I can imagine finding an up and coming DC is tough. You know the guys on your team but they've been operating uber the same scheme. Position coaches likely don't have experience. Guys that are not currently employed, well there's probably a reason. Do you look for a scheme you want to run them interview assistants in that system?

Stupid penalty or not if you are gonna continue with this outdated scheme you might as well bring Ford back another year on the franchise tag.

Draft or sign playmakers...don't care if it's at a position of need or not, we woefully lack players that can make gaming changing plays on that side of the ball.
Also whoever they bring in *IF* Sutton is jettisoned, and I'm skeptical Reid will do it, needs to run an aggressive downhill scheme that is about attacking. |

Find a DC that can innovate. Since the NFL has morphed into an offensive 'pass happy' league, you need to think outside the box and bring in somebody with fresh ideas that will explore strange new concepts, seek out new schemes and and new combinations. To boldly coach where no coach has coached before...

we don't even need to be a 'top' defense. that's the frustrating thing .
With the offense, even if we're in the 15 to 20 range and can reduce our defensive penalties by 1/2, we would be wrecking souls.

Well, I want Ben Bloom, LB coach of the Cowboys for DC. Hitchens previous position coach who had him playing well. Has experience in 3-4 and 4-3 fronts, previously was a pass rush coaching specialist. Has coached multiple position groups and is overshadowed a bit by Richards.
Switch to 4-3. (although you'll be in nickel mostly of course, as the rest of the league). Even front protects LB'ers a bit more. Hitchens, O'Daniel is your coverbacker, and FA/Draftee/Niemann(?)and Ragland in short yardage only. Speaks to LDE, play at a beefy/ fit 280. Kpass backs up at DE. Jones and Nnadi start at DT, Williams backs up. Houston plays RDE. (bull rush is mostly all he's got left anyway.) We lose some sack totals but would be better against the run with the added bulk up front. Let Bailey walk. cut Sorensen. Let Nelson, Scandrick, Murray all walk. Sign a 2nd tier CB to man Nelson's spot and compete with Tremon Smith, who still has a lot of upside and excellent speed. Ward, Fuller are decent talent. Berry for surgery at 8am this morning. sign a vet S; would love Landon Collins on a long term deal. Earl Thomas probably would be cheaper on a shorter deal. When/if Berry plays GREAT. Not banking on it. Watts/Lucas plus FA vet will be decent. Tag and trade Ford for a 2nd or 3rd, whichever. he's too one dimensional and is a liability in the run game. Sacks are like INT's; it's the money stat but doesn't take the whole game into account. Use the money for a S, or CB. with first 4 picks and whatever we get for Ford in the tag-n-trade (rds 1-3 we have a 1, 2 2nds, and a 3rd) draft best defensive player on the board. No reaches, no projects. We need help at all three levels. After draft, look for cheap FA's and June cuts to fill spots. Mid rounds I draft OL. |

End the bend but don't break strategy that gives up long 10+ drives.
Even if that strategy technically achieves its goal, in terms of keeping the opposing offense out of the end zone, it is ultimately failing the Chiefs by keeping Mahomes iced on the sideline. |
