onejayhawk Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 So much for leading the league in rush yardage allowed. Who spiked Kelce's prune juice? Even for him 4 TD is a game to remember. Not bad for a guy who was never fast and has lost a step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 We’re one of the worst teams in the league at defending the deep pass, and red zone defense, not great with Josh Allen coming to town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sill, not ideal that we are allowing so many Red Zone chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've played well so far considering, and are on track in the long run, but it's a lot to ask of basically 4 rookies in the secondary. At least the youth means there is potential to improve as the season moves on. It's at least not just like, Sorensen again. The one saving grace against Buffalo is Buffalo really doesn't run. So we'll be more able to leave the safeties back than we were against Vegas. I kept seeing people ask why we didn't double Adams every play, and the answer was what Josh Jacobs was doing to us up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the defense is doing much better don’t get me wrong, prefer them to Sorensen and Neimann starting. But we still lead the league in DPI iirc. With all those TDs given up through the air in the red zone is alarming, that’s not a leave the safeties back there problem. And that definitely plays into Buffalos strengths with their lack of a real run game. This very well could be another Gabe Davis going off kinda game again. We’re still gonna have to keep an eye on JA running the ball up front too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it efficiency ... he just knows where to be at the right time. Nevertheless - unable to watch the game: I was surprised he didn't have more yardage. But obviously he got double coverage all the time ... a good day for others to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 This is an article claiming that the DL is actually better than we thought. I can see the argument. Chris Jones is having a great year. Mike Danna and Kahlen Saunders have emerged as important rotation players. Carlos Dunlap has earned his money. We have pressures, we have sacks, and we have lots of batted passes. If we had a more experienced secondary and one more edge rusher this could be any elite defense. Still, the key is bang for the buck. The Chiefs are bottom third in resources invested in DL, based on player draft position. That's what this analysis is about. Interesting.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/12/22/23520216/chiefs-defensive-line-performing-above-expectation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it actually make a case for no-one, whatever side of the fence you're on: "The Chiefs are spending too much on the Dline" or "The Chiefs aren't spending enough on the Dline."
