Chiefs Our defense, if we drafted Ansah and Nico Johnson. - Page 3

Direckshun · 03-16-2013, 11:04 AM

We would be given an insane amount of different fronts we could line up in. We could have heavy fronts, small fronts, dimes, nickels, goal lines... and always be lining up exceptional talent everywhere.

Now for our purposes, I assumed we drafted Ezekiel Ansah out of BYU, who the Chiefs clearly love. And I assume they draft Nico Johnson, a big, Belcher-type out of Alabama in the 3rd or fourth round.

Look how awesome this is.

Ladies and gentleman, this is why it's a good idea to stack your ****ing defense.

He did show a quick burst with his first step, and got some penetratin on a handful of plays.

I think he will turn out to be a nice rotational player in this defense.

My gut feeling on it is that Poe was Pioli prize first round pick and Powe was just a 6th rounder so Pioli told Crennel to play Poe all he could. You could and probably right about the discipline part so I'm hoping that the new coaching staff can work well with Powe. I do just want to see him get and take the opportunity when given to him to push hard so he can be successful. If anything push Poe to be worried about his job.

I do think Pioli expected Poe to play every down last year like he did at Memphis.

***** probably told Crennel to bench Cassel as well.

Of course. But "More Powe and less Poe"?

No way, Jose.

So, Dontari Poe isn't a ****ing animal? His measurables aren't off the charts?

You took that as more than Poe and that isn't what I meant. I want to see Powe get more playing time to relieve Poe in a rotation but Poe would still be the starting NT.

jd1020 · 03-16-2013, 01:28 PM

Is there any 1 area in Powe's game that is better than Poe's that would justify swapping them based on the situation? Nope.

I don't want to see Powe on the field unless Poe is tired or we are loading the line to stop a 3rd and short or goal line run.

I'm not saying Powe is better than Poe, but they need to use him so that they both can be effective when they are in the game. So that Poe isn't worn out in the late 3rd and fourth quarter.

They need to worry about the offense keeping the ball for longer than 3 snaps before giving 2 shits about Powe.

So now you change it up to the offense? We had the best offense in the league during the Vermeil era but we couldn't stop no one so I would hope they do practice some defense at least.

You are talking about giving Poe a breather so he's effective later in the game, you moron. Wtf do you think happens when the offense has the ball?

I'm sure that Vermeil's defense would have been better had he thought of replacing starters with inferior players just because the backups "need" playing time.

I just fealt you switch subject to offense when we were talking defense. Sure the offense needs to step it up, but what if we have (LOL at me for saying this with Alex Smith at QB) one of those high octain offenses that score quick and the defense is back on the field right away?

The defense is the ones that need get off the field so if Poe is effective doing his job and they force three and outs I wouldn't worry about them rotationg Powe in for him. When they start forcing three and outs then that would be a good thing.
