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.
Doesn't the thought of next year, with the group more experienced in the system together, plus maybe another FA and another high draft pick just make you salivate? [Reply]

if veach hits on two linebackers.....look the FUCK out
The defense has been much better the last 3 games, but the opposing teams have had a lot of near misses that had nothing to do with our defense.
Is it just me, or do our outside corners seem to never turn their heads to locate the ball when they are running down field with a receiver? It seems like we are often right with the receiver, but we never look back to try and locate the ball, which results in too many DPI penalties.
I remember watching Albert Lewis, Kevin Ross, Dale Carter, James Hasty, etc. play CB, and in my memories they would turn their heads so they could make a play on the ball.
I also remembered William Bartee and his inability to turn his head, and getting burnt like toast game after game.
Does this coaching staff teach the DBs to focus on the receiver, instead of playing the ball?

well, you're right of course.
But, to be fair, some of that is the change in PI rules. Those guys could run into receivers and it wasn't a penalty, it was 'incidental contact'...and they'd do it on purpose sometimes and claim it was an accident to disrupt the play.
You get called on that now, so you kind of have to keep your eyes on the reciever when you're in man until the last second and then try to locate the ball.
It's tougher to play CB in this NFL than those guys' version.
Still, yeah, definitely room for improvement although they're all better than Steven Nelson. :-) [Reply]
Guys are buying in to Spags and finally understand where they need to be especially at LB. They look like a totally new group these days. Sutton never got them to play better as the year went on. Spags has done that. [Reply]

now we get picks because a corner is out of position and looks up cause he knows he's beat and the ball unexpectedly lands in his hands. [Reply]
New story. The Chiefs’ defensive stars reveled in boasting about beating Tom Brady. In the unit’s biggest statement yet, Chris Jones made quite the declaration.
