What Do Seahawks Have That Chiefs Don't? A Shutdown Secondary from FS Kansas City
Don't get him wrong: Castellane, who tracks the Chiefs for PFF.com, thinks the Andy Gang is good, too. But as the City of Fountains grits its teeth and gets ready for a week of slobbering over Peyton Manning and whining about the weather (it's Jersey in January; yeah, people, it might snow), Chiefs fans would be wise to take a long, hard look at Seattle's gifted (and loquacious) cornerback.

The money they would save on Albert's contract could go a long way toward solving problems elsewhere on the roster.

On the road, San Francisco is going to Dallas, New York, Denver, New Orleans and, if you can call it a roadie, to Oakland. There are those two divisional games versus the Seattle Seahawks, too. Those should be, well, anticipated.
