They had just about as easy of a path through Brown.

He was supposed to be a disciplined run support guy but he has been anything but that.

Need him to put it all together this season.

He seems to rank pretty average in run defense, while playing in a defense that was built to defend the pass.

This kind of sums it up for me. Is he worth a top 10 pick so far? Definitely not, but they still have him in the late 1st. PFF claims he improved his run defense last year slightly (really hard to measure). Give him some bigger/better LBs than Carter and Whitehead plus better run support than Burns/Reddick on the outsides and I think he will look solid. Our LBs are still pretty bad, but better than last year and YGM should help our run defense IMO.

DJ.

It's known he's "good" when actually he's better than that.  If he had competent QB play...even something like Jake, he would be higher on lists.

 

This. DJ always gets mentioned nationally as "a nice weapon" while Robbie is viewed as "the guy". In truth, DJ is one of the best in the league and that's with Teddy and Darnold/post-injury Cam throwing.

He gets himself in bad positions way too often, IMO. 

But, he has this year to figure it out. Hopefully he really jumps up to the next level and shows that he is a top 10 caliber pick.

He is a 1st round talent IMO. The man was a beast in college and demanded double teams early his rookie year. He definitely took a step back last year, but I think he is in for a good year this season. I mean if teams wanted to run on us last year they had an easy path through Reddick or Burns.

Maybe but he isn’t in this D with this scheme. It is hard to tell because of that. A players worth isn't just their potential but how they are used. 

I would be rrally interested to see him in another scheme but I think we see more of the same this year unfortunately.

Good point. He built this defense to stop the pass with investments in the secondary, smaller faster LBs, and Burns/Reddick on the ends. If Brown is the only run stopper then I’m sure he has been overthinking too much and getting frustrated especially considering he is still pretty young. Honestly I’m not very high on Snow as our DC. Maybe Wilks can give some input.

Every day we get closer to this year I get less excited about the D Snow built. I love what Wilks can do with the DBs, i just don’t know what he has to offer more than that or that it is really going to help this year but the next staff given this staffs scheme weaknesses.

For what we ask him to do we could have gone with much latter talent and really seen no difference. It's like with the DBs. No matter their potential but if they can't go ridiculously beyond what we should be asking of them will it really even matter? I don’t think so after last year.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
