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?

Or...and here me out here....we cut the dude that can't play at a high level anymore because his foot hurts and we go get someone that actually plays that position.

I think the ILB spot is about to be way more valuable than the past 10 years. If you can have 2 guys in there that can play all 3 downs and run, Kuechly, Bowman in his prime etc, you can do it all. |

The Buchannon trade would make sense if that's what you're trying to do.

It would at least explain the 290 pound outside linebackers.

The 4-3/3-4 conversation I don't think is as big of a deal as it used to be. The NFL is dominated by sub packages and the most valuable defensive players tend to be guys who can stay on the field and be successful against multiple personnel. The "base" defense that I am more interested in is who is on the field against 3 WR sets (most commonly used personnel package by offenses these days).
That's why I am so high on a guy like O'Daniel- should be a defender who isn't overwhelmed against the run in 3 WR sets, but matches up well against RB's and TE's. |

I think if we go to more of a hybrid, Hitchens makes more sense than Ragland. I don't see any problem having Kpass as a down lineman (sort of) with Nnadi and Jones on the inside and rotate Speaks and Houston. That way we can get rid of Ford. Sure, Ford is having a good season, but don't they all in a contract year. He's injured way too much. to tie up a lot of money in him. Explain to me how he got hurt enough to be iffy before he got tossed last week. We have to start getting more snaps for O'D and Niemann as well.

I think NFL defenses are going to shift toward a 4-2-5 defense. We will probably see all D-Line personnel weighing 300+ and specialize in stuffing the run. ILBs are going to become the premium position going forward. NFL offenses have everything stacked in their favor and the college spread is here to stay.
This article does make a lot of sense and I can easily see us going with a 4 front and using Houston and Speaks as our pass rushing end that will be rotated often to keep them fresh. Ford is gone after this season if that happens. I’d love to see somebody similar to Jabrill Peppers added to our secondary/LB Corp too. That hybrid position is going to become very popular.

If anyone has had the unfortunate mishap of reading one of my posts, you know that I hate Bob Sutton. I think he is too rigid in his scheme, and doesn't put players in a position to succeed by scheming to their strengths.
But, having said that, it doesn't matter what defense we run, 3-4 or a 4-3, because our linebackers, outside of Ford, are just too damn slow. Not that Sutton could put fast linebackers in a position to succeed, but at least fast linebackers could potentially negate Sutton's suckyness. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk |

I don't think it matters what we do. This draft class was so bad, Hitchens has been a bust of a signing, and our highest paid defensive players are all broken and/or will be leaving soon. There are very few building blocks on defense. The defense will likely be just as bad if not worse in 2019.
