We still don't play a 3rd down where Niemann and Sorenson aren't both on the field. Ironically he wouldn't have a job if it weren't for Reids loyalty problems.

Popular Post azchief21 5,278 Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was pretty harsh on Spags when were #31 D and giving up a bunch of points. I'm glad Spags put aside his pride, logged into this forum, read my posts, took my words to heart and turned this thing around.

Our improved pass rush has transformed this defense but those 2 are still on the field in dime. And Spags wouldn't have gotten the job here as DC if it wasn't for his ties to Reid. Not like he has churned out a bunch of top ranked units. Im grateful as hell for the defensive turnaround but what part about this is funny or incorrect? I'm sure I could find some quotes of yours about Brett Veach that were pretty colorful too if I wanted to scroll back through months worth of posts. Veach looks pretty good at his job today.

reesebobby 5,663 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Ima say that I have not had this much confidence in a DC since early Gunther before he started being not good. God rest his soul. Before that Bill Cowher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Luv, I'm right there wit ya man! Spags was SUCKING AZZ earlier in the year: CJ95 at DE was a disaster, Jaren Reed and Frank Clark had some sorta money laundering scheme going on. Dan Nieman and Ben Sorenson was on the field waaaaaaaaaaay too much Thornhill was not on the field. Guys were confused and there were busted coverages all over the place. I was calling out Spags also. Anyone who wants to say they weren't concerned or angry about the performance of the defense for the first 6 wks, is crazy.

qnet 1,150 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I'm starting to believe that it's not all on the coaches. I think the players really have to be motivated and buy into what they're being taught. Early in the season teams played the Chiefs hard, like it was their SB. The Chiefs have got some confidence and are now matching the intensity of these other teams. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember Spags was being bounced around as the new Chiefs DC in 2018 but only Reid's loyalty to Sutton stood in the way. So ifyou want to cry about Reids loyality in that regards ..have at it. To argue the only reason Spags has a DC job is because of Reid is lunacy and really not worth my time to counter. If you want to search somewhere I even uttered the thought about Spags being no good have at it. What I have mentioned is that maybe some Assistant Coordinators might need to be sacrificed and that might of been a knee jerk reaction on my part.

oldtimer 8,686 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 matter of fact I will go soo far as to speculate that Spags year off was by plan to study the Chiefs defensive players and devise a plan. After all who knew that Patrick would have a MVP Season and the Chiefs would come within 1 stupid defensive play of going to the SB.

That's not worth your time, but going back to find stuff I posted in October is worth your time? Spend your time however you want. And I never said he wouldn't have another job. I said he got this one because of Reid and his loyalty. Which is true. You can interpret that as me saying he didn't deserve the job if you want. But he was out of football and then hired here. So he WAS unemployed. I'm not saying anything that's not true. Why don't you go back and really dig up some old posts. Find some posts around when Spags was hired here. I bet you'd find that I was one of the posters who was really excited about him. And I bet you'd find that the reason was because he was groomed under Jimmy Johnson and he attacks. The anti Sutton. Same thing you talked about earlier. So you go around a cherry pick threads all you want buddy. If our defense would have continued on the path it was on, I'd absolutely have been of the opinion Spags needed replaced. Nobody is crying about Reids loyalty. You found a post that was 7 weeks old and that's what we're talking about. So maybe me calling him overly loyal was knee jerk too. Big deal. We are dominating. Let's enjoy it. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind that he has had intestinal illness and injuries on and off for the last couple of years. The important thing was that he suddenly became a terrible player, and Veach was at fault. Now, he is suddenly a dynamite player. Hey, I'm just as fickle as anyone else. I like to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgar 1,046 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 That DLine when healthy is flat out nasty.. Clark, Reed, Jones, Ingram.. There all problems.. Now there stunting, picking up people and running them into quarterbacks.. and its hard.. Cuz you cant double team all four of em. Not knowing.. we got some blitzing linebackers and safeties as well. The Defense wasnt healthy.. it is now. and well over the past 5 games, its put together a streak of performances that That are hard to argue with, even in KC where we have the defense of the 90s, and the early 70s defenses to brag about.. . Also.. The interior offensive line is .. well... I dont know what to say.. but man I havent seen this, since the Shields Weigman, Water days.. on any team. In short.. I think this team compares favorably with any team KC has ever fielded. AFCWEST, West and DieHard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
