I don't agree. I think Herm HAS drafted well. I dislike the guy severely, but I'll give him that much credit. The guy would be a top notch scout. Tamba Hali has proved to be over rated, but you have to consider that these young guys aren't out there playing with vets. They're playing with other young guys. Page and Pollard will be solid. So will Flowers. Branden Albert has my confidence. So does Jamal Charles. These guys ARE still learning. They ARE young. Rookies that play well generally have a well founded supporting cast. The Chiefs don't. Simple as that.
Well, I am no coach, but what I do know is that a strong safety is really not meant to be keeping up with the speeder receivers, that is what you have speedy cornerbacks for. Strong safeties are primarily in coverage against the tight end, or plays that come over the middle of the field. They are also responsible for picking up those running plays that get through the linebackers.
That said, speed is not the main attribute for a strong safety. We need him to be strong and to be able to make the stop against those stronger running backs and tight ends.
Having said that, I have seen him seriously improve over the last couple of years. Up to even last year I would not have given you much for him, but this year he has really turned around and seems to be one of the shining members of this team. He has to stay right now.
In my opinion, right now he is the defensive MVP for this team.
At the safety position I dont think you need spped as much as you need vision. At safety you are alot of times the last line of D before someone scores. You need more vision to take the right angle rather than taking someone head on so you can get the big hit. Angle to tackle saves touchdowns. If a reciever gets far enough for the safety to tackle him he already prob got the 1st down so whats a couple more yards to grab and tackle rather than laying the helmet flying off hit.
Are you sure that you really want to know how I'd fix the chiefs?
This season I wouldn't fix them since its a given that they are zip anyway. Fix them next season.
There is no way to fix them this year, ive stated that before. The only way to come even close is to change HC and GM now rather then after the year. If we wait till after the year and IF Clark does replace both then all he has to go on is video and not seeing their reactions and attitudes on sideline. That tells a coach alot about a player.Im fine with the players we have since i know we cant just go out and cut people without killing our cap room. Saying that, Clark CAN keep the seats filled by having balls enough to make a change now for the future and give the next 2 guys a headstart on what to do next year. Why did SF make a change in middle of year? Yes i know that the coach had more time than Herm to do what he wanted but lets just look at the inevitible (sp?)
This guy may help our run D. How come we aint picked him up yet?
