Looking back at the initial posts in this thread, Beach hit a home run.

Also got lucky we wiffed on Silverback and JuJu, IMO.

I'm not saying the Chiefs and Brett Veach haven't done anything to improve the defense and pass rush.

I love many of the moves that have been made.

I'm looking at what the Chiefs have now at DE and I have these concerns.

1. When and where will Frank Clark decide to turn it on?

2. Will Taco Charlton be able to make it through a season healthy?

3. What kind of a player will Joshua Kaindoh be and can he stay healthy?

1) We’re still at least 50/50 for Bert (who’s this Brett Veach character) to add a vet pass rusher.

2) Taco/Danna/Ward/Wharton/Kaindoh give us some clay for Daly and Spags to work with.

3) Reed makes our interior pass rush better. Edge rushers are somewhat devalued when QBs get the ball out in 2.5 or less.

I'm sure more changes are coming. Maybe a trade. I was just looking at the free agent DEs, as you can see by the list. All of them are fairly old and are certainly on the downhill slide of their NFL careers.

and guard Bryan Witzmann released;


This news makes our team better.

Here's the deal:

If we'd added a guy with 8 sacks last year at DE and stood pat at DT nobody would be complaining. But we added a DT with that level of production, so everybody's wringing their hands.

And don’t forget about how creatively we used Sneed on corner blitzes towards the end of last year.

I know that’s a gimmick that you shouldn’t rely on, but it’s on tape, and the threat of it is another dimension offenses might have to account for and adjust to.

And you can bet Spags is planning on them doing exactly that

If Taco can hold up, I think we’re fine there. But obviously we can’t bank on that, and I have little faith in Ward or Danna as pass rushers. Find a proven edge rusher. And sign Breeland yesterday.

Let’s go, Bart....nice work so far but cap it off.
[Reply]

Yep. Get 'er done Bart. Let's Gooo!
[Reply]

Sorry, I stopped reading right here.

The dude played in 16 games his first season. After that, it was 11, 10, and then 7.

The dude CAN'T hold up. They'd be foolish to even think it.

Maybe he gets hurt in TC and gets healthy for the playoffs......
[Reply]

We said that about Sammie last year and he ended up not being healthy for the playoffs. I'm done with Taco. We should have tried to keep Ogbah.
[Reply]

Too rich.

They bet on Okafor before trading for Ogbah.
[Reply]

Yeah, and they bet wrong. Another brokedick.

It would be cool if those two Michigan alums would make a pact to kick ass this year. Both have something to prove in a big way. Both are probably gone if they don’t step up. Both should be fighting for their careers.
