Update from @mortreport: Cards visit with Andy Reid is off, Chiefs have not scheduled other visits with candidates, hoping to wrap deal Fri.

I don't think there's any doubt they'll go back to a 4-3

I have a hunch we're going 4-3. DJ will be just fine in this role.

Then we have to find a Will. Those guys are almost always 1st or 2nd rounders. What a waste when we can already field a defense and use those picks on the offense.

JFC. You think JJ Watt is your typical 3-4 DE? That's like saying every 5-technique needs to be Richard Seymour.

Who are all the other 3-techniques in a 3-4? You can have a very good defense if your 3-4 DE is Aaron Smith or Brett Keisel. These aren't guys that are hard to find.

God Bailey sucks. He couldnt do shit this year. He looked like he was coming on as a pass rusher late last year

[O.city]

Margus hunt is the next Jk watt



And you don't "have" to have that. You need a keisel or ziggy hood.

Yeah I saw that. I do like that idea more. The concern I would have is that we have 3 guys on that dline we don't know for sure will work. I guess either way our dlineman are going to be the question marks one way or another.

I think DJ can probably play any LB position in any defense.

That still doesn't put anyone next to him except Siler who can at best be a depth MLB in 4-3. Who else we gonna trot out there? Studebaker? Nope, hes a backup DE or a camp casualty in 4-3.

That's just ****ing crazy. 6 or 7 teams play a 1-gap 30 or hybrid and only 1 of them have a JJ Watt.

Bailey likely can. And I'm pointing out that I'd rather look for a 1-gap DE than find a top-notch DT starter. Know how I know that? Look at how much Aaron Smith, one of the better 3-4 DEs in the game gets paid vs. what any top tier DT gets paid.

JJ Watt is a beast no matter the scheme. He was a 43 beast at Wisconsin. He's a freak

Yeah, but again, you're talking about a guy who has shown flashes of being an absolute stud in a 3-4 vs. moving to a 4-3 where he's played marginal, mostly because he played so inconsistently.

[PGM]

Heh. Love it when Walrus whips out his PFFcock and owns.

[O.city]

Like with the coaching spot and gm, lets just wait and see what happens for we attack each other.


This is a special time in chiefs history lets just enjoy

[O.city]

Why? Based on what?

He has no get off, no moves, no quickness.

He sucks.
