Derrick Johnson was he missused ?

I think he was! Early in the season the pass rushes he was involved in were awsume! He flat ran over most anyone that tried to block him. :hammer: Im betting herm saw that too! That was some crazy stuff watching Derrick take fullbacks out with a full speed running hit. All i have to say is turn that man loose. ;-)

I think they will use DJ to chase the QB a lot more-at least that is what I hope they do.

I hope they get everybody sacking the QBs this year. Like the old days. I.E., Steve Young and Jeff George. :-D

That would definitely be worth the price of admission. :-D

There is nothing better than watching the opposing QB run for his life on practically every play.

Especially in his own end zone.

As much as I dislike Gun, in the use of DJ, he didn't make a mistake.

DJ can, with his speed, rush the passer.

But his strength lies in getting into passing lanes and creating havoc and turnovers in open space.

Because pass D is more complex than simply just rushing the passer, it takes longer for a player like DJ to asimilate info, and use that knowledge to make plays.

He's had a year in the NFL.
His play will be more instinctive and fluid this year.

With the Chiefs apparently converting to a cover 2 as their base D, DJ will excel.

Think Derrick Brooks.

Or go back further, think Jack Lambert.

Also, in a cover 2, LBs don't blitz nearly as often.
It relies on the front four to create pressure.

Bell, in a cover 2, because his coverage skills are virtually non-existent, will be virtually useless as a LB.

If we get anything from him, as highly unlikely as it is, it will be as a rush end.

It will be interesting to see how everything pans out with the defense this year. I sure hope we see more improvement than last year. I certainly expect it... but expecting and getting are two totally different things.
