DeVito: Chiefs to run hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense

[Jerm]

Found this earlier, just thought it was interesting....

"It's really different than anything I'd seen in any kind of traditional defense," DeVito told Soren Petro on The Program. "It's a hybrid 3-4 / 4-3. A lot of different fronts up front, a lot of different movements and things going on and shifts and things like that based on what the offense is doing. A lot of simulated pressure."

Pass rusher at #1 anyone? Dion Jordan come on down....

Actually if I remember correctly, he's actually right, at least in terms of talk. After he was hired that offseason, all the discussion was about how we'd be running a hybrid in the fall.

And I'm not trying to be funny.

Everyone pretty much runs a hybrid now

Yes, but was that more due to the fact that it would be by design, or because we were switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and they wanted to do the usual "well, such and such will still have a place in our defense because we are going to use multiple looks" type deal?

History has shown that Clancy Pendergast was just a placeholder until Pioli got Romeo to commit, so I'm not sure how many parallels we can draw from his failed stint...

Who was it a month ago that said Ziggy Ansah was a potential top 5 pick? I think it was RunKC

If it turns out that way, I need to give that guy some dap.

[RealSNR]

I'm not sure if Bob Newhart is the guy to do this. He doesn't exactly have a history of being a mad scientist capable of making wise decisions in these flex alignments

[CoMoChief]

Trade down to JAX pick and we select Sheldon Richardson...who would tear it up in this defense.

yea but when the season started they never did anything close to that

they ran an awful 34 without the personnel to do it

[Easy 6]

I'd love to see Osi or Freeney brought in for rush help, but we've probably seen the end of the bigger name signings at this point.

But they better figure something out, Hali and Houston simply arent enough, we need someone who can spot both or fill in for an injury.

i think i would rather see a hybrid 1-gap/2-gap system

[Rasputin]

I want to see if Powe can get on the field hoping he didn't get much opportunity with Pioli Poe pick getting the favoritism.

New regime previous picks dont have favoritism.

[Easy 6]

Count me among those who really hope Reid will see something in Powe, in what few chances he's had he's demonstrated remarkable burst and quicks for a man his size.

Watching him collapse not one but three linemen to make a solo tackle was about all i needed to make me want to see more.

Everyone has been saying it since he lit up the combine.

So where will Dumervil fit in this scheme?...
