MisChief-Maker 135 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Obviously a new DC is a no brainer, but i'm just wondering as far as personel wise, what seperates our D from the likes of the Ravens for example? The Ravens don't really have much "big names" on defense and yet as a collective they are so impressive. I personally think our front four is the best in the league and in Berry we have a proven star (when healthy) and a proven stud in the slot in Kendall Fuller. So imo, we are pretty much two decent corners, a competent safety and a sideline to sifeline ILB away from having a top defense. But can this be addressed in one offseason? I see no reason why it shouldn't be tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 781 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I personally think eric berry needs to play inside linebacker and bring in at least one new corner and safety as a realistic plan. i have hopes armani watts can play and i think berry, odaniel, and a rotational run thumper would be a prototypical modern day ideal linebacker core with undersized linebackers like this we would need to replace allen bailey with more of a fatty nose tackle type player.

Handswarmer 645 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Replace your entire defensive staff, linebackers and secondary ....other than that, not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NChiefsCorner 496 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 We need players that hustle on every play and don't quit, see Mahomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,121 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I agree with OP. Adding two competent DBs, and sliding Fuller to slot will help. Adding a rangy FS with ball skills to pair with Berry and a speedy side line to sideline ILB to pair with Hitchens and this D will be way better. Not elite but at least middle of the pack which is all it needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,613 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Add Swearinger if we can and see how he does. Extend him with a clause about behavior etc. Need to draft a db and get one in FA. Draft a DL as it is deep this year. ILB I would go with a proven guy and move Hitchens to Raglands spot and keep Ragland as depth. Not a lot but we have the draft and cap to do this all easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough, right? They have a good pass-rush, that will be elite if they don't have a sack of dicks playing in the secondary. Telling werthers to hit the fucking road is a good start, but they need to find a new set of corners. Find some dudes that can play corner without molesting receivers and a fatty that can disrupt in the 0 and the entire Defense will look much better.

jetlord 10,210 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Add a FA corner, draft a corner and safety. Draft an ILB, Draft a DT. Hire someone who can coach them up and implant a scheme that they can play. There's probably more there than can be done in one year and Houston, Berry, and Ford aren't going to be here long term. But next spring's draft class is loaded with D linemen, about four CBs who should be starters, and a couple of safeties. The Chiefs will get three of the first 64.

Troyofoc 361 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Corners,safety,mlb, and replace bailey. Replacing Bob is without question the first move. Since Andy said he wanted to give the young corners playing time last game to see what they got. Why didn't he get watts and lucas opposite berry instead of Shity Dan. After he made parker inactive for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handswarmer 645 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Honestly think you should all stop hoping on Berry...even next year. His leadership is invaluable but his health makes him a liability and a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His leadership is invaluable but his health makes him a liability and a roster spot. CAP situation shows a guy minus another injury this season that will be back next year. And fact is his play on the field even after being off for 19 months is still WAY above average and would likely really improve with time. The last time people wrote him off he came back and was the best safety in the NFL. No reason in our current situation with him playing that we can't hope.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Really important again to realize with our offensive guys back next year and adding a year of seasoning to Mahomes, we DO NOT need a good defense to be clear favorites in the AFC. We just need a defense thats not a complete liability vs the run and can still get after the QB like this years group plus one more legit corner. It's not that hard by the way to be decent vs the run. Finding pass rushers is much harder and weve already got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for the next injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
