I'd like to see them load up on versatility on the line. I think ultimately that may be the thinking with Speaks and it certainly is with Jones. I like the idea of Spags running a 4-man front with all DE's like he did with the Giants. Stunts, blitzes, just mixing up everything and going crazy.

It had 3 super ass talented individual rushers. But they won solely with talent for the most part. They weren't schemed into sacks very often. That's awesome to have as it's hard to defend, but as we saw with NE, it is possible when you pretty much know where guys are coming from. You can chip and double guys. When they're stunting and moving guys around you can't. |

I think that was Bobs issue. When his defense could line up and play they were really good, like against INDY.
When they needed to be schematic and versatile, they just couldn't adapt. |

If I were going to pay big money to an outside free agent (I would hardly ever do that, it's so damn hard to determine fit and such) this year, it would be Clowney. If he hit the market.
I'd put him on the DL with Jones, Nnadi, and the rest of those athletes and just tell them to go tackle people. |

If they trade Ford, a cheaper vet option for the LEO could be Bruce Irvin. He played there in Seattle and Atlanta (was out of position in Oakland, iirc). He's on the wrong side of 30 so isn't the future but he could hold the fort down in that position while the Chiefs got a rookie up to speed and then provide backup. It sounds like he may go back to Seattle but, if he wants a chance at another ring, he might consider KC.

The stupidity is just mind-boggling. Reid should have fired him during the game. |

I know this is an oversimplification, but doesn't the over scheme limit the critical importance of the wide 9 DE from stopping the run? Seems like the goal is to put him on the weak side away from the extra blockers, and make his main responsibility exploding off the line.

I'm pretty sure that the Chiefs defense gave up a ton of yards in 2016 WITH Poe. The difference is that they led the league in TOs if I recall correctly. |
