what I do care about, is that he was the very embodiment of what an NFL defense was supposed to be about; toughness, aggression, and absolutely refusing to quit. Gun took pride in beating the shit out of our opponents and that is something we desperately need to get back. I can think of no greater tribute or honor than for the Kansas City Chiefs defense to come out swinging in 2019, and tearing the heads off of our opponents from start to finish. That would be acceptable.
RIP.

My favorite was after we lost the No-Punt game to the Colts in the playoffs they re-hired Gun. I believe his quote was "the sonofabitch will punt this time" or something very close. We physically beat their ass when we played them the following season...
