When you're so bad at run defense you make it a legitimately good choice to run the ball at you consistently, that's pretty impressive(ly bad). https://t.co/hFnQIuLKqe

Or he's making business decisions during a contract year, though if he pulls a disappearing act this season ala Clark I can't imagine that's going to help his next contract too much. [Reply]

I also think it's on coaches to ask for the right things. It's no surprise Reid did well with OL and less well with WRs many of whom are serviceable WRs who can block and play STs. Just as it's no surprise spags did well with CBs but goes after slow plodding LBs.
But point being, veach has responded really well in the past to crises. Let's see how he responds to this one.
Think this is a very fair point, these things probably have to be seen as a combination. Probably the same with additions like Reed. Veach may have evaluated poorly, but hard to imagine it was his suggestion to move Jones to DE. [Reply]

The season is 30% over, a month. Who was it? Einstein, that said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. [Reply]

Spags has been really good with the secondary. Sneed, Landlord, Breeland, Fenton, Thornhill and even Hughes in his role.
If your pass rush sucks it won’t matter who your coordinator is
We signed a DT that had 10 sacks 2 years ago and is young.
We have a DT that had 16 sacks not too long ago
We paid 100m for a DE that consistently got 10 sacks each year prior to getting to KC
We have 2-3 back 7 players that are highly effective blitzers.
KC is paying elite money to House snd Daly…they’ve been given the pieces, it’s up to them to put them in position to have similar success as they had elsewhere.
Honestly, let’s stop making excuses and start expecting results. [Reply]

We're also paying pretty elite money to Clark, perhaps he should shoulder some of the blame for his game absolutely disintegrating. I'm not defending the coaches, but Reed hasn't been useful for 2 years and Clark looks like he can barely move - I doubt anyone's getting a lot from him. Players frequently step backwards and it's not always the coaches - wear and tear, time catching up etc. I think there's enough blame to go around - signing Reed, switching Jones, players looking unprepared, players looking just dog-turd. Coaching is part of it but so is talent regression. [Reply]

We also paid Matt Cassel a lot of money and gave him an offensive coach. The finger needs to be pointed at the players too. [Reply]
