As for Larry Johnson, your 30-year-old running back, he has to stay on the field this season. He has missed a lot of games in the last two seasons.
Johnson and Bowe are the only weapons this offense has. They will be game-planned for each week, and shut down. The Chiefs' offense will be garbage this season. If Johnson or Bowe gets hurt, then the Chiefs are in major trouble.
DEFENSE
The Chiefs have one of the worst defensive units in the NFL. Not even a new scheme can cover the skills of their players on defense.
Last season they allowed 28 points per game, and close to 400 yards per game. Thus explains a 2-14 record.
What have the Chiefs done on defense? Switching to a 3-4? You think that's going to help Chiefs fans? You still got the same old, washed, bootsy-ass players out there from last season.
Tyson Jackson was a wasted pick. He hasn't even played a snap in the NFL, but out of all the needs that the Chiefs have, with the third-overall pick in the NFL draft you're going to take a DE for a 3-4 system?
Glenn Dorsey was rated higher then Jackson. Dorsey is garbage, and now you're trying to tell me Dorsey will be playing the other DE in a 3-4 system? Wow.
Who will be playing nose tackle? Tank Tyler? How bootsy can you guys be? Those guys will get blocked and run on all season long. Tank Tyler? WOW.
Trevor Scott, our sixth-round pick from last season 2008 draft, will have a better year then Dorsey and Jackson put together. Yes, that a bold statment, but it might just happen.
Who else?
Hali? His stats have gotten worst each season. That's the whole reason you guys drafted another DE, because Hali wasn't doing his job.
Who else?
Turk Mcbride? Alfonso Boone? All of those guys are garbage. I'm sorry, but they suck. You can't be serious with that pass rush.
Next, let's look at the Chiefs' old, slow-ass LB's
Zach Thomas–Thomas is old. He had a good year in the Cowboys' system, but look at the Cowboys D-line compared to Kansas City's. They had Ware and Ellis.
Zach Thomas will be the lone bright spot, but lets be honest, he has lost a step. He brings in veteran leadership, but this isn't the Zach Thomas from 1996-2006. Thomas' numbers will drop.
Mike Vrabel–Another guy whose stats have been dropping every year. That's why New England was willing to give this guy up, because he is old.
Darren McFadden is going to juke the fuck out of either Zach Thomas or Mike Vrabel. Those guys can't keep up with that kind of speed.
And if we use Michael Bush, Bush will run those old guys over.
Derrick Johnson is the best LB on the Chiefs, but we'll see what he does this season. There will be plenty of chances for tackles due to the fact that the Chiefs won't be stopping teams for first downs, and the Chiefs defensive line sucks.
Last, but not least, is the Chiefs bootsy-ass secondary. There is no way any DB on the Chiefs will be able to keep up with Darrius Heyward-Bey's 4.2 speed, or the fact he is 6'2 and will out-jump the Chiefs DB's.
Chaz Schilens, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Darren McFadden, Zach Miller, DHB, Louis Murphy...the Raiders are about to whoop your ass. I promise.
Jerrad Page and Bernard Pollard are the worst saftey combo in the league. How many times have these guys missed tackles, or let WR's get behind them. I'm surprised that Chiefs fans even root for these guys still.
Brandon Carr stays getting burnt game after game.
Brandon Flowers is 5'9 and slow, and sucks at balls in the air.
Who is going to help at DB? Travis Daniels? Maurice Leggett? Jon Mcgraw? Donald Washington? Mike "Chicago don't want you anymore" Brown? I mean, who is back there that is going to stop top WR's in the NFL?
What I'm hearing on these forums is that the Chiefs will be contenders soon. I just don't see it. The Chiefs are garbage...they lost their best player to Atlanta, the offense is bad, and the defense is among the worst in the NFL.
The Chiefs have a unproven head coach, and a QB who is coming from the New England Pats' offense. Keyword: New England.
You can't be serious if you think Kansas City will be good this season. Have you guys seen their schedule?
