Hali's getting older and his speed is diminishing, so he'll be less effective as a rushing OLB. That said, his strength seems to be better than ever so why couldn't he be a good power rusher off the right side? Houston is essentially the same size as Clemons but a better athlete, why not try him as an LDE? I think he'd be elite at it. Poe would be a monster as an under-tackle where he can use his unusual speed for his size to really collapse the pocket, especially with that beef from Powe alongside him.

I still think that DJ is a better SAM, but with this roster he would have to play the Mike.

I love this personnel for a 4-3 conversion. You'd need a couple of new OLBs but we need a new DE and one more ILB right now to begin with. So if you're replacing 2 guys off your front 7 in either scheme, why not move to the 4-3 right now?

agreed, i think we transition to a 4-3 pretty easily.


Hell, we might have players that fit a 4-3 better than they do the 3-4.

TJax is just a piece of crap. But I think he's at his least crappy in a 3-4.

This.

Dump his ass, save $17M.

If we move to the 4-3.....then I'll honestly be praying that Te'o falls on draft day. I would easily trade up into the 20-25 range to draft him. All you would need is an OLB to finish the LB group.

Pioli and Hunt were together for the Atlanta interviews.

PHILADELPHIA (KCTV) -
Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is interviewing Andy Reid in Philadelphia about the team's head coach opening, while another of the job's candidates no longer appears available.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Hunt is in Philadelphia meeting with Reid, who also reportedly plans to meet with the Arizona Cardinals ownership later this week about their opening.

No word if Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is with Hunt in the meetings with Reid.

Mortensen said Pioli was with Hunt when he met with two Atlanta Falcons coaches about replacing Romeo Crennel.

One of those coaches, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, signed a contract extension with the Falcons during the overnight hours. The Falcons announced Wednesday morning Koetter would be staying after signing the one-year extension.

Hunt and Pioli also interviewed Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong on New Year's Day.

Snagging Reid would be a big get for Hunt. Reid has a history of cultivating NFL quarterbacks, starting with Donovan McNabb. He was the league's most tenured coach before he was ousted following Sunday's game.

Some media outlets reported Reid is a done deal in Arizona, but Hunt swooped in to interview Reid before the former Eagles coach travels west.

What qualities is Hunt looking for in the next head coach? Click here for more details, including KCTV5 sports anchor Michael Coleman's exclusive interview with Hunt.

yea, maybe.

He looked better when he was allowed to attack though.

doesn't matter, he is probably gone because i doubt any player would be willing to take a 75% pay cut and stay with their existing team. It's too insulting/embarrassing.

Jovan had his chance to do right by this city.

Houston played 4-3 end in college.

He can absolutely rape faces at that position. He's around 270 lbs.

Well, maybe he was... using Pioli as a footrest the whole time. Or making him serve drinks. Like, demeaning him in front of his peers.

Yeah, I'll go with that.

That's what really got me looking into the conversion; when the talks of Te'o falling started.

Te'o as the Mike with DJ as the Sam and the full conversion to a 4-3 could make this a top 5 defense. You use your 3rd on Rambo to replace Lewis and pursue another DT in FA in case Powe really does suck.

But I don't see Te'o falling out of the top 10, at least not that far out of the top 10.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

So, I'm cooking breakfast and listening to 610 and this Ian Rappaport comes on. I've seen his tweets before. Dude sounds like he's 23 years old, and a complete ****ing dumbass. Pimping Ferentz. This guy said he's the Andy Reid of college coaching.

Pioli must be in his pocket. He's a dumb mother****er regardless. Anyone hear that shit? 610 guys were cracking me up. Said they'd hang up on anyone including interviews that brought up Ferentz' name again.
