So, Spagnuolo inherited a poor defense in 07 and immediately made it good. And it continued to be good the next season. Then, he inherited a poor defense in NO and turned it into the worst D in the league with a bullet. Next, he inherits a bad NYG defense and again turns it into the worst in the league. But the following year he got it into the top 10. Then back down to 31.

What does this all mean?

Is he a good defensive mind who had terrible personnel at times? Or is a mediocre coach who needs great players to produce?

Don't expect a good defense but I expect a defense that at least can stop a couple 3rd and longs from being converted throughout a game.

That's how low the bar is set right now. Stop one 3rd and long conversion and the Chiefs win.

So you think we need a top 10 defense to win it all? Wasn't the point if having a franchise QB that we don't need to be perfect in all the other areas of the team?

Name a better team than the chiefs if we have a 16th ranked defense instead of the 31st.

Like I said, yea they should be good come playoff time, but I don’t expect it right away.
I would imagine they’re going to pour a lot of resources into the d

If they do that I expect it to be good

It means talent >>>> coaching

But at least we know if we give him talent, he will get the most out of it.

To me, it's been the same sh*t the last three years. Not historically bad, but bad. Only difference is they got more turnovers in 2016, and last year they were on the field more due to a quick-score offense.

They were historically bad in first downs surrendered per game.

If they go out and get somebody like PP, Thomas, or Ramsey along with the draft being mostly D like we expect then yes I expect them to be good.

I’m not sure we get an elite secondary player though.

I think they will. I’m not sure who but I’m guessing they go after someone.

I’ll say Earl Thomas will be high on their list.

I love Ramsey but I just don’t know what it will take

They're going to use virtually the entire draft on D and likely sign a few free agents. If they make the right moves, it could absolutely be good next year. Hell, I think it could be pretty good just by putting it in the hands of someone who knows how to adjust and get the most out of the talent.

Not sure if Spaggy is that guy.

Well, again, stats like that have a lot to do with having an offense that consistently scores quickly.

It's not common to have an electric offense and a statistically great defense.

I think that the mentality of average is good enough is a losing mentality. We better try and build the best D we can and hope it's good enough to make the big stops at the big moments.

Absolutely. Shooting for 'just good enough' leaves you open to something going wrong ruining your season. During a football season, something will go wrong so you need to be better than average to cover for it.
