How (and why) the Chiefs Defense has improved

Super informative video. Basically switching up to the split safety coverage to keep a top on the offense and allows for a bunch of other coverage defenses. Pre this year we have blitzed 35% of the time. This year dropped to 24%, much more emphasis on the D Line getting home and clogging up all the pass lanes with extra pass defender. Which takes the extra defender away from the line so even more emphasis on the D line all taking up 2 gaps to allow linebackers to free access to the runner - as well as having big DB's who run support well.

Really good video. Not only Spags adjusting the the defense during the season. But the addition of Cullen as DL coach has helped a ton. Also Daly seems to be better coaching the LBs, but could also have to do with certain players being gone from last year too. This was a defensive rebuilding year, starting lots of rookies, and we’re a week away from the SB. Spags doesn’t get enough credit. Sometimes I’ll admit I’m a bit hard on him as well. But the job he’s done, especially going into the second half of seasons, and playoffs is just amazing.

Also Veach finding gems all across the rounds of the draft! This is such a wild time to be a Chiefs fan. Everything we’ve been through with front office, coaching, quarterbacks. It’s like we have the perfect formula for success!

Or there's the type that looks at what they have to work with and figures out a way to make it work. What can these guys do? How can we use that?

Andy is the second type, and so is Spagnuolo.

Yeah, Spags is one of the best DCs in the league because if his constant directed evolution of his schemes, and how he's always finding how to best incorporate the players he has, as well as his ability to expand each player's capabilities.

He's the best DC the Chiefs have ever had, and we're damned lucky to have him.
