Gunther planning to use 3-4 defense in likely passing downs
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/footb...de-scoop_x.htm

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?

Either way, while we may have the personnel at LB, I don't see it on the line. Not for a base 3-4. But that's not really what we're talking about here, so my guess is if that if we're going 3-4 for nickel/long yardage (and I'm not convinced yet that we are, but for the sake of argument), it's probably not going to be a traditional 3-4 look, I'd imagine more of a pure pass rush package, with Browning on the nose, Allen and Hall on the ends, LBs set up for pressure. That's more feasible now than in the past because the speed at LB should make us less susceptible to draws and misdirection for long yardage.
Why don't you consider Junior a Nose Tackle candidate? He's 6'4" 336 lbs. .

Most base nickel and dime coverages have 4 down linemen.

He's not a 2-gap DT.

The only guy on our roster that's ever been in a 2-gap defense is Dalton.

No, I don't. I think all our tackles (such as they are...) are prototypical inside pressure 4-3 types. I don't think we have a fireplug/block eater.

Maybe so, but I still think he could hold the line as the nose tackle in obvious passing downs. He's strong as an ox and just needs some reps, IMO.

Or Sims and Siavii. Your need size on the line in the 3-4; those three are our biggest/strongest linemen. As has already been mentioned however, they'll need to learn/practice the two-gap system. It's not difficult to learn... just take a bit to learn the footing and how to apply leverage.

browning is about the only 3-4 defensive end we have.

although they have some young guys on the roster now who have the size to play one.

don't know if any are good though

Actually, there was some concern the Siavii lacked lower-body strength coming out of college...

One of the reasons Gun was brought in was because the line (particularly Sims and Hicks) supposedly suffered because of Robinson's 2-gap read-and-react system. Gunther was supposed to move Hicks outside and put Sims back in a 1-gap technique to fix all of our problems.

I should have said in my other post -- the only guy that's been reasonably SUCCESSFUL in a 2-gap system is Dalton.

The guy with the prototypical size for NT is Montique Sharpe, but he just doesn't have the skill, apparently.

I totally forgot about Browning. Actually, we could have Browning and Hicks in a 3-4. That might not be too bad. Then who would be the NT? We don't have that many 2-gap players. Dalton is the only 2-gap player. That's what Htismaqe was saying earlier. So if we ran a 3-4, what do you think of having Browning, Dalton, and Hicks as our defensive lineman?

Anybody can find question marks about any player if they dig hard enough. Just look at Derrick Johnson. Right or wrong, I believe he could become a solid nose tackle.
