What will move to 3-4 mean to Chiefs’ Dorsey?
Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Glenn Dorsey, Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City announced its coaching staff this week. What it didn’t announce is that the Chiefs are planning to switch to a 3-4 defense.
Under the guidance of new defensive coaches Clancy Pendergast and Gary Gibbs, the Chiefs are turning to the defense that has done so well for Pittsburgh and is back in vogue in the NFL. The Chiefs are going 3-4.
Now Kansas City is going to have to tailor its personnel accordingly. But what is most intriguing and mysterious about it is where last year’s first-round pick, defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, fits in. Dorsey might not be stout enough to play nose tackle in a 3-4, and he might not be big enough to play end in that style of defense.
One year after becoming Kansas City’s top pick, there now are questions about Dorsey’s role.
But the changes now are coming fast and furious in Kansas City, mainly on defense.

Chiefs CAN’T tell us what roles the new coaching staff will have.
BUT…they can tell Adam Shefter what our new defense is going to be, and that Glen Dorsey is essentially on his way out.
THAT makes a lot of sense.
The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.
