Is a defensive 4-3 change coming to KC?
I saw this article from arrowhead addict. The guy had an interesting theory that KC might be thinking about switching to the 4-3 scheme based on some recent draft picks and other things. Thought it was worth discussing. What do you say experts? Any merit to what this guys saying?

The Chiefs don't really play a 34 or 43 now. It's so much subpackage and odd fronts I don't know that it really matters.

They're in pass coverage all the time. The defense hasn't changed at all. They're making plays. Plain and simple.

That's why I hate that gripe. Anytime you send 4 guys, you gotta make a choice and put one of those guys out in the pattern.

The problem with our run defense: 1. Dee Ford is shit against the run 2. Reggie Ragland is shit in general 3. Our safeties are shit against the run 4. Nnadi needs a season to develop I think a scheme change could be beneficial |

You have the numbers? I'd love to see them.

Having all those guys just rush is how you get gashed vs the run. Jones already guesses enough as it is, leaving gaps open.
Now one could argue that in todays league getting run against doesn't really matter, but you've gotta play disciplined. |

Yeah, that's essentially what I was suggesting.

Houston's less easy to do that to because he's able to get into a body and disengage before starting his pass rush so he can deal with both. But then we get back to where we always get on this argument - Houston's simply better in coverage than Ford is. Sutton has to play some guessing games to keep teams off-balance when it comes to how he's dealing with his OLB's, that's for damn sure. And if he's wrong, there's a play to be made there. Again - I'm not a fair ask here because I'm a 4-3 proponent but the simplicity of the scheme and it's general repeatability makes it a better call for a team that's likely going to see a lot of defensive turnover in the near future due to contracts needed on the offensive side of the ball. It's less dynamic but it's also a hell of a lot less prone to simply misfiring and leaving gaps, IMO.

I just don't think these days theres much damn difference. Teams aren't sitting in the base d very much anymore. Look at the top D's in the league. They just have so much talent. I think that's the only way to slow down these offenses. Just stack your D with crazy talent everywhere and hope. Essentially, good luck |

I just don't think Ford has the mass for that. I could see an argument for a 4-3 with a base front of Houston - Williams/Nnadi - Jones - Bailey and Ford as your Will, but that's gonna have Ford in coverage quite a bit. If take Bailey out of there (who's played damn well) and move Ford down, you're going to have a serious lack of beef down low. Especially if O'Daniel is now your Will. You can't move Ford to the strong side because he would just get murdered over there. And all of that presumes that either guy can effectively make a transition back to end, which is a pretty massive assumption to make it its own right.
It just doesn't work. What Sutton's doing by mixing up who he sends is far more difficult to deal with, IMO.
