2024 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters Post Draft

Our defensive scheme is a 4 - 3 (4 Down Linemen, and 3 Linebackers) base 7 man front with a 1 gap Under Front alignment (Defensive Line shifts to the weakside, and the Strong Side Outside Linebacker moves up on the line of scrimmage. That makes the defense look like a 5-2 with 43 personnel. Sometimes, the Strong or Free Safety will drop down close to the line of scrimmage, and the defense becomes an eight-man front, or what’s known as the 46 (Brian Dawkins in Philadelphia, and Justin Reid in KC). Now everybody in the NFL does a little bit of everything because it’s the pros and a copycat league. But our defensive coordinator comes from the Jim Johnson tree (‘99 – ‘08 with the Philadelphia Eagles) and prefers a 2 High Safety alignment with Press Man Coverage, mixed in with Man Blitzes, Double-A Gap Blitzes, and Zone Blitzes depending on the situation also.

2024 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters in my opinion after the draft:

LDE: George Karlaftis
LDT: Derrick Nnadi
RDT: Chris Jones
RDE: Felix Anudike-Uzomah
LOLB (SLB): Leo Chenal
MLB: Nick Bolton
ROLB (WLB): Drue Tranquill
LCB (CB1): Trent McDuffie
RCB (CB2): Joshua Williams
CB3: Jaylen Watson
SS: Justin Reid
FS: Bryan Cook

In the Nickel (5 DBs) against a spread offense, take out Drue Tranquill, and replace with a Slot Corner. Jaylen Watson.

In Dime (6 DBs), take out Leo Chenal, and Drue Tranquill. Add another Safety, Deon Bush, along with Jaylen Watson.

2024 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Post-Draft

2024 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Post-Draft in my opinion:

NFL West Coast passing scheme, and zone running scheme, mixed in with college option, misdirection plays, and spread offense. Every team has 11 players on the field at one time. How many at each position varies due to the situation.

QB: Patrick Mahomes

RB1: Isiah Pacheco (goal line and short-yardage Running Back)

RB2: Clyde Edwars-Helaire (our pass receiving Running Back)

WR1: Marquise Brown

WR2: Xavier Worthy

WR3: Rashee Rice

WR4: Justin Watson

WR5: Skyy Moore

WR6: Kadarius Toney

TE1: Travis Kelce (pass-catching Tight End)

TE2: Noah Gray (blocking Tight End)

LT: Wanya Morris

LG: Joe Thuney

OC: Creed Humphrey

RG: Trey Smith

RT: Jawaan Taylor

As you can see above, we’ve made a couple changes on the offense, especially our Wide Receivers and Offensive Tackles.

Seems like we haven’t had stability at OT since Eric Fisher, and Mitchell Schwartz.

…And, we have to continue bringing in new receivers through the draft or free agency because after Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill, our receivers leave much to be desired, and/or keep getting in legal trouble.

X-Men '97

So normally I don’t post about cartoons, or things I used to watch back when I was a kid in the nineties. Anytime I do watch a reboot show of the shows I used to watch as a kid for the nostalgia, I’m always left disappointed like most people born in the eighties, who grew up during the eighties, nineties, and 1st decade of the 2000’s. You have a certain expectation that the show will be like the original but it never is.

I found one exception. I stopped watching cartoons when they were all taken off the air in the late nineties, when Fox had Batman, Gargoyles, X-Men, and Spider-Man. The latter 2 are the 2 I followed.

With that being said, I found my one exception to every rule. X-Men 97. The original ended and felt unfinished (‘ 92 – ’97). I used to watch the original with a friend of mine I’ve known since kindergarten. He’ll back me up on this. I’ve also tried to discuss this with other people in private messages. What I like about X-Men 97 is it picks up right where the original show left off. Hence the title. And, it has all the original theme music, and most of the original voice actors, and the newer voice actors learned the original voices to make it authentic.

I’m always worried when they want a reboot of something that was popular because I’m always leery of the creative team ruining certain legacies, and what made the show good in the 1st place. But for now, I’m pleasantly surprised.

I couldn’t believe the plot twist at the end of episode 6. I won’t ruin it for others who haven’t seen it, but those mo foes got dark, and twisted. My 8 to 13-year-old is doing a happy dance because I remember it being as cool as it used to be, but now I am going to need therapy.

I was always on the Wolverine train. I like a guy whose skeleton was made out of a metal not of the Earth and impenetrable by any Earthly weapon, has heightened senses like wild animals, could heal himself from pretty much anything, which also made him age at a slower rate because most diseases didn’t affect him. Not to mention, claws that come out of your knuckles.

Guess I’ll have to wait for season two next year. I’m on board.
