Face it: There is no "hidden" talent on this team. There's no "Jared Allen" in waiting and there certainly not a Neil Smith or Derrick Thomas just waiting to receive better coaching.
Guys like that, impact guys don't need coaching. You just turn them loose. The Chiefs don't have that right now on defense and the greatest D-line coach or defensive coordinator in the world wouldn't be able to create a guy like that with the existing talent.

Really?
How can you say that?
There are guys in this league that are passed over time after time, then for some reason, it clicks.
James Harrison of the Steelers is a perfect example.
The good thing is, these guys are ALL young. How many players have looked like dogshit in their first 2-3 years, then all of a sudden "got it?" It happens all the time.
If these guys were 8-10 year veterans, then yeah, I'd say we've probably seen what they really are.
