Chiefs defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham is the latest coach planning the 3-4 scheme as a sub package. Cunningham plans to implement the 3-4 in likely passing downs to maximize Kansas City's improved defensive speed.

I like the sound of this. Who do you think would normally be out there on defense in these situations?

Where'd they get that from? That's the first I've seen of that.

The USA Today has sources man. Sources!

Key Fox gonna fuk u up!!!

Yeeeeaaaah! Sources! I say let's make Ryan Sims a middle linebacker! Yeeeeaaaah! [/Howard Dean]

Sounds like he's really looking to get Bell involved in the defense and rushing the QB...

I've got an idea that's a million times better than running the 3-4. When the opposing team has a 3rd and 5 or more, we'll line up in a 4-3 and at the snap both of our defensive ends will drop 30 yards back into pass coverage. That's gotta work, right?

Falcon.

Should do a 4-4 Package.

If Siavii has developed enough since last year, we have the makings of a pretty dominant 3-4 group. I've always thought that we would implement some 3-4 once we signed Bell, we definately have the personnel to do it. This is good news to me!

You had your chance, Greg.

Heh, I was thinking 1-6 package. :)

Parker doesn't think so.......I don't either, something we do agree on.

Our DL is a big question mark....If Siavii/Sims/Dalton/Browning becomes animals, OK, I can see it. But keep inmind, we are lacking is quality DE's that are good containment and run stoppers, guys who can take on 2 blockers, same goes for the DT's.

I think we have the speed and players who can tackle in out LB's ( keeping a fingers crossed Mitchell can tackle )

I'm just not sold on the DE's and DT's for a 3-4.

NO doubt. Then we could get Scanlon, Grigsby, D.J., Mitchell, Fox, and Bell on the field at the same time.

How about 0-7, then we could get Fujita as well?
