Quote:My money is on gerhart. Mojo has had injury problems the last two years and I think that will continue. The addition of lee and robinson along with shorts, sanders/d. Rob. will force defenses to respect the passing game more which bodes well for gerhart. The problem with gerhart is that, I think the jags will us both todmen and storm johnson regularly. I watched some of johnson's games while he was at ucf and imo he's going to be good. However, the most important factor is that oakland plays a harder schedule:

 

Oakland:

jets, texans, patriots, dolphins, bye, chargers, cards, browns, sea hawks, broncos, chargers, chiefs, rams, 49ers, chiefs, bills, and broncos

 

Jags:

eagles, redskins, colts, chargers, steelers, titans, browns, dolphins, bangles, cowboys, bye, colts, giants, texans, ravens, titans, and texans

 

oakland plays a lot of teams with good defenses. Mojos best games will probably be dolphins, browns, chiefs, and bills but the rest of those teams have though defenses and i know the chiefs had a good d last year but i think they lost a couple of playmakers on that side of the ball. On the other hand, gerhart should do well verses those teams with weaker defenses. Especially that cowboy game. Imo, I think the only games where the jags will struggle running the ball will be the texans games, the ravens, and the titans. Gerhart should do well in the rest of the games.  

 

The only notable player the Chiefs lost on defense was Ty Jackson.  They replaced him with a similar player in Vance Walker to 2 gap at LDE on base and occasionally nickel rush inside.   They added (yet another) pass rusher in Dee Ford in the draft in the first round.  

 

As long as they have Poe manning the 0 tech and clogging 3 gaps, the Chiefs will defend the run extremely well.
