Chiefs Cassel or Sanchez? - Page 15

KCBOSS1 · 04-11-2009, 06:45 PM

I realize that we are where we are, but the more I see about Sanchez, the more I'm afraid that a few years down the road, we may look back and realize that we passed up on the franchise guy that we've been looking for. I know that Cassel played ok last year, but is he a franchise guy? ...likely not. Thoughts?

There are logical reasons for some players. Albert as case in point. What's the logic from Curry backers for why their boy is going to suddenly become something he hasn't been?

Ok....I'm talking about a consistent game changer.

I have to agree, and I'm wondering if that's who we might be looking at.

Curry is a big kid and fast. I think he could be successful on the outside as well.

My comment had to do with the way you presented as a whole new ****ing idea.

My comment had to do with the fact that your revelation was so important that you had to start a new thread to let everyone know that one of your brain cells finally clicked on.

I'll pray that your life get's better. Things have to be tough, to be that big a prick. Focus on the good things friend. This is just football. Take a deep breath.

Yeah, that Ngata guy makes a difference only once in awhile. He's clearly not the most important cog for that defense.

Great in this years draft you probably aren't gonna get one. Atleast not on defense.

**DeezNutz** · 04-11-2009, 09:07 PM

If you're trying to compare the importance of a DT to any other position in the 3-4, I don't think you have a solid grasp of the topic.

Curry's going to make an outstanding OLB... in a 4-3. The worst idea in the world is to take an OLB who is outstanding in coverage and moving in space, and forcing him to gain 20 lbs so that he can be more effective at shedding blocks and winning battles in the trenches. Because that's the only way the Curry experiment works at OLB in a 3-4.

Mecca · 04-11-2009, 09:08 PM

I want to know why people that like Curry immediately go into the "he can play outside" argument.

Odds are he can't, argue for what his strengths are not what he probably won't be able to do.

Can he shed blocks as well as a DE could? Does he have experience consistently putting his hand on the ground?

Curry's strength is moving in space and coverage. By putting him in a 3-4, you're asking him to do more pass rushing than what he's best at. It's a complete misuse of his talents.

Which one of the Currybators wants to carry the water for this one?

Any player can make game chaning plays, but to be a game changer, you have to do it consistently.

He's not a pass rusher, and on defense pass rushers ar the game changers.

LT, DT, Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Dwight Freeny, etc. are game changers.

Ask Cunnigham why we didn't rush the passer last season. We didn't even try. Instead we always played zone and let the worst LB corp in the league chase plays. You dont blame a player for something a coach doesn't try to do. Curry made a lot of plays behind the line but didn't rush the QB.

Sounds more like a scheme or play calling issue. He has shown he can get in the backfield.

I was being sarcastic originally.
