The Chiefs aren't a playoff team. They're not a division winning team. They may not have a winning record. Defending this piece of shit team is dumb. |

I think the defense can be improved in under two years if they abandon the 3-4.
Second season in a row it's collapsed. Can't stop the run and can't stop the pass very well either. Poe isn't rotated out of NT because there isn't any one better behind him on the chart. If that kind of guy is that critical to the defense working to the point you can't pull him out of the game then it's probably time to look elsewhere scheme wise. Then consider Houston and Hali's contact situation. The Chiefs will have to dedicate a lot of money to keep both and the foregone conclusion here is that Hali gets jettisoned. Ford looks like a long term project at this point. He's not ready to replace Hali. Adding to this is the loss of DJ and Berry at their positions. ILB is the easier spot to replace in theory but Berry was asked to be a run stuffer, blitzer and coverage safety. Seems to me that sticking with the 3-4 will tie the defense's hands in terms of being effective unless big moves are made in FA and or through getting extremely lucky in the draft. So why stick with it then if KC looks to enter the season with only one good OLB, no good healthy ILBs, a fatigued NT, and no jack of all trades safety that the defense apparently needs to look halfway decent?

We legitimately have two guys that are the best at their respective positions in the 3-4 in Houston and Poe. Scrapping the scheme at this point would be idiotic. |

How effective is the 3-4 if Houston is the only pass rushing threat?

Maybe Wallcrawler would like to pass time by for the rest of the season by watching Jerry Rice footage.
I just advise that he stays away from his rookie year, 1992-1993, and 1997-99. You are bound to see some embarrassing dropped passes by Rice. |

How effective is any philosophy if you don't have the talent?...

That's my point. KC is behind the 85 all personnel wise trying to patch together the 3-4 to make it work..

This defense isn't the problem. With no Berry, no DJ, and a rookie at CB we held Denver under 30. We had a sack/fumble and could have had two INT's. Our offense turned the ball over. Kelcee and Charles probably didn't break a sweat. Our offensive line $3it the bed...

The defense isn't very good if it's giving up 150+ rushing yards.
It's giving up so many yards because there's no DJ, Berry and Poe can't be taken off the field.

He is constantly re-routed and stood up by single linemen. They run right at the guy. He's a 43 DT or should be used as an end in our 34, but he's not a 34 NT. |

It has everything to do with the lack of talent and a coordinator that seemingly doesn't understand the concept of giving guys breathers. We have, arguably, the best 3-4 OLB and NT in the league. Who do we have that we know for a fact could play as effectively as they do in the 4-3? Not a damned body. DJ and Hali were both just decent in the 4-3. I have no doubts that Houston and Poe could be pretty good because they're that talented, but switching the scheme when you've already got the two most important pieces would be just as idiotic as you suggesting we trade the two. The bottom line is we've got two great defenders now that we've lost DJ and Berry. Hali and Bailey are pretty good. Other than that, we've got dog shit. |

Whatever the draft is strong in, we will ignore that position. That's what Dorsey does.
