Pioli reveals why we didn't sign Franklin.
http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article...f-cabdac0e8ee2
“Situationally, we focus on players that fit our type of system and we play a two-gap system (at nose tackle),” Pioli explained to season ticket holders. “Systematically, Aubrayo Franklin has spent his career in a one-gap system. “Sometimes, taking a player and trying to fit them into something that they’ve never done in a system that they’re not used to…we felt there were some other players that had some background in our system that would be a better fit for us.” The Chiefs found a prototypical 3-4 nose tackle in former Baltimore Raven Kelly Gregg. He’s worked with the first-team defense from the moment he strapped on a Chiefs helmet. Working behind Gregg with the second-team defense has been rookie Jerrell Powe. “Aubrayo Franklin is a good football player, but he didn’t necessarily fit what we were trying to do from a scheming standpoint,” Pioli said. |

Let me just say one thing, and it's that I've been completely wrong about Kelly Gregg so far, which really just spans one half of a preseason game.
I didn't like the signing, I thought his play was largely fluffed up due to playing alongside Ngata and having Lewis behind him. But I've watched the Ravens game a half dozen times now, and he is all over the field. He refuses to let blockers through, he just swallows them up, and while he isn't particularly mobile, he shows a willingness to get out to the edges that Powe is clearly picking up on. Great pickup. Sad that he's 35, would have liked to have him around longer. I hope he lasts all season. |

Most other positions lose a step and that is the difference between being good or being done. It's more how long their body can take the abuse. And luck from an injury stand point. |
