The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

Out of last years FA corners Veach liked Fuller. Do you really wish he would’ve settled for Trumaine Johnson or Malcolm Butler?
Good for him. When you end up with fucking trash like Amerson, Scandrick, and Parker with starting roles in your secondary you have completely screwed the pooch somewhere along the way. [Reply]

And if he signed one of those guys our defense would’ve still sucked but we wouldn’t have had Watkins.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and Veach clearly didn’t approach last season like he was going all in. You can’t rebuild a defense in one offseason, so instead of pretending he could, Veach stayed patient and that approach got him a possible starting caliber corner in Ward. [Reply]

And the Chiefs are probably not above absorbing a 1 yr contract if it means getting a better trade, but I doubt it will come to that.
Please do not compare a QB to a player who doesn’t fit a teams scheme anymore [Reply]

He also liked David Amerson... first. Signed him as soon as he was cut by the Raiders in February. Then he liked Fuller, then nobody on Day 1 of the draft. Then realized his first love Amerson was a huge mistake a ran and got Scandrick and traded for Ward

So his CB haul last year was:
Amerson
Fuller
Tremon Smith
Scandrick
Ward
What grade does that get?
Who should he have signed\traded for\drafted? [Reply]

What should he have done? Who should he have added?
Fuller is a damn good NB and Ward looks like he could be a good starter. It wasn’t nearly as bad as you’re making it out to be.
Also, who the fuck really cares that he signed Amerson? The guy didn’t play a fucking meaningful down for us. Get over it. [Reply]
