Chiefs Chiefs All-Decade Team - Defensive Tackles

**Rain Man** · 03:47 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 defensive tackles. FIVE defensive tackles will make the all-decade team. So pick FIVE defensive tackles.

The current defensive line plus peak Poe.

**Rain Man** · 02-27-2020, 11:02 AM

I thought that Poe, Jones, and Nnadi were obvious votes, and was surprised that Nnadi is our third-most seasoned defensive tackle of the past decade in terms of starts.

The #4 and #5 spots were tough. They came down to Ron Edwards, Bennie Logan, Jarvis Jenkins, Xavier Williams, or Mike Pennel. Edwards is underrated because he was a pure nose tackle and won't get the stats. Jenkins was versatile, and I thought Bennie Logan played very well during his one season with us. Xavier Williams is a good all-around player, and of course Mt. Pennel was insurmountable.

In the end, though, you have to pick Pennel for his heroic run stopping moments, even if he doesn't have much seniority. And for my #5 spot I went with Bennie Logan.

Looks like everyone loved Pennel's contributions to our run defense. Hope we can re-sign him.

What's a quarterback doing in this group?

You mean a running back?

What about Ropati Pitoitua? Didn't he see any regular season action?

I had him in the DE category as a 3-4 end.

I wish I could go back and vote for Kelly Gregg over who I ended up voting for, in Bennie Logan.

Gregg was really good the one year he was here.
