Derrick Johnson Is Not Derrick Thomas... - Page 14

Tombstone RJ · 08:46 PM

...but I have a feeling King Carl and Gunther took Derrick II to bring back the leadership that Thomas provided the chefs when the chefs actually played defense.

Sorry to bum you all out, but Derrick Johnson is not gonna stop teams from running all over the chef's defense.

The chef's have made some nice moves to improve their defense (hell, any moves at all would be nice) but the chefs still have a mediocre to bad defensive line. Hicks, Simms, Jelly, Browning, Allen & company are not going to stop the run any better than they did last year. Khari Long is a mystery right now, so I won't comment on him.

Bell is a good LB, if he can stay healthy, and that is a big if. So, the chefs will probably start DJ at LOLB, Bell at MLB and Barber at ROLB, which is respectable, IF Bell stays healthy and Johnson makes the transition to the speed and power of the NFL without losing a step. LB depth is a problem with the chefs. Grigsby will help provide depth, but he is an ILB. To me, this says that the chef's are still concerned about Bell's health.

Surtain will certainly improve the chefs secondary, but he is the only change that will immediately make an impact. Hodge will provide depth for the chefs, and that's nice. If Hodge steps in immediately, its more a reflection of how crappy the chefs secondary is, rather than how good Hodge is.

Congrats on taking Derrick the Second. Too bad he's gonna get run over by Mike Anderson.

Sounds like you just have a temper problem, III.

Sounds like some Donkey fans are pulling out all the stops trying to convince themselves that getting Derrick Johnson at #15 isn't a HUGE STEAL.

So yall can comment on this cause you dont know the kind of health condition I have.

If you wanna know, I have the Attention Deficit Disorder, so alot of times it trigures and i'll say things I dont mean.

And Yes I Know I Was Out Of Line.

Um, I have ADD and I don't blurt out things I don't mean. That's called Tourette Syndrome.

Picking DJ must've been the right move.

I don't recall ever seeing so many bitches telling us how "KC's pick sucks" after any other draft since the beginning of Chiefsplanet.

Keep on sucking it, and don't spill a drop.

Correction: Clarice *IS* a bum. He might be able to turn it around, but anyone that walks out on a workout and doesn't finish when people paid to come see him is a bum.

Don't get mad at me because the chef's defense stunk last year. I know the Broncos ran the ball successfully against the chef's and I know the chef's lost more games than they won.

Are you .......... like 12?

Be very afraid, Dorkos. Derrick "lights out" Johnson is warming up for your team and is a donkey killer. Putting the mules down is the buisiness at hand. We'll be ready.

Maurice Gibbs is much faster..................

The ADD had nothing to do with his anger, it's the anger problem and being a grownup baby is what he needs to work on.

I told him to Chalk it up as a lesson learned.
