Chiefs must keep Savage

In regards to the fan favorite, Dantrell Savage, some people think he's not going to make the team. The truth is, he HAS to make the team, and Herm knows he doesn't have a choice. The Chiefs have 5 talented running backs and want to keep all of them. There was talk about moving Jackie Battle to FB last night, but that would mean cutting it short at tight end or elsewhere.

Here's what it comes down to: Jackie Battle will survive through the waivers and we can keep him on the practice squad. Dantrell Savage would not make it through... he would be taken right away from one of the other teams that called him after the draft. He said of all the teams, he chose the Chiefs because it was the most challenging. There are many other teams keeping their eye on him just in case.

Therefore, Herm has no choice but to keep Savage, and the best way to make room for him on the roster is to keep him as the kick returner ahead of BJ Sams. Regardless of the rookie mistakes, Savage is a bigger spark to the Chiefs return game right now than BJ Sams.

So be happy, everyone, because our boy Savage will definitely be a Chief this year.

Your probably right

Savage is one of those guys that gives you all he has got on every play. After the interception last week when savage made the tackle I think that is representative of the way he is going to play the game. I think he has had some butterflies in the preseason resulting in a bonehead mistake (stepping out of bounds) and last nights dropped kick. Those things will go away once he gets some confidence thru experience. Thru his play he will make others on the team want to reach deeper inside. Guys that bring that kind of motivation to the team are hard to find.
