Chiefs Can we talk about Tershawn Wharton? - Page 12

This guy is like really ****ing good.

He’s playing so well as an UDFA rookie at a position where guys just simply don’t usually play that well until year 2 or 3.

His upside is extremely high for a guy that’s just a rotational player right now. Him and Jones as our interior pass rushers is going to be unfair for the next few years.

Looks more like a 5-tech end than a DT.

Reed looks EXACTLY like a DT.

I love how our pass rush supposedly sucks, but we have 3 legitimate interior pass rushers that can wreck havoc. They’re going to make whoever is playing DE’s job much easier.

I do wonder if this is a bit by design. Veach couldve had Basham. He could’ve invested in DE, considering how aggressively he pursued OL. Some of that could’ve been used at DE.

It does make you think that Veach isn’t as concerned as we are. Maybe he’s anticipating a rematch with the Bucs in the Super Bowl and wants to generate substantial interior pressure, since Brady is no threat to escape. He saw what happened to Ford and Houston in AFCCG. I think they maybe generated 1 pressure combined.

I've wondered this too. I mean Reed fell in their lap, but they didnt have to go get him. They chose too add him to a pretty good room already.

A couple of years ago when asked about the future of NFL defenses, Andy said that he felt interior pass rushers were the future. Remember that? Because it's a shorter distance to the QB, and it totally disrupts timing and passing lanes.

Well, I think we're about to find out if that theory is true.

If you can destroy the pocket from inside, then all your ends have to do is hold containment.

Seems like a sound plan to me.

The side benefit of this is that it allows your base set the versatility to rush the passer but defend the edge against this new wave of running QB's like Lamar and Murray. The Chiefs have done a good job against Jackson the last couple of years and they're fixing to get better at it.

I also wonder if teams are over-investing at OT, which is forcing them to limit their investment in the IOL.

I heard a stat recently that like 80% of starting OTs in the Super Bowl were first or second round picks. Can’t remember the specifics, but it was substantial.

If teams are leaving the interior vulnerable, throwing more, and getting rid of the ball quickly, then it makes sense to invest at DT.

Chiefs’ second-year defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton, who has also put together a very strong training camp, was outright dominant against the 49ers. According to Pro Football Focus, Wharton recorded four total pressures, including a sack, two hurries and a hit. He also recorded two stops and a forced fumble on the night.

I'd contend possibly 2nd behind Chris Jones

Could well be by the end of the year.

I think you have to argue that Reed and Clark are ahead of him for now based on their resumes.

I would put Nnadi ahead of him for now too. He’s been a solid starter.
