The person who may benefit most from this is Derrick Johnson.
Although I don't know how in the world they got Zach Thomas to come here if they're really going to a 3-4.

Well, two things... Zach Thomas played in a 3-4 last year in Dallas. Secondly, a 3-4 defense makes complete sense for him. Many have questioned if he's a little soft to be an aggressive LB--throughout his career. In a 3-4, he can be a pass coverage specialist, which is his forte. What surprises me more is that Thomas plays a role that I think is better suited for DJ. I think what's most likely is that the Chiefs run a hybrid for one year and Thomas plays 4-3 LB. It's a stopgap solution.
