The Chiefs don't need an over priced FA to be better next year... (Zach's Prediction)
Ok here it goes. Most of the board will disagree with me. Some will pass me off as an idiot homer...some will say I don't know anything about football and thats fine. I expect this from Chiefsplanet. I would be dissapointed actully if I don't hear things like that and I will be dissapointed if Laz doesn't put himself on the cross in yet another thread for not being a homer but...
I believe the Chief defense will be better next year and here is why I believe that. They don't have to be that much better for this team to get to the place it wants to be. They didn't win the superbowl last year but I believe the Colts were just as good as any team in the NFL. During the game we only needed the Colts to punt once. One little punt and the offense and special teams could have put it together enough to win the game. They tore apart our defense like it was a complete joke and it was a complete joke. The Colts would line up and Manning would walk his happy ass to all those lineman and just call out plays. For some reason the defense never decided to move or audible at all. Nothing would change and we would pretty much show what we were going to do before the play. I don't care who is playing defense when you play like that you are going to get your ass kicked. Not every player that is a FA is going to be an automatic upgrade. It seems to be a very popular opinion that "anyone else would be better than what we have." I think this is foolish I think we have a great CB in Eric Warfield. Did he get beat last year? Of course he did its the damn NFL and offense is taking over. Did make a lot of great plays also? Yes. I think he did. The Chiefs will have a better defense next year if...

I disagree about our defense, it has to get a lot better...beating the Colts is one thing, beating the Patriots another
but I agree about FA, and I'm glad we haven't signed any of these overpriced FAs....the only reason I was excited about Vincent was that I thought he would be reasonably priced due to age...but it seems maybe he's looking for more our CBs are good enough if we have a real pass rush..but our DL suks baloney and Gun has a lot of work to do, I wouldn't mind a flyer on Sapp if the price is right...we'll see, still pretty earlier to worry about next year

I think the way our offense scores we only need a top 13 or so defense. Do I want it to be better? Of course. But I am looking at an NFL landscape where you really can't be that great on both sides of the ball. |

Very nice post ZachKC. I agree.
The big offseason improvement on D is the scheme. I will stick to my feeling that the coaching was largely at fault, not the players. I got what I wanted this offseason - a new defensive coach. I would have probably preferred that to keeping GRob, and signing Ray Lewis and Champ Bailey. Once the players know what it is they are supposed to be doing, and are allowed to do it, these players could look pretty good. I find myself completely unable to tell how good these players are, from what we have seen the last 3 years. When they hesitate on the pass rush, or look over their shoulders to find their "zone" instead of just tearing after the ball carrier, of course they look like crap. When Gun instils in them the "go after their heart, then take their soul" philosophy, I think we'll find we have some players. |

I agree with you Can. We shouldn't have renewed a couple of our guys contracts, we resigned them from last years starting D just to make a statement, also a couple FA's that can motivate and hold some of our guys accountable for missing tackles, coverages and busting their butts in games on the playing field would help greatly. Yes our DL is very less then stellar. The Colts among other teams sliced through our defense like butter on bread. It was embarrasing. |

A little homerish for me Zach but a nice thought out analysis.
