What was the difference in the defense today/tonight?

[TLO]

Let's talk about it.

Nobody is beating the Chiefs if they play like they did today.

Wonder if Harris/Smith were still calling the plays.

I’m leaning towards this. They were pretty aggressive at times, attacking the RB instead of waiting and tackled the Colts RB’s behind the line of scrimmage a few times. Which helped a lot. Ward and Lucas look to be playing better in the secondary also.

This. And, have they stripped it down to no frills defense? We know Sutton was trying to be the equivalent of Reid defensively with his scheme and that guys were getting lost and not competing. Is it possible they've trimmed the fat and have turned the focus to "less tricky, less flash, just get the stop"?
They've obviously had better outings over the last 2 games, so it would stand to reason that more has been done other than just changing up play calling duties.

We were tackling in the backfield lots of penetration


Penetration was always a favorite word of Lenny on the radio.


Penetration


We penetrated Andrew Lucks vagina

Hey boo, it's as simple as Lucas and Ward being faster than Parker and Scabdick.

The 4 man front is helping, too - one play vs the Colts yesterday had Houston and Ford lined up down and on the same side, and they destroyed the Oline and Andrew Suck. They lined up Speaks with his hand on the ground up front, they found match ups and exploited them.
The 4 man front allows the LBs to flow to the ball better.

The future is now.

The second half D vs the raiders felt like a whole new defense. I buy the idea that Mike Smith and Al Harris are more involved. Playing less tentative. Better matchup defense. Sure luck sucking helped but we don't need a defense turnaround. We just need them to not suck.

Whatever they're doing, it's working.

Yeah. It was worth burning the Seattle game to get the kids ready and get the D righted.
