When Spags has had talent, he’s been great. When he hasn’t, he’s been bad.
You can do this with just about every long time DC in football. |

That's what we said about Alex Smith last year. This stuff happens every year to a guy on the trade block. We may not get blue chip trade bait. But no, I don't think him being under contract is an obstacle. If a team wants him, and can't imagine why there wouldn't be interest, they're not going to wait for us to cut him. And the Chiefs are probably not above absorbing a 1 yr contract if it means getting a better trade, but I doubt it will come to that.

One things for sure about spagnuolo is he cares a ton about DB's. He either cares too much about it to let a bad coach stay. Or he will basically outrank a bad DB's coach and teach him the right way. That's one positions group that doesn't really concern me.

Speaks will probably be a weakside DE. I think Neimann can be a strongside linebacker. It will be really interesting to see what happens with our linebackers. In a 4-3 the linebackers have much more protection and can run freely and attack. The MLB in a 4-3 has to be a tackling machine. Remember that Donnie Edwards played MLB for a while because of his range. Some Defensive Coordinators want their MLB to be an attacking, downhill linebacker. At the snap of the ball the MLB has already read the play and is shooting a gap. I don't know what Spagnuolo is going to do. |

Wade Phillips was considered the best DC in football just a few years ago, but since he has all that talent he hasn’t been nearly as good.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that it will come down to getting more talent to go along with him. Hell, I think Spags is an improvement from Sutton, but even Sutton showed he could get it done when he had the talent. |

Here’s the bright side:
This team is going to score a ton of points next year and Spags will formulate defenses that focus on generating pressure on opposing QBs and imo the talent this team has fits a 4-3 under style defense pretty well. Our DL should be pretty damn good right away. Their jobs just got simplified and that should definetely play to their strengths. Hitchens and DOD should be able to pretty much hit the ground running. Maybe we try to add K.J. Wright to round out the Linebackers. One things for sure...he’s gonna need a lot of talent to make it work. Sign Collins and trade for Ramsey/PP and we should be able to have a good shot at getting past NE next year. |
