We all hated how our defense was coached, what players saw playing time, and how poorly the players on the field played.
We wanted Sutton gone, and many, like myself, wanted the 4-3 scheme. We were mad as hell because we didn't improve our defense before the trade deadline. And our worst fears were realized when the defense let Brady and the Patriots just hop, skip, and jump into the end zone during overtime, wasting one of the best offensive seasons in NFL history.
Chiefs fans demanded, pleaded, and prayed for defensive changes. AND WE GOT THEM. No one really knows how all the new defensive players will be able to perform individually or as a group, but Veach, Reid, and cHunt, have genuinely tried to improve the defense, and that's exactly what we asked for. So, I am going to reserve all judgment until I have seen the new DC, and all of the new defensive personnel, perform during regular season games.
And I didn't see every post in this thread, so if this has been discussed already, too bad.
Through their first 4 years, these are the regular season stats for Khalil Mack and Frank Clark per Football Reference:
Mack: 64 games - 1 INT - 9 Forced Fumbles - 40.5 Sacks - 84 QB Hits
Clark: 62 games - 1 INT - 8 Forced Fumbles - 35 Sacks - 72 QB Hits
This trade, along with all the other new defensive players, and the new Not-Bob-Sutton Defensive Coordinator, have already given me hope that another MVP type year from Mahomes and the offense won't be wasted again.
