ClarksvilleChief 193 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This by far has been the biggest improvement since last year. This defense played sooo much better and played with a lot more intensity down the stretch. This Defense needs as much props as the offense right now. One more guys!

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The attitudes of HB and Clark turned this team around. Houston and Berry never had the intensity and lay it all out on the line that these two have. Suggs added the additional piece for the playoffs.

Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Our defence was physical yesterday. Even Henry said that. it Sure is nice to have a defence that comes to work with a attitude. Frickin love it! Can’t wait to see how we handle SF run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that Titans game in early November it seems like every time they needed a big stop, they got it. Almost lost amid yesterday’s unbelievable win is reality this team hasn’t lost a game in over two months. The D played a huge part in that.

kkuenn 3,597 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 What is funny is the Titans and Texans both now have or will get new D coordinators. Titans guy retired and Texans let Romeo go. All the while Spags has done a very good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resign Jones, Ogbah, KPass, and Pennel. Add 1 - 2 LBs and 1 - 2 DBs. If we find a stud IOL, LB, DB, or RB it is going to make us super scary to face! Someone mentioned getting Breeland Speaks back next year at interior DL which will also be interesting. Balto, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Its funny. With the evolution of our defense over the course of the year, I just don't know what our draft priorities will be anymore. Between the players on IR and the young guys that are starting to show us what they can do It really is hard to pick out a glaring need on the defense anymore. What a great problem to have!!!

Depends what we resign. I would go LB and CB for depth and development. Get a C or G too. A 2nd TE would be nice as would a possession type receiver with height and physicality.

dhitter 1,424 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Frank Clark man! Whole lot of people jumped on him for stuff he said prior to the AFCCG. Especially about Henry. Well he backed it up! When James Palmer interviewed him after the game he looked totally gassed. He had laid it all out for his team. Dee who?

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Its pretty clear to me that Spagnuolo is just a much better coach than Sutton. The guys game plans and playcalling make it really hard on offenses. And Ive spent 3 yrs talking about how Sorenson sucked. Spags has turned him into a weapon. That's the true mark of a good coach. Sutton wanted to take players and force them to do what worked in his system in the past. Even if it didn't match their strengths at all. Spags is the opposite. We have a really tough game coming up. But if we can defend the run well again...we can win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense has become good enough to complement the high octane offense, but a lot depends on who the Chiefs can afford to resign for next season. They have to address the LB and CB situations, keep Jones, and maybe consider Ogbah and Okafor. If Thornhil can play all or most of next season, that will help and Speaks can remove a need to resign a D-lineman. The D can be better, but I don't expect it to become a top defense with all the cap limitations unless the Chiefs hit a home run in the draft.

robgar 1,046 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It is a top defense.. At least over the last 8 games or so.. they just sucked so bad the first 8 that you cant tell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,662 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I honestly believe this is a top 10 defense right now. No way would I trade with the pats defense for the super bowl if that was an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think its funny because we are always drafting for need and not for the long run. You expect your 1st and 2nd round picks to be starters game one. We actually don't have to place that expectation on them. But yes, PLEASE draft a TE! I've always wanted to see our looks with 2 solid TEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the great TIMELY plays he's made. I shit my pants when he made the fake punt stop. Seriously, never saw him play better and I'd have to attribute some of his success to Spags scheme.

Sutton has been trying to make players fit a system without bending it one bit whereas Spags seems to customize his scheme based on the talent he has. The players seem to be coached up as well, we have players like Dirty Dan playing in a way he couldn't do before and overall tackling seems to be much improved.

That's been the part of the problem the past couple years--he lacked the speed and athleticism to cover, but not quite big enough to play in the box. He just seems to move better, even watching him before the games. hankstromboli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great cover guy and not a solid tackler. This year looks like he's a contributor. Honestly I don't remember him ever making as many plays over the last couple years than he has made in these 2 playoff games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
