Did I ever say Turk made a good 4-3 end? No, I said he shouldn't be playing there. Justin Tuck has natural skills and speed and didn't need to learn as much. Turk has never been given a chance to learn his natural position. But a 3-4 end is a lot closer to it than a 4-3 end, so I expect improvement.

You can draft NT's... they don't have to come through FA. To say we can't switch to a 3-4 because we haven't signed a NT yet when FA isn't over and the draft hasn't started is hooey.

Obviously not, he is wound tight and taking it out on anyone on the board with a different opinion than his own. Some day he may learn post coital relaxation but not yet.

Everybody sucks! Everybody sucks! Everybody sucks!

Wow, this is easy. Doesn't take any thought at all.

Finally, insight.

I already responded.

I don't consider you to be anything but a whiny a$$ed pencil necked geek.

I am not going to say I am always right, but I have a feeling that my opinion is based on far more real life experience.

Frankly, I find your opinion on football to be as credible as any tips on sex you might want to post. I am pretty sure I have far more experience and skill in both areas.

Maybe he finally picked one of those chicks and the one he picked ended up having a bigger dick than his ?

Yes, but he did not know it was just her clit and ran off!

Claythan, like many others on this board, is a self appointed expert.

Very truthy, Mr. suds79. Very, very truthy.

He was also at LDE. That's generally the run stopping DE (at least more than the LDE). I'm not saying he's any good, but you can't just look at sacks....

You suck.

Actually, Tuck struggled quite a bit for his first two seasons while he was bouncing around, and fans considerd him a disappointment.

He, as many players do, got it by the start of his third season.

Suggs and Hali is a perfect example of the reason that you can't put too much into the combines.

Everyone knew that Hali lacked speed, so his 40 time wasn't surprising.

Suggs, on the other hand, ran a disappointing time, given that he was seen as a player that was faster than his 40 time suggested.

Who knows why he ran it so slow, but on the football field he is faster than Hali.

Hali has a quick initial burst, but lacks closing speed.

As LDE against a normally less athletic RT (relative to LT), that initial burst is a weapon, and with Allen flushing QBs his direction, it allowed him to make plays as a pass rusher.

But against the more athletic LT, who has the quicker footwork to effectively neutralize Hali's initial burst, he was useless.

Putting him at OLB, regardless of side, will effectively neutralize that initial burst as well.

Hali was good in coverage on zone blitzes. He has a good vertical, he has good initial burst, and most of the time he will be rushing the passer, not dropping back into coverage.

Most 3-4 defenses are played more like 5-2 defenses. Which is WHY I think drafting Curry is what will make this work.

With DJ and Curry, the Chiefs will have two very fast, very athletic linebackers that can cover sideline to sideline. The one difference is that Curry actually defeats blocks and tackles well. DJ will have to defeat fewer blocks in this scheme BECAUSE the defensive line isn't trying to rush upfield, just trying to tie up blockers.

The other part of the new scheme is that it will allow Pollard to drop down into the box more, again, a good fit for him.

I know that I am in the minority as far as Hali goes. I am cool with that. If I am right, then great. If I am wrong, I am going to catch it from EVERYONE.

Thems the breaks.
