I brought that up a bit ago, I want an example, 3-4 OLB's are converted DE's not traditional backers "taught" to rush the passer.

No, not 'anchor'.... the anchor of a unit has to be its strength. In this scenario, the Chiefs strength would be their linebackers.

But, the defensive line would be better than some in here will realize until it happens.

Seriously, it takes putting these guys in the right positions to win.

The Chiefs had a glut of DT's last year. Boone, Edwards, Dorsey, and Tank are all viable starters on most teams. Turk McBride fits a 3-4 DE best or a 4-3 under tackle.

Boone and McBride are natural fits at DE in the 3-4.

And, Dorsey is a better option than guys who merely look at the measurables will ever understand.
Boone and McBride are natural fits for BACKUP DE in the 3-4. We'd still need starters.

The Chiefs LB's would be their strength?

So a team with no pass rushing LB's in a 3-4 would be their strength?

I didn't know that Obama's economic strategist was a Chiefs fan.....

No wonder Wall Street is tanking. Sensible is posting on CP while he should be spending another trillion or two.

And we have no nose at all which is by far the most important line position.

But, for the record, I do not want Curry playing OLB in the 3-4.
Donnie Edwards played ILB in the 3-4 and teams don't spend premium draft picks on 3-4 ILB unless they're the Patriots and they're loaded everywhere already.

He played both.

The LB's were the biggest liability on a terrible unit last season. DJ is a supreme disappointment, and, even if Curry is the greatest thing ever to step foot on a field, he alone won't make the LB corp the strength of this team in a 3-4.

No he didn't. He may have played there in an emergency but he was primarily an ILB.

I'm going to tell you right now you're going to go in a huge circle now.

Even if we draft Curry we still need another good linebacker to run a 3-4. We also don't know if Vrabel can handle a full time load anymore. I also don't know if Tamba Hali can even play in a 3-4.

I don't believe he played more than a few downs at OLB in San Diego.

Tamba Hali has a couple fans left.

If we draft Curry, we need TWO.

DJ is an ILB. Curry is an ILB. Vrabel is a spot player at this point. Hali MIGHT be able to play OLB in a situational role. If we draft Curry, we need two starting OLB's.
