ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator

I think our famine is a lot worse than other teams...and I think we fail to get pressure sometimes in key games and situations (like at Cincy this year and Buffalo at home).

I have been tough on the defense this year, and I think they have given up too many points to teams with really bad offenses (Tampa, 2 games against Denver)....but I think they are starting to hit their stride.

Also, winning at turnovers really, really helps this defense more than most. Keep the number of posessions that the opponent gets really helps. Saw it today--the Faiders had two turnovers, we had none, and on the drives where the Faid did move the ball against us, we made them use up large chunks of clock and come away with either nothing (turnover on downs) or a FG (8 minute drive in the 3rd).

It was just really good to see them give up less than 20 points today, especially after letting a really bad Denver offense carve them up for 28 and 24 points this year (two highest point totals the donkeys have had)

It's almost like football is still football.

Hmmm. I wonder if there are any players on the D Line that have had a surge forward in effectiveness recently that would help explain some of that.....

Damnit Karl is a bust/Knowshit

Too bad he ended his rookie season with a half sack less than Dungvers leader, and more sacks than anyone else on their team not named DreMont Jones!

Hell, promote Cullen. But, there have to be some young up and coming assistants out there. It doesn't have to be a name guy.

Anyone who watches this defense, and really thinks they are looking at a Top 10 defense, is delusional.

Cullen has been a DC, and spent several years on the staff of a very good Ravens defense.

He has made a dramatic improvement in the defensive line this year, including coaching up GK.

His age has nothing to do with anything.

Eagles RBs had 17 carries for 45 yards.

Spags, take a bow.

Not tonight, I'm afraid.

Hurts had almost 400 yards from scrimmage and 4 TDs. A lot of it was the players executing poorly but there were some BAD concepts sprinkled in as well.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 10:00 PM.
