Chiefs Gholston theory

tooge · 04-24-2008, 12:03 PM

I have heard the rumors that Herm is really high on Gholston. I think it is a complete smokescreen. Herm has talked about drafting guys for their system for the last 2 years, and Gholston just plain doesn't fit the chiefs 4-3/cover 2 system. I dont think they have any interest at all in him. It is just a play to try to get NE, whose system he fits perfectly, to be a potential trade partner. Will the trade happen? Who knows, it all depends if Long is there or not. If so, certainly they take him, if not, I bet they are trying real hard to trade back 2 spots where they will end up taking Clady or Albert and gain an extra 2nd rounder. I will absolutely shit my shorts if Gholston is a chief.

Hopefully you'll need clean shorts.

Yep, and their names are Clady, Albert and Otah.

those guys are reaches but at least they fit the chiefs system. I would rather they get Ellis, clady, or Albert or trade back. I have just read so many reports on Gholston that say that he is a one trick pony and a workout warrior. If the chiefs ran a 3-4 I would be fine with him, but Hali isn't that big, and with Gholston on the other side, you end up with two run liabilities. If the Cheifs do select Gholston, I hope I am totally wrong, but it doesn't get me excited at all.

Clady is better suited for a zone blocking scheme, not the power downhill blocking scheme we run.

And regarding Gholston, he's the same size as Jared Allen.

Allen played at 265 last year (listed at 270) and Gholston's combine weight is 266.

If Gholston doesn't fit the system, then neither does Jared Allen. Good thing we got rid of him.

Gholston would be fine....I don't think HERM is blowing smoke here. like we need more draft picks that Carl will have trouble arm twisting to sign by TC

I thought Gailey's system used a form of zone blocking.

Am I totally wrong here?

Gholston fits the Cover 2 scheme perfectly.

Redcross · 04-24-2008, 12:45 PM

I also heard that the Chiefs are going to adopt the zone blocking scheme. Clady would be perfect for that.

A three month old rumor that has never come to fruition.

I think you've heard so much about the Chiefs wanting Ryan, perhaps a few of the other guys as well, is because they want Gholston to fall.

You never make people think you like a guy so they'll trade with you to get him, you do it so they'll trade ahead of you so that who you want will actually be there.

Molitoth · 04-24-2008, 01:19 PM

We better take Long if he is there !
