I just heard that they are moving DJ to MLB. Partly because he hasnt done much at OLB and partly because our MLB havent gotten it done. I hope this works out well for us.

While I agree that it is easier to draft an OLB than an ILB, I don't think that has much to do with this choice. I think it comes down to making Derrick Johnson break out. We all knows he good, doing great things, but we expect more consistancy. He is our best tackler so putting him in the middle should help the run defense. And I don't think it takes away from him stopping the screen and such. I'm willing to give him a chance since this season is pretty much over. Hey, the coaches may have stumbled on something great. If not, he'll be back on the ouside next season.
And 3-4 defense is not bad. With the right coaching (Bill Cowher), the Chiefs could easily convert and become more productive. However, I doubt we will change unless there are coaching changes. With that said, Tamba would still play DE in a 3-4. He's not fast enough to play linebacker. But I wouldn't mind picking up a guy like Terrell Suggs this offseason and moving him back to DE.
I THINK HE'LL DO GREAT THERE...once he gets used to it
