Where’s The Beef?
Dec. 05
With little help from Ron Edwards, who's never wowed anyone, and even less from rookie defensive tackles Tank Tyler and Turk McBride, the Chiefs have struggled at times on defense. Boone, Edwards, Tyler and McBride were pretty much dominated by the interior of San Diego's offensive line. Mike Goff, Nick Hardwick and Kris Dielman opened holes in the running game and LaDainian Tomlinson ripped the Chiefs for 177 yards and two scores. The inability of Boone and Edwards to control the play up front meant Donnie Edwards and Napoleon Harris got swallowed up at the second level. The main culprit on this play appeared to be linebacker Pat Thomas, who was sucked up on play action, but Boone and Tyler got absolutely no penetration. The Chiefs need to find another wide receiver, a couple of cornerbacks and most assuredly require help on the offensive line.
