Early predictions: Pro-bowlers from the D?

BigVE · 08-30-2005, 03:32 PM

What do you think? No way DJ makes it even if he has a spectacular year...too many established vets at his position around the league. I think Surtain has a good chance at making the pro-bowl INSPITE of how he looked last week. Other than those two guys who else on the D has an inkling of a chance to make the pro-bowl??

It all depends on how many games we win, and how much the defense improves (more on wins, though, I think). I would say that the best chances for the pro bowl are Bell and DJ, and Surtain and Knight/Wesley. I think Sims will play at that level, but I'm not sure what his chances of making it would be.

Yeah, I was considering those guys too. Sims would have to do it all year long and we would have to win 10+ games for him to get noticed by the voters.

BEERME....what about Scanlon?

**KC Dan** · 08-30-2005, 03:41 PM

Scanlon is a lock!

HolmeZz · 08-30-2005, 03:47 PM

Sims probably has too many DTs to compete with to probably have any shot, assuming he actually played well.

Bell, DJ, Surtain, Knight probably have the best chances.

eazyb81 · 08-30-2005, 04:02 PM

Ryan Sims........seriously..............stop laughing.

The best chance Chiefs defenders have to make the probowl is for them to have gaudy, undeniable statistics in the sack or interception area. Otherwise, they will lose to more established defenders, IMO. I think Kendrell Bell could have a relatively high sack total if he plays the whole season. I think DJ could have a nice combination of sacks and interceptions.

**Rain Man** · 08-30-2005, 05:28 PM

I think our best bet is Knight. Based on past performance, a good safety in our defense can run up gaudy tackle numbers, for reasons we all know.

Next most likely is Surtain, followed by Johnson, Bell, Wesley, and Sims.

I think the odds are about 10% that we'll have one pro bowler, and 3% that we'll have two or more.

Rain Man is jealous that he didn't get to post his "Chiefs D Pro Bowlers" poll.

**Rain Man** · 08-30-2005, 05:33 PM

Is it too late? Dang.

What?

You mean others around the league don't pay attention to preseason games? It's just us?!?!? WTF?!

Sad numbers, but probably true. Ok then, if THAT is the best we can hope for on the defensive side then WHAT do we REALLY have? How much can we honestly expect? I know you dont have to have a team full of pro-bowlers to do well but it certainly helps and if you only have 1 or maybe two then the pickens' is slim.

**Dunit35** · 08-30-2005, 07:02 PM

I could see Surtain, DJ, Bell (maybe), Knight, Warfield(if it wasnt for his 4 game suspension)...and Sims as a alternate...

jspchief · 08-30-2005, 07:11 PM

No one.

After watching the Buffalo D play this weekend's game, I've come to the realization that Chiefs fans don't remember what good defensive play looks like. We're so accustomed to really bad, that even run of the mill plays look special.

This D has a long way to come.
