Yeah the D-line is going to be insane good, and much more well balanced.

[tmax63]

They will help take heat off the CBs by "speeding up the clock" and with better safety play I'm not as worried as some are here.

[Naptown Chief]

I'm stoked about the DL too. What a turnaround

[smithandrew051]

You hear Keenan Allen’s comments on the secondary?

Yeah we have work to do there...but what’s your career record against us again? How many times have you won the West?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

And just think we got the DL coach from NE . I think that's icing on the cake.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

This. I love it that our defense is finally coming together and being both coached and run by highly competent people who want to compete with Mahomes and the offense for prestige. It's everything I've ever asked.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

And just think we got the DL coach from NE . I think that's icing on the cake.

Any time you can steal from NE, that's just delicious icing on the cake my friend.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Yep, Josh McDaniels was awesome for us in denver.

[Titty Meat]

He did one hell of a job building it in 1 off season not gonna lie it went from absolute shit to good with alot of depth in a weeks time

[Rain Man]

I think our three strongest position groups are:

1. Quarterback. (Pops champagne cork, drinks it as it flows out the bottle.)
2. Defensive line.
3. Kicking specialists.

[Red Dawg]

We beefed up. No more losing against RB's. That was the worst in my book. Getting ran over. At least now the QB will have to make a throw.

[Pitt Gorilla]

How does he feel about his work on the TE position this offseason?

[TEX]

Yeah the D-line is going to be insane good, and much more well balanced.

Not just depth, but quality depth also.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Yep, Josh McDaniels was awesome for us in denver.

LMAO

I mean steal VALUABLE assets. For US!

Ya' goof.


But yeah, ol' Josh was a wonderful donkey.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Why is corner considered such a weakness anyway? Is Breeland not an upgrade from Nelson?

[Easy 6]

If you need a defensive rebuild, focus on your front line first... and that’s exactly what Veach did

That guy really proved his mettle this year, expertly juggled all kinds of needs and bombshells

[Pasta Little Brioni]

How does he feel about his work on the TE position this offseason?

Who the fuck cares really. Did it hurt having a turd like Harris as a backup last year??

[tmax63]

How does he feel about his work on the TE position this offseason?

I'd bet he's not satisfied yet and will keep looking under rocks, in trashcans and anywhere else you might find a TE2 or 3 depending on the new blood already in house. I may be wrong though, he might be happy as a pig in shit and take a vacay to Boca for the next 3 months.

[RustShack]

I’ve never seen a fan base so infatuated with the TE2 position. Sure, would would be great to have backups who would start for other teams.. but no team is stacked top to bottom with no weakness.

[Bump]

LE is a little bit of concern but at least we picked up a veteran filler. I've given up on KPass, hopefully speaks can play that position.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Jones may even play outside a little. Speaks should do a lot better at DE

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

As a Chiefs fan I ask myself this too. We just lack depth at CB and Breeland is only here for 1 year and people are also worried that award is a one hit wonder

[Titty Meat]

How does he feel about his work on the TE position this offseason?

I mean you arent going to fill every single hole.

Oh no our #2 TE sucks were fucked

[New World Order]

Now let’s go get a good corner and have a top 5 d

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Blake Bell is our #2!! We can always call Philip Supernaw back

[Best22]

You hear Keenan Allen’s comments on the secondary?

He’s a fool

Chargers don’t have much to trash us with right now. They’re vet QB has fewer All-Pros than Mahomes

But they are offseason champs for the third consecutive year. Gotta give them credit for winning in April-August

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Who the fuck cares really. Did it hurt having a turd like Harris as a backup last year??

This is kinda a good point.

People say that if Kelce gets hurt there’s no one behind him. But there really wasn’t last year either.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Wait what did Keenan Allen say

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Keenan Allen was asked about the Chiefs’ busy offseason with departures and additions. “It was brought up today in the locker room. We just looked at their DB group and I’ll just leave it at that.”

https://twitter.com/gmanzano24/status/1122948505989828608?s=21

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Keenan Allen is a shit talker. But the idiot clearly doesn’t put any stock into coaching. Which is too bad cause Spagnuolo, Daly, Merritt, and House could wind up fistfucking Phyllis’ a time or two this year.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I want Ward ���������� play of the game to cock punch that motherfucker right in the balls

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I almost want them to trade for Peterson or Rhodes just so someone can ask that motherfucker what he thinks of their DB group then.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Allen won’t be catching a lot of passes while our DL is grinding Rivers’ face into the grass repeatedly.

Lot of cockiness for a player whose team has been thoroughly dominated for years aside from the last 5 min of the last outing.

[New World Order]

I almost want them to trade for Peterson or Rhodes just so someone can ask that mother****er what he thinks of their DB group then.

Vikings have been receiving trade interest for Rhodes and Waynes

Perhaps we're one of those teams?

[Red Dawg]

Trade all our picks. If it means we are all in then fugg it.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Vikings have been receiving trade interest for Rhodes and Waynes

Perhaps we're one of those teams?

Isn’t Rhodes better then Wayne’s?

[Chiefs=Champions]

The Db group will remember that when we play the Chargers.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I haven't given thought to the Chargers since Buck had a new, unburnt cap.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Vikings have been receiving trade interest for Rhodes and Waynes

Perhaps we're one of those teams?

Any time a position of need for the Chiefs has players in trade talks, it’s safe to assume Veach has called. Lol

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Vikings have been receiving trade interest for Rhodes and Waynes

Perhaps we're one of those teams?

We need to pick up one or the other if we're not going to play with the PP.

[New World Order]

What's the deal with Rhodes last year?

Was he hurt or something?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

What's the deal with Rhodes last year?

Was he hurt or something?

Think he dealt with a lingering thing a bit

[gonefishin53]

Isn’t Rhodes better then Wayne’s?

Rhodes is their #1 CB but Waynes allows a 68 QB rating in press man coverage and is a top 10 CB vs the run. Waynes allows a 98 QB rating in zone coverage and since the Vikings play more zone than man coverage, his overall rating is just slightly above average. Waynes is in the last year of his contract and it's doubtful they will resign him so that would seem to make him the more available of the two. A 68 QB rating in press man coverage and top 10 vs the run would be a good fit at LCB in Spags defense, imo.

He fucking well should be excited about it. He's sunk the bulk of draft and FA resources into the position for 2 consecutive years.

A Big HELL YEAH to all of this!

[RunKC]

Last year we had 3 players. That was basically it because Speaks was a rookie playing out of position and Tanoh barely even played.

Now we have 2 strong pass rushers (Jones/Clark) with a nice complimentary rusher (Okafor), a decent contributor in a contract year (Ogbah), a pass rusher with some experience playing his natural position (Speaks) and an athletic as hell rookie to mix in (Saunders).

Then you have Attouchu as a rushing backer who has decent pass rush talent for his position and athleticism to line up on the LOS in different situations.

There’s going to be a lot different options for this team. I feel like the depth is so much better overall.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

The depth is a lot better and we have a load of UDFA that could make this team on both sides. I expect a LB, CB, WR and RB to come from the undrafted class and make the 53

Heh, the Jags laughed at us last season. Right before we proceeded to dismantle their defense and break their will. The team went down the tubes in pretty dramatic style after that game.

Yeah that was great. Too bad they didn’t keep Bortels for one more year!

Kelce gets injured again. Who takes his place/production?

So you are worried like DTVietnam then?

[Wilson8]

A second TE doesn’t matter…until it does.

Last season Travis Kelce had 103 receptions and 150 targets. Patrick Mahomes threw to Travis over 25% of the time during the season. In the AFC Championship game New England limited Travis to 3 catches. Demetrius Harris was of no help with 1 catch for 2 yards.

After striking gold with drafting Travis Kelce, KC has gone with Demetrius Harris, Blake Bell, Deon Yelder, David Wells, Alex Ellis, Ross Travis, Orson Charles, James O’Shaughnessy, Brian Parker, Phillip Supernaw, Sean McGrath, and Anthony Fasano (picked up same year as Kelce). Others that never made the actual team are Jace Amaro, Richard Gordon, Adam Schiltz, and Ryan Taylor. Players added for this year include Blake Bell and Logan Parker.

Not advocating that KC needs to use a high round draft pick or sign a high dollar free agent to fill this role but at least make something other than a minimum effort to help this position.

Kansas City Chiefs would have been a better team last year with free agent TEs Eric Ebron 2 year $13 M contract, with 66 catches, 750 yards, and 13 TDs or Benjamin Watson $2 M contract, 35 catches, 400 yards, 2 TDs or having drafted a 4th round picks Chris Herndon, 39 catches, 502 yards, and 4 TDs or Ian Thomas 36 catches, 333 yards and 2 TDs.

So having a GOOD second TE isn’t critical but it would make the Chiefs a better team.

Sorry. Carry on with our DL is very good and I do like what Brett Veach has done with this position.

[CoMoChief]

secondary is still gonna be trash.

it will be better than last yr, but still trash...I mean really the only way to go is up.

[dlphg9]

Can anyone name a team that is ecstatic about their teams backup TE? Just seems like a stupid fucking thing to get worked up about. I'm extremely pissed that we don't have a starting caliber #2 QB! It's fucking dumb.

To think some of you idiots wanted to spend a high pick on a TE because what if Kelce gets hurt. Do you know how dumb that sounds?

Except teams line up in 2 and 3 tight end sets all the time, whereas most #2 quarterbacks don't see the field and are backing up at the most protected position. So basically, there's no comparison asshat.

LOL. They just had the 3rd best offense in the history of the game. They would not have been better at all considering there was no injury.

But don't worry, another TE is on the way but it is far from a big concern for this team.

[Naptown Chief]

This new D-line is making my horny long time! I haven't been this excited about or D in years. If/when we add a stud CB I may nut myself...

[Pitt Gorilla]

To think some of you idiots wanted to spend a high pick on a TE because what if Kelce gets hurt. Do you know how dumb that sounds?Do you see a lot of 2 and 3 QB sets on the field? If not, your comparison is significantly dumber than the worry some of us are expressing.

I feel like people are somehow forgetting:
1) the playoff game against the Colts where Kelce got injured, and
2) the value of a second TE/in-line blocker/H-back in the passing and running games.

Maybe Blake Bell is much better than I realize. Either way, I assume Veach will get a better player there before the season.

[Mecca]

The DL fits well with what spags likes to do with rotating and Daly working with a lot of this young talent should be a big deal.

I think we might actually see something from guys like Tanoh.

We have two very good fullbacks. I've said it before, but I can't help but wonder if they aren't going to convert Sherman to TE2. Great blocker, great hands when thrown to, and he lined up wide as a TE a couple of times last year...

Even if they don't do that, there's still 4 months until week 1. There's plenty of time to address TE2, which is clearly most important position in all of football based on the incessant ranting of some..

[Naptown Chief]

I hope so. I really want that kid to succeed. If any staff can salvage his career it's ours..

[Naptown Chief]

The kid is smart and is a physical freak.

I don't think playing out of position helped his learning curve.

That I do agree with. If the staff gives him the time of day there's no reason to think he won't make that leap this year
