If your defense is on the field alot, which for the Chiefs is often the case, a lot of those guys are gonna pileup and get tackles.
Our DE's suck. I agree. I see what you're trying to say, great DE's can make a DT job a lot easier. I agree, But then that could go vice versa. So imo can't really use that analogy.
A really really dominating DT in the middle can make average DE's into solid players. It works both ways. If we had JA, maybe Dorsey woulda been playing a lot better in the middle? but now that JA is gone, I think thats part of the reason Dorsey was drafted to be that centerpiece on the DL. to freeup the DE's and the LB's to make plays. But it hasn't happened and there is no excuse when your team finished the season with 9 sacks and can't stop the run worth anything.

Yes, but you can't realistically expect that type of play (making players around you much better than they really are) from a rookie DT.
