Teicher|Sutton on Chiefs’ defense: ‘You don’t have to junk the system’

[Titty Meat]

What did you expect him to say? We're going to sit back and give the QB 10 seconds to throw the ball?

Could have said something stupid like, "The key to getting to the QB is stopping the run" or whatever it was Gunther said

I would hope he feels confident enough to take a more aggressive approach.

The fact that they actually evaluated what's here and decided which defense is the best fit instead of just going with what they've done in the past is good to hear.

Yeah, this. Using the talent here in the best way possible may seem simple but plenty of coaches go the other route. I really don't think this D is that far away if they just get the Dline to do something, anything. With our cap and spot in the draft, we should be able to fix the CB/S spots, probably ILB as well. Enough at least, that I don't think drastic steps in changing the entire defensive scheme was needed.

That's essentially what his scheme was asked to do under Mangini and what our scheme did under Romeo.

So yes, saying he wants to attack is a strong statement and one that should make people happy.
