Thank You to All D-Day Veterans


On this day, everyone make sure to thank any veterans of D-Day in your life. On June 6, 1944, the Allied forces stormed the beaches of Omaha and Utah in Normandy, France ,75 years ago. This began the liberation of Europe from Nazi control. If it weren’t for “the greatest generation” as they are known, we’d all be speaking German. I would have been euthanized because of the cerebral palsy. Despite my high intelligence. Anyone not deemed a supporter would be put in camps and euthanized. On a side note, Aryan actually means the people of the Indus River Valley in the actual country of India in Southeast Asia. The Swastika is a Hindu/Buddhist symbol of peace in the East, and a sign of evil in the West. So that’s how warped they were. And there’s not many heroes of that generation left, so let them know you’re grateful.

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Special Teams Post-Draft


2019 KC Chiefs Projected Special Teams Post-Draft in my opinion:

K: Harrison Butker
P: Dustin Colquitt
LS: James Winchester
H: Dustin Colquitt
KR: MeCole Hardman
PR: Tyreek Hill

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Defensive Starters Post-Draft


If the season started today (updated from my previous post before the draft).

Our new 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 probably Tyrann Matthieu in KC). Now everybody in the NFL does a little bit of everything because it’s the pros and a copycat league. But our new 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.

2019 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters in my opinion after the draft:

LDE: Alex Okafor (Emmanuel Ogbah starts if Okafor doesn't switch sides)
LDT: Derrick Nnadi
RDT: Chris Jones
RDE: Frank Clark
LOLB (SLB): Damien Wilson
MLB: Anthony Hitchens
ROLB (WLB): Dorian O'Daniel
LCB(CB1): Kendall Fuller
RCB(CB2): Bashaud Breeland
FS: Juan Thornhill
SS: Tyrann Mathieu

In the Nickel (5 DBs) against a spread offense, take out Anthony Hitchens, and replace with a Slot Corner. Probably Charvarius Ward.

In Dime (6 DBs), take out Damien Wilson and Anthony Hitchens. Add another Safety, Jordan Lucas along with Charvarius Ward (prefer Armani Watts).

Cut Tremon Smith (These are my cuts based on the undrafted free agents we signed). There will probably be more cuts, but I’m not sure off the top of my head, which they are yet.

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Post-Draft


2019 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: Damien Williams (our pass receiving Running Back)
RB2: Carlos Hyde (goal line and short-yardage Running Back)
WR1: Tyreek Hill
WR2: Sammy Watkins
WR3: MeCole Hardman
WR4: DeMarcus Robinson
WR5: Gehrig Deiter
WR6: Marcus Kemp
TE1: Travis Kelce (pass-catching Tight End)
TE2: Blake Bell (blocking Tight End)
LT: Eric Fisher
LG: Andrew Wylie
OC: Austin Rieter
RG: Laurent Duvernay-Tardif
RT: Mitchell Schwartz

As I said, we are pretty set on offense. The only real change is Chris Conley is replaced by MeCole Hardman as the 3rd receiver on the depth chart (slot receiver)

Cut Ragland *Can’t pass cover. More of a 3-4 inside LB.

This is all pre-draft of course. So we'll see on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
