You're reading too much into the title.

Last season the Chiefs were ranked 29th against attempts (which I think means teams didn't run that often on them), 26th in run yards against them and 20th in running TD's allowed.

That is not very good.

We can say it was the NT's fault, but that would be stupid to say imo because Kelly Gregg and Gordon did a decent job in the middle, at least as decent as the two ends did. Nobody got push/penetration with any kind of consistency during passing downs and that was part of the reason Tamba Hali was not as good/better than 2011's stellar performance.

I'm sure the staff is going with Poe at DE during passing downs this season. Pairing Tamba with Poe at RDE on that weakside is going to create some problems for offenses, I bet. Mix in Gordon at NT with Bailey at LDE and LOLB Houston next to Bailey, I believe they could develop something like a pass rush by november.

Poe will not play DE this year. He is a NT.

Key words in this statement are "this year"

Tyson is due like 15 million next year and Dorsey is gonna be a fa.

One of the two is probably long gone and there is a real chance that both are.

Jackson will be restructured, not sure what they will do about Dorsey.

Jackson is the prototypical DE for this d, they surely will keep him around.

They already restructured Tyson to take off one year.

Hopefully, there was a method to that madness.

I would guess short term they have to meet the cap minimum. I also believe if they restructure, there is only so much of a pay cut he can take. Give the guy a short term bump in exchange for the fact he won't be getting the money on his contract for the coming year. Though depending on a signing bonus, he won't be hurting.

Gonna be funny when Pioli and his failed 3-4 DE get shipped outta town together.

He will also be one of the two lineman on passing sets. Not sure what you call that position.

Haha

It's gonna suck not being able to read your reactions to Piolis extension.

Let me also say this:

If Pioli is fired, it will be a foolish move.

His ONLY failing is Cassel a d if he doesn't step up, he won't be the qb after the bye.

Just watch.
