Chiefs Defensive Line

chuxtrux · 04-17-2009, 12:40 PM

If they do move Hali to OLB in the 3-4, who are they going to have in the trenches. Dorsey isn't really suited to play in the middle in that kind of defense, do they move him outside and put Tyler at NT? And I guess put McBride in the other DE spot? Not that the defensive line can get much worse than last year, but it is still the one spot on the team that I have no idea what they are going to do with.

The depth chart, for the 3-4, currently...

McBride-Tyler-Dorsey
Hali-Edwards-Boone

I'm thinking Hali and Brian Johnson will still play some DE--but mostly in the 4-3 situtations. Otherwise, they'll try them at OLB in the 3-4...but it's pretty obvious we'll be looking at least one more DE and another DT via June FA and/or the draft.

Where did you get your info? From the Chiefs player I talked to a couple of weeks ago, Hali and McBride are at OLB and Dorsey is at NT.

Okay gang, a guy who sells real estate in Leawood told me that everything is set, pending approval from Brian Waters.

How is what I'm saying any less believable than anybody else? Everything is speculative. At least I've heard something from somebody that has an idea. Thanks, though.

You and your informant may be absolutely correct.

But at this point in time, you have absolutely no credibility on the 'Planet, so people will not likely take your information seriously.

Point taken. Hopefully once the post count increases I can contribute a little better.

You have to have lots of posts before you're no longer a liar.

That's just the way it is.

It's more that the information you provided is accurate. You can have a 30k post count and do the "Okay, gang" stuff. Everyone will take your word once info is made public if your correct. You were the guy that said Dorsey is up to 330 right?

Unless you work for WPI, then you are always considered a liar by the Planet.

I think there's also an interview last week with Tank Tyler talking about how he's playing the nose.

MoreLemonPledge · 04-17-2009, 02:05 PM

I'm not trying to hijack the thread. I don't know if the info I got is 100% correct, just assumed it was considering the source. I understand the credibility thing, too.

Anyway, even with Dorsey up to 330, if that's true, it would make more sense for Tank to be the NT right now if you ask me.

Good luck. I'm hoping to get to that point someday too.

No problem...I'm not trying to be a dick, just curious if you had heard something. It's frustrating not knowing for sure...
