Chiefs to implement some version of 3-4 defense
Quote:
Kent Babb of The Kansas City Star reports with more than three months of comfort and a few more significant pieces added to the Chiefs’ puzzle, Kansas City can now make it official: The Chiefs plan to run some version of the 3-4 defense in 2009.
We’re going to try variations of it,” coach Todd Haley said Thursday. “We’re not going to force square pegs in round holes.”
In the wake of the NFL draft two weeks ago, the Chiefs possess a few more of the round pegs that Haley had hoped for when he was chosen in February as Herm Edwards’ replacement. Haley noticed at the time that the Chiefs’ defense clearly had been built in past seasons with the 4-3 in mind. Haley said Thursday that he envisioned transitioning the Chiefs to a 3-4 team, but there was work to be done — and the team has only begun to mark things off its to-do list — before Kansas City could so much as say it might be shifting to the NFL’s most fashionable defensive scheme.
