    Default Derrick Johnson moving to MLB

    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.

    Phisically, he strikes me more as a MLB.

    In my opinion, thats a good move. I always thought he should have been there anyway.

    I dont know. I remember when we drafted him everybody was going on bout how fast he was. He should be best at OLB.

    But, we shall see. Lets hope it works.

    I read an article about this. They say the Chiefs will be looking for two starting linebackers in the offseason. I really think they're going to take one in the first round. See my thread about James Laurinaitis. If not him, then a LB that is a pure pass rusher (i.e. DT)

    DJ is switching with Boiman. So I believe it will be Demorrio Williams on the strong side, DJ in the middle, and Boiman on the weak side.

    Might be planning to go to a 3-4 next year and move Tamba to rushing LB... and they are trying to get DJ some experience playing ILB.

    I personally think this is a very stupid move. The guy destoys passes to the flats, to TE, and on screens. They are taking a stenght on this defense and Focking with it. Maybe they are thinking it is easier to find an OLB in the draft than there is a MLB and they are hoping he could become a good MLB.

    It shows that we're desperate for a pass rusher. To gain something, something must be taken away.
