Our defense has some flaws like the rest of the NFL. I think MLB will work its self out, Hodges is still out there too. The dline isn't as thin as most would think and Houston is another year removed from surgery.

DJ and Tamba are the only old guys on the entire team. Now that QB has been addressed, there will be plenty of opportunities to address those types of need down the road. Finding an ILB is a hell of a lot easier than a franchise QB.

You don't see an historically bad defense. This defense's second team is ALL more talented than the 2002 Chiefs defense, and Bob Sutton is an infinitely better DC than Greg Robinson. So no, you don't ****ing see the return of the Vermeil defenses. |

An R-Kal Truluck reference. There's a blast from the past.

The last time our defense touched the field we held the Steelers to 18 points despite having 4 of our starting front 7 on IR, and this guy thinks we're headed to the Vermeil days?

Our 2014 defense wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't terrible. And that had Josh Mauga at the Will when DJ went down early in the season. DJ will be tough to replace, but it's not impossible. Hell, I still think the young guys we've got on the team have a ton of potential in terms of speed, recognition, and coverage abilities. Remember when we had to sign Vance Walker because Allen Bailey was such a piece of shit? Oh, wait... turns out he actually is a starter-level DE. Jaye Howard? Yeah, cute that he had a nice Week 17 game against San Diego in 2013... oh, wait, he's actually doing rather well. We're not the ****ing Vermeil Chiefs just because we didn't draft Reuben Foster. Christ. |

It's one thing to lose one player in your front 7. But in the Chiefs case, where they often were playing without 3-4 of the normal starters, you are not going to overcome that. |

I think the talking heads are throwing around that "Mahomes will sit for 2 years" stuff simply because they see Alex has two years left on his contract. They have no actual idea how long it will take and what Andy's timeline is for Mahomes' development. Typical lazy reporting when it comes to the Chiefs.
