Kansas City Chiefs open to moving their outside linebackers around this season

Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, cornerbacks coach Al Harris and outside linebackers coach Mike Smith all spoke to the media following the team’s sixth OTA practice on Thursday, and one thing common theme is beginning to emerge.

The tone the 2018 version of the Chiefs defense is looking to set is one of aggression.

Last week, I wrote about Justin Houston’s seemingly new willingness to switch to the right side despite him playing almost exclusively on the left since his arrival to Kansas City back in 2011.

Houston, one of the best in the game at the outside linebacker position with four Pro Bowls to his name since that draft, said he wants to be able to “attack the opposing offense’s weakest link,” which won’t necessarily always be an opposing team’s right tackle.
