That's not true. I actually think that our linemen would excel in a 3-4. I think Turk is the exact mold of a DE you look for and Dorsey would also make an excellent DE.
The reason most teams run a 3-4 is because they are legitimately worried that it is too, too hard to find difference-making DEs. So what a 3-4 does is essentially put two defensive tackles on the line with a nose tackle in the middle.
Given that the strength of the Chiefs, in my opinion, is the corners and the defensive tackles (Tank, Dorsey, and... yes, Turk for a 3-4), it allows us to build on the right strengths. The next step is finding a nose tackle and shoring up the linebackers. The nose tackle is harder to find, but LBs are easy and they are easily available, and it is something we need to upgrade anyway.
As I put it in another thread... regardless of whether we run a 3-4 or a 4-3, we'll probably need to make some major changes and probably the same amount of major changes.
