If we stop the run, we can come back from any deficit.

Signing Watkins means Veach believes we can outshoot Brady and The Rapist in the playoffs.

Signing Hitchens and Williams is for stopping the run in a grind it out type game against Jax

This defense just has to be ok, the team has some money to play with, taking on a star to try to win a bowl. I think everyone in the Chiefs fandom can understand that.

Who signs a role player to that deal?

Just backloading a 4 year deal worth 4 million per year. Only hit the cap for 1.7 last year.

Yeah, I know. "Who pays a role player 4 million a year?"

The Chiefs. The Chiefs do that.

He's not even really that good of a role player, you should be able to draft a replacement for that role in like round 4 or 5 of a draft...yet we pay him.

Pretty sure Eric Murray has proven Sorenson isn't a "role" player.

That's the tragedy of all this, and precisely why trading for Thomas is a good idea.

Teams wanna run in on you? Fine. They can't score that fast and if you have a good offense let them run it.

I would go back to the playoff games and review. Passing didn’t beat us.

I don’t like the Speaks pick, but I guess I see the logic behind it.

Eric Murray is a bum, role players are better than bums. The problem is Sorenson should be a role player/backup but yea..

Not scoring any second half points was a bit of a problem.

It held them to what, 23 points though?

I mean, in today's NFL if your d can hold a team to that, you should win.

Except you have to stop the run in the first half to make sure that your offense can get you ahead of the other team.

Mahomes is 4-0 when the other team score 24+. :D

Yeah, but the way this team picks/develops safeties...

This defense has been shit ever since Abdullah retired. Dude was under-rated... Well, he was a lot better than the guys we've replaced him with anyway.

I mean, you can't be complete ass vs the run obviously, like last in the league.

But just don't suck at it.

It was an overreaction what they did.
