If you were Todd Haley what's the plan for the rest of the year?

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?

Our focus should be winning

Winning is all that matters.

I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands. -Arrested Development

When we blitz, have the LB's do a KC Strip. Do this in rememberance of DT.

we have some young hungry backs that been wanting to knock Larry off.

Won't happen

As Haley as said, he will put the guys on the field that give us the best chance to win. Although the depth chart you have compiled would definitely motivate the underperformers, I don’t think it will ever happen.

With that being said, I think at least 1/3 of the current roster will be gone by the start of next season, maybe more. At 1-6, everyone is expendable.

I agree some of the OL should definitely be switched for the younger guys, b/c w/ the current line-up we’re in the bottom of the league in most Offensive stats anyway might as well see what we have so we can make better decisions come the offseason.

LT – Richardson
LG – Albert
C – AQ Shipley
RG – Andy Alleman
RT – O’Callaghan

w/ RBs- Kolby Smith 1st and 2nd down back, Charles as 3rd down back, Williams as a GL back

When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.

I'd be fine with 9-7 or 10-6 and competiting for the divsion title

to Richardson at LT. If we are going to make changes it should be the C and RG positions alone.

by I_Bleed_Red. on Oct 28, 2009 4:49 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, so lets bench guys like Vrabel and Hali

who have been busting their tails out these and start guys like Walters and Herron. Man am I glad you aren’t in charge of making the decisions.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.

by KCporkchop on Oct 28, 2009 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not saying leave them on the bench

Let the young guys rotate in. Just because I listed a “starter” doesn’t mean the “backup” shouldn’t play. Vrabel and Hali should still get over half the snaps. What if Vrabel or Hali gets hurt next year, wouldn’t you like their backup to have some experience.

That would still be a slap in the face to players who don't deserve it

maybe give the young guys some plays off the bench if you think they are playing well enough to deserve it, but no way start them over guys who are playing well just because they are younger.

by KCporkchop on Oct 28, 2009 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll go with that

My main point is that Lance Long and some of the younger guys need a shot to show what they can do, and not against the other teams 2nd team in mop up time. I certainly don’t want to insult good players like Hali and Vrabel!

I don't see promoting Long as a step backwards, at all.

He brings more spark than anybody else currently playing WR. He hasn’t made a name for himself, yet, but I really think he belongs on the field.

As for Hali, I’m thinking of #58, and how much fun Hali might have as a free-wheeling OLB behind a 4-man front. Slide Dorsey and Edwards a little bit to the left, stick Gilberry or Studebaker at RDE, and just tell Hali to attack wherever he wants.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 10:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

your point is valid Pork but..

we are 1-6..even the Titans get it. Their going to start Young. Because…WHY NOT?? See what he’s got for next season. Let’s try other talent and see where their at.

We aren’t going to win the superbowl either way. Our season has been done for weeks now. So WHY NOT??? Bring up some of the young guys and let them play under veteran tootilage. Let Vrable and Hali work with these youngsters. Magee needs reps too. Washington etc. At this point we have nothing to lose anyway.

by krayfish on Oct 29, 2009 7:49 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

We should be playing to win

It would be interesting to see the young guys given a shot, but most of them won’t be on the team next year anyways. The only positions where I would be making the switch to a different player would be C and RG. I don’t think either Niswanger or Goff are hear next year and playing Smith and Alleman in their positions would be interesting to see, and could potentially make a difference in our line play.

by Clarry on Oct 28, 2009 12:30 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

C & RG are no brainers, OL is beat up and will probably be patchwork the rest of the year.

But maybe we would have a better shot at winning with :

Lance Long instead of Bobby Wade
Javarris Williams instead of LJ
Belcher, Herron or DJ instead of DeMorrio
DuJuan Morgan over Mike Brown

And winning next year by
bringing in AQ Shipley

Maybe McGraw and Page should be the safeties?

"The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer."
--John Madden

by cpa913 on Oct 28, 2009 12:39 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

McGraw is playing with more and more presence all the time.

But you could see from San Diego’s first incompletion that Vincent Jackson had taken his ‘n’ Flowers measure and found ‘em lacking. But McGraw could really facilitate almost as well as Brown, and he’s a little bit quicker (to my eye) than Brown. But having either of Brown or McGraw on the field screams “Liability in covereage!” to opposing offenses, because of lack of speed and quickness. In tight, near the line, they’re both clearly more mobile and explosive than any of KC’s LBs (duh). Brown’s better at opening a lane for a LB than any other DB on the roster, and plenty quick to finish plays in the O-backfield. As a spy on the RB, either one can get it done, as long as they’re making contact at or behind the LOS. Once you get in space, most good RBs can beat ’em one-on-one with quickness in the pattern.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 10:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Basically, I'm saying that Morgan is KC's only hope of having the necessary athleticism at the position,

and Morgan, so far, just doesn’t seem like he’s all that great of a football player.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 10:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely agree.

I think Herm drafted Morgan to try to convert him into that physical two-way player. It hasn’t happened thus far.

Now Eric Berry…that’s an argument for next offseason. I’d like to see McGraw/Page to see what could become. I understand they both play a similar way, but the hope for a defensive adjustment (please, Clancy) makes me want them both to share the field.

2-way?

You mean D and ST? O and D? I kinda think that Morgan is another Peterson-type pick, trying for the overlooked safety with measurables, who can maybe play corner like it should be played. Or at least that was how I rationalized Bartee and Wesley picks.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

I can't get behind this idea

You don’t just scrap your whole plan just because you’re 1-6, and haven’t played well in some of the games.

(and before you say they’ve looked like crap in every game… they played good enough to win vs Oakland, Dallas, Washington, and at times vs Baltimore)

It’d be a total knee-jerk reaction, and a big mistake to start benching all of your veterans at this point in the season.

Remember, EVEN IF this season is more about player evaluation and development than it is about wins… you STILL have to evaluate and develop your veterans, to see how they fit into the long term plan for the team.

I still think Haley will, and SHOULD continue to work on improving the team, and putting the best foot forward trying to win games in 2009.

They aren’t “there” yet… but you can’t just cash in your chips in the middle of a tournament

Didn’t we scrap the whole plan two weeks before the season? Chan Gailey might think we did. I don’t really care how we have played, it’s time to look to the future.

that’s all that matters… they were in a position to win those games.
they only got the job done in one of them, of course

but, I dont’ think you can generalize and say the Chiefs have been “terrible” all season…
or at least not so terrible that they need to scrap their starters and go with rookies

I agree

non of us want to start all over again w/ the"rebuild" process but this being the bye week some changes on the OL can be made and given about 2 wk (which I know isnt much time) together to see if we have something here before we go out and blow things up again.

Good ideas cpa,

I really like Studebaker getting more time while he learns from Vrabel. I think Hali is part of this teams future and present….I say he stays with as much playing time as possible.
I would like to see more variables at our front 3 on defense. Dorsey Edwards and Jackson dont seem to be doing much. Maybe try putting Gales and Favorite from the PS to give us some better looks. Right now I know Gales would be doing better than Jackson, but that is besides the point.

I would also really like to see Javarris Williams get some reps in games. If only 3 or 4 carries a game….maybe he could learn it this year and take over full time next year.

"I know Gales would be doing better than Jackson"

Come on man, Gales is almost 40 lbs. lighter and an undrafted rookie, but you KNOW that he’d hold his ground or get more push then Jackson? I would argue that Gales would be a better fit at the rush OLB spot.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.

Gales is too big for OLB....

He is a lot bigger than his listed weight. He is every bit of 275-280.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 10:53 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’m with you on Studebaker seeing more time and I wouldn’t be opposed to Favorite and maybe Williams coming up from the PS.

I disagree on the line though. I think Dorsey’s playing pretty well, Edwards is doing ok and Jackson is probably about where I’d expect him to be in his rookie year. He’s not really standing out, positively or negatively to me.

Would I like to see a few more noticeable good plays from him? Of course, but he has made a couple plays. I can think of at least one tipped pass. He also hasn’t made any plays that make me think “What the heck Tyson?”

by bh13 on Oct 28, 2009 6:40 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's doing a good job of gobbling up space.

Teams sure don’t run right AT him. But he’s let himself get walled off from quite a few runs to his INside shoulder, which I would think would be more of a priority for him than trying to turn the corner outside. But he’s clearly big and strong and athletic enough to play great 2-gap for years to come. After a season, I think he’ll really be able to assert himself. December will probably tell us what we have in him.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 11:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Jackson, I mean.

As for Studebaker, I definitely want to see him getting more minutes, and maybe trading sides with Hali, on occasion.

Jackson

Thus far, he’s ate his blockers well enough. I have done a little re-watching of his games, and while he’s not outstanding at that position yet, he’s showing the signs of picking it up. If the 3-4 year dline progression holds, I think we’ve made the right pick.

We’ll see.

I don't know

Lighting a fire under some of those guys (Vrabel, Tamba, DeMorrio) by putting them behind younger guys may sound okay…until you realize that they’ve been the most consistent performers on that defense. Benching them only hurts us.

If I were Haley? My plan is two words: Suck Less.

Hmmmmmm, playing all young guys, this sounds familiar for some reason.

cpa913 you wouldn’t by chance be a former coach of ours whose name rhymes with Germ?

You don’t bench our 2nd year first round pick LT for Barry Richardson.
You don’t jump J. Williams (who just looked ok in pre season) from the PS all the way to starter over Charles who has more upside and NFL game experience.
You don’t start a ST guy like Herron at ILB when you are already deep at that position (Williams, DJ, Belcher, Mays)
You don’t bench guys like Vrabel and Hali who are two of the only players on the team who have been busting their hump every single play no matter what the score is (aka showing guys how to not play like losers).

You want to talk about benching guys that are stinking up the joint like Rudy and Goff, great, but you don’t bench guys who are actually doing their job just to hope you win the lottery by finding a pro bowler on your PS.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.

… but see, Herm would never do some of that cuz the guy might have been a bad HC (and horrible on gameday sideline decisions like clock management) but he knew his stuff on personnel, esp defense … he also knew enough about his (lack of) expertise on offense to hire Chan Gailey and let his OC run it

sadly, we can’t say as much for the current HC (although we can knock some the playcalling by the OC, and some of those gameday sideline decisions like clock management)

Albert was listed 2nd because he is injured.

J Williams is more an LJ style back. Charles should get the bulk of the passing downs.

Names at LB were to make you think who could be rotated in.

Yes Rudy and Goff should be benched, but the other players I’m saying rotate them in. Get them some experience

Any backup Patriot making an impact yet?

I say look the way we did in 2009 – let’s see if NE produces another lesser known player while their starter in out or injured.

Pioli loves that route. Let’s go find the next 1 year wonder – be it safety, linemen, wr or k.

Oh…and gotta be certain that player has a franchise tag on him. That way we can re-negotiate a long term deal and pay him a fat ass bonus.

Larry Johnson will be a top 3 fantasy pick once again in 2010 (after a monster season in 2009.)
Dwayne Bowe will be a 2009 Pro Bowl selection.
Brandon Flowers will have at least 6 INTs in 2009 season.
Todd Haley will have a sideline shouting match caught on TV yelling at one of his asst. coaches.
