I dont understand what they are trying to do on defense. That team is worse fit for the 3-4 then the jets were when eric mangini came to town. Glenn Dorsey is by no means a two gap player. Tamba Hali will never be a 3-4 backer, He just doesnt have the athleticism. Derrick johnson is undersized and isnt going to want to take on blockers. And Demorrio Williams??? The dude is 220lbs how is he gonna take on ovr 300lb guards? None of this makes any sense and its a pure mockery to see this take place. Am I missing something here?
Let's not forget that the best 3-4 linebacker on the team, Mike Vrabel, really doesn't want to play for KC. He's been quiet, but it must suck to have a cult following in Massachusetts and then be banished to fucking Missouri. You'd think Pioli might have recognized that fact before he traded for him. Oh well. Fuck Scott Pioli and fuck Mike Vrabel. With the probable exception of Asante Samuel, all fruit of the Belichick tree has spoiled shortly after leaving it's branches.
Chances are, they won't be implementing a 3-4 right away. I'm sure they'll run some form of hybrid until they get the proper personnel in there just like Mangini did his first year here. Supposedly Pioli has had an eye for talent, but Beli played a huge role for making much of these guys into his system. As of late tho, I haven't really seen much talent coming out of New England as much as they sign. Just look at their recent drafts and you'll see many that many of their picks don't usually play there for long. So I don't really know what to make out of Pioli right now.
When these guys leave town with Belli’s playbook; there is no provisioning in it for the 4-3. Being uncreative retards whose stock rose simply for breathing the foxborough air, they have no choice but to try to ram the 3-4 down wherever they goes throat.
if cassell can actually have time to throw, they may win 5 games. that defense and Todd Haley are not destined for anything special.
