May have been a communication problem or something that will change by the season if they play Lee more but on the first touchdown, brieda goes to line up outside and Raggland is on him. Ragland let him go as if he had help. That is the stuff that looked like Sutton but can be cleaned up or teams are going to expose that.
This isn’t on Spaggs yet but the concerning thing is Ward in Man on 3rd and Long. He doesn’t want to get beat (had no help on the play as we blitz) so he gives to much room. He is never close on out routes. As a D coordinator now that it’s obvious, the calls on third and long need to plan for that, at least until MO is able to play. I don’t care about it right now but if I see mistakes like those two in the season I’m going to be concerned about Spaggs. He has several times he needs to know what he has to work with it and he will call the D off that. Sucks he will have to dial back what he would like to do but it’s the right move. I have hope that by mid season everyone is in better sync and guys are playing well enough that he can get more aggressive but I except the D won’t be what we hoped, at least early on. |

I don’t see that happening at all. Definitely not clowney. A CB is possible but who? A waiver guy or the guys like Ward you trade a late pick are no better than what we have. Chiefs only have one pick in rounds 1-5 so you would need to give a pick for a player that another team thinks they don’t need which is unlikely at this point. I think they are hoping Breeland can stay healthy and they feel okay about him and Mo.

Without Honey Badger out there to help the rest of the secondary, I was pretty damn impressed with how well the defense played, actually.
Remember, this whole defense is brand new. Tons of new players. New scheme. New techniques. They will make mistakes and have communication errors early in the season...but as the season progresses and the guys learn the scheme and build chemistry with one another, this defense has a chance to be very very good the second half of the year. Possibly dominant. |

Can you just stop making reactionary threads after games? |

Our starting 11 handled business against the run. The rest not so much
But it's encouraging. One thing I am certain is that they will get better. Sutton never made them better during the season Spags will. |

I watched 2 plays with Henne at QB and changed the tv. There was no point after that. Even on Defense, it was alot of back ups. No fun for me in that.

I'll start worrying after the JAX game. But even then if I see progress and fixable mistakes I'll try to hold judgement.
I think mid-season - also after 4 weeks of Claiborne - is a fair time to judge if our D has really improved or not. |
