Mort says it's NOT the scheme....
...it's the talent of the players...and poor tackling that is the problem on the Chiefs D. Check out today's Mort chat on ESPN for link. There you have it. I trust Mort more than a lot of football analysts...although most of us knew that already. Let's face it...time for Carl to draft a stud d player...not a tweener, project, or reach anymore.

Tackling is the biggest problem, there were many times they had Foster stopped at the line and then he broke tackles to gain 8 yards, wrap up you morons!

Scheme is working great, we got in the backfield all day against Carolina, just didn't wrap up and make the tackle. We do that and our defense would improve my leaps and bounds.

Were we not sold the bill of goods on Barber. He was a top flight LB in the NFL? That Mcleon was good enough. We didn't need to draft a corner. We needed a project DT worse.

It's neither scheme nor talent. It's a lack of execution.

How many actually thought that the talent level was there to be a top tier D?
I didn't. My problem with Spinner's scheme was that his passive approach allowed teams to get back into games after the Chiefs O scored some points. I want to see Gun's scheme in action when the Chiefs get some points and have a lead. Gun will attack and force some mistakes. Clearly the talent level has to be improved, but I thought Gun's attacking style, combined with a high octane O would be able to mask some of the talent deficiencies on D. So far we haven't had an opportunity to see that.

But it could also be that he can't just ignore the run while the teams are still in the game, so he can't attack the QB. If teams have to play catch up, then the QB would get less time in the pocket, and the DBs that can't cover (Dexter) wouldn't be forced to try and maintain coverage for as long.

imo he needs to stop his linebackers from charging at the snap of the ball. i think this is by design it's part of the reason the linebackers overcommit and get caught out of position. the linebackers also line up too far inside ... allowing teams to use a counter-step inside ... then catch the corner on running play with consistancy.
