The Defense was going to take a step back.
Well, this is that step back. I think all you can do is hope it's not too much of a weakness. If it is, then yeah, maybe hope you can make a deal. |

Outside of last year how often has KC had a truly elite secondary in the Mahomes era?

Mcduffie, Watson and Williams are plenty good enough

I think if it were something they were really worried about as opposed to just trying to get better at the back end of the group if they see someone they like more, Veach would've traded for those CBs (guaranteeing they get them, like they did with Cam Thomas) instead of trying to grab them off the waiver wire when they're last in the pecking order. If it were about trying to get better at CB2, they'd probably go get a vet CB. I also doubt they thought they'd get all three CBs they put in waiver claims for, so maybe that was an approach to see if they could get one of them, and they did.

Now that he's gone, people here think he's was the 2nd coming of Ronnie Lott. The simple answer is score more points than the other team. |

We're going to be worse in the secondary and it could be more than I originally thought. I think it'll be a reasonable step back that's offset by the offense.

This team feels exactly like the 2019 team with a better pass rush

People really overlook how much we have 3 safeties on the field. It's one thing to doubt the CB depth, but Reid/Cook/Conner/Hicks is VERY nice.

Since Chamarri Conner is going to probably be playing slot corner full-time, it makes our depth look worse than it really is since he’s technically a safety. Josh Williams showed more than enough at the end of last year to convince me he can be a full time #2 on the outside.
We’ve seen flashes from Watson as well. Depth is definitely a concern, but how many teams really have 4-5 good corners? It just really doesn’t happen, last year was an anomaly for this team to be so insanely loaded at the position. I still expect a top 10 defense, which is more than enough considering what the offenses potential is this year. We’ll be fine. |

If the offense is better than last year and can start games punching the other team in the mouth, we could see some better statistical defensive performances than last year of oppositions are forced to be 1 dimensional pass-from-behind

What the 2023 crew brought with McDuffie and Sneed on the outside was a shitload of flexibility. If McDuffie/whoever takes some stuff off the table, I can see why Spags can be fussy, because after you've driven a Bentley, it's hard to get back into a Taurus. But I'm confident Spags with a Taurus can get the job done. Quote:
The underrated part of what Spags brings to the table is scheming to avoid getting raped. Drawing up and executing awesome blitzes on big downs is great, but he does a great job of understanding his group and what he can get away with and where he needs to protect. Dude is one hell of a coordinator. But for what stands out to me is not what he'll be remembered for. Sutton could draw up some neat shit, but he also had dudes demolishing us down the field or god ****ing Brady throwing to Edelman on 3rd and 8 with a 10 yard cushion all ****ing game long. (FUUUUUUUCK). Spags is known for the leverage plays, but I'm going to remember him for the whole package, and getting us in position for leverage. I think where Spags wants to improve is trying to prevent having to cover for a dude. Nice call on Gilmore. **** all things Brother****ing Cheatriot ****bag, but the dude can play. |
