Given how football at all levels is continuing it's emphasis on passing and running out of pass heavy alignments and personnel groupings, it makes sense to think that adding another ILB who can cover, rush the passer, and is effective playing the run/gap integrity is a complete ****ing waste.

The game has advanced to the point where the pure "thumper" linebacker is a dinosaur, or at least a wooly mammoth. Having two guys like DJ and Van Noy in the middle allows you to constanty pressure the pocket due to their speed, be able to drop one/rush one and not have to worry about pass coverage liabilities, and have two guys who are three down backers who can play inside and out (especially Van Noy who plays exceptionally long). I think having a 34 with DJ and Van Noy would provide immense versatility and flexibility on any down, any distance. Especially when you couple them with a guy like Berry. |

That is a valid opinion. Guys like Van Noy and DJ are great if the defensive line is able to keep them clean. I wouldnt want Van Noy regularly taking on guards, which is a typical role of a S-ILB. I think the chiefs have been using berry in a "linebacker" hybrid role. In anycase, it seems like the chiefs tend to sub out a linebacker (akeem jordan) for additional dbs. Jordan only played 483 snaps. You all sugest that might change if the chiefs had a player like Van Noy, but I am not so sure. They might prefer, and their scheme might dictate that they have an additional db. |

He would keep us from getting gases against the run when we have to bring in another DB cause our silb sucks and can't cover. |
