A) I guess I made this up? Kevin Rutland was from Mizzou, played for Jacksonville but never seems to have played for us? I swear I remember us having a guy we didn't do anything but send nickel blitzes with and he was decent at it. Wonder if he was a pre-season wonder.
B) In trying to find this person I came across the 2008 Kansas City Chiefs.
10 sacks. All season. By the entire team.
Hali led the team with THREE. Babin 2, DJ 1.5, Dorsey, Alfonso Boone and Ron Edwards had 1. Pat Thomas contributed the half sack. We had multiple sacks in 10 games including a miraculous 3 sacks against the Chargers. Meaning that we didn't record a single sack in 10 of the 16 games we played that season.
The good news is that such ineptitude yielded us Tyson Jackson. And I can't even be THAT mad about it because apart from Stafford, the entire draft was a giant steaming pile of shit. The Rams and Seahawks, with Jason Smith and Aaron Curry on either side of Jackson, managed to do even worse.
Good lord - how did this franchise have any fans left after that abomination? I had completely removed it from the memory banks altogether.
