Chiefs Mike Devito says "We Are Building A Bully...We're The Team You Don't Want To Play" - Page 4

SeeingRed · 06-24-2015, 11:05 AM

Mike Devito talks Chiefs Defensive Line, the defense as a whole, how competing with DJ helped him come back from injury etc...pretty cool stuff. He says he has played on a lot of very talented defenses and he has never been around a defense that was this complete or had this much talent before.

Says they have the depth to rotate guys on D-Line because they have 5 high quality defensive linemen. I'll post the shorter 2 minute youtube video here of Devito talking D Line....and the full 17 minute interview link from the KC Chiefs website below that. He says he is recovered 100% and is looking forward to getting back out on the field in 2015 and seeing how good the defense will be. Sounds encouraging. Really good interview.

Is this the thread where we go all Rufus Dawes?

Yeah, looks like it.

Can't wait to see Grigsby lay the wood at FB this year!

200 sacks on defense.

Alice airs it out for a ground-breaking 3,900 yards and 26 TD's.

UNSTOPPABLE.

The best pass rushing teams have multiple guys who can rush and compliment each other. This team has that. Houston is in a GREAT position to do something that has never been done before. Watt had two 20 sack seasons but never back to back....I think Houston has a good shot at this....ESPECIALLY with his contract up in the air.

Catapano will be dead last in our defensive line rotation. To date, the guy hasn't even shown that he belongs on an NFL roster and you're saying he'll get 10+ sacks this season, as a 3-4 DE no less. How many 3-4 DEs in the past 15 years have eclipsed the 10 sack mark? That is exceptionally hard to do from that position.

Seriously. Stop it.

Houston should get 12-20

Hali should get 6-8

Poe should get 4-6

Bailey should get 6-8

Ford could get 5-8

Catapano could get 3-5

Howard could get 4-6

This defense is going to rack up a shit ton of sacks

I know you are 100% correct...it is unlikely. But he has the skill set and will be given the opportunity, so I'm sticking by my guns on it. 10 sacks. And if it happens, it makes the defense much better.

Their 10 yard splits are equally impressive. Poe 1.69 sec; Bailey 1.7 sec; DeVito 1.62 sec; Catapano 1.62 sec; Howard 1.68 sec. This group can really close on the football in a hurry. Too bad Sutton can't play four of them at the same time in a heavy front, big nickel package against 2 TE offenses. Really dominate the line of scrimmage.

My concern is that we don't really know if the secondary is good or not because it may not have really been tested. Did low scoring offense plus poor run defense allow teams to play conservative against the Chiefs? Or did teams play conservative because they actually feared the pass rush and secondary?

More than anything I hope a DJ can return to form. They need a guy that can fill those gaps and play smart. If that happens, then the D line can really shine imo.
