| A new coaching regime hopes to get the Chiefs defense straightened out. But they have a lot of work to do, inheriting a team that ranked 31st defensively. The Chiefs were torched time and time again against the run, allowing 159 yards per game. The additions of veteran linebackers Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas should help, though. Both are upgrades over last season and have a ton of valuable experience. Kansas City needs to generate a much better pass rush after getting a league-low 10 sacks last season. They are counting on rookie Tyson Jackson to provide a big lift in this area. The Chiefs also are looking for second-year tackle Glenn Dorsey to take some big steps forward after a fairly disappointing rookie season. The Chiefs secondary has some question marks with Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr the likely starters. Kevin Robinson was the top punt and kick return man much of last season, but didn't do much in this role. The Chiefs are likely to look for other options, likely giving Kolby Smith or Jamaal Charles a shot at the job.

They have to be better than last season, but that still doesn't make the Chiefs a defense we would want on our team. Their sack potential is low and the secondary is likely to give up some big plays. You might get a start or two out of this unit in the right matchup, but that is about it. |
