None of us know if this DL has any pass rushers because Romeo Crennel ran a 3-4 two gap stand up read and reach defense that blitzed less than 20% of the downs. I suspect we will see the Chiefs have much more ability to pass rush from the DL then any of us realized. Going to a 3-4 one gap penetrating defense is a whole different beast.
This is why I hated Crennel as a DC as much as I hated Daboll as an OC. Both schemes sucked more than any system the Chiefs have deployed in their history. Even the days of Marv Levy and the Wing-T were better than the schemes deployed on offense and defense last year. The players act as much relieved as excited by the change. We may even see Tyson Jackson turn into a beast.
