Spags ****ing sucks. Needs to be fired. Need to hire Fangio. Should run more two deep safety. Need more sacks from DE's, but also need to sign Hopkins or OBJ and Bahktiari and Taylor and Saquon. And then, why isn't the defense better?!

Last year, for the most part, we shut down bad offenses, and we at least slowed down good offenses most of the time. And teams punted in the playoffs. On a yards per play allowed basis, we were in the top 10. Far from an elite D (do they exist anymore?), but (much?) better than what we said we needed from Spags when we shitcanned Bob Sutton.

One of the best coordinators in franchise history.
The players he’s found in the draft, the coaching he’s done. So thankful for him |

2018 was a classic example of that. Sutton's defense had the highest season sack total as well as the best 3rd down conversion %. What got lost or was ignored, was that Houston and Ford became invisible against better than average OTs, I mean they fell off a cliff, and that 3rd down conversion rate was entirely dependent on their ability to sack the QB, and when teams ran, they were worse than average. NE took advantage of that because they watched the tape and analyzed how KC did defending the run on 3rd down/normal passing situations. To be clear; they outschemed Sutton, who couldn't/wouldn't adjust. Guess who else wouldn't adjust, and called about as passive a game as possible? PHI's DC Gannon. Another coach that relied far too much on metrix and not enough seeing what was actually going on. In short, people were trying to use those stats as a way to make blanket statements about the defense, effectively ignoring any other information. Bottom line, it's problematic to just look at one or two stats and then declare much of anything with any reliability. And in the time Spags has been with the Chiefs he keeps teaching us that season sack totals alone or season rush yards allowed are bogus stats. They don't tell you anything really useful about how they'll play in a certain game, or how they're trending. Stats are great if we can analyze as many relevant statlines as possible, and pretty useless when we use just the one or two we want to use. Last edited by Megatron96; 03-11-2023 at 05:03 PM.. |

It's time to give Spags his flowers. Absolutely terrific hire. Now that the Chiefs have stacked talent you are really starting to see the results. D-line will be NASTY when Charles in Charge gets back.
Chiefs run defense has become a force, too. Jaguars piled up 144 yards rushing in the playoff game last season, on only 19 attempts. Chiefs held them to 74 yards rushing today, with 26 coming on QB scrambles. Longest run by a RB was 9 yards. SPAGS |
