We need to beef up the OL and draft some fucking athletes at every level of the defense.
Everyone on our defense is either garbage, a role player in a starter's role, disinterested, or a shit athlete. The CBs can't cover without holding/interfering, the safeties are often beaten deep/don't do shit in run support, the LBs are weak, slow and fucking dumb, and the DL can't disengage a blocker to save their shitty fucking careers.
Even Chris Jones, far and away our best defender, leaves a lot to be desired in run support/gap control.
When Daniel Sorenson appears to be one of your better defenders, you know you've got problems. And that's actually how I know this defense is truly worse this year than last. Last season Sorenson stuck out like a sore thumb as one of our worst. This year, I'm actually sort of pleased to see him out there around the ball because I trust him to make the play more than anyone else. [Reply]

This. Invest heavily in the OL. The number one priority is to protect your damn franchise. Stop relying on these journeymen lineman to miraculously look like all pros. Need to get much better and more physical on both the offensive and defensive line. [Reply]
Some fatties for sure. I don't know how many plays would've gone for a TD this season if Mahomes had one more second to throw, but it seems like a bunch. [Reply]
