This defense has talent. It's had different levels of talent for years. The problem has been how we've used it and what we asked those guys to do. A monkey with a machine gun should take over the whole tribe, but then again, he might just use it to dig up termites...

"This" on the entire post, but I definitely agree with the bolded part. This defense has talent, it's just that a lot of it is young/raw and needs [good] coaching (I know a lot of you are ready to give up on everyone on the D except the new faces, but I think there's still a lot of potential waiting there). I don't think the defense will be great this year, but as much as Pioli & Haley want to win now, there's still work to do.
I also love the gimmicky defensive stuff. Granted, if it doesn't work, it's annoying, but I love the thought of confusing a QB/OL at the LOS. I'm excited to see the 2009 Chiefs, a lot moreso than I have been for past versions*.
*Before you kill me & say "you should always be excited!!11!1!, real fans can't wait for the season!!11!1," etc., I am always excited to see the Chiefs take the field. But I can't remember a time that I was
this giddy about seeing a Chiefs team, even if I don't expect to see the wins this season.
