Hey Warren, Was it hard for you to transition from a four man front in Tampa to a 3 man front in Oakland? Do you think Glenn Dorsey can do it in K.C.?

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Glenn Dorsey's in trouble and so is Kansas City for trying to force him. Thank God I only had to do it for 16 games. It's not hard, it just takes away all the advantages you possess. Being fast, quick, agile in the 4-3. The 3-4 doesn't allow your talents to come out.

Your Opinion on Larry Johnson and how he will do this year and why??

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
I think if Larry Johnson takes in some good quality offseason work, I think he can get 1,700-1,800 yards and double-digit touchdowns. He's a nightmare to tackle.

I never really cared for much for Sapp while he was playing.

Some of the stuff he has said on NFLN since he has retired I agreed with, some of it I thought was way off base.

Not sure here if his comment about Dorsey is him thinking they are playing him at DT or DE???

Someday it will all be put to use. Of the most glorious kind.

Bitch slappin' ALL THE WAY TO THE 'SHIP!

This is the best part:

Quote:

Vince Costello’s voice lowers to a whisper. Voices often lower to a whisper when the topic is Jim Brown. There was something about the way Jim Brown ran a football that defies words. Players from Brown’s time will call him Superman and Hercules and recall superhuman feats of strength like some time when he dragged 10 mud-covered men over a goal line on a snowy day in Cleveland.

Then, often, those players will drop their voices and speak in the hushed tones you hear in church. Vince Costello was Jim Brown’s teammate in Cleveland for nine seasons.

“The kid’s just like him,” Costello whispers. “I never thought I would see anyone run the ball like Jim. But this kid runs the same way, upright, proud. He runs angry, the way Jim used to run. He wants to hurt you. Jim wanted to hurt you.”

Costello’s whisper dives even lower, so now you can barely make out the words. Maybe he’s whispering out of respect. Maybe he cannot believe what he’s saying.

“There will never another Jim Brown,” he whispers. “But Larry Johnson is the closest thing I think I’ll see in my lifetime.”

I could have sworn you had a bitter divorce with LJ. I'm too lazy to go hunt down your related anti-LJ posts, but I'm pretty sure you had a bunch.

Nope.

Maybe he'll get his mojo back.

OK, again I'm too lazy for this, but the first 5 disparaging quotes from Claythan about LJ fished out by any poster will earn them a nice juicy rep. I'm pretty sure I've seen them.

One time I said I was disappointed in him. That's about the worst thing I've ever said.

Ooooookay. The offer still stands tho.

It will be a happy day when thug pampers LJ is not a Chief anymore.

LJ is NOT Jim Brown-LJ ran angry because he wanted a new contract period. He has not done shit since-often times running out of bounds.

Holmes was a much better runner, and for being Lots smaller than LJ-a better blocker too.

LJ has no heart at all-the only fire he has is directed at drunk ho's in a bar-either slapping them or spitting on them.

I am surprised he is still on the team at all-I thought Pioli would cut ties with that locker room cancer.

The one we're evolving to is most likely the 2 gap variety like Parcells and Bellichiks.

Would it be too much to ask for you to explain the difference to me? I know the difference between 3-4 and 4-3...I don't necessarily know what it means to have a 1 gap or a 2 gap?

1-gap defenders are just penetrating up the field for the most part, lining up between offensive linemen. 2-gap defenders are trying to control blockers and let players behind them make the plays, often lining up head-on with offensive linemen, taking the gap on either side depending on where the play is going.

Thank you. I was headed in that direction, but needed it confirmed.
