Mort says it's NOT the scheme....

[milkman]

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.

imo we haven't seen gun's attacking defense in action is because he found out, just like Greg Rob/inson found out, that our secondary isn't good enough to cover behind a blitz.

Could be.

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.

yea...


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.

The “high ocatane O” has been conspicuously absent.

And the D is having to defend more than usual, good point.
