Chiefs Anyone else worried about the weight loss? - Page 3

LJ looks like a beast.... great.

Bowe looks like he is in great shape.... terrific.

The thing that worries me is that I was looking at the defensive and offensive lines and they are noticeably lighter.

I am somewhat concerned about the offensive line, but depending on the blocking, lighter may be better.

The biggest concern, for me, is the defensive line. Especially given the fact that the Chiefs are going with a 3-4. You really want those guys up front to occupy blockers. I am not sure that having them lose that much weight is the best thing.

I understand that they did not finish games well and the better the shape.... the better the condition, the better able they are to finish games.

I am just worried that this defensive line will get pushed around.

Just wondering if anyone else is worried.

I asked Gretz about KC's defense and he replied that they played both a 34 and 43 under during the game.

I was speaking to a very knowledgable Chiefs fan just awhile ago.. and these comments were bandied about...

Quote:

i counted 3 plays (at least) when the first team defense was in a TWO-GAP 3-4...so they not only played the 1-gap 3-4 that we expected, as well as the 4-3 under that we expected, they also played straight-up 3-4 the same way Pittsburgh and New England play it

We look to have a very confusing D this year.. unfortunately that means a steep learning curve for our own players.
