Will Gunther give the Bolts a different defensive look?

siberian khatru · 10-24-2005, 11:13 AM

With DV saying that Warfield will start, will Gun finally play a lot more man press at the corners and blitz Bell and/or DJ more?

It seems that this would be a good time to put a few wrinkles in: extra day of practice (thanks, Tags!), Warfield back, huge game on the road vs. division rival to spring a surprise on.

Thoughts?

It would be a good idea. I think Kendrell Bell and DJ need to used in rushing the passer much more often.

Against Miami, we seemed to be a much more aggressive defense. Hopefully, that's a sign of what's to come with our D.

We played a lot of press against Miami. probably at least 75% of the time we had at least Warfield pressing.

As for blitzing, that's a scary thing to do vs a team with a great pass catching TE and RB. If we don't get there, LT2 and Gates could shred us.

I thought the D-line got good push against Miami, but the Dolphins O-line is pretty bad.

This defense seems to be trying to find an identity. We're running 4-3, 3-4 and even 4-4-3 right now.

I'd like to see us mix it up and blitz LESS...

I have no problem with that, as long as our front four keep getting the pressure they have......

I didn't see the Philly/SD game. What did Philly do? Alot of run blitz or what. Because they shut LT down and Gates didn't do much 'til the end.

chiefqueen · 10-24-2005, 11:38 AM

When you have a passer with Ferrotte's accuracy (or, should I say, lack of accuracy) one can afford to take chances on D.

Chieftain58 · 10-24-2005, 11:40 AM

I would like to see Johnson and Holmes in the backfield at the same time!

The Chiefs blitzed Miami more because Frerotte isn't good, their receivers are about like ours, and the oline isn't great. We could afford to.

That said, I think we will seem DJ and Bell blitzing more with Surtain and Warfield manned up.

Philly blitzed alot.. I couldn't tell you if they were run blitzes or not, but it seemed like they were sending someone on every play.

Philly blitzed, alot. It worked, alot.

a lot is two words, not one as in "alot".

DJ can take Gates 1 on 1.
With our secondary now intact we can take away their receivers.
Bell is a useless fat-@ss unless he blitzes (and even then he's still a fat-@ss).
We will blitz and we will win. 34-17

KChiefsQT · 10-24-2005, 12:52 PM

hopeful. Blitz more and blitz often. I wanna knock bree's socks off next week. And as for a LT, keeping him under 50 yards rushing would be ideal.

Hoover · 10-24-2005, 01:03 PM

I would like to see us come out in the 3-4
