Mort says it's NOT the scheme....
 

...it's the talent of the players...and poor tackling that is the problem on the Chiefs D. Check out today's Mort chat on ESPN for link. There you have it. I trust Mort more than a lot of football analysts...although most of us knew that already. Let's face it...time for Carl to draft a stud d player...not a tweener, project, or reach anymore.

what he said...
 

Tackling is the biggest problem, there were many times they had Foster stopped at the line and then he broke tackles to gain 8 yards, wrap up you morons!

im shocked... you mean we should of added talent this offseason to the defense?!?

Scheme is working great, we got in the backfield all day against Carolina, just didn't wrap up and make the tackle. We do that and our defense would improve my leaps and bounds.

What was the 6th pick in the draft (Sims) suppose to be?

Were we not sold the bill of goods on Barber. He was a top flight LB in the NFL?

That Mcleon was good enough. We didn't need to draft a corner. We needed a project DT worse.

It's neither scheme nor talent. It's a lack of execution.

Isn't lack of execution a reflection of the talent??

and coaching

How many actually thought that the talent level was there to be a top tier D?

I didn't.

My problem with Spinner's scheme was that his passive approach allowed teams to get back into games after the Chiefs O scored some points.

I want to see Gun's scheme in action when the Chiefs get some points and have a lead.

Gun will attack and force some mistakes.

Clearly the talent level has to be improved, but I thought Gun's attacking style, combined with a high octane O would be able to mask some of the talent deficiencies on D.

So far we haven't had an opportunity to see that.

I would agree with this. I see the Chiefs defensive players in the right position to make the play now more than ever. It's a matter of finishing the job.

The defense needs to work together, seems like everyone is lost out there!

Not IMO.

Get Gun out of the booth and down with the troops. He looks like a caged lion whenever they show him on TV. He's be more effective on the sidelines with the D.

imo we haven't seen gun's attacking defense in action is because he found out, just like Greg Rob/inson found out, that our secondary isn't good enough to cover behind a blitz.
