Derrick Johnson Is Not Derrick Thomas... - Page 5

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.

Furthermore, you might as well have drafted Verne Troyer in the 2nd round. Not only was that guy a reach, but he's tiny. What, with him and Quinten Griffin, your Donks might have the shortest team in the league.

Actually, the AFC West might be the shortest divison, with Sproles and McCleon.

Stop pouting, it is pathetic.

Yeah, 15 years from now you'll realize that he was the greatest thing in the world, and he'll mean everything to you.

Roy, I'm betting you don't have insurance, or you may be on your father's insurance. In that case, I'd say your SOL.

Nice car, BTW.

34-24 a win is a win. Griffin rushed 23 times for 156 yards, a 6.8 ypc.

Yeah, it was the highlight of his career.

III, listen to Vlad. He's right. It's pathetic. There's no reason whatsoever that you should hate your dad, considering the fact that him and your mother have brought you to this world and to be part of his family. There were numberous of times where I got pissed off at my dad for several reasons, but I don't hate him. No matter how old you are, as long as your dad is still around, you will have no choice (other than that you run away, which I wouldn't advise it) but to respect him and his wishes, no matter what, even if you disagree.

Come on man, deal with it.

You think he will put up those numbers this year when we play you?

I hate to bumb YOU out, but your defensive line filled with Browns rejects is worse than our line. Our upgrade at LB and in the secondary puts our defense on par with yours (if not better when it's said and done). And then should I move to the offensive side of the ball and special teams? Um, yeah, didn't think so. I read the Bronco boards, and everyone over there is bumbed out about the Chiefs off-season. We have every right to be ecstatic about the upgrades, but they haven't done it on the field yet. Your "insight" probably isn't going to enlighten a board full of fans who probably know a bit more about our team's strengths and weaknesses than you.

What was KC's defensive ranking last year? What was the Broncos?

Heh.

If I was a Broncos fan I would be talking about last year non stop as well. I would shudder thinking about this upcoming season.
