We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

Needs to be done and get out with all the super pass rush shit. They were thrown on 100 more times than damn anyone else. The stats are inflated becasue of it.
Dee Ford had one of the highest pressure percentages. [Reply]

Look man, wouldnt you give up some sacks for some 3rd down stops! I would.
We are going to a more aggressive Defense with a new scheme. If we have half as many sacks but twice as many 3rd down stops our defense will be greatly improved. Our league leading sacks defense got ZERO in the AFC Championship game. A stop or two on 3rd down and we win that game. [Reply]

Will 2020 be the Year of the Further Injured/Brain Dead Pass Rusher"? Because if so, we've got that shit locked DOWN. [Reply]

Are you high? What do you think a 'box safety' does in a 4-3?
I know what a box safety does. Overpaying said safety, the one they covet to run said system that can't actually cover is a completely different topic than what the role is in the system.
I'm questioning if it's worth paying that much for it. Not the role of it in the system. [Reply]

Yeah, I can tell that you don't.
The whole point is the Chiefs don't really seem confident in Ford fitting in well because they wouldn't be actively shopping him for just a 2nd round pick. If they aren't confident in him panning out, I think I would rather have the 17 mil (keeping him tagged as a LB is a stretch) and taking what would be a more sure thing in the comp pick formula would make sense over the alternative.

you guys throw out the term 'BOX SAFETY' like that's some kind of derogatory term.
In the modern NFL, a 'box safety' or more accurately, a STRONG SAFETY is responsible for covering TE's, slot receivers on slants and short yardage routes, and in run support.
These are things we were absolutely horrible at last year. Landon Collins would've made enough difference alone that we probably beat New England and go to the Super Bowl.
But you guys think he's worth less than a free safety.
He's a defense changing piece, will be 26 years old, and already proven to be a stud in this defensive system. You guys are nuts. [Reply]

Exactly
Newsflash: Sutton used his SS in a completely stupid way. It's why you saw Daniel Sorenson essentially playing outside linebacker. People need to get their minds out of the Sutton era trash system. [Reply]

it's like all these guys ONLY watch The Chiefs. [Reply]

Okay. Collins isn't good in coverage. That's what people are concerned about. [Reply]
Yeah it’s like literally all the nfl people have been saying the same things about Landon Collins struggles as we have here but clearly, none of us are as versed in football as some here [Reply]
