The "bend but don't break" philosophy is passive and weak.

Magnificent post. As to the first point, they can also watch any Chiefs defense film from the 1990's and learn the same lesson, and I hope they do. Back in the day, if it wasn't a straight man on man situation down the field, EVERYBODY was getting a piece of that ass. In addition to making sure that the opponent was going nowhere, there was also an element of punishment to be meted out. We need more of that.
As to point #2, I've been saying that for months and it's precisely what I mean when I say "we haven't been playing Chiefs defense for 9 years". Peeholi did a LOT of short and medium term damage to this franchise. The 3-4 and Romeo Crennell were his "long term masterpiece", and **** that fat clown in his m00bs for it.
