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.

But that can't be where your pressure comes from.
How the hell did we get here guys? How did they ever think this front 4 was good enough? I'll never understand.
Well I mean we almost beat him with the blitz, it took remarkable plays against a rookie 4th round CB along with a little help from the refs to lose.
The OL and our tackles are the most to blame along with Mahomes making a couple bad decisions (he most likely wont repeat very often) for this loss IMO, to be bitching about the defense is asinine. [Reply]

It's not just this game. You can't be successful against elite QB's with the blitz consistently. The numbers bear it out. [Reply]

That's not what I said....but every year you come to the same conclusion. Trade away our first round pick. At some point....you need cost controlled talent. Yes, that means that you have to scout it correctly and pick good players. [Reply]

So, just draft good players. It's worked great for the Packers, we should do it. [Reply]

I’m thinking next game vs the Bills you sit in cover 2. Pretty much what defenses did to us last year. Make them be patient and clamp down in the red zone.
Have McDuffie and Sneed on Diggs/Davis and blitz 6 while having one safety help on one of Diggs/Davis. [Reply]
I've said it a dozen times at least: This team is not yet what it will be in December and January.
The increase in team speed on defense is startling. They're YOUNG, and inexperienced, and that will show up sometimes. I think it's worth the risk. And they'll get better every week, along with getting key guys back, like Gay and McDuffie.
As for the DL-yeah. I expected Veach to go hard THERE in the draft more than the secondary, but I suppose value and staying true to their board won out. Furious George will continue to improve, and Dunlap's been...underwhelming so far. Clark is same old Clark, unfortunately.
I dunno. But I'd about bet the house this ends up being a top 16 defense by the end of the season, even with the front four issues. [Reply]
Overspent on Clark.
Probably should have kept Ogbah and Ingram.
Kaindoh was a completely blown draft pick.
Danna is injured.
Outside of week 1, Karlaftis has been meh.
Best we can hope for is Danna returns and is effective, Clark can string together 1, or heaven forbid 2, good quarters per game and Karlaftis plays like week 1 for the rest of the season. [Reply]
