Yeah, I wasn't really thinking they'd be equal, just that KC D would be better than they are right now. Once Gay is back, and McDuffie, and as the secondary gels and gets more comfortable, they should be a lot better than they are now. And we have multiple years of historical precedent to lean on in that regard. Spags defenses always play better after week 8 or 9, especially the secondary.
And Gay fixes a lot of issues along the DL, both vs. the run and the pass, so we'll definitely be better along the defensive front once he's back.
All of that should close the margin between the two defenses some, maybe even get close enough to mostly cancel their significant advantage right now.
