Q: When fans just want the defense to be middle of the pack how does that make you feel?
KNIGHT: “When I hear that it, it makes me sick to my stomach. It really does. It makes me want to throw up. These guys are out here busting their ass all day and we expect to be the top defense in the league. That is what we shoot for. Just like the offense is expected to be the top offense in the league, we expect to be the top defense. Anything less is uncivilized. I just laugh at. If that is where they want to slot us that is fine. If that is where they want us to go that is fine. If people put limitations on you, you will be limited. We set our expectations to the highest level. We want to be the best. We may not be the best in the beginning, but when the end of December comes around we want to be the best.”
Does this fire anyone else up, not settling to be average but shooting to be the best. Not playing "Not to Lose it for the Offense" but playing to win it for the team. This reminds me of the attitude of the Great CHIEFS "D" that we miss. I too am tired of expecting the "D" to just be good enough, I want it to be great, I want to have arguements on this board on whcih side of the ball is better the Offense or the Defense. How about #1 Offense and #1 Defense in the NFL this year to add to a Superbowl Victory, would life be any sweeter. GO CHIEFS.
