Cool thread, would read again.

Who's that Donk on the right??

God if we could only get the kind of pass rush we had with those two while Mahomes is our QB ......my God we would rape face

Neil Smith's arms are longer than a Steve Bono run. Bronco or not, you have to admit that he was a physical freak.

Hey, we let him go. Just like Booker. And I said the day we let Booker go we would pay. We still haven't had a presence in the middle like him since we let him walk to the Donks. Though Nadi is making waves.

I think you mean Traylor? Neilbonics told the Donks he was happy "To be Playing with the Good Guys", knocked us out of the playoffs twice and mocked our fans in Arrowhead.

Screw him.

Chris Jones? Dontari Poe?
[Reply]

Yes, my bad, Keith Traylor.
[Reply]

Neither have been what Traylor was. Poe could have been good had we not ran him into the ground.

Jones takes himself out of too many plays, particularly running plays.

Truth be told, as much as I like Jones, I would not have re-signed him. Especially for what we paid him.

I couldn’t disagree more. Poe was a beast at occupying blockers and provided enough pass rush from the nose tackle position to be effective. Jones is the perfect DT for today’s game with its emphasis on the passing game. Traylor was an anchor in the middle, but he wasn’t much of a pass rush threat. He was basically Tony Siragusa who is a player I wouldn’t have traded Poe or Jones for.

The middle requires a run stuffer. We get gashed like crazy up the middle in the run game. Stopping that comes first. Jones is great at the pass rush but he takes himself out of too many running plays.
[Reply]

Traylor was the guy that killed us damnit.
[Reply]

We will have to agree to disagree on this. The linebacker play during Jones’ career has played a major role in how bad the run defense has been. I don’t think Traylor in his prime would make that much of a difference in the run defense the last few years, but he would have been a huge negative in the pass rush.
