ESPN.com's Bill Williamson and Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson believe the Chiefs have found a "gem" in ILB Jovan Belcher.

Belcher was primarily a special teamer as an undrafted rookie in 2009. He graduated to full-time starter in 2010, racking up 84 tackles. "He's a heavier guy who is a good banger in the 3-4 defense," Matt Williamson said. "He seems like a hard-nosed guy who has made the best of opportunity." Expect Belcher to remain in the same role next season.

I'm one of the few people who isn't pressing to have him replaced in 2011. I'd really like to see what he turns into, and the only way for that to happen is if he's on the field.

Ima join you. I dont think ILB is a priority. Get those boys a NT and then see what they can do.

Bold=agree.

He's decent at bringing a load in the middle.

With that said, a good open field tackler he is not.

Paul Soliali sounds pretty good to me right now, can you say the next Dan Saleaumua. Oh we could only hope.

If the Chiefs can find a replacement for Belcher in the draft or free agency, he'll be replaced.

He's not the "Thumper" that Crennel envisions for his defense.

What are you basing this on?

DJ and Belcher aren't even closely related in terms of talent, quickness or instinct.

I'd like to add that I think Crennel really likes Belcher, and what he brings to the table.
Given the fact that he gave belcher the responsibility of the mic'ed up helmet from game 1 on monday night in Arrowhead, I'm led to believe, that not only does he think he can play the position, but he also thinks he can be a leader on this defense.

I agree with the nose tackle, center and see what they can do,free agent receiver!!!!!!!!!

Bump · 02-10-2011, 05:22 PM

I'd say he had a pretty solid season

royr17 · 02-10-2011, 05:24 PM

I'll say that I was impressed with him this year

That dumbass facemask penalty at the end of the raiders game still stands out in my memory, that was the turning point of that entire game.
