Chiefs' Tyson Jackson Has Been Working With Former DE Anthony Pleasant

Back in August, we told you about a few coaching interns the Kansas City Chiefs had brought on board to the team's coaching staff. One of those interns, Richie Anderson, has been elevated to a position coach. Another one, Anthony Pleasant, has apparently been working with rookie DE and third overall pick Tyson Jackson.
Jackson has been spending extra time with Pleasant before and after practice on different aspects of the life of a 3-4 defensive end.
The work is apparently helping as Jackson posted a career best seven tackles against the Jaguars last week.
Going into last week, Jackson had two tackles and one assist in the preseason and three tackles and two assists in the regular season.
Anderson is a fourteen year veteran who ended his career with the New England Patriots in 2003. He played on the defensive line, both defensive end (in a 3-4) and defensive tackle. He's appeared in 202 games so experience, particularly in the 3-4, is the biggest thing he has going for him.
He's certainly for the 'Chiefs Connection' with Scott Pioli (CLE 92-95, BAL 96, NYJ 98-99), Todd Haley (NYJ 98-99), and again Pioli (NE 01-03).
Pleasant was never a Pro Bowler but posted his third best number of sacks in his eleventh year, and first with the Patriots in 2001.
Pleasant is (was) 6'5", 280 pounds during his playing career while Jackson is similarly sized at 6'4", 290 pounds.

sweet
I like this. I have always been a big fan of Krumrie, but, if Pleasant is getting those kind of results…maybe a coaching change should be in the works. New England had success with Pepper Johnson doing positional coaching.
Pleasant should know all the techniques a 34 DE needs….Dorsey, Tyson, Gilberry, Magee, and even Gales should take full advantage of a guy like AP.
Nice reporting…I had no idea we had coaching interns.

I Think We Might Have Found Krumrie's Replacement
And I’m all for it if so…as soon as possible.

Do you think Krumrie is the problem
Or is it the talent he’s had to work with?
Predictions:
Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010
Kansas City will win at least seven games in 2010

positional coaches
Teach the craft of the position. They can’t rely on always havng the best talent.
In the NFL you either step up or step out. Its business. Its wins and money…u have to win to make money. Krumrie hasn’t produced results since Jared Allen….its time to go.

He Didn't Even Produce With Allen
Allen was already an effective pass-rusher before Krumrie got here. Krumrie doesn’t have a record of turning out good pass rushers over a pretty long career…and most of the lines he’s worked with have performed terribly. That’s reason enough for me to want him gone. He doesn’t get the job done.

I’m starting to think you just want everyone on the Chiefs coaching staff fired.

Yes, UC wants a hostile takeover for himself ;-)

Ummm...Yeah
I want everyone on the Chiefs’ coaching staff fired. I thought I was really clear about that. I hated every single one of the assistant coaching hires when they were made (and said so…repeatedly) and now I want Haley fired. So yes…I think the Chiefs’ 2009 coaching staff is one epic fail and must be purged.

yeah, that makes sense
I always thought his ‘fiery’ style was well suited to the DL position since it’s so rough there in the trenches…but I could definitely see where the constant screaming would eventually get pretty old.

Krumrie
There has been a lot of discussion during last season as well as this season on AP about him.
The fact is he’s never had someone under his tutellage go to the Pro Bowl…i.e., started with a rookie and developed him to be a Pro-Bowler.
His demeanor is that of a screaming banshee…and only goes so far until it falls on deaf ears. A lot of folks (myself included) were a bit bewildered at his retention when the regime changed.

its simple
He has the exact coaching style as Haley….yell and cuss it until it gets through to you….but like u said it falls on deaf ears.

not sure about that
Haley seems to have toned it down a lot since training camp…at least on game days.
I think he’ll be fine as a coach, as long as he can bring in an OC next season who balances out his personality.

Kansas City will not win more than four games in 2009
Kansas City will have a new OC and DC in 2010

I noticed that too on the sidelines, especialy last week
I was waiting for him to go ape every time the camera was on him, but he was pretty straight faced, even when he sat down next to Cassell on the bench.
Given, it was only 1 game and we’ll see if that continues.
However, if he did go ape on the officials for a bad call and there have been numerous poor calls this season, I would be OK with that.

I've noticed that he's calmed down a lot
He’s been toning it down for several weeks now. It was only the first 3 or 4 games where he was going berserk on the sidelines.
It's years like this that I wish I was a bear. Hibernation would make it so much easier.

Great progress for Jackson
Great to see Jackson put up a big game like that. He’s not going to get 7 tackles every week, that’s not how it works for a DE in our system, but it’s great that he showed in a game that he’s got it in him to play well.
