Likely to be the finalized staff...

He's not

He is bringing his "No Turd Left Behind" program to KC and he will rid us of all the Scooter shitters that have plagued this team the last 4 years. Our good talent prior to the Scooter era will be vindicated and their last remaining prime years wont be wasted under Andy. I have confidence in Reid

so very soon

Again, players like Powe and Lewis will be here next year because they are DEPTH. You can't overhaul a team in one offseason with stud depth players.

Considering what teams like the 2-12 Colts had before last season, we're in very good shape. It's not going to take long to either see those mediocre guys flourish as backups or see them replaced with better personnel.

In the meantime, it's stupid to say "the defense has four good players and nobody."

Solid argument now, but I will refrain until FA, the draft and who is re-signed.

that will tell the bigger picture of the roster turnover

This.

With some smart moves, re signing some of our own free agents, we have some money to throw around and make some serious moves.

Like I said, not every player can be a world beater, and some will have to be in development. That's just the way it is. Lewis showed a Ton of promise before this season where it seemed as though he fell off. I believe with proper coaching he, and some others can get back on track.

[O.city]

DJ, who were you wanting to come in as the HC? I'm sure it's here somewhere but I don't really feel like looking around.

[BradBigglestein]

Tommy Brasher is a good coach. I think you'll like him. Gets a lot out of his DL players.

[RealSNR]

Holy God am I glad we stayed the **** away from Gruden.

Talks like Herm, thinks like Daboll, coaches like Haley.

No. Thank. You.

[O.city]

I actually like the staff, mix of up and comers and retreads.

[Mother****erJones]

Anyone hear whats going on with our GM search?

[beach tribe]

Call me crazy, but I also still think there is hope for Arenas and some others. As I was saying before, I'm talking about roster spots. Even if as the 4th CB, I think he has a spot on this team.

I agree. I like Arenas

Arenas is like Flowers in this regard: When they get burnt, it doesn't look like they get burnt.

Carr was a whipping boy around here because when he got beat, he was out of position and it looked like he was getting smoked. Flowers, OTOH, would get beat when a bigger, faster guy would just flat take the ball away from him.

In the end, beat is beat. Flowers didn't get beat appreciably more often than Carr, but folks were harder on Carr because Flowers didn't look as bad in getting burned.

Arenas is the same way. He often looks like he's where he's supposed to be, but he's just a hair too slow or too small so the ball gets caught. He looks like he had 'decent coverage', but in the end his physical limitations are just too much for him to be very good (because he's nowhere near as skilled as Flowers).

It's why he doesn't look awful on tape, but PFF just destroys him and his catch rates are so poor.

Close doesn't count in this league. Beat is beat and Arenas gets beat as often as anyone in the game. If you can improve on him as your nickle you should, let alone as your starter. He's an easily replaceable player, IMO.

The especially maddening thing about the Pioli regime is that they didn't learn their ****ing lesson. They drafted the SAME CBs with the same lack of speed and physical talent.

Menzie is as slow as Arenas is as slow as Jalil Brown. They just come in different size packages. And coincidentally, we have asked them all to play a bit of nickel at some point in their careers as Chiefs. Menzie didn't get much of a chance, but he WAS drafted to be a physical bump-and-run slot corner in addition to playing backup safety.
