The last time the Chiefs had a good 3-4 defense you had Neil Smith, Dan Saly and Joe Phillips. We have nothing of the sort. Plus if you're going to run a coverage defense you are better off in a 4-3. A 3-4 that doesn't constantly attack is not an effective 3-4, imo. We are 2-3 solid Dlineman and a good inside LB away from being an effective 3-4. That's assuming Dorsey continues to get better.

Jackson has graded out well against the run unless I'm mistaken. Don't get blinded by the fact that he was a disastrous selection at #3 overall and not be able to recognize that he can contribute on some level.
