Chiefs Linebacker Corp

royr17 · 04-29-2005, 08:04 PM

Its loaded this year with talent. At Outside Linebacker we have Scott Fujita, Shawn Barber, Derrick Johnson, Keyaron Fox, and Quinton Caver.

At Middle Linebacker we have Kendrell Bell, Mike Maslowski, Kawika Mitchell, Rich Scanlon, and James "Boomer" Grigsby.

Derrick Johnson is goin to end up bein a steal for the chiefs I feel, and im concerned about the ROLB position.

Now I feel our starters are goin to be Derrick Johnson at LOLB, and Kendrell Bell at MLB. But not sure about the ROLB position yet.

Last year when we drafted Keyaron Fox, Gun had said he reminded him of a young Donnie Edwards. Now im not saying he is. But I pulled up some info on this kid and of 35 or 45 games he started he had a total of 376 career tackles.

Now if you ask me thats a pretty good total. But if I had to choose between who would start I would love a LB core of DJ, Bell, and Fox. All are very fast, can tackle, and could be a very dominant linebacking core.

So tell me guys how would you feel about Keyaron Fox starting, I mean i know he didnt show anything last year, but he's had a whole offseason to improve, and If im not mistaken he was pretty damn good player for Georgia Tech when he played there.

That list is wrong. As of right now Bell is slotted as an OLB.

Well I have Bell projected where he belongs which is in the Middle.

Maz is gone IMO. Barber could be on his way out too. Scanlon IMO spends another year on the PS.

Caver I have never been impressed with. He has the physical tools to be a pro bowler but it's like he has a head full of rocks. I hope they say bye-bye to him.

Derrick Johnson IMO will be the ROLB, backed up by Mitchell and Key Fox. Bell will fill the middle, with Mitchell as b/u. Fujita will be healthy and start at LOLB backed up by Key Fox.

I think Grigsby will make the team based on his physical quickness and will be the last LB on the roster they carry. That is of course depending on how fast he picks up the playbook. probaly end up one of those guys that doesn't make the game day roster unless there are injuries.

I'm looking at...

LOLB:Fujita/Fox
MLB: Bell/Mitchell/Grigsby
ROLB:Johnson/Mitchell

It's not sexy but, sexy isn't what they need.

what the hell does that mean... sounds like a crappy WWII movie line, like the dirty dozen.

"I don't need the best 12 SOLDIERS that you have, I need best five men!"

"You can't be serious about taking this riffraff into battle?"

"They may not be sexy, but sexy isn't what I need! lets go soldiers!"

The core would be Bell.

The corps would be all 3 starters.

I think it's a little early to determine starters. We should at least wait until they have a mini-camp out of the way.

And the corpse would be Rich Scanlon after the Roys finally snap and go Mark David Chapman on him.

I just think Fox has tremendous talent that we havent see be released yet cause gun was mad at him about his ability to not shed blocks, that bein the case he's had since the season has got over to fix that, and I would imagine that Gun has been working with him on that.

Why do you think Fox has tremendous talent? Have you ever seen him play?
