There is no threat of Dorsey getting into the backfield, so Hali's been forced to work against the tackle exclusively as well as getting chipped by backs and tight ends.
Now, I understand that the five tech's position is to hold up the blockers, but there has to be some potential threat of the guy bull rushing the pocket. It ain't happening currently. (Though, Bailey flashed a couple of times the last two weeks. First time in a long time I can recall a Chiefs DE getting into the backfield.)
But I digress, I don't care for anyone on the coaching staff improving anything on this team. 1-15 is the goal. Geno Smith is the goal. A new GM is the goal. A new head coach is the goal. A new offensive coordinator is the goal. A total renewal...a new era brought about by a complete and utter purge.
Stay focused on the goal.

No, terrible idea on Powe. WE're going to give up on Poe because he hasn't been a superstar in 7 games? Given that we knew with his inexperience, he'd be at least a 1-2 year experiment just to get him up to speed?
We're losing. There is ZERO value in maximizing snaps for Powe. Powe is obsolete. Teams prefer not to use 2-down 3-4 NTs. When you have guys like that, offenses will run no huddle spread and your 3-4 NT is completely out of position. The value in Poe is that when he matures, you hope he can play NT well, but have the versatility to stay on the field and play more of a 5-technique if the play dictates.
Which is why Poe was a great pick. I'm not a fan of Baldwin and never was. Still love the Berry pick, even if he's underperformed. I'm not convinced Berry couldn't improve with better coaching -- he's playing reckless.
