most Chiefs fans do. They were better last year than people recognize and I expect continued improvement. But I also recognize that Shanahan is was trying to grip on a QB situation that was in a tailspin. The offense we faced was toned down. Period. I'm not going to put more stock into holding Denver to 9 points than is really there. This defense hasn't been put to a true test yet IMO. They've faced a Cincy O that was in cruise control by halftime, and a Denver O that was leashed in an attempt to stave off QB controversy. It's a good start, but it's only a start.

Too be honest, I'm getting excited about this defense. I think they're in a transition stage right now, and I think they'll get better as the season progresses.
I've noticed a few things here, that NEVER happened with Vermeil. Our tackling has improved bigtime. Especially in the secondary. And, we haven't given up the big plays YET. We're playing a lot smarter. Our players are reading plays, batting down balls, etc. Few things we need to do though, to become an even BETTER defense, we need to force more turnovers. Go after the ball more, force fumbles. And we have got to create more pressure on the QB. Im still seeing the opposing QB having some time to throw the football. Other than that, if you ask me, we're headed in the right direction on defense. Tackling, and not giving up big plays is a GREAT start. |
