Who signed him?

Chiefs defense is so thin they signed Anna Kendrick to wear handcuffs and play nosetackle.

Chiefs' corners are so bad at coverage they recently upgraded to 3G to avoid roaming charges.

There's no overreaction, we have nobody on defense besides our declining superstars. The spags and the scheme are awful. There is no money available to fix the problem. We are paper thin on offense too. It's gonna be a lean few years or Mahomes will kill himself trying to win and that will cramp our style because of his salary. It's over. 500 million for the greatest qb ever only to Montana him, probably by age 29. He's brilliant but as good as dead.

Every week that Jones stays at DE is another week that Veach and Spags need punched in their ****ing mouths at this point. Don't know which one of these reeruns is the catalyst for this but after Jones got caught with his dick in his hand game 2 the experiment should've been over. For the love of god, get Charlton back in here so we have someone else that can at least claim they're an NFL level DE

Even when Chris Jones gets pressure at DE he's going around the defender instead of through him which just allows the QB to step up in the pocket and easily avoid him.

Rest of our dline sucks too. We get no push inside which is essential if you are going to have Chris Jones go around the offensive linemen when he is trying to get a sack at DE. It is also incredibly important when trying to stop the run.

Just unbelievable how bad this dline is w all the money spent on it.

Nailed it.

Nnadi has never been known for his pass rushing prowess so I'll give him a bit of a pass at least on that front (what he's "supposedly" good at, not so much) but Jarran Reed is an abortion. Completely ****ing worthless as an every down pass rusher and run stopper and I think this defense takes a massive step forward if you manage to land an actual NFL caliber DE and let Jones move back inside, with Nnadi and Reed rotating in and out based on situation. As for Clark, all we can do is pray to the football god's that he either returns to his usual JAG form instead of the literal worst DE in the NFL or the arraignment in October gives us an excuse to void the guarantees and cut his ass.

I don't know if we get a DE this year or next, and I'm not going to be doom and gloom about the team after 3 games...but I AM confident in saying Reed is gone next year and he's doing nothing this year. We probably need him in rotation but if Nnadi gets over whatever ****le he has then he and Saunders are better and Wharton will be of more use on obvious passing downs.

I saw Jarran Reed make that tackle yesterday and it confirmed that he does in fact play football for the Kansas City Chiefs. Because before I saw that tackle, I was starting to doubt that.

Did Thornhill get any snaps at all yesterday? I don't remember seeing him.

Thornhill played the majority of his snaps in the dime (as usual), but got a full series in the second quarter replacing Sorensen in base and nickel.

The Chiefs put Sorensen back in for the rest of the game. https://t.co/AUc0xnMfjp

Thornhill is still getting only 29% of the defensive snaps while Sorenson, who is clearly a less talented player, gets 91% of the snaps.

Damn. Great answer!

What the NFL learned over the last couple of weeks is that the Kansas City Chiefs are very beatable. This is a thread about the D, and the D has issues that can't be fixed quickly. The only thing that can change quickly (over night) are attitude and effort, so there's at least some hope there. And no, the Kansas City Chiefs are NOT going to all of a sudden be the team that get the DPI call that we saw on the last play, that's reserved for other teams/players of New York's choosing, so the players on this team better come to work with an enhanced attitude and ready to give more effort. Meanwhile the front office and coaches can do the same, in their own way. I'm sure Clark can provide the video of, and ask the question about why the officials decided to not call a DPI on the last play, and tell them all that they can answer the question in private, or he can get more creative.

But the truth is we have the speed we have, the have the muscle we have, we have the talent we have, the only thing that can change quickly are attitude and effort. Stop making excuses, taking blame that's not yours, giving credit to the other side, or any of the other stuff we're sick of hearing, just come out and, from owner to water-boy, be ready to dance with the devil in the pale moon light...
