Another fantastic hire and theft by Spagnuolo and Reid. I’ve watched this guy in interviews several times before, always thoroughly impressed. [Reply]

Yeah, but it ties up SO much and we're already strapped. We need as much maneuvering room as we can get because there's a LOT of suck currently residing on this roster. [Reply]

Spagnuolo asks a ton out of his safeties in his scheme. Parker/Sorenson/Berry/Murray were all pedestrian or worse last year - at least Sorenson showed signs of life late in the season to perhaps merit a consideration of being retained. The others? GTFO. Expect two safeties that are versatile to garner most of the snaps in this defense. Spagnuolo deploys more corners in nickel/dime than Sutton. In short - the safeties will have to be studs as they will rarely leave the field.
I see one of the big three safeties as the priority FA target:
Collins, Amos or Thomas.

Although I really would love Earl Thomas, I am starting to think maybe depending on Berry health outlook the Chiefs roll with the safeties they have.
??? which one are you referring to as MLB will be Hitchens, SAM will be Houston and the WIL is O'Daniel. [Reply]

I'm serious; I want to retire that prick. I want to watch the Chiefs kick their asses from the playoffs no less that three years in a row, or until Brady calls it quits.
And when Brady is gone, I want to walk in to Foxboro and just fucking HUMILIATE that entire fan base on national TV. [Reply]
I like the part about him headbutting a player. That's the kind of intensity this defense needs. They've been WAY to sort under Sutton, they need coaches that will light a fire under their asses. [Reply]
Wow Interesting hire! The guy who got the d-line ready to do all those stunts and shit they did in the playoffs. I believe they led the league in playoff sacks! and were 3rd in pressures in the regular season despite their low sack total. [Reply]

I think it's more about coaching and getting players to execute stunts properly.
The Patriots o-line have had stunts called against them by the Chiefs and didn't really get home. The Patriots were so successful with stunts in the playoffs so Daly must know how to coach the players up.
I will add one small caution, it would appear the interior was the weakness of the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams o-line so they kept attacking it, but they used stunts to give their "less flashy" personnel a chance I'm guessing.
