The thing is, you can clear up so much money by letting Houston and berry go and not tagging ford
The berry thing probably can’t happen but the other two maybe |

BUT why the **** would you trade Houston or Ford if you don't have a respectable replacement ready to go? Unless the Chiefs can get a first-round pick in the top 15 for each player, there is no reason to send them packing. You won't find a replacement for either of them on the cheap with as much ability and experience. I'm calling bullshit on all these major concerns with who lines up where and if they can. Yes, there will be pains as they all learn different responsibilities, but the defense is going to be running in a 2 or 4 front nickel most of the time like they already did. Ford and Houston will be DEs or upright LBs at the line, and Nnadi and Jones will be the DL.

You move Houston back to LB again and offensive will just start running RB/TEs at him over and over again. He's not fast enough to turn and run with anyone. Houston should be a DE now. He is strong enough to set the edge and quick enough to rush the passer.

I like him better at DE as well. He's our best player at sealing the edge, strong at the Point of attack and a good pass rusher/disrupter. Speaks can continue being a rotational guy unless we get a semi-surprise cut by releasing one of Ford or Houston. Find a SLB in F/A or the draft.

If Vernon can play SLB in this scheme than Houston can. His coverage responsibilities won’t be that much different than they have been.

I would like to say the same about Dee Ford but he isn't physical enough to set the edge and play the run. |

Strong-side defensive end - Lined up to the strong side of the offense, this defensive end will be between the tight end and the tackle, and their primary responsibility is as a run stuffer with a minimal amount of pass rush ability. This is actually a perfect fit to try to maximize last year’s second-round pick Breeland Speaks. Speaks is solid against the run, but looks uncomfortable in space, something he won’t have to contend with often lined up in this spot. With some wanting to kick Speaks inside to 5-tech in the Chiefs 3-4 defense, this situation presents a better opportunity for Speaks to develop as a starting player for the Chiefs. |

A 4-3 with two legitimate pass rushing DEs would be incredibly dangerous for any team that falls behind by 10 or more points.

EDIT: Ok, I could see Houston playing at LEO but then that leaves a hole at SAM. If they could get Wright from the Seahwaks, that would be perfect because that is where he played frequently. |

My line would be Ford-Jones-Nnadi-Houston.

With as much as this team runs out of the nickle and dime looks.....running a 3-4 puts you at a disadvantage because of the type of linemen that you have for your base defense.

I disagree. I think you take off the coverage responsibilities from Ford and let him be a true DE he could do well. Only real problem I have with Ford is his injury history and him finally showing up, in a contract year. I think you end up keeping him or Houston but not both. DE's in FA aren't sexy pickups but good ones can be usually found.
