He was primarily an ILB in the 3-4, which was the best fit for him. But, he did play outside for a full season in the 3-4.

But, again, we don't dissagree that Curry's best fit is at ILB. We also don't dissagree that Donnie's best fit was at ILB.

Fans? Not really.

You can't throw everybody away in one offseason, especially somebody that we spent a 1st-rounder on.

Be realistic.

You are right... teams don't. And, most of the time they shouldn't.

In this case, I think it is the player that makes the most sense.

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.

In sum, then, we wouldn't have addressed the 3 most important positions in a 3-4. But, by all means, Curry makes sense in every other respect.

I don't care where he was picked when you change regimes who bring new schemes guys who don't fit gotta go.

If you make the assumption that Vrabel can't handle a full load then we need two. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt until i actually see him play here. We definitely need to be grooming Vrabel's replacement asap.

When did Edwards play OLB in the 3-4 for the Chargers?

They need a nose tackle more than anything...the rush backers can be had in many places if you look around you'll see plenty of examples the nose however is much harder to find.

Mecca 03-02-2009 10:47 AM

Also if this team is going to try to make an exception for a player that doesn't really fit the defense its Dorsey not Hali from everything to natural talent to contract numbers.

Mr. Krab 03-02-2009 10:48 AM

Which do we need more Curry or Raji?

I wonder which player is ranked higher on the Chiefs' board.

Raji plays the much more valued position.

Not at all at once, they don't.

It's not rocket science, is it? :thumb:

Okay, first off; Spit Bubble salutes you, Nonsensical Chiefs Fan! He appreciates your advocacy and continued support!

Second,
Dorsey, Flowers, Carr, and Leggitt; that is our defense. That is it,and there ain't no more.

Much roster to fill. Much.

They're going to have to make SEVERAL exceptions if they plan on going 3-4 right away.

None of our existing DL would be ideal starters in a 3-4. Some of them might be backups at various positions, but we have no starters.

DJ is a starting ILB in a 3-4. Other than him and Vrabel (who might be a backup at this point) we have no starters at LB, either.

Pollard MIGHT be a decent SS in a pressure D. Page has no position, and both of our CB's are zone guys who might struggle in a pressure D.

By my count, your scenario of not making exceptions would require us to get TEN new defensive players this offseason. That's not going to happen.
