Given that scenario, id rather have Ansah. More upside i believe than any other pass rusher in this draft. Also profiles greatly to a 3-4 olb.

Tamba didnt have a lot of sacks lsst year because he was in coverage 70% of the time. He is a pass rusher not a pass coverer. He could easily put up 15 sacks this year if used properly.

no, 2012, he flat held the ball too long, which ultimately led to his demise. Holding the ball and not getting rid of it, was for sure a big issue. Just dont want this scape goat out there about the oline in 2011.

2012.....best o line in football bar none......

apparently some of you dont realize that Tamba Hali is probably one of TWO defenders on the entire team that the other teams offense actually game plan for as a factor during the week. He's that good. He's getting old, but he's good, let's say he's similar to dwight freeney/robert mathis, he's still got well til hes 33/34

Long-term, he may be the better pick. However, if you think that you can get real push from your D-line with one of those first three, that's more impactful than a ROLB would be, especially when we already have Houston who's logical next step is to supplant Hali.

Yes i would, especially in a trade down scenario. Or even Jarvis Jones depending on how far we trade back.

I think bringing in a 3rd pass rusher on obvious passing downs would be tremendous.

Know why he doesn't turn the ball over? Because he takes ****ing sacks.

Game Manager. 8-8.

mcaj22 · 03-14-2013, 02:13 PM

you dont really game plan for a MLBer, you dont really game plan for a safety. So that leaves Flowers and Hali, Houston gets open looks because of all the focus Hali brings

we dont have a d-lineman worth a shit that takes the focus off of any of them, so that's where we struggle

8-8 is still better than 2-14, 4-12, 7-9, 4-12 and 2-14.

did you see the d-line he was playing alongside of last year? how about the MLBers and safeties behind him?

or the RCB to his outside? No? okay. Guess you were all sleeping

I'm not sure he's in decline or not, but his production certainly dropped off last season and im not as certain as you are that it's his supporting cast's fault. He's getting older, he was never an outstanding athlete to begin with, so it's not far fetched to believe that his best days are behind him.

If the Chiefs are in a position for a luxury pick, and it's not going to be a QB, then OLB seems to be the sexiest pick out there.

Does 8-8 win you a Superbowl? No, it doesn't.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure you made that "70%" up.

**The Franchise** · 03-14-2013, 02:17 PM

You want realistic expectations for Alex Smith?

His 2nd year here.....he better have us in the AFC Championship game.
