After two games we’ve seen a beleaguered defense that gets worn down cause they are playing 50 minutes a game.

Time of possession hasn't been that bad because we've given up the big plays (it feels like 50 minutes). That depleted defensive back field against all the pass happy high tempo teams coming up worries me. There's only one antidote for that:

His Chiefs were the first pro football team that I tried to follow pretty closely. First coach to ever be mic'd up and was classic:

Interesting side note… the Vikings played the Chiefs the following year in the merged NFL/AFL. Viking coach Bud Grant showed the team the NFL Films Super Bowl IV film with Coach Stram miked up. This was done 1 hour before KO. Needless to say the Vikings pounded the Chiefs that day.

Don’t be sorry, sometimes you have to stand up to the man . Seriously, Grant is still a bad ass at 94.

After two games, we know . . .

• We have not lost a fumble.
• We need to find a Running Attack.
• We have kept penalties low.
• For the few punts we've forced, we have a good return game.
