kcdan – it would take 3-4 fresh faces and a bit of rearranging but we could probably pull it off after a couple of seasons of acquiring the right players. First off, we would have to bring in a true NT which means you then probably slide Dorsey to RDT/RDE. But if you do that, then you better have a really dominant SLB/ILB combo behind him – Aaron Curry comes to mind. Then you probably move DJ to ILB on the weak side. Not sure what you do with DeMorrio – he might work out as WLB. I say we’re probably looking at needing NT, 1 ILB, and 2 OLBs and at least a couple of those would need to be considered heavyweights in their respective roles.

I was born in ’63, and remember my Dad talking about meeting Buck while bowling in a league one time. My Dad watched as Big Buck would PALM a bowling ball and whirl that thing down the alley. My Dad got his autograph, but I have no idea what happened to it – I just remember the story – I was just a kid. (and lived in Lee’s Summit, MO at the time)

Crennel has experience with both systems…He ran a 4-3 early in New England before they switched…

So he may be able to help us transition smoothly…

I’m only commenting to make sure you guys keep doing this. I too was born in 79 and enjoy reading about the history of the Chiefs.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
