Tank replaces Edwards in Starting lineup
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/142
Another defensive lineup change Tank Tyler replaced Ron Edwards as a starting defensive tackle in practice today, marking the second lineup change on the line and the third on the defense since the start of training camp. Edwards has been a solid if unspectacular run defender since he joined the Chiefs two years ago. But the Chiefs believe that Tyler, in his second season, has more potential and has earned the spot. Edwards will play as part of the defensive line rotation. The Chiefs now line up with Tyler and Glenn Dorsey at tackle and Tamba Hali and Turk McBride at end. Hali, in his third season, is the senior member of the group. Alfonso Boone, who was displaced as the starting left end early in camp by McBride, comes in at tackle on obvious passing downs, replacing Tyler. The Chiefs also replaced middle linebacker Napoleon Harris with Pat Thomas. |

It doesn't really matter who's starting. We're going to have one hell of a DT rotation this year with Edwards and Boone coming off the bench.

Hali...Dorsey...Tyler...McBride
At least we're going to see what we've got with this line. I'm tired of seeing Edwards starting. Boone is a great backup too. |

Wow. All drafted in the last 3 yrs. Feels good. The best way to get better is by playing.
I think Tyler will be a force by his 3rd season. |

God knows they're going to get their chances with Dorsey being double-teamed on every play.

Stunts out the wazoo. Watch Ryan Clady get his ass kicked by Dorsey this year.

Ironically, it seems to me that this was what most of us were calling for when they tried to blow the "Boone is a starting DE" smoke up our arses.
