Chiefs Chiefs Defensive Line and Turk McBride???

kcbubb · 04-28-2009, 08:50 AM

With the selection of Tyson Jackson and Alex Magee, what does the depth chart for Chiefs defensive line look like? I know it's just best guesses this time of year, but give it your best shot. Also, how many d-lineman do they dress in the 3-4, and which lineman do you think they dress on gameday? And is it possible that they plan to use Turk McBride at OLB with Hali?

Yahoo has the depth chart listed as (obviously without Jackson and Magee):

DLE Turk McBride Wallace Gilberry
NT Tank Tyler Ron Edwards T.J. Jackson
DRE Glenn Dorsey Alfonso Boone Derek Lokey

LE Jackson Boone Turk
Tank Edwards
RE Dorsey Magee Turk

I'm thinking the RE will often line up in the gap, I'd guess Turk will mostly rotate in there.

Turk is a LBer now.

not gonna happen. one thread i read boone playing olb.

slow guys don't play linebacker. these are linemen

both Hali and McBride lined up at Linebacker at the most recent mini-camp... we'll see, but they are trying to convert him, like it or not.

According to Bob Gretz, when the media was allowed to watch individual drills McBride was working with the LBs.

LE (tight end side) Dorsey/Magee
NT - Boone/Tyler
RE (open side) Jackson/ maybe Johnson on passing downs

OLBS: Hali, McBride, Vrabel
ILBs: DJ, Thomas

Is Jackson a better pass rusher than Dorsey? or why do you have him at RE?

Probably since he played DE at LSU.

but isn't dorsey more explosive?

I guess if Matt Roth can do it for the fins at 6'4" 275 then McBride can do it too. I never thought Roth could make the transition to OLB from DE. I didn't think he was fast or athletic enough to do it.

If Hali and McBride can play OLB, I will feel much better about this draft.

According to this
http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-...ve-roster.html

it looks like we'll probably dress 6 linemen, seeing as how we need extra depth without their quality

Dorsey
Tank
Jackson
Magee
Turk
Boone/Edwards
Didn't realize this would be a tough call, if we want Edwards to back up NT Boone could be getting the axe.

True, he's a good exception. I'd be surprised if Turk is still in the 270's, although that might be right.

**The Franchise** · 04-28-2009, 09:23 AM

Jackson, Magee, McBride

Tyler, Edwards

Dorsey, Boone

Mr. Krab · 04-28-2009, 09:24 AM

Rushbacker - Vrabel,McBride,Hali (honestly don't see how Mcbride,Hali are gonna work)
RDE - Dorsey,McGee,Boone
NT - Tyler, Edwards
LDE - Jackson,Mcbride,Boone,Johnson

For some reason i thought Brian Johnson would be tried out at rushbacker. I guess not.
