Our linebackers are terrible and until that changes our defense will be bad

Bingo.

I don't care about looking at the statistics because the underlying truth that is the problem is that it's not just the fact that they are terrible at stopping the run. The troubling issue is that even when they know what is coming, even when they adjust the alignment, they're still getting gashed.

The defense knows what is coming & still getting abused.

Forget about looking for a CB, this team should be looking at making a trade for a legit / marquee MIKE, and maybe a solid backup OLB.

The DLine has depth already- in spite of the current injuries to rotate as needed to stay fresh, and I've always subscribed to the notion that the line plugs & maintains gap discipline, and the LBers are supposed to flow downhill, shed blocks and plug the hole to make the tackle.

Name me a single LBer on this roster that you wouldn't want to hit FA & would be willing to pony up the $$$ to make sure they're in a Chiefs' uniform?

Yeah, me neither.
