After reading the post about the Chiefs depth chart, I got to thinking, we're 1-6, unless we can run the table, which isn't likely, to make these games at least entertaining for us fans, we need to be seeing some of the young players that will be playing next year.
So, even if LJ stays on the roster, the older veterans, like him, Goff, Waters, Vrabel (probably our best non special teams player this year), Mike Brown, McGraw, etc., should take a back seat and fill more of a mentor role. Now, I still want to see Vrabel, Waters, McGraw, etc. on the field, but the young guys need more playing time, now.
I went through the depth chart, and with an eye on developing for next year, made some changes. I utilized the practice squad heavily, even bringing in A.Q. Shipley from Pittsburgh's practice squad. Thanks for the idea Tomahawk44 http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2009/10/27/1103472/steal-shipley-from-the-steelers.
I didn't really address Tight End and Quarterback, because I don't know what Haley/Pioli's thoughts are in the direction they would eventually like to go in either position. I assume Cassel is here to stay, and hope we see last year's Matt Cassel soon! Anyway, what are your thoughts?
