Kamerion Wimbley To Chiefs? Pass Rusher Predicted As Kansas City's Next Free Agent

[Dave Lane]

Oh Peyton....

Now with video and repost police fuck off I looked on pages 1 and 2 and don't care if its buried somewhere. Watch the video and make it happen Pioli!

The Kansas City Chiefs have already been listed as one of the early winners of the NFL free agency period with the addition of five players to the team. Now they might be adding a sixth and it could be one of the most important of all.

The Chiefs have already bolstered the right side of the line with Eric Winston to address the biggest need. Kamerion Wimbley might help with the team’s other great need for a pass rush. Tamba Hali holds the fort down at one outside linebacker position and Justin Houston came on strong at the end, but overall the Chiefs were near the bottom of the NFL rankings in team sacks and they have to get better this offseason.

Adding Wimbley would help and Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk predicts that he could land with the Chiefs as their newest free agent. The team has already signed WInston, Stanford Routt, Kevin Boss, Peyton Hillis and Brady Quinn. Wimbley would be another feather in Scott Pioli’s cap this offseason.

Wimbley has 42.5 sacks in his six NFL seasons, averaging just over 7 sacks each year. He had 7 sacks last year for the Oakland Raiders, but he played his first few years for Romeo Crennel in Cleveland. The roots are here with the team’s coaching staff and the need is here as well. Whether it’s a financial or schematic fit is another thing, but Florio thinks it will work.

[Imon Yourside]

Get it done Pioli!!!!

[Bowser]

Like good corners, a team cannot have too many pass rushers.

The question is, what do you do with Justin Houston? Move him inside next to DJ? Sit him except for passing downs? GO with three of your four linebackers being pass rushers?

[The Franchise]

Wimbley has a visit scheduled with the Titans today.

I don't see them letting him leave.

[Dave Lane]

Starring Matt Cassel, Philip Rivers, Barry Richardson, Mark Sanchez and the usual suspects...

[King_Chief_Fan]

let's get him!

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Get him Pioli!

[evolve27]

He would be a solid pick up

[mcaj22]

Clark and the Piolo have to start spending now to convince the fanbase they are going to compete in the division.

Wimbley and any secondary help is a good start

[The Franchise]

Seriously though......Hali, Wimbley and Houston would be fucking epic.

[RealSNR]

So we got the Raidersification of the Chiefs.

And the Brownsification of the Chiefs.

Poop humor experts do your thing!

[Rain Man]

Yep, bring him in. Pass rushers will soon be flocking to the AFC West like hyenas to a downed wildebeest.

[KCrockaholic]

Do it Pioli! Get this defense fuckin stacked and killed that smashed faced fucker in Denver.

[Dave Lane]

And there's a tree connection, he played for RC .

[Micjones]

Is this just speculation because Crennel formerly coached Wimbley or does is he actually being rumored to visit Kansas City?
I know he's due in Tennessee today.

I'd love to have him, but something tells me he's gonna get a big contract.
Can we really afford him?

I'd prefer we went out and addressed the NT position.

[Bowser]

Seriously though......Hali, Wimbley and Houston would be fucking epic.

I'd love it on second and third and longs, but we could potentially get murdered by dumpoffs and screens with those guys, too.

[O.city]

Sign him up.


It's not like Houston and Hali are gonna be on the field every span anyway. Depth, especially solid depth is never a bad thing.

With Wimbley you could run out some pretty nasty packages.

[Titty Meat]

Like good corners, a team cannot have too many pass rushers.

The question is, what do you do with Justin Houston? Move him inside next to DJ? Sit him except for passing downs? GO with three of your four linebackers being pass rushers?

Yeah play Houston on obvious passing downs and use Tamba as a roamer.

[suds79]

I'd be pretty pumped if they landed this guy.

You talk about having all the tools in place for a really good team.

[Dave Lane]

I'd be pretty pumped if they landed this guy.

You talk about having all the tools in place for a really good team.

I might have to kiss Pioli's ring if he pulls this off.

Yes we can afford him.

[The Franchise]

We've got about $15 million of salary cap room left. Take away $5 million for the rookies and we're sitting at $10 to make more moves.

I really wish they'd work out a contract with Bowe. That would free up some more room.

[TEX]

He would be a solid pick up

Yes. But he's not all that...

[Micjones]

Yes we can afford him.

We're working with around $10m. We still haven't address the Nose Tackle position and I'm certain that Pioli will want to keep $3-4 million available for June cuts and in-season transactions.

[Rain Man]

I'd be pretty pumped if they landed this guy.

You talk about having all the tools but the most important one in place for a really good team.


Slight edit for accuracy. But I'd still like to sign Wimbley, now more than ever.

[Titty Meat]

15 million is plenty of money.

[Sofa King]

We've got about $15 million of salary cap room left. Take away $5 million for the rookies and we're sitting at $10 to make more moves.

I really wish they'd work out a contract with Bowe. That would free up some more room.

I keep seeing that the 5 mil for rookies is already off of that number. Leaving us with our 15 million.

[O.city]

We have 15 million, without even restructuring any deals.


If we really want this guy, we can get him.

[The Franchise]

I keep seeing that the 5 mil for rookies is already off of that number. Leaving us with our 15 million.

Well fuck then.....go get Wimbley.

[Brock]

Glad to hear of this. it should be obvious that teams can't have too many pass rushers.

[Micjones]

Well **** then.....go get Wimbley.

If that's true...I agree.

[Dave Lane]

Slight edit for accuracy. But I'd still like to sign Wimbley, now more than ever.

Yep its an arms races in the AFC West all of a sudden.

[The Bad Guy]

Rookie's aren't going to cost 5 million on the cap, more around 3.5.

[Mr. Laz]

time to start recruiting Wimbley on twitter people

[O.city]

Looks like the Chiefs FO is trying to get it's rep back up. Apparently went all out on Winston.


Get Wimbley in here and do the same.

So basically it's just speculation that the Chiefs would be interested because he was drafted by Crennel.

[mlyonsd]

I seriously doubt we get him.

[Dave Lane]

Ask the Giants if having too many pass rushers is a problem.

[The Franchise]

He'll probably end up signing with the Titans. They missed out on Mario and they need DEs.

[ModSocks]

Hell no.

Then I can't see the Chiefs going after him.

His contract would be too big for a player who'll be splitting time with Hali and Houston....Nor would he want to come here if he's not a full time starter.

[Simplicity]

What is Michael Huff doing? Did they release him yet or he still a Raiduh?
and this monster would look good in Red and Gold:

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!

[Chiefs Pantalones]

The more pass rushers, the better.

[Bump]

our only chance this year is if our defense goes 2000 Ravens on everybody. I'm all for Wimbley

[scho63]

Like good corners, a team cannot have too many pass rushers.

The question is, what do you do with Justin Houston? Move him inside next to DJ? Sit him except for passing downs? GO with three of your four linebackers being pass rushers?

I think all our LB's are good tacklers against the run unlike Derrick Thomas and Wembley is pretty good as well I believe

[BigChiefFan]

Wimbley could help bring another dimension to our defense. Berry is an excellent blitzer, as well, in addition to the other players mentioned previously. Offenses would have to account for alot of players on blitzing plays.

I'd trade Wimbley for Gilberry in a heartbeat.

[Mr. Laz]

Unless Crennel can explain to Wimbley about how he plans to use everyone so that Wimbley will still get his snaps, i doubt he'll come here.

Do you tell Wimbley that he will start in Houston's spot and then use Houston in the special packages?

Do you create a new package where Wimbley,Hali and Houston are all included?

Tell Wimbley that he will rotate with Hali AND Houston so that he is on the field a lot?

That's all well and good but you still have to convince a FA player to come here.

[Mr. Laz]

Yeah for sure.

The easiest way is to just tell him he is going to start instead of Houston.

Then you have to go about reassuring Houston that he will still get plenty of snaps in all these special packages.

I agree 100%, people acted like wherever Manning went they were automatic Superbowl bids. May I remind people that he has yet to show that his neck can take any hits, how long he will last when he starts taking hits is yet to be seen. The whole league knows of his neck issue, and he is going to be targeted, guarantee that.

[ForeverChiefs58]

When the season ended, I thought it would be very difficult to watch this team with Cassel at QB again.

The thought of our defense being so dominate once again though has really got me excited to watch Chiefs football again.

In a wierd way I am also excited the Doncos got Manning. It pisses me off he wouldn't even give us the respect of a visit, so I can't wait to see our defense crush him and ruin his legacy.

Frankly, I look forward to the day when winning our division means being able to hang with any team in the league.

That will change the first time Manning goes Elway on us and every time afterwards. Our defense lost a very good CB. But, I do understand that beating Denver with BLOCK HEAD will mean much more than it did when they had Jesus...

Chiefs hope to meet with former Raiders DE Wimbley







16 minutes ago - by Bob Gretz


The Chiefs are still hoping to get a meeting in the next day or so with DE Kamerion Wimbley, who was released late last week by the Raiders. Wimbley broke into the NFL with the Browns when Romeo Crennel was the head coach in Cleveland. Depth at defensive end and pass rushing are two items that are still on the Chiefs off-season wish list.

[ChiefMojo]

I think Wimbley is a very important piece of the puzzle to making our defense elite. A added pass rusher and more depth at that OLB position, more depth at FS and possibly a top flight NT. Sure we could draft someone like Kuechly to upgrade the ILB talent as well.

With Wimbley available and someone like Aubrayo Franklin (if not asking for to much), those would be wise pick-ups in FA instead of drafting. We would get a elite pass rusher and a good NT. Houston would provide very good depth behind Wimbley.

[BoneKrusher]

yeah.
he and Tamba could keep Manning on his bottom side.

[TheGuardian]

Wimbley, Tamba, and Houson would give us one of the best pass rushes in the entire NFL.

Add Berry back and this is a top 3-5 defense.

[Micjones]

He better not be done just yet. He needs to get KC a PASS RUSH because Manning will KILL us without one. This needs to be the PRIORITY now.

In the last three games he's played against the Chiefs he's thrown 1 TD and 5 INT's.
And that was a completely healthy Manning. In fact, he hasn't had a big game against us since 2004.

I think we'll be okay.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

In the last two games he's played against the Chiefs he's thrown 0 TD's and 2 picks. And that was a completely healthy Manning.

Yes , this! Manning doesn't scare me . denver is setting themselves up to be even more suckish . They are blowing their money on a one man team.

I don't think Studebaker really has the closing speed to be as effective as Wimbley would be as a pass-rusher.

[SDKCCHIEFS]

Yeh. I understand that, just sayin that he has shown he can be some-what effective so hopefully if we are stuck with him , he can contribute to a dozen snaps or so.

Berry.

[Chiefs=Champions]

This is the 3-4 You can only really play 2 OLBs on passing downs. You want to get an extra pass rusher? Then go ahead and get a guy who can play with his hand on the ground.

[Chiefs=Champions]

Bottom line is i dont really want a player to take snaps away from Houston. Can Wimbley play inside? Thats the only way i can see Wimbley, Houston and Tamba being utilized on a particular down..

[MIAdragon]

Berry.

good god Berry was awful in coverage.

[TheGuardian]

This is the 3-4 You can only really play 2 OLBs on passing downs. You want to get an extra pass rusher? Then go ahead and get a guy who can play with his hand on the ground.

You can never have enough pass rushers. For one, when we go into nickel and dime we need guys who can rush with their hand on the ground. In a 30 front Wimbley can still play "end" with Houston on the outside and that will give tackles shit fits. Now you're leaving a god damn back in the back field to pick up either Tamba OR whoever gets free on Houston/Wimbley's side.

he's played on 34 teams and on 43 teams. He can play standing OLBer or DE. Take your pick

pretty big problem imo

DJ is the only guy decent in coverage out of the linebackers and both of our safeties are weak in coverage.

now Berry was improving so i think he might be able to do it.

I haven't seen Lewis do anything except for playing centerfield. Coverage and run support is pretty stank.

[xztop12]

2-4-5

[Mr. Laz]

If you are Wimbley do you sign with a team where you are a part time specialist?

I doubt it.

Damn dude did you pay attention to the games last year? We use a 4-3 subpackage where Wimbley could line up as a d-end.

yer. my point was we need guys who can do that. CAN Wimbley play with his hand in the dirt? If he can, then go for it..

Easier to do in a 4-3. IF Wimbley can effectively rush from the end position in the sub package, then by all means sign him, if he cant then its a stupid signing.

We really have no choice now. So Wimbley is a must IMHO:shrug:

And does the PM signing with Denver change the Chiefs draft strategy that makes the D even more a priority in the first rd. Stretching for that NT or LB?

There is no reason you can't have Wimbley, Houston and Hali on the field at once. Remember Hali excels in the Falcon role.

Dude is a fucking ANIMAL! Sign him motherfucker!!!

[Dave Lane]

Sign me up then.

You saw the raiders fan response no?

[Chiefs=Champions]

You saw the raiders fan response no?

Tbh im not to well versed with Wimbley, People have filled me in and now im on board. My main worry was fitting him into OUR scheme so that Houston wouldnt be on the bench. It does help to see raider fans squirm at the possibility of him coming here though :D

How does Wimbley grade out at PFF?

[Titty Meat]

How does Wimbley grade out at PFF?

Very good. 24.4 He'd be the highest graded player we've signed.

[DJ's left nut]

So correct me if I'm wrong:

In theory - any down where Gilberry was on the field last year, we would probably have Wimbley instead?

Some folks that know more about line play than me seem to believe that Wimbley can play with his hand on the ground, so I'll defer to them - but he looks a little undersized for the role to me. Ultimately I see him as a guy that would be a nice add, but perhaps a bit of a luxury to a team that still has a hole at NT and more pressing depth issues at safety (oh yeah, and Cassel at QB, but moving on...)

If this in any way hinders Houston's development, I don't want it. Houston could be a star in this league, IMO. If we bring in Wimbley, I hope we use him in a manner that doesn't interfere with Houston's growth.

[Dave Lane]

DJ ask the Giants about having too many pass rushers.

[Titty Meat]

Wimbley played D-end at Florida State and also interviewed with the Titans who run a 4-3. He's a classic hybrid.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Very good. 24.4 He'd be the highest graded player we've signed.

Where do the other guys we just signed rank?

[mcaj22]

a lot of homers on this forum for Justin Houston to be this god send savior. I've never seen a place call a guy a god based on a 3 game improvement sample

yeah he has potential but holy shit he's not that good. If you can get a guy like Wimbley to upgrade and compete, you do it.

[DJ's left nut]

There is no reason you can't have Wimbley, Houston and Hali on the field at once. Remember Hali excels in the Falcon role.

There's a good solution.

Hali has the strength to be a very effective DE with his hand on the ground (obviously).

And really, given another year on an NFL strength program, Houston might be decent in that role as well. Having them rotate roles, so to speak, would create nightmare scenarios in passing situations.

He'd still be more of a sub-package guy, but Romeo could definitely do some neat !@#$ with Wimbley.

[Dave Lane]

Drop Dorsey out on passing downs and send Houston, Hali and Wimbley all at once. No more Manning. Throw a Berry blitz in with this once in a while and the QB will have 2 seconds to get rid of the ball.

[Chiefs=Champions]

THIS

[Titty Meat]

I'm thinking if you put all 3 on the field Hali would be used standing up in a roamer type of role. Isn't that how DT was used at times too?

[Mr. Laz]

Fucking A. If this moves Houston to the bench its fucking stupid.
It pretty much would have to move Houston to the bench, at least for appearance purposes.

Wimbley isn't going to sign as a role player imo

Wimbley would be our starting SOLB and Houston would have to get his snaps in the special packages.

listen ... i want Wimbley too but we have to be realistic about getting the guys signed too.

[Titty Meat]

Justin Houston is a very good player. He's just not a complete player yet.

We can afford Wimbley and pass rush is a need for this team. If we don't sign Wimbley I think we take one in the first round. 29 sacks just isn't going to do it especially going up against Manning.

[Dave Lane]

Houston has played very little.

Did you even watch him play?

Most people who have a clue formed their opinion on actually watching him rape. He was consistently showing up in GIF'D UP threads in the 2nd half, and lo and behold his PFF rating shot up.

No coincidence.

[DJ's left nut]

DJ ask the Giants about having too many pass rushers.

The Giants don't run a defense even similar to ours. Moreover, the Giants pass-rushers are all also big enough to put their hands on the ground and play a 'pure' DE.

There's a difference between the Giants breed of pass-rusher and Wimbley. Wimbley is more like when NE signed Derrick Burgess. Burgess was elite in Oakland as a primary pass-rusher, but pretty average in NE when used primarily as a role-player/sub package guy.

That's not to say that Wimbley won't be useful here - he will. But let's not act like we're signing Jason Pierre Paul here, or even Justin Tuck.

[Mr. Laz]

That's not his chief job.

This...uh....seems inaccurate.

The kid wasn't great in space - oh well; that's far down the list of things I worry about from a damn Ted backer. He was pretty damn strong in setting the edge and a monster when unleashed on the passer.

Don't try to undersell Houston in an attempt to oversell Wimbley. A Wimbley signing will sink or swim on its own merits; understating the play of Houston last year doesn't change that.

The kid is a ballplayer.

[jspchief]

Winston will go to the highest bidder.

We put on a full court press to land Winston, and it still took us 3 days. We signed him to a fairly cheap contract. How many million did Pioli save by dicking around for 3 days? A couple over the life of the contract? Could KC not afford to up the offer to lock down the guy they wanted on day 1?

Just because we got Winston, that doesn't mean this team knows how to make an "offer he can't refuse".

dropping into coverage and turning a sweep was not it

He got better as the year went back at the run ... still was pretty much crap in coverage.

Crennel doesn't blitz much so Houston wasn't used until the chicago(i think) then he got like 3 sacks.

Crennel got more aggressive late in the year which helped Houston out. Doesn't mean Houston couldn't pass rush, it just means that Crennel is a passive coach and he uses his SOLB in coverage a lot.

[SPATCH]

Seven sacks a year would be a perfect, stack the deck addition to whats already in place, with PAYton in dinver another guided missile system is just what the doctor ordered... count me in.

Justin Houston was ripping shit up in the last 8 games. He had 5.5 sacks in the last 5 games ALONE.

Wimbley likely to sign with Tennessee: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/19/report-titans-wimbley-close-to-five-year-agreement/

Adam Caplan is reporting that free agent defensive end Kamerion Wimbley will spend Monday night in Nashville after today’s visit with Titans officials.

And per Caplan, Wimbley is “close” to agreeing on a five-year contract to take his talents to Tennessee.

Wimbley played strong-side linebacker on base downs for the Raiders in 2011. He would be a full-time defensive end in Tennessee, where the organization is looking to rebound from misses on Mario Williams and Peyton Manning.

Caplan reports that negotiations will resume in the morning.

So it sounds like there’s a good chance Wimbley will be a Tennessee Titan by noon on Tuesday.

Houston really did take the air out of my living room at times, with his utter failure the first half of the season... the numbers were beyond terrible, the eye test looked fuzzy... it all spelled b.u.s.t

But to then to throw up five & a half, in five games, thats a great omen, an ugly but very short learning curve... and beyond Houstons apparent 'light bulb' moment, it almost seemed like Romeo was reading the Planet... 'they're using him all wrong in coverage, he needs to be pinning his ears back to the qb!'.

Romeo is a ****ing outstanding D coach... it may not happen instantly, but that guy can & WILL take whatevers available, blend it together & make them look like pro's in an astonishingly short time.

I think it's more than just pass rush though. We need some legit LBers that specialize in coverage or else Manning will expose us all day long and TEs will eat us alive in the middle of the field.

I think we also need another safety who has the physical tools, coverage skills, speed and athleticism to cover the deep part of field. I'm not sold on Kendrick Lewis. I think he sucks in coverage especially man to man.

[WhiteWhale]

Hey DIPSHIT.

Anyone with HALF A BRAIN IN THEIR HEAD was talking up Houston's run defense on this forum.

EVERYONE was wondering where the **** his pass rush was early in the season because he wasn't doing shit.

These stats are via PFF:

Against Buffalo in week 1 Houston rushed the QB on 3 of his 37 snaps.

In week 2 he rushed 5 times in 26 snaps

In week 3 he rushed zero times in 36 snaps

In week 4 he rushed one time in 53 snaps

He wasn't being sent after the QB so you can hardly expect big results, and he wasn't playing good defense against the run at this point. I think he COULD have rushed the QB, but Romeo rather just benched him for Studebaker for a while and maintained his conservative D.

When Houston was re-inserted into the starting line up he was a different guy. He was outstanding against the run and incredible rushing the QB. Romeo adjusted to a more pressure based scheme both in terms of coverage (more press/man) and blitzing the QB. Houston was rushing 15-20 times per game in the final 6 games and had outstanding results in every area except pass coverage. Our D only allowed over 20 points in 1 game. The D improved a lot and that was basically because of Houston and the alterations Romeo (finally) made to take advantage of what he brings.

[Hammock Parties]

He wasn't being sent after the QB so you can hardly expect big results, and he wasn't playing good defense against the run at this point.

He had positive run defense grades in 3 of his first 7 games. It was the first sign of flashing that he saw.

[NJChiefsFan]

.

Very well said. What his best skill is and being able to set the edge are two VERY different arguements. Not sure how defending his actual results last year against the run somehow says that we feel he is best against the run.

There were numerous times last season that Houston not only set the edge, but he did so with authority. Not easily missed on replays. I was very pleased with this, considdering I wasn't expecting it.

Crennel got more aggressive late in the year which helped Houston out. Doesn't mean Houston couldn't pass rush, it just means that Crennel is a passive coach and he uses his SOLB in coverage a lot.

We should not mess with Laz. He has a 159 IQ

Can we get the trade back?

I thought he'd get a pretty big contract.
Wasn't expecting that though.

Yep, it would make no sense for us to sign him for anywhere near that amount.

If we want a 3rd pass-rusher for cheap, we'll simply have to draft well.

We got Houston in the 3rd round last time, lets see if we can do it again. Though really, I'd rather see a 5-tech that will at least attempt to push the edges. And perhaps a NT that can collapse the interior a little wouldn't hurt either.

Our pass-rush deficiencies were not a result of our LBs, IMO, and therefore our LB corps is probably not where we should focus to remedy them. Our pass-rush problems came because our coverage over the middle allowed QBs to hit a quick dump to bail themselves out and because our down linemen simply do not get any push.

Berry should help with part of that problem, as should another year of play for Belcher and Houston. The rest, I just don't know about. I don't see how we suddenly start getting more push with our down lineman in passing situations unless Jackson takes the next step and Bailey is able to push Dorsey for PT.
