Chiefs Chiefs All-Decade Team - Inside Linebackers - Page 5

**Rain Man** · 02-23-2020, 06:37 PM

With the end of the decade, it's time for us to select our all-decade team for the 2010s. Credit to Direckshun for the idea; I'm just implementing it.

Here are the rules:

1. I'll put up lists of position groups one at a time.

2. Each list will contain guys who had at least one notable stat line in their career. I'll generally put them in descending order of some key stat.

3. The stats will contain ONLY their body of work between 2010 and 2019 for the Chiefs. No pre-2010 stats and no stats for other teams.

4. The number of roster spots will be the same as the number of roster spots on the 2019 Super Bowl roster for the Chiefs.

5. You can use whatever criteria you want to select the team. It can be total stats for the decade, it can be dominance in a shorter period, it can be playmakers who didn't screw up badly, whatever. It's your call. Feel free to use any criteria not listed in your decision. For example, if you know that Terrance Copper was an amazing blocker, you can build that into your decision.

6. In a subsequent poll we will determine which players are the starters on the all-decade team. In the first round, you're just going to fill the 53-man roster.

Our next position group is inside linebackers. FOUR inside linebackers will make the all-decade team. So pick FOUR inside linebackers.

This, I'd have gone with 2, maybe 3.

Yeah, I think going with the Top 3 should be the move here. There's just a vast difference between the top vote getters and the tie for 4th at the moment.

I just voted for DJ. That's a lot of dookie on that list.

Hey, HEY! Are you questioning Andy Reid, whose Super Bowl winning team featured four inside linebackers? Huh? Huh? Are you questioning Super Bowl winning coach Andy Reid?

(Honestly, I can't tell if Darron Lee is officially an ILB or an OLB, but I think he's technically an ILB.)

**Rain Man** · 02-25-2020, 11:05 AM

Okay, our all-decade ILBs are Derrick Johnson, Reggie Ragland, Anthony Hitchens, and ... um ... and ... Jovan Belcher.

At this point, and for no reason in particular, I wish to remind people that this tournament was Direckshun's idea. Please direct any comments to Direckshun.

Who the hell is that guy and what cross can we put him on!

By what measure? Traditional stats are inconclusive and they were both run stoppers on teams that sucked at stopping the run. I'm not a huge PFF guy, but for what it's worth, Ragland's season grades (77.6, 54.3, 67.7) are better than Belcher's (60.1, 59.4, 63.1).

I don’t know if we win the Super Bowl without Ragland. Our run d was complete shit before he started getting playing time on run downs

Pasta Little Brioni · 02-25-2020, 12:03 PM

Just scrap the damn 4th guy. Direction is a loon anyway, so don't use his ideas.

L.A. Chieffan · 02-25-2020, 12:31 PM

Other than DJ that is just ugly

Well that proves my point. PFF is always wrong unless they agree with me.
