We saw a big improvement in his secondary from 2015 to 2016 with the same roster outside of Jenkins in NY. What also changed in that time? They traded for Vernon, who was an all pro player in 2016 and had JPP available for several more games with a far higher output of pass rushing production. The SB year, the strength was mainly in the DL, not the DB core. Do you disagree with that? |

And you've gone way beyond not expecting huge improvement. You've posted negative crap about the defense in every thread you're in, all day. That is what makes you a hypocrite. Now you're freaking crying about me crying about Ford. That not only makes you a hypocrite, it makes you ridiculous. Give it up. I'll stop talking about Ford when the conversation is over. That's not up to me, that's up to everyone else here. |

Probably already been said, but Veach has said numerous times that the strength of the draft is defensive line, so maybe the "secondary first" look right now is because they aren't confident in premium secondary talent getting to them in the draft.
I like this Okafor signing. He doesn't seem flashy but they only had two DEs on the roster, they needed to at least sign one and I'd rather a solid vet guy for a reasonable price than a $20m per year gamble. I also think sometimes you can't win, the run defense was bitched about all season and this kind of move seems like it might solidify the run stopping gets bitched about because of the loss of sack potential. I do still sort of hope they take a DE in the first who has more sack potential, but this is a good move I think. |

Yeah, this seems to be overlooked on this forum. His DE's in 07 were Strahan and Osi, both of whom had 13 sacks that year. The reason they were able to beat the Patriot's was because of their ability to pressure Brady with just their front four. But now we're being told we're just gonna blitz him alot... like that has ever ****ing worked against elite qb's... Last edited by Chief_N_Bama; 03-15-2019 at 05:09 AM.. |

I think we all understand that the front 4 have to be on-point. I think we also understand that this is going to take some development and drafting as well.
I'm not gonna' freak out on ANY of this shit until we complete this FA and draft, and get our asses to camp. It's WAY too early to be calling things a success or a bust at this point. At the end of the day, we blew up the #31 defense in the league and hired a coaching trifecta that the majority of teams in this league would LOVE to have. I'm not worried one bit.

Dude, there's still a lot of cap $ and draft picks left. Why do some of you pretend like this is the final lineup?

You gonna pretend as if its easy to replace the production we've let go at a premium position, AND address the deficiencies elsewhere? It's easy to say we can draft or sign free agent to address holes, it's another thing to actually do it. Hitchens was supposed to be an upgrade last season, how did that turn out? |

Dee Ford doesn't fit in a 4-3 defense. Chiefs did the right thing. Some people are just too stupid.
