Top 5 one year, in the teens the next, top 5 the next year, and so on. Plus, he always tinkered with DT's position. Out coached himself with one of the greatest defenders we ever had. Gun contained him more than the opponents did at times.

I just don't have faith in him. I really think for our defense to be good this season, Herm is going to have to call the shots.


On a related note, while watching the NFL Draft on ESPN, the gang reported many times that they have seen Pop Warner teams that could tackle better than the Chiefs defense did last season. To me, that goes right on Gun. DV to an extent, but definately on Gun.

the coaches cant tackle the players themselves, the players have to do it
