Allen Bailey, KC Chiefs DE, aiming for 10+ sack season

KC Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey says he's aiming for 10-plus sacks this season.

Allen Bailey has been a bit of a forgotten man in the Kansas City Chiefs defense. The third-year defensive end came into the league the same year as Justin Houston but it's been Houston, not Bailey, who has made a leap as a pass rusher.

Don't tell that to Bailey, though. He said on this podcast, The Trapasso Report, that his goal is a 10-plus sack season.

"Of course staying healthy," Bailey said when asked his goals for the 2013 season. "Then try to get a 10-plus sack season. Rolling into my third year, with a new defense that's more of an attack defense that allows you to make a lot more plays, I'm setting myself up with a 10-plus sack season."

Bailey has one career sack so that would be one hell of a jump if he surpassed 10 sacks. Tamba Hali and Justin Houston rushing from the edges, Allen Bailey putting up 10 sacks ... now THAT would be a hell of a defense.

He needs to be more ambitious like, for example, Greg Hardy of the Panthers:

Greg Hardy: Aiming for 50 sacks

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- This is going to sound outrageous, but that shouldn’t be a surprise when you consider it’s coming from Greg Hardy.

The defensive end for the Carolina Panthers was asked Tuesday if he had a goal for the number of sacks he’ll register this season.

“Fifty," Hardy said during a break between minicamp practices. “Why shoot low, right? If I’m going to shoot at it, I’m going to shoot at it with a 50 caliber. I’m going to shoot at a little bird with a 50-caliber bullet. That’s the goal for this year, 50 sacks, that’s where I’m at. That’s the goal, 50. You heard it first."

Yeah, that sounds more than a little ridiculous. But give Hardy, who had 11 sacks last season, credit for having confidence in himself and the rest of the defensive line.

“Our D-line is about getting money and not like you all are thinking," Hardy said. "Just everybody winning. If the tackles are getting it, that means they’ve got to block them now and while they’re blocking them, I’m sneaking in the backdoor and taking everything. It’s the type of situation where we want everybody to win -- the young guys, the new guys, the old guys. It was the same way last year. That’s how we got to RG III [Redskins QB Robert Griffin III], that’s how we got to Chicago, all those guys. Just breeding confidence into all of the defensive linemen and letting them know they can win."

Speaking of money, Hardy did talk about his contract situation. His absence from several recent OTAs had led to speculation that he was making a statement he wants a new contract. His current one is scheduled to run out after the season.

But Hardy said he has no plans to hold out during training camp.

“Yeah, I will be there bright and early, same as always,’’ Hardy said.

Ok, name a couple of rotational D linemen in a 3-4 that have accomplished this.

I would say that Bailey has a better shot at 10 sacks.

Alos, did his breakout season occur while playing for the NFL's worst team?

Well, actually, he only had 9 sacks, so, that isn't one example.

TambaBerry · 06-18-2013, 10:09 AM

he had 9 sacks

nychief · 06-18-2013, 10:11 AM
