This guy has to be one of the most underrated coordinators in history. Whenever we rushed 4 we didn't even sniff Herbert, so Spags dials up his creative blitzes and we end up with a ton of sacks (most by far LAC has allowed in a game, and they hadn't allowed many all year).
That's not easy to do, and 99% of coordinators either don't make the (any) adjustment, or don't scheme something that works. Like they just send the house and get burned. The timing, the way it's hidden pre-snap, just genius. |

I know we all love our coaching staff, but it really struck me when Sneed had to leave the game for a bit that we were running with three rookie cornerbacks and playing well. That's dang impressive. It reminded me of the 49ers' ascent back in the 80s when they started three rookies in the defensive backfield and thrived.
The Chiefs can identify talent and they can develop talent.

2nd to last offensive play for the Chargers was an absolute gem. D lined up with wide tackles and LB’s with wide splits leaving the middle of the LOS open.
Herbert saw that on his drop back and decided to attempt the run. But I think Spags goaded him into that as Jones went across the face of the guard or center as Herbert came forward and nailed him for the 3 yard sack/loss. If that was coached that way, it was ****ing brilliant. |

What a game for Spags. D gives up 20-pts in 1st half then 7 in the 2nd. Great job making adjustments

He and his staff held LAC to 115 yards of total offense in the 2nd half. 5 drives, one score. And it's not the first time this season.

The defense has made large improvements every year as the season progressed since Spags was hired. This year is no different. The team has 32 sacks and is currently tied for 4th in the league. 14 of the sacks have came in the last 3 games.

McDuffie Watson Williams Chenal Cook All of those rookies are playing significant snaps and excelling. The rest of the season should show us a defense that’s playing with a lot of swagger as they continue yo be coached up snd build on communication. |

Isn’t this arguably the best defense we have had since spags has been here?

Chiefs are 4th in the league in sacks.
Already with more than we had in the entirety of last season. Spags + Cullen = godmode |

Spags is a ****ing magician. All of those rookies playing key roles, and playing well. It's NUTS what he's doing.
And especially the second half of games, when it is most important. And also, nobody can dial up a blitz at a key moment like Spags. I mean it's like serious genius. As far as I'm concerned, he can stay here with Andy until they both retire. |
