Of course, what I said before goes for just about every defensive player on the field. Missed coverage, missed key tackles, etc.

This has generally always been true in the NFL.

Offense is about talent.

Defense is about attitude.

I personally still think we don't have a guy on the defense that carries that "attitude".

Well we do, but he's out with an ACL tear. We REALLY miss Berry in more ways that people realize.

Absolutely.

It's about moving as a cohesive unit, and having that one guy that will rip your head off if you **** up.

It's contagious. Once the ball gets rolling, the defense will gain more and more confidence. But if there is one weak link that continues to fail (Safety), there is no sense of trust.

Of course, if Crennel ever decided to dial up the pressure he wouldn't have to cover nearly as long.

Wasn't Belcher only really exposed in coverage b/c DJ was blitzing instead of dropping into coverage.

• A Chiefs starter who might be out of a first-team role next season is ILB Jovan Belcher. Despite Belcher having finished second on the team in tackles with 87, there is a belief the team will try to upgrade the spot next to star ILB Derrick Johnson next season. Brandon Siler, who was placed on I.R. in training camp, just signed a one-year extension with the team, and inside 'backer is expected to be a position the team targets in the upcoming draft. Belcher, who went undrafted out of Maine in 2009, was called "an impressive player considering where he came from" by a team insider, who also added "but Belcher just isn't very good overall."

I have been saying this for 2 years.

225 as an ILB isn't going to cut it in the NFL... He was a nice surprise as an UDFA but shouldn't start going forward.

Munson 01-16-2012 07:42 PM

He's a serviceable ILB. If he loses his starting spot next season, we should keep him around as a back up LB and special teams player.

he went to Maine, know anyone drafted out of Maine?

What linebacker do we go for as a thumper? Hightower? Burfict? I don't think Kuechly would be a good fit

I'll say this, with Belcher, this is a top defense. So if you can find someone better, this defense might be one of if not the best in the league.

That is where he belongs. He isn't a starting caliber ILB

I like Hightower. Burfict is a "thumper" though. An uncontrolled, inconsistent "thumper".
