Chiefs Possible trades...........

**Tribal Warfare** · 03-02-2009, 01:10 AM

IMO, it seems Pioli will try to get rid of all the Vermeil/Edward leftovers as possible for picks the players who have some value are probably gone are DJ,LJ,Thigpen and unfortunately Waters. I know most are very obvious, but the DJ trade is very likely due to he's a coverage Linebacker and his lackadaisical work ethic but he still has an assload of talent but no discipline.

And why do you think he will do this?

Conflicting attitudes in the lockerroom that the said players won't buy into the system and new leadership.

Not saying DJ is living up to his potential, but I don't see Pioli trading away the only LB on his team w/ any talent when he's gonna need 4 of them for the defensive scheme he wants to run.

Pioli even said it himself, " Individuals make probowls, but a team whens championships" Then he went on drafting the right players ect...

I believe he will, the guy should be a perennial all-pro by now but doesn't have the work ethic to get over the top.

I don't think its his work ethic that was holding him back. Lousy ****ing coaching. Seems to me he could flourish in a 3-4 on the outside.

Doesn't have the knack for it, if he did they'd blitzed him constantly. losing focus in games like Gunther stated is directly rated to work ethic.

I stopped believing anything that tool said years ago. You know how that staff loved to throw its players under the bus.

He's not an outside 3-4 backer.

I'm curious why you say this? DJ has speed and good coverage skills, why do you feel this way?

I doubt he'll trade young linebackers

He has value, because of his youth but doesn't have attitude or work ethic to be on a winning team. Hell Gunther and Herm have said that he loses focus and gets lazy during games. Who the **** gets lazy during games, the guy is getting away with this because of his talent and part of the reason why KC was always in the bottom half of league defensively.

Do you have a link for this? I don't remember hearing this.
