Changes Will Happen – Bet on it

As you make your way onto the final page here on my defensive youth breakdown, that is, if you were able to deal with me this long – I would like to take the time to stress how much the defense needs help, and attention.

Last season, it was obvious, the offense was good (most of the time), yet the defense was garbage. As the Chiefs lost many household names this season, it may be even worse next season.

However, as a fan, keep in mind that this so-called “Youth Movement” will take time to gel together and become something special.

Please, please, please keep in mind that beyond the struggles on defense next season, is a bright future – and who knows, maybe this defense will be better than what we thought. Knock on wood.

Average defense age: 26-years old
