Dorsey and TJ have been okay at stopping the run. TJ improved last season, Dorsey did not, not significantly imo.
Last season the Chiefs were ranked 29th against attempts (which I think means teams didn't run that often on them), 26th in run yards against them and 20th in running TD's allowed.
That is not very good.
We can say it was the NT's fault, but that would be stupid to say imo because Kelly Gregg and Gordon did a decent job in the middle, at least as decent as the two ends did. Nobody got push/penetration with any kind of consistency during passing downs and that was part of the reason Tamba Hali was not as good/better than 2011's stellar performance.
I'm sure the staff is going with Poe at DE during passing downs this season. Pairing Tamba with Poe at RDE on that weakside is going to create some problems for offenses, I bet. Mix in Gordon at NT with Bailey at LDE and LOLB Houston next to Bailey, I believe they could develop something like a pass rush by november.
