My initial reaction to the Spags hire was definitely a heavy thumbs down. So glad to have been wrong. Seems like he and Veach have a mind-meld where a remarkably high number of players get drafted, and quickly are plugged in and developing/producing. Which is exactly what we need if we want to have a true dynasty. Also just generally love the Chiefs overall defensive scheme since he came here. I am rarely shouting "what the ****?" anymore at horrible mismatches or blown coverages when the Chiefs are on D.
I have dreamt of Mahomes having what Brady had, which is a top defense that doesn't require offensive heroics every game. Since the Spags hire it has felt like the defense has been good enough to not be "a problem", and allow Mahomes to go out and win. When we're in a hole it's almost never insurmountable. With the current group of players I'm hopeful this can be Spags best year ever, and raise the standard yet again.
