Donkeys want Edge, caught my typo before you bastards corrected me

[ChiefsfaninPA]

Name one big name free agent the Donkeys haven't been trying to get. It doesn't matter who they pick up, they still will have Jake "I suck major bahs" the Snake at QB.

All fans should want their teams to show interest in anyone that can upgrade their team.

Edge will cost too much cash though...

I wouldnt say Edge is necessarily an upgrade to KC's RB corps, but that's just me.

I'm missing where I suggested that one... I was addressing the comment about Denver chasing "every" FA and just making a statement that suggested, if there's room for improvement - go for it.

I don't think you'll find anyone that thinks Edge is an upgrade for KC. But I think MHM was meaning he was an upgrade for Denver.

Interesting. A few years ago, we were being told that Shanahan can make any back thrive in his system. That's why they could trade away Portis for Champ Bailey. Now fast forward and Denver still has a terrible pass defense, and they're in the market for a star RB.

The genius is chasing his tail.

Enh, I don't know if he's chasing his tail... Bailey has worked out and even without a "premier" RB, the team was what... #2 (maybe 3) rushing in the NFL? Personally, I like the premier back mentality, but it's hard to argue with his system's success for RBs. They nearly had two 1,000 yard backs.

The team wasn't perfect and has some issues, but they were one game from the big one... so, he's doing something right. The defense improved, the offense was good... but, they both collapsed at the worst time ... against Pitt.

It's probably more of a case of Denver fans chasing their tails...

Personally, I don't know what to think of your running game. While it looks statistically like it's working fine, it's also clear that it struggles when you need it most. You don't have a RB that you can really lean on. Bell reminds me of Michael Bennet for the Vikings. He's a threat, but he's too inconsistent to ever be the feature back.

Your pass D is a disaster. They rely too heavily on the blitz, and teams like NE and PIT, that were able to neutralize the blitz, shredded you guys. You're in much the same situation as KC IMO. Your D-line can't consistently pressure, so too much lands on your secondary. You rectify the pressure problem with blitzing, and it results in opening other areas. The only difference is your team blitzes more effectively than KC does.

I will not disagree on those two aspects... I miss the badass RB that can take over a game when you need it. The RBBC can do it at times, but not consistently. Also, it doesn't allow one of the guys to really get in a groove.

On the pass defense... they blitz way too often and live or die by it, the D Line sucked in sacks. Sure, they had lots of pressures and knock downs, but not enough of the crushing sacks.

Chasing his tail? He got to the AFC Championship game this year. I'm willing to wager that the vast majority of Chiefs fans would be very happy if they had a coach who could chase his tail deep into the playoffs.

Your assesment of Denver's pass D is way off the mark and shows either a lack of knowledge or a bias against Denver. Shanny started two different rookie DBs and gave a third significant PT. With a year under their belt they will be major contributors to a solid D backfield.
The concept is known as drafting and growing your own players and has been known to work from time to time.

In addition to the rookies, Denver also had a long stretch of games through the season where they jumped out to huge leads forcing teams to drop the run and pass pass pass.
