A Twist to the Story on Chiefs S Jarrad Page?

by Joel Thorman on Nov 2, 2009 5:05 PM CST in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Interesting stuff coming from Josh Looney over at KCChiefs.com on the situation with Kansas City Chiefs S Jarrad Page. The third year safety has been inactive twice this season. He was on the injury report a couple weeks ago for a shoulder as well.

Haley started his press conference talking about injuries in general.

"From now on I’m not going to talk a lot about injuries, if at all," head coach Todd Haley told reporters this afternoon. "Unless something major comes up, I’m going to stay away from that."

And then, as Looney points out, Haley has this to say when asked about Page a few minutes later.

"I will talk about Jarrad Page tomorrow," Haley stated. "He suffered another injury on Thursday and I’ll talk about that tomorrow."

OK, what is going on?

Josh brings up the dreaded words abbreviated IR in speculating what could be going on. It's all a guess right now but, it's interesting to note that Haley said he would only talk about "major" injuries....and then says he will talk about Page.

Is it possible Page is done for the year?

It's all a guess right now but the dots can be connected. A trip to IR, would end Page's season.

And free up a roster spot for Kolby Smith.

wow

obviously it’s all speculation at this point…

but that could be a huge story.

good observations, Joel.

Let’s hope you’re wrong!

* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season

"good observations, Josh"

Waiting on Haley’s quotes to come out.

I dont think we would even miss him...

I think it is time to see what we got in DuJuan Morgan. No sense in him being on the roster next year if we dont take a look at what he can do. This is the perfect time. I think he is our best S in coverage for sure.

OHANA!

Morgan is a Strong Safety

Page is a Free Safety

I don’t think Page’s status will affect Morgan’s playing time.

It just means you’ll see a lot more of McGraw… and they will probably bring in another FS for depth

Anyone remember whether Price is a FS or SS?

Answered my own question with a visit to the Chiefs site.

2007: Started all 13 games at free safety

yep... he's back for a reason, I'm sure

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 8:20 PM CST up reply actions

Yikes...

not a great way to go on transaction Tuesday but it makes sense….

Luckily, McGraw hasnt particularly played any worse than Page…

haha its all good woody

Im really nervous about the safety postion now to be honest with you but hey maybe Price will get some playing time and end up being a diamond in the rough :)

Now we can still keep 4 TE's on the roster

AWESOME

Erykah Badu, I have accepted your proposal. So, Mrs. DTR, let's get to consummating...you are on notice.

I wouldn't have any problem with 4 TEs ...

if they each contributed SOMETHING… ANYTHING

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 5:18 PM CST up reply actions

If 3 of them were Jason Dunn's and 1 was an average receiving TE

I would be happy. :)

The FA list thas was posted this weekend

Had Tony Curtis as a decent blocking TE. Hmm

We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09
And Succop will be the Key in two of them.

Again? He’s been here, and about 5 other places already this season.

pretty sure he was kidding :)

We hope he was kidding

Or else we’ve really come full circle.

the next signings are:

Amani Toomer, Ashley Lelie, Tony Curtis and

Taurus Johnson to the PS

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 5:34 PM CST up reply actions

And a Barry Richardson return to the active roster

What? That already happened?!

by Joel Thorman on Nov 2, 2009 5:35 PM CST up reply actions

if they sign Tony Curtis will they also sign Jamie Lee?

hey, just an idea …

assuming that you were kidding about KC picking him back up...

yeah, I had hopes for him

but, I also had hopes for Cottam and Ryan (at one point)

Pope could still work out… just haven’t seen him too much

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 6:49 PM CST up reply actions

We would still need to cut someone

to make room for Ricky Price. No way they go with three safeties especially with McGraw apparently nicked up.

If this turns out to be true, expect a major turnover on Transaction Tuesday.

Maybe they have to be cleared by NFL doctors to hit IR

Or maybe the team doctors are, you know, truthful in their assessment of the player.

So which safety will we take?
