He's also more injury prone...........he's basically stop gap.....we also need more/better lineman.

Safety, D-Tackle and MLB are the most important positions in a Cover 2

We got a faster dude who's tailor-made for the cover 2, Napolean Harris. His rookie year, he was the MLB for the Raiders' Super Bowl squad, and for the past couple years played for the #1 run defense in the league, the Vikings.

Our safeties are young and have great potential. Jarred Page and Bernard Pollard both showed nothing but talent last year and they earned the starting spot this year over incumbent veterans.

Our CBs are old, but they are decorated guys. Ty Law has three Super Bowl rings with the Patriots, numerous Pro Bowls, and personal tormentor of Peyton Manning. Complimenting him is Patrick Surtain, who's a former Pro Bowler as well, and sometimes still plays like a shut down corner.

Our defense is in real good condition for 2007.

But yes, good to great safeties are a must, they have to cover lots of ground. Hopefully we have those with Pollard and Page (both rookies last year).

Our MLB is Napoleon Harris, who is much more suited for the C2 than Kawika was. He's taller, faster and quicker. We signed him in free agency. He was actually drafted by the Raiders and was part of the Randy Moss trade.

I had forgotten about acquiring Harris. Who are our CB's?

Answered my next question before I asked it!

Well Derrick Brooks has done a nice job in the D not being a MLB.

Ty Law and Patrick Surtain.

They are old and we need new ones, but they are pretty well suited for the scheme. Good tacklers.

Offense....

I know that a Flea Flicker is when the QB passes the ball to the RB in order to throw the defense off. The RB then returns it to the QB, who goes for a deep pass.

Yup.

ChiefsPlanet criticized the Chiefs quite a bit last year for not pulling that particular prank enough.

Here is one of the easiest things to learn about offensive football - the passing tree. It explains all the different routes receivers can run. Once you understand that alot of stuff becomes clear:

It was so cool to see in person! Awesome. It would also require a good O-line, no?

Honestly, this is going to sound like a BS answer, but it's sincere:

Every single offensive play you could draw up depends on a good OL.

More than any other position in the NFL, the quality of OLs determine how good a team is.

I don't need to explain that this doesn't bode well for the Chiefs.

It's just showing you the different routes receivers can run, branching out from a formation with four different wide receivers.

The slant obviously slants into the middle fo the field. The fade goes down the field and "fades" toward the sideline. The "curl" has the receiver running downfield, stopping and curling back.
