Pioli envisions Dorsey playing DE in 3-4

The Chiefs now plan to use Glenn Dorsey at defensive end in their new 3-4 alignment.
Dorsey played nose in pre-draft camps, but he's slated to start opposite Tyson Jackson with Alex Magee and Alfonso Boone other options outside. Tank Tyler is the nose tackle. This defense still projects to be soft against the run.
It looks like the Chiefs Management want to give Dorsey a look at playing DE. He's kind of small to play the position in regards to his height which is 6-1 and change. Ideally the Defensive End in a 3-4 should be taller in the range of about 6-4. The weight of Dorsey is about right for a DE in a 3-4.
We'll see if the position will best maximize his talents, or will it hamper his development playing in a position that he is uncomfortable. Time will tell I suppose.
“Obviously, they’ve had a little trouble stopping people (last year), and I don’t think in this league you have much of a chance to win if you can’t slow the other offense down,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said about drafting defensive players with the top three choices. “Just the way it worked out I would say more than by design. But it’s something I’m happy about.”
Jackson and Magee can play a variety of defensive-line positions. Jackson will be starter at end but could move to tackle in passing situations. Magee’s role is less defined, but he probably will move around as well.

Yes
I think this is where he’ll start off at. Besides Dorsey, they’ve only got a rookie to step in.
Haley said in his latest press conference regarding Dorsey:
I would still see Glenn as outside right now.
I think he’ll be there in training camp.

Not sure that media knows what Todd means by "outside"
They asked if he was gonna play NT and i think he responded “[we] still see Glenn as outside right now”. Could this mean the under-tackle, as in the 5 technique??? Just thinking out-loud
As i remember thats what Glenn was playing in mini-camp, not a true 5 or 6 tech DE…correct me if i’m wrong.

This is not a pure 3-4
I think they will use a 5 tech on one side and a three tech on the other — if you look at the 4-3 under schematic, they use this alignment as well
by bas on Apr 27, 2009 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
43- under
There will be a 5 tech on both sides, with a 3 tech on the “under” side and a NT.
I think by “outside” they mean the 3 tech, as opposed to what the reporter was asking. I think the reporter was uninformed and was asking whether Dorsey would play the NT in a 3-4, which the answer would be no.
My point is we are playing an under and Dorsey will be playing the 3 tech. Or thats my understanding so far.

So I guess...
this means we will be running a traditional 3-4, huh? I thought he was going to play a 3-technique still? Whatever, I hope it works out because I want Dorsey to succeed here.

I wonder in Jackson's selection
if his and Dorsey’s chemistry playing together was a factor at all or if it was merely a perk to the man they wanted

Why would Pendergast run a true 3-4?
This team still doesn’t have the Pieces to run base 3-4 and the talent we had and drafted would make this a perfect opportunity to run the 4-3 under. We had the DT talent and drafted the 3-4 Ends. We’re still short on LB’s to fill out a quality 8-9 man LB roster. And moving quality DE depth to questionable LB is just not realistic.
I think Haley mispoke or was misquoted. Haley is an O-guy. Granted Head Coach O-guy.
Maybe Pendergast needs to weigh in a little on D positioning?

He wouldn't
We aren’t running a true 3-4, and anyone that thinks we are has not been paying attention. Haley has said not only that he wouldn’t run a scheme he didn’t have the personnel for, but that the base defense is the “under”. Pendergast has never run a true 3-4, he has run a 4-3 under. They would not make Pendergast run a defense he wasn’t comfortable with. Besides, we don’t have enough depth at linebacker to run a true 3-4. Steve_Chiefs is absolutely right about this.

Not only are we set up better, in general, for the 4-3 under...
but this makes so much sense b/c of where Dorsey will play in the scheme – he’ll be a beast as a true 3-technique

I agree with you, Keyser Sose, this 4-3 under scheme will not only give Dorsey the opportunity to be a beast, but will elevate everyone’s game as well. I think this defense can be truly dominating!

he is trying to deflect, so he is not being specific about the positions. Haley doesn’t really care if we understand the defensive scheme.

I agree
We are set up to run 4-3 under, I would think that dorsey would be the 3 tech de which would put him on the weak side and a lot of one on ones because of the backer on the outside of tackle
by tdbowe on Apr 27, 2009 7:44 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Someone clear this up for me
they’re gonna use him as a DE in a 3-4 scheme whos responsibility is to stop and stuff the run? Dorsey’s real talent coming out of college was his ability to rush the passer. So they projected him as 4-3 DT, a Haynesworth type player (big man who can get to the ball). We get him and then use him as the undertackle in the 4-3, but instead of getting to the passer his assingment was to take on double teams and to stop the run? If thats correct, then basically he still has the same assingment. But why did he do this last year? What the hell was Tank doing? They were putting him 1 on 1 with the center or guard? Why wouldn’t it been the other way around or is just my understanding of last seasons scheme faulty?
If my understanding of the situation isnt, I guess it would be better in the long run to find someone whos natural skillset is to play the position as opposed to forcing a guy to play a position that under utilizes his talents. Just because he’s a great player who we picked very high and invested a lot of money in doesn’t mean we should tailor a defense to him. If he doesn’t fit, he doesn’t fit. And I’d rather we get good return for him while he has low mileage, but seeing how unsexy Pioli’s draft had been I’d rather we keep him ; ^ )

In 2008 without Jared Allen
Dorsey became the prime focus of O-line to stop his penetration. Hali oustside was not much threat and the LB’s didn’t pressure. If another Haley comment can be taken for fact ( I know you shouldn’t discount one quote and cite another) Jackson will play on weak side End.
Jackson at 5-tech and Dorsey at 3-tech ( doesn’t this sandwich the LT)
Tyler at 1-tech on strong side with Will Johnson to blitz weak side A gap or cover or weak outside
Hali/Mcbride at 4 tech to stuff RT and Zach Thomas at Mike to blitz/stuff stronside B gap
Vrabel at Sam to stop the strong side outside and jam TE.
This is the best I can do with my limited knowledge. WE need the D-gurus to step up and explain their take on this changed situation Post draft:)

Wait...
who is the “predator” in your scenario. Why would Hali be lined up on the strong side?
by I_Bleed_Red. on Apr 28, 2009 2:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Dorsey will line up as the "under" DT
In the 4-3 under scheme, you use the nose tackle to line up between the center and guard to the strong side to force them to have to double team the nose guard. You then line up the “under” defensive tackle (Dorsey) on the outside shoulder of the guard to the weak side, with a defensive end line up to the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle on the weak side, getting the one on one match-up you want for that “under” defensive tackle on the weak side guard of the offense. This suites Dorsey to a “T”, as he will be double-teamed a whole lot less than last year, allowing him to get penetration in the backfield, stuffing the run AND pressuring the quarterback. If you haven’t had a chance to really study the 4-3 defense, there have been several posts in here outlining the scheme, and how it translates to the personnel we have. We DO NOT have personnel to run a true 3-4 defense, and will take at least another year before we do, so this hybrid defense, that almost could be considered a 5-2 defense, is the way to go, because it utilizes the types of defenders common to both 3-4 and 4-3 defense put together in a unique way that is supposed to be very good at stopping the run, forcing a lot of third and longs where you have a better chance to rush the passer. If you look at the personnel the Chiefs have in the defensive front seven, they are pretty much perfect for the 4-3 under scheme, which is the scheme they lined up in mini camp most of the time, and I think they will catch a lot of other teams off guard, which may be another reason you don’t hear Pioli or Haley really talking about the scheme. I myself am very excited to see how they pull it off!

I almost...
wouldn’t mind keeping this defense in place for the long haul. If Arizona had a more dominant predator than Bertrand Berry and another good strarting corner opposite of Rodgers-Cromartie their D could have been dominant. I think our players have way more potential than Arizona’s front seven with the exception of Karlos Dansby (by the way can anyone tell me if he signed a long term deal?).
Tyson Jackson > Antonio Smith
Glen Dorsey > Darnell Dockett
I think DJ could be serviceable at the Will and a future Mike will not be too hard to find. I’m just worried about the predator position and Vrabel’s replacement. I think Tamba Hali is the keystone to this team. If we need anyone to break out its him because it will solidify a position that is hard to fill.

4-3 under
The 3 tech dt would see a lot of one on one and would be your best interior rusher. I would see dorsey there. Jackson could be your 5 tech. This player needs to be a run stopper, but not a great pass rusher. He will hit the c gap. Looks good to me. Tank playing NT. DJ would be Will backer and Thomas the Mike backer. Vrabel would be Sam backer and play te side. Just need a pass rushing de or backer type player on the weak side. Brian cushing played this a lot at usc, which made him a stand up de or olb.

Think of it as a 5-2 defense
The 4-3 Under is very unique, as it utilizes a nose tackle and two big defensive ends, just like in a 3-4 defense, then they add one defensive tackle, called the “under” tackle, and line up one of the big outside linebackers on the line as well, putting 5 guys on the front line, with two linebackers behind them. The way you pull this off, is you shade the nose tackle to the strong side (side the tight end is line up on) in the gap between center and strong side guard. You then line up a defensive end on the outside shoulder of the strong side offensive tackle, in the gape between that tackle and the tight end. You than line up your outside linebacker on the outside shoulder of that tight end, which basically gives you three defenders on the defensive line on the strong side of the opponents offensive formation. That leaves just a guard and tackle on the weak side of the offense to be accounted for. The under tackle will line up to the OUTSIDE shoulder of the offensive guard on the weak side, making the center has to double team the nose tackle, leaving that weak-side guard one on one with the “under” defensive tackle, which is where Dorsey projects. You then line up your second defensive end on the outside shoulder of that weak-side offensive tackle, going one on one as well. I won’t get in to the rest of the defensive alignment for this scheme for now, as we all need to grasp what the front line will look like, particularly since we drafted our potential starting defensive ends this weekend (Jackson and Magee), have our Nose tackle in place (Tank), and our stud “under” defensive tackle (Dorsey) in place, as well as some pretty good linebackers to boot. Does this help clear it up at all?

The problem last year
Was Dorsey being double teamed a lot. I think Dorsey will do well as long as he can get a one-on-one matchup.
by SupremeChief on Apr 27, 2009 8:02 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I want to preface this by saying that I have been squarely in the Dorsey
doesn’t fit in the 3-4 camp. But, I think that if anyone could make an adjustment and learn a new system, or exceed his physical stature, why not Dorsey? One of the best players to come out of last year’s draft. His biggest problem playing on the outside would seem to be that he might get swallowed up by a longer armed tackle. So it would seem that he could only play on the inside or the under tackle position? But if they feel he can be an outside run stuffer, then perhaps LDE would work for him. I am going to be optimistic until we get into camp and the preseason. If he can’t be effective, or disruptive, against our group of tackles, then he is in trouble finding a position on this team. I am hoping for the best, and I think worse case, he plays D line in obvious passing downs to try to get upfield. Is there such a thing as a “Nickle Nose Tackle”?

If dorsey is the tech dt he would be weak side covering the b or c gap between takle and guard or outside of tackle with a rush de or backer taking the lt block. he could go one on one with the guard. Jackson would be on the other side (5 tech)…either going outside the other tackle or hitting the b gap between guard and tackle

Can we all just admit...
that none of us know enough to criticize right now. We have seen some schematics where most of the personnel makes sense. Let’s let them line up in camp. Surely some reports will come out with more specific information on how people are being used.
Until then, let’s get some books on defenses and do a little reading…

Here is how I see our future Defense...
When we line up in the 4-3 it might look like this…
Tyson Jackson | Glen Dorsey | Tank Tylor | Alex Magee
Mike Vrable | Zach Thomas | Derick Johnson
Brandon Carr | Bernard Pollard | Jarrad Page | Brandon Flowers
When we line up in the 3-4 it might look like this…
Tyson Jackson | Tank Tylor | Glen Dorsey
Tamba Hali | Mike Vrable | Zach Thomas | Derick Johnson
Brandon Carr | Bernard Pollard | Jarrad Page | Brandon Flowers
I could easily see other players being plugged into different spots, and movement on the line to create mis-matches in coverage. The opposition will have NO CLUE who will be rushing, or who will be droping back into coverage and instead of haveing 2 DE that pile up a TON of sacks you will see sacks spread accross all our front seven.
In my heart of hearts I belive that in 3 years time the Chiefs will have a defense that finishes in the NFL top 10 year after year, after year and Arrowhead will be the place that even the BEST teams will FEAR playing in.

Because we didn't have a MLB on the field that could play run and pass
So we moved Dorsey to be a run eater to try to had how shitty our MLB’s are, and free them up some from playing run to give them an extra step in pass coverage (which was still 2 steps short of what they needed to actually succeed)

In the 4-3 under....
take kcchiefs 3-4 look and throw tamba outside the tackle if the tight end is on jacksons side. Tamba would be standing up behind the line(close to it) but in front of backers. Tamba off the edge would warrant attention from left tackle and nose tackle should take on two gaps. This would leave Dorsey with one on ones against the guard. Money

You know what I don't understand
Everyone keeps forgetting that we picked up some extra LBs as well as Darrell Robertson, a predator position player. I know the young LBs aren’t going to do much, but Robertson was a stud coming out of Georgia Tech. His only knock was that he got injured and it really hurt his stock. He was on the Patriots practice squad last year, and Pioli brought him over when he got here. The guy has potential, and with Pioli’s philosophy of competition come training camp, he has a chance to shine. I’m hoping he steps up and becomes that guy because he is a good kid who wants to play hard.

From the oft-linked Carrol analysis
Before we go any further, let’s talk about personnel. You want to get your best players on the field. The open side Defensive End has to be one of your best football players. Size does not matter as much. We want an athletic player who can move around.
Johnston? McBride? This is the player for which I think we are still searching
At Nose Tackle you have to find a player who likes to mix it up. We want a big guy in there who likes to get down and dirty. He is going to get doubled a lot on the run and pass and is going to get down blocked a lot. He has to be a tough player. This guy can be a short and stubby type of player.
Tank Tyler fits this well
The other defensive tackle the 3 technique player should be your premier interior pass rusher. He is going to get a lot of one on one blocks as it is hard to double team him because of where he lines up.
Uh, duh…Dorsey should thrive here…especially playing next to the guy below
The defensive end to the tight end side needs to be a defensive player that can play the run. He does not have to be a big time pass rusher. He has to play the C gap and stop the run.
Tyson Jackson anyone? This reads exactly like a scouting report on the guy =)
Also
The Will linebacker can be a smaller player. He is generally protected in the defensive schemes and will not see as many blocks. All you want him to do most plays is flow and chase the football. We want our fastest linebacker at this position.This is where DJ excels…when he can chase the football.
Thomas and Vrabel will be solid players at Mike and Sam respectively, at least for one year…I think next draft we’ll look for a RDE, SLB, and MLB.
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.

In my original post
I had crossed my fingers for an Everette Brown type of pass rusher to play that open sided DE. Tamba didn’t impress me taking on LT’s last year, so here’s hoping we find someone to consistently crush the pocket before the season starts.
