ESPN.com's Bill Williamson and Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson believe the Chiefs have found a "gem" in ILB Jovan Belcher.

Belcher was primarily a special teamer as an undrafted rookie in 2009. He graduated to full-time starter in 2010, racking up 84 tackles. "He's a heavier guy who is a good banger in the 3-4 defense," Matt Williamson said. "He seems like a hard-nosed guy who has made the best of opportunity." Expect Belcher to remain in the same role next season.

Unless I'm missing something, those 2 didn't play except the occasional random play & on special teams....

Belcher is 250. I know this from the horses mouth.

The rest of your shit is baseless.

Mays played in goal line situations because he's better against the run than Belcher.

If Belcher could put on 25 pounds of muscle mass, learn the game (i.e. become more instinctive) and rotate his hips more quickly, he could be a long term solution. But until he can do that, I view him as a stop gap.

Better than a horses ass I supposed.

I actually love having Belcher on the team. He was solid his rookie year. Last year he got even better. His next season he should only improve even more.

Exactly. This was just his second year in the league, first year as a starter and he was very solid. He should only get better.

These linebackers are gonna take another step if we add a true nose guard.

All of them.

Sort of. All of them but at LOLB. I like Stude as depth, but I think he's proven that he's not close to starter material.

The official roster has shown him at 228, and still does. I agree, though, that he looks bigger than that. In football terms, he has a solid base.

I disagree, but time will tell.

Hopefully Sheffield returns and makes a contribution as well.

This team is better if Belcher is your top backup instead of starter.

228 is what the Chiefs have him listed as.

Don't care. Jovan told me himself he walked into camp at 252. Roster weight's and shit don't change for years at a times sometimes.

Really. You're that smart?

Heaven forbid I want to upgrade one of our weak links on our defense.
