I'm a life long Chiefs fan (and Spurs fan of course) but I think Sammy Knight and Patrick Surtain will be taking care of the secondary. Honestly, I never heard anything about Washington all through training camp.

Chiefs improving the defense quietly..i'm anxious to see what they'll do...look for them to improve a of alot from last year and go far.

Trent Green has got alot of weapons there and the offense is still formidable...now its curious to see the D..its improved definitely, but we'll see how much..and didn't KC also get Texas' Defensive Coordinator??

Did you really start a thread about the signing of a guy who, if he plays his heart out, MIGHT compete for a nickel CB job in Kansas City?

Derrick Johnson

No. Gunther Cunningham is their defensive coordinator. He used to be their head coach not too long ago.
