It looks as if the coaches being hired on D all excel in coaching the front7. I hated Speaks probably more than anyone on this board, hated the pick, hated his peformance even more. But hopefully he can find a purpose in a new scheme.

Speaks was just horribly out of position at 34OLB. Not fast/athletic enough to stand up and play in space. Which kind of begs the question (considering the Chiefs reached and traded up for him)...wtf brilliant idea was that? At the time nobody knew that Sutton was going to get canned and we'd move to a 43, he was drafted to make the transition. Drafting projects in the 2nd rd IMO is just ****ing stupid, especially when you didn't have a 1st rd pick and you need immediate help on D.

I just hope he finally has a home in this D, because if not, he'll go down on the list of Chiefs 2nd rd failures. Even KPass is probably more suited for 43, although he's so raw and came from a league w/ not much talent and used his size/strength to overwhelm his opponents, which hasn't translated at all to the NFL.

Speaks was far more effective at generating pressure from the outside than the inside, if I remember correctly.

Shaping up nicely. This is going to be a good defense. We are going to play Chiefs defense again.

For the first time,

In 9 shitty years.

It's a narrative here. Just go with it.

So, you think the Chiefs should have kept Sutton? I know you didn't think he was the problem early on. I though you wised up? Guess it was just temporary.

Yes, a short sucky window of "Suttony goodness".
Sutton defense is NOT Chiefs defense.
Crennell defense is NOT Chiefs defense.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!
