Herm's done a great job. Can't get too fired up about the defensive turnaround though when you know that Gunther is still the DC. I think the improvement is based on experience and growing rather than Herm.

Well one thing Edwards did was come in and take away playing time from guys who weren't getting the job done. He axed Carlos Hall, and is sitting Ryan Simms on the bench. In their place Edwards and Reed are doing a decent job cloggin up the line of scrimmage. The addition of Tamba Hali has been good as it gives the Chiefs two ends who can create havoc and pressure the QB. Certainly the Chiefs have focused a lot of their recent drafting on defence and seem to have found a few good players. I'm excited about a young core of Allen, Johnson, and Hali.
Also see that Priest Holmes will be inactive for the entire season thanks to a hit from a juiced up cheater Shawn Merriman. But it claims he could come back next year. Would be interesting to see what he has left. But the guys worked his ass off his entire life to get where he's at, and I wouldn't bet against him doing it again to come back and be an effective player.
