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.

I think Jones not being inside all the time is having a major impact.
That and his lack of experience with how to react as a DE. He really should be moving to DE on obvious passing downs because on running downs…he isn’t it.
And fucking Clark is trash. Bring back Taco or find someone else. [Reply]

If I was playing against the Chiefs I'd run the ball and run the ball and then to top it off, I'd run the ball. 4th down? Let's run the ball. Then I'd run the ball. Then when they got flustered and decided to send 10 players into the backfield on the snap, I'd play action pass it to my #2 TE who would surely be uncovered and watch him trot for an easy TD.

This. They have created two new holes on running downs by moving one player. [Reply]

We dont have the players. Hard to fear the coaching when you have zero players. Think about people pointing to bolton as the best LB we have.
Who is the best DB we have on the roster? Its absolutely crazy we have no DB's or LB's.
We have a good safety 32 , but I mean...ok... and a couple of good DLineman one of which we paid like 100 million for and should be better and not going to jail etc.
I dont think there is a coach in the league who could design a defense for zero LB's and Zero db's. [Reply]

Right there with you. Exactly what I would do until they prove they could stop it. [Reply]

Dude, no… that’s a terrible overreaction
He definitely needs to tweak the scheme to better utilize what we currently have, but right now it’s looking like we don’t have the talent to be truly dangerous no matter what he schemes up
And frankly, I believe we DO have what’s needed to at least be better than this vs the run… but the sad fact is our big men are playing like shit, the entire front seven [Reply]

I know man. Sucks to have a defense look that bad though. It Looked something like a first year rookie d-coordinator would do at the beginning of a season. Not a defense three years in the same system. Even if we had come out that game with the win it would been a dirty feeling knowing we’d get crushed in the playoffs playing like that. Hopefully they figure it out. [Reply]

This is what we are going to see until we stop it… The next few teams are more pass happy but if they are smart they will run until it doesn’t work.. [Reply]

From what I've seen so far of Jones at the DE spot I can not for the life of me understand what they saw to think he was ready to start there primarily. [Reply]
