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?

He has also shown that he is not that good in pass coverage.

He's decent, but he's still injured.

I think I read it here, so you can take it for what it's worth, but apparently there were some fisticuffs in the film room with Monty Beisel.

Hope so.

I would post the picture I saw of him if I could, but I don't know exactly how to do that. Here is a link to the thread over at chiefscoalition that had the picture. The picture is first on the 5th page about 2/3s of the way down:

I disagree. And i'll give you my reason. First off, i give him credit for his speed. He's very quick, and if he was healthy, I think he's the fastest LBer on our roster right now. However, it ain't all about speed. Fujita's tackling ability is poor. I've seen him so many times attempting to tackle the ball carrier with one arm, instead of attempting to hit the ball carrier, wrap him up, and tackle him to the ground. His instincts are bad, he bikes on fakes, and gets the sheeeiit deeked out of him. I don't like his coverage ability. I think he's a liability in that aspect of his game. I question his aggresiveness from time to time. I never see him play with a mean streak. the only positive attributes I can comment about Fujita's game are his speed and very average tackling ability. He's a backup LB. I think he's gonna lose his job.

You can't see his legs in that picture, but he does definately look like he has a lot less blubber up top.

it kinda sucks that Mitchell is our only option right now at MLB (unless Boomer learns quick). We need to have our best talent on the field and there are 4 or 5 other LBs better than Mitchell on our roster. And I like hearing all this rave about Fox, sounds awesome! put him, DJ, Bell our there! If Fujita and Barber get healthy than we are loaded!

Yeah those 4 or 5 guys are so much better then Mitchell that so far they've offered no competition for the MLB position. And Mitchell is so bad that Gun still has Bell at ROLB when everyone on the Planet knows he should be playing MLB..........
