Chiefs Bringing back the Falcon?

**Rain Man** · 04-26-2008, 10:33 PM

We have about 18 defensive tackles now, and 1 defensive end. Would you consider putting three bison on the front line - Dorsey, Tank, Boone, Turk, Edwards, etc. - with Tamba coming in on passing downs (or maybe even more often as an active inside linebacker)? We could draft Dan Connor, Highsmith, Adibi, etc., in the third round to beef up our shallow linebacking corps. In this case, we would rely on Tamba, DJ, and maybe Donnie to provide our pass rush.

Recall that Gunther has run a 3-4 before. I don't like the 3-4, but I'm worried about our lack of DE's.

Eh, I think we are set up great to run a true Tampa 2 scheme now. Dorsey/Boone at 3-Tech and Edwards/Tank at NT, Hali at RDE and Turk at LDE (I don't believe the Boone at LDE talk for a second). No, that's not the best D-line in the league, but it's a great starting point.

We have some speedy LBs and a decent secondary. I like what we're doing so far.

Not happening. Herm has been 4-3 his entire coaching career.

**Rain Man** · 04-26-2008, 10:37 PM

I'm primarily just bored.

Hammock Parties · 04-26-2008, 10:39 PM

Then savagely beat your boredom away.

Dantrell Savage would be proud of that quote.

We don't have the personnel to run a 3-4 either. And playing Dorsey in the 3-4 is a complete waste of his talents.

won't happen but I appraicte you thinking outside the box, wouldn't be bad for throwing out a different look from time to time just to keep the O on their heels.

stlchiefs · 04-26-2008, 10:51 PM

The savage beating option was just too good to pass up. I couldn't even consider the others.

ClevelandBronco · 04-26-2008, 10:54 PM

It makes some sense. Overweight hosses in the three front spots (but who's the middle guy?), and a fine set of LBs with the chance to get Connor to back the scheme up.

Coaching is a problem, but assistants are replaceable.

**jjchieffan** · 04-26-2008, 10:57 PM

I had thought about the falcon myself, if we had drafted Gholston. I thought he would be perfect for the position.

KCChiefsMan · 04-26-2008, 11:54 PM

I dunno

**Mr. Kotter** · 04-26-2008, 11:56 PM

I predict we draft two DEs tomorrow....one early.

And we flirt with DEs released after June 1.

JMHO
