Chiefs Does D. Johnson fit on a 3-4 D? Hali too..... - Page 2

bowener · 02:55 PM

I am in need of some enlightenment.

He doesn't seem like he relishes contact, so I do not see him as the ILB that sheds the block at the LOS and takes down the RB at or behind the line. He also seems a little smaller than typical for the OLB position.

Am I completely wrong on those assertions? I just need some knowledge.

Also, is it possible we trade him? He has under performed, as did all of the Chiefs defenses in the last decade, but his contract is up pretty soon.

I was wondering if it was a suitable idea to trade him for a draft pick, or an up-and-coming no namer LB (plus picks)?

Well, please educate me on these matters. I need to go get some beer now.

edit: WTF does Hali do now? Nothing as usual? Beef up and play DE? Leave?

Tamba is done here. He might fit as a 3-4 end but I doubt it.

I'd think OLB would be his best "gamble" in a 3-4, questions would be coverage, athletic ablility to make the change. IDK

Nope Hali would really struggle in that move. His best shot would be a 3rd down passrusher as a 3-4 end.

DJ will make a good inside backer. Hali will make a poor OLB.

There's no move he won't struggle with.. Maybe a dime-package 3-4 end but I doubt even that. I wonder if he has any trade value, maybe a 3rd or 4th?

yep, he might finally fulfill his potential there.

I would just be happy with consistently adequate....and I just can't see Hali playing anywhere in the 3-4 either, he is probly done here

**Rain Man** · 02-27-2009, 04:11 PM

I think Derrick Johnson would be a good OLB, and that Dorsey could be a good DE in a 3-4.

My initial thinking was that Hali was out of luck, but when we think about Hali, what are his strengths? He consistently moves to the ball and is very active. His weakness is shedding blocks. I think he could be a large ILB in a 3-4, a la those big Steeler 'backers of the past 15 years.

Hasn't Turk McBride been out of place since we drafted him? Isn't he a 3-4 DE? Boone might be too old now, but a few years back he could have been a perfect 3-4 DE... he might still have a little bit left in the tank. As for Hali... his best bet is probably at DE.

You're faster than Hali, Rain Man. He's not going to be able to cover anyone or show the necessary lateral quickness and speed.

As much as I want to, it wouldn't be right. Everyone has a right to talk about football, no matter their number of chromosomes.

DJ at OLB is just crazy talk. The biggest weakness in his game is taking on blockers, he can't play OLB in the 3-4. But put him next to a run stuffer and he can play ILB.
