31. Kansas City Chiefs: Pass Rush
If all Chiefs opponents in 2008 had combined to make one football team, they would have been the least sacked team in NFL history, and all five lineman would have been in the pro bowl. That's just how good the Chiefs pass rush made their opponents look last year. They really didn't do anything to upgrade the pass rush; LB Mike Vrabel comes over from New England, which certainly won't hurt, but also doesn't bring a lot of upside to the overall production. The offseason focus on defense was about a move to a 3-4 unit, and bolstering the defensive line first and foremost. That's fine, but it still leaves them a step away from a competent defensive unit who can get after the passer at a significantly better rate than last year's debacle.

That makes no sense

Even if the Chiefs opponents could come together as one team AND if they played the Chiefs every game of the season, then yes, it makes sense. But they left that last part out.

Yeah, it is a lame analysis but...

It’s true. Our pass rush was awful last year, the worst in HISTORY.
The only way it will improve this year is by mixing up the blitz schemes and blitzing play after play in passing downs. Still one of the biggest questions going into the season. As long as our opponents don’t know where the blitz is coming from, maybe we can get some pressure this year but, Pendergast is going to really have to put together some very interesting schemes to make it work.
