We have 4 sacks, we generate NO pressure...our LB's are god awful as well...
I think we have an above average secondary when Flowers is playing...Flowers and Carr are the real deal...Page and Pollard are grossly inconsistent but I think they'd be fine if the opposing QB didn't have all day to pick our seems apart.
Like I said...if we lose every week like we did last week THIS YEAR, I'm ok with that...we got to see a little creativity, we got to see Thigpen play well again, we got to see Charles, Cottam...Albert...our O-line play well...Gonzalez make some great catches...Bowe with a TD...I'm ok with this. I like this. The last two weeks have been highly entertaining...that's all I wanted out of this year.
Herm showed me last year, even the year before, he's capable of putting together a pretty decent defensive scheme if we have a little pass rush...I'm not giving him a pass because he had a lot to do with the personnel on this team this year, but with no pass rush, no coach is going to succeed in this pass first NFL. So our defensive woes don't worry me...

Worried about the offense? Lets see how the rest of this season pans out to see if the Chiefs should be drafting offensive players in the draft. If Albert, Charles, Thigpen and Bradley all play extremely well to the end of the season, the Chiefs may not need to draft offensive players?
Not concerned about our defensive woes? I am. That's the glaring weakness of the team all year. And I blame in large part the coaching and the lack of personnel in the front seven. Krumrie needs to be fired in a heartbeat and Gunther can go with him as well. I really think the focus in this draft should be defense. Getting as much help along the front seven as they can get and bringing in a co-ordinator and some good position coaches in here that coach these guys well.
