New DC not fixing this

.@chiefs when you get “angle blocked” you can’t stay blocked. You have either feel it and play over the top or you have to spin to escape. But you CANNOT stay blocked. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/1XNlxBzPw2

Agreed. Way too much money tied up in players that are either unproductive, broke dicks, or one-dimensional. You could 6 or 7 pretty good players for what they’re making.

6 or 7 difference makers for sure.

Time to take out the trash.

Like who exactly?

So then why aren't they understanding fundamentals?

That's coaching.

Agreed. There has to be a lack of emphasis on it. There is no way players are this soft and give up that easily. Maybe Im wrong?

That's on their position coaches...

Defensive coordinators at the NFL level don't teach fundamentals.

But these guys are soft. That's on the Head Coach who, btw, brought his own defensive position coach, his son, DL coach Britt Reid.

So...it's all on the guy in charge of the coaching staff, Andy Reid, the Head Coach.

Sutton is not, and never has been, 'the' problem.

I completely disagree and so do most people who are paid to comment on such matters.

Our DL is the least of our problems on defense. Nnadi looks like he improved quite a bit and will become a legit NG. Chris Jones has developed into a great DT/DE and probably a top 2 pass rushing DL. So I don't think it's fair to pile on Britt Reid at this point.

DL is one of the few areas this D looked good...

I said this defense, and TEAM, is a reflection of their head coach. They're not physically imposing. Fast, absolutely. But we don't get some physical and mental toughness, we'll always fall victim to those types of teams. The Ravens took us to the woodshed, we were lucky Mahomes was able to pull that one out. Arizona's defense gave us fits.

I'm going to dispute this a bit, Mr. Haglund's_Spirit.

Mahomes is tough. Kelce loves contact. Both he and Tyreek don't back down and are fearless. Everything above Watkins' cankles is tough. Ware is a badass and so is Sherman. I could mention others including Dr. Mauler and Wylie.

Defensively, I don't think a rational person could argue that Houston isn't physically and mentally tough. Or Berry. I'd probably include Fuller in that list.

After that, it seems to drop off (in my mind).

I see a lot of posters trying to narrow our problems down to 1 (one) thing. Some say it's coaching. Others say it's talent. I fear our limitations may well be caused a combination of several things.

I think this is what you get when you don’t “emphasize” stopping the run. Guys play around blockers vs thru
