gunther cunningham loves the blitz like few others

Not in recent years. Their LBs and CBs accounted for exactly 2 sacks last year.

usually the center goes for a DT and the free guard slides to help the OT who is lined up against the best speed rusher

and if interior DL get doubled teamed, like i said earlier, it's your big DTs who are strong enough to require 2 blockers

on the chefs, that's tank tyler

You're wrong again, SFP. I played OL, so I know a thing or two about blocking schemes. The center, in pass protection, has his head on a swivel (as we like to call it) and he's looking for a blitz or pressure from one of the interior linemen (DT). The guard is seldom freed from blocking one of the interior guys. He'll pass the DT off to the center if the DT rushes inside, and if there's a blitz, the guard that's free will pick it up. The tackles are usually on their own with the DEs unless they get help from the halfback or fullback. In no way is a guard freed up that fast that they immediately go after the best speed rusher. In fact, it's very, very rare that you see them slide that far out to help with a DE. That frees up a huge gap in the line for a LB to come in hard on a delayed blitz and wreck the play. Tackles play their position for a reason: because they can usually handle the DE by themselves.

Just stop posting on the subject. You don't know what you're talking about.

Again, like someone else pointed out, there is no DE that warrants a double team on the Chiefs.

and i'd like to point out again that the DT that warrants a double team on the chefs is tyler

quote:

usually the player who gets the most interior pass rush will get the double team.

sadly tha may be tank tyler also

this depends on the scheme

with a DT lined up DIRECTLY over the center like tank tyler was, the center will have to engage

this creates the gaps to shoot for the 3-tech DT, which dorsey was supposed to be in the old tampa2-esque scheme

it's pretty much impossible to double a 3-tech DT in the tampa 2 for this reason. there will be 3 DL lined up over 3 OL due to alignment of the DL. on the weak side of the DL you'll put your best pass rusher, who is INCREDIBLY important for his pass rushing

it still comes down to the fact that if he can't stay healthy or get in shape, he is going to have a very short career. There were rumors about him being traded during the offseason (KC would have taken the cap hit) and he didn't play well last year whether u want to admit it or not. Ellis is the better DT of the 2 at this point and not admitting that is blind homerism

So let me get this straight.. If I incorporate a west coast scheme for my team and I draft Barry Sanders to be my RB then when he doesnt do well IN ONLY ONE SEASON then Barry Sanders is overrated? Gotcha

drafting barry sanders for a west coast team would be more stupid than drafting dorsey when you run a 3-4 (i know the person who drafted dorsey didn't run a 3-4)

Holy hell that's some stupid shite; if either one had a better year, it was Dorsey over Ellis. Just stop proving ignorance. In fact, please stop associating with LSU & Saints fans; people see the stupid coming out of you and it looks bad on the rest of us.

So Ellis had 2 more pass deflections

and like 5 times the sacks
