Lanschaften » The Kansas City Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as

their new defensive coordinator Mecole Hardman Jersey Cheap , according to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. ESPN’s Adam Schefter chimed in that the deal for Spagnuolo is now done and official.Spagnuolo, 59, most recently served as an interim head coach for the New York Giants back in 2017 following Ben McAdoo’s midseason dismissal. Spagnuolo was the Giants’ defensive coordinator from 2015-17. He spent 2018 out of football.“Steve is a bright defensive mind with a lot of coaching experience and success in our league,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said in a statement. “I know him well from our time together in Philadelphia and I feel that his leadership skills and teaching abilities, combined with his scheme Carlos Hyde Jersey , will be a great fit for our team as we move forward.”Our own Craig Stout weighed in on Spagnuolo earlier this week in his five names to watch:The change from Sutton to Spagnuolo means the Chiefs will in all likelihood be switching to a 4-3 base, which makes you wonder if a move like this was in the cards all along. The marquee signing of inside linebacker Anthony Hitchens, as well as draft picks like Breeland Speaks and Dorian O’Daniel are seen as better fits in a 4-3 scheme.As Craig noted, statistical success has mostly eluded Spagnuolo—he produced only two top-10 units in nine seasons as either a head coach or a defensive coordinator, but in 2016 Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , the Giants were ranked No. 10 in yards allowed and No. 2 in points allowed, so it is not all bad.If anything, his blitz-heavy, 4-3 scheme will be the complete opposite of Bob Sutton’s tendencies, which is exactly what many Chiefs fans have been longing for.When you’re a receiver for Patrick Mahomes Damien Williams Jersey , “never stop running” Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media Monday morning, as the team prepares to take on the Green Bay Packers in their final preseason game Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Arrowhead Time.Based upon tendencies of Andy Reid, Mahomes won’t play in that game, meaning his preseason is over. With that being the case, I wanted to bring some attention to something special about the young quarterback—a signature I’ve found that may set him apart from his predecessor in Alex Smith.—Old friend BJ Kissel of Chiefs dot com had the opportunity to interview wide receiver Tyreek Hill after The Throw during the Chiefs’ preseason Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons (better times). One of Hill’s quotes during the interview popped:Keep running. Keep playing.On Wednesday after the game Derrick Thomas Jersey , tight end Travis Kelce was asked a similar question—his about whether he must constantly stay alert because of Mahomes’ ability to keep plays alive.And there it was again. Keep running. Keep playing.Mahomes not only has an innate ability to extend plays—he is also downright preaching that fact.I asked Mahomes about that mentality on Monday.“You have to be able to attack the whole entire field at all times,” Mahomes said. “I feel like times when you get behind the defenses they have kind of a clock in their head, and so they know the quarterback is supposed to be down and they sort of stop running, a little bit. Then I tell our receivers to keep running because I can always throw it past those guys and they can make plays. “I always tell all those guys just to keep running at all times and they could always get a chance to catch the ball.”There are no doubt going to be questions about the Chiefs defense this year. But this offense has the feel of one that will be fun to watch.
