That's where the disagreement will lie. I think the problem is only at a few positions, and I believe most of it can be addressed in one offseason. I also think the Chiefs were a 7- or 8-win team coached to 2-win results, primarily on defense. Which is why Herm should be gone, although I'm still not convinced he is. Either way, I'm thinking (or maybe just hoping) people will see more than they expect out of several players in 2009, specifically because so much of the roster is so young. I see growing or developing talent where other people see a lack.

Find a starting MLB, find a weak-side pass rusher, and I think the defense goes up 20 spots, particularly if Gunther is out the door. There's talent at the skill positions on offense, and while they need to settle the starting QB question, I think the most important thing is to get back to as dominant an offensive line as they can, regardless of what kind of system they end up running in '09.

In the end, I just hope we see aggressive football. On both sides of the ball. I'm sick of zone defense (which we've gotten for a decade, basically) and I'm sick of run-first neanderthal ball.
