Whoa that is a bit unexpected.
everybody was waiting for the run to end I guess.
See how this one plays out… considering we had no pass rush.
Take notes from EB and don’t do it!
“So Joe, we don’t have a generational pass rushing DT like Chris Jones and our edge room lacks athleticism… can you talk us through how you plan to generate pressure against top tier divisional offensive lines like Philadelphia and Dallas?
Joe Cullen:
Dline was one of the worst on a chiefs team in years so I’m ok with it
Really does stand for “Not For Long” doesn’t it?
Don’t like that. The DL _loves_ Cullen and despite our play last season, by all accounts he’s a really good coach. Would be tough to see him somewhere else.
Please take him
Cullen and not Merritt? I guess I’ll take that, but Cullen is a positional coach I would prefer to keep. He’s done a really good job developing our Linebackers.
People talking about the pass rush when Cullen has no say over the type of DEs Spags tells Veach he needs for his scheme.
Failing upward
I want to work in an industry where your unit can massively under perform and you can be next in line for promotions.
The NFL is simply wild. I guess good for Joe.
Im not really sure how good of a coach he is. I might’ve heard that one of the players wasn’t happy with him but I never looked into it and can’t remember.
That being said I want to remind everyone that there was plenty else wrong with the dline room and that he shouldn’t entirely responsible.
A lot of our guys physically regressed or had season ending injuries this year.
we’ve been top 3 in sacks more than once with him. (I’m not sure how much of that was the dline but it’s safe to assume 70-80% of those were.
Good riddance
Everything I heard about Cullen both before and during his Chiefs tenure has been pretty positive. He’s been a DL coach for a lot of good teams over the years. The Chiefs just lost their assistant DL coach a few days ago so losing Cullen too would not be the best.
I really think Andy is making calls around the league trying to dump his trash on other teams so he doesn’t have to fire them.
Good I hope they hire him
Ironically the chiefs not being in the post season makes a lot of our coaches more likely to get new jobs because they’re pretty much free to interview anywhere now whereas most years they’d be busy during the most active part of the hiring cycle
Bye!
Our DLine was the weak link on our Defense so…
I’m of the camp that the more coaches they lose, the better. The team has stagnated and it starts with the coaches.
