Top 3-4 DE against the Run
This is about a month old, so it may have already been posted. But I just found it and I think it is a great read. According to Pro Football Focus Tyson Jackson (#1) and Glenn Dorsey (#6) were two of the best 3-4 DE in run defense in 2011. For everyone that says we need to trade/letgo these guys, this article lets you know how important they are to our Defense. Also, keep in mind, these guys are putting up these numbers without a dominant NT. Alot of people want to see Dorsey leave as a free agent, but I would gladly resign him to a reasonable contract (5yrs, $30-35 million). Some may see this as too much money, but keep in mind: a) $6-7million is the going rate for an above average 3-4 DE, and b) this would actually decrease Dorseys annually salary which was $10mil/year from his rookie contract.
With Tamba being Tamba, and Houston really coming into his own, I think the Chiefs pass rush will take off this year. If we can continue to improve our pass rush, while maintaining our strong run play, this Defense is ready for big things.
Now if only the offense could stay healthy to put up points...
A very Berry secondary? We have to get these guys!
You have to check out this ESPN recruiting article about the Berry twins, Elliot and Evan. They are the younger brothers of our very own Uric Berry. They will only be sophmores in high school this year, but Pioli should keep an eye on them. Can you imagine a Chiefs secondary that is 3/4 filled with the Berry family? There is a picture currently on the ESPN recruiting home page of the twins.
One last note, I apologize for the corny title, couldnt help myself, haha.
