We can chalk that up to a number of things, poor special teams coverage, horrible punting, a few big runs were ripped off and put the other team deep in our territority on numerous occasions. But I ,for one, don't think that this offense will change drastically and morph into 'Air Corryell' overnight. We'll be more effecient offensively, but I think the special teams, of all the units, absolutely must have a stellar year for us to have a chance.

Randle El will be an upgrade and should get us better field position. The punting needs to improve.

I think the most most important addition that Saunders will provide is his ability to mix up the plays to keep the defense guessing. I have a friend who is a Chiefs fan and he says, after several years of watching the Chiefs under Saunders, even he has a hard time figuring out what play is coming next.
