If the Chiefs had not traded Allen, the Chiefs would not have drafted Dorsey. I would have been fine with that, they may have traded down... which would have been great.

But, if not, they would have taken Albert at #5.

I think that they would have wanted to go to a 3-4 regardless.

I know he had a good year last year, but you look at the talent beside him and I think he actually took a step back from where he was in 2006.

At the time, I didn't want the Chiefs to sign him.

I didn't want the Chiefs to sign LJ either. I think they were both high risk players.

Time will tell, but I still think this is the best for the Chiefs..especially given the new scheme.

Oh, and if the #5 draft pick last year wasn't enough to keep the scheme the same, I don't know that JA would have prevented it either.

Willie Roaf actually blamed DV, believe it or not. He said at the time that if he hadn't had DV's difficult camps, he could have lasted a couple additional years.

Full of Fail

FULL. What do you expect though? We had to find a way to rationalize that bullshit somehow.

Hmmm. That would have been a tough call for Pioli & Co.

You're probably right, though. Even though the justification for switching to the 3/4 was A) Haley's respect for the scheme as an OC and B) Pioli's supposed skill at finding players who can excel in the system, that could have been a very nice front 4. It would have made the decision to move to the 3/4 much more difficult.

Put some solid backers behind that line and you have the beginnings of a good defense ... at least on paper.

I don't believe that shit for a second.
Road hardly had to practice under DV

You might need some ginseng or something, for your memory, jidar.
