Chiefs Going 3-4 -Adam Shefters Blog

Kansas City announced its coaching staff this week. What it didn’t announce is that the Chiefs are planning to switch to a 3-4 defense.

Under the guidance of new defensive coaches Clancy Pendergast and Gary Gibbs, the Chiefs are turning to the defense that has done so well for Pittsburgh and is back in vogue in the NFL. The Chiefs are going 3-4.

Now Kansas City is going to have to tailor its personnel accordingly. But what is most intriguing and mysterious about it is where last year’s first-round pick, defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, fits in. Dorsey might not be stout enough to play nose tackle in a 3-4, and he might not be big enough to play end in that style of defense.

One year after becoming Kansas City’s top pick, there now are questions about Dorsey’s role.

But the changes now are coming fast and furious in Kansas City, mainly on defense.

If anyone knew what he would be he would have gone much higher. He's probably the most valuable player on that team. Granted a lot of that is his leadership, but a great LB can be a very valuable part of a Defense. Curry is a top 5 worthy pick thats all I'm saying. If you think we dont need a LB on this team, cool. But saying this kid couldnt be a valuable addition to somebody just isnt true.

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago: I'm going to be very interested when Jaws does a breakdown of this year's QB's. Dude absolutely loved Cutler coming out, and I think Jaws adds a lot of insight in this area.

I'm really interested in whom he sees as the top guy, and where he ranks a guy like Davis relative to Stafford and Sanchez.

during the year last year, he came out as 'in love' with tyler thigpen. he said 'the chiefs have found their franchise qb finally.'

kinda took my love for jawa down a few pegs.

I'm scared that this would quite suck, but if all pieces play to thier upside, it's not too bad really. But that's probably asking for too much....
