No. I thought I made it quite clear, but I guess I have to be more blunt:
STEVEN SPAGNUOLO was the reason the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV.
Bob Sutton, who liked guys that put up flashy numbers, LOST US A CHANCE AT GOING TO A SUPER BOWL.
Spags probably could've gotten it done with another DE of his choosing. But he chose Frank, just like he chose Tyrann.
Look, everyone likes flashy stuff like sacks. I like sacks. My favorite Chief until Patrick came along was Derrick Thomas, the king of sacks. I was at the game when he posted 7 sacks. But we lost that game.
And I was a big fan of the defense in 2014 and 2015, and 2017, and I loved the fact that the Chiefs led the league in sacks in 2018.
But that AFCCG forced me to look at defenses completely differently after that loss. Sack artists are great in their place. But if that's all they do, if they're niche type players that can't play the run, or play in coverage, or make plays to give opportunities to their teammates, ultimately they are a weakness, not a strength.
Sacks are not the best indicator of the overall effectiveness of a defense, imo.
But now I'm just repeating myself for like the 10th time, so I'm done, again.
Btw, good job on getting me to bite on your troll job. i even saw it coming, but couldn't help myself. Well done. Sorry I let it get personal though. Next time I'll do better on that.:thumb:
