How the hell do you expect to generate inside pressure on obvious passing downs when your 3rd and long defense includes a 3 man line with Jimmy Wilkerson at NT?
The Chiefs base package includes Dalton at NT and Browning at 3-technique at the DT position in the 4-3. On passing downs Dalton always leaves and sometimes both of them leave. Wilkerson comes in, sometimes as the only tackle, and Carlos Hall often comes in at end.
Don't get me wrong I like Wilkerson but he's not a NT in a 3 man line. People wanna bitch about Carlos Hall being ineffective but when Hall is in the game on 3rd downs he doesn't have a chance because of the defense being run.
The only thing that should change on 3rd downs is shift Allen to the left to replace Hicks and bring Hall in at RE.
I understand Dalton needs an occassional break but as much as anything else this defensive line is not effective getting presure because of the way it's being called by the staff.
