Spags deserves a ton of credit for building this defense. We'll never know exactly how much decision-making power he has when it comes to drafting players (I'm guessing quite a bit), but it's VERY apparent that Spags can develop players. And it's VERY apparent that he can field a defense that plays to player strengths.
8 (could call it 9) of our defensive starters are playing on their rookie deals. Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, and Justin Reid are the only "starters" not drafted by Veach/Spags. That speaks volumes about this team's drafting AND coaching ability. We're not asking rookies to do too much. We're not asking free agents who haven't played in this system to do too much. We've got a roster full of young, homegrown players that know this scheme. We're in a great spot... |

Oh come on. A lot of good football posters hated the Spags hire.
I wasn’t one of them, but I’m not going to shit on anybody who didn’t want him |

I was an early adopter of Spags Supremacy and never wavered in my faith.
The result is two rings and likely the best defense we've fielded since 1997. I'd like this CLEAR grand slam of a take to result in the expungement of pre-draft Mahomes takes that have been used unfairly against me by trolls on this site for years. Half ya'll wanted him fired in every game thread.

97’s D didn’t get either of the stops Spags did against Burrow last year.
Harsh on 97’s D, I know, but those are the stops Super Bowl winning defenses make. While Gunther’s scheming when we had Elway on the ropes cost us a potential Super Bowl run, Spags rolled all 7’s and got the ball back to our offense for a game winning drive. |

Besides, that's not a bad take.

My initial reaction to the Spags hire was definitely a heavy thumbs down. So glad to have been wrong. Seems like he and Veach have a mind-meld where a remarkably high number of players get drafted, and quickly are plugged in and developing/producing. Which is exactly what we need if we want to have a true dynasty. Also just generally love the Chiefs overall defensive scheme since he came here. I am rarely shouting "what the ****?" anymore at horrible mismatches or blown coverages when the Chiefs are on D.
I have dreamt of Mahomes having what Brady had, which is a top defense that doesn't require offensive heroics every game. Since the Spags hire it has felt like the defense has been good enough to not be "a problem", and allow Mahomes to go out and win. When we're in a hole it's almost never insurmountable. With the current group of players I'm hopeful this can be Spags best year ever, and raise the standard yet again. |
