No, but he's completely avoiding the fact that the TED backer position
could be upgraded and is blaming Belcher's issues squarely on the lack of a true nose tackle.
As I stated earlier, Belcher clearly improved from his rookie season but he still has issues of shedding blocks, speed, quickness and instinct. We all know that guys may run slower but play faster due to their football instincts but, I haven't seen that ability in Belcher yet. Maybe he'll make another huge leap from year two to year three and it won't be an issue from a starting position standpoint.
But again, if the Chiefs can logically upgrade that position, whether it be depth or competition, it would be a mistake to pass.
