On the defense:
"Eventually, Edwards predicts, folks will be saying the same kind of things about the Chiefs, who hope to establish the same type of leathery identity with their defense that Chicago has formed under coach Lovie Smith."
Ok, Herm, nice prediction. It would seem to me that every team wants to have a defense like the Bears. It also seems that very few teams will ever get there. It takes talent, or, if the Chiefs think they can get there "eventually," at least promising young talent. Looking at their roster, it would seem that Tamba Hali is the only guy that fits the bill. I mean they start Alphonso Boone for crying out loud. The linebackers feature Donnie Edwards (past his prime) and Napoleon Harris (best known in my household as a member of the 1995 Thornton Wildcats that featured 4 professional athletes in their starting 5). In the secondary I see big names like Patrick Surtain and Ty Law, which would be great if this was 2000. So Herm, I'd like to know why exactly you expect to get to an elite level.
Hilariously, the article goes on to say that Chiefs fans aren't concerned. Rather, they would rather see Edwards focus on an offense that laid an egg last week. Herm doesn't care.
"I’d love to have an offense that scores 30 points a game,” Edwards said. “But most offenses don’t do that. I’m not saying that I don’t want to score points. (Scoring points) helps because then my defense can unleash on them."
News flash: scoring points helps!
Let's go through what we learned from the KC Star: The Chief's D is at least a few years away. The O is terrible. And the coach claims to understand why you play, yet thinks that it's worth noting that scoring points helps. At least they have the Royals...

Bears receivers suck. Moose is officially old and slow, instaed of just old and Barrian can't catch. Bring on Bradley.
