Roth fell out of favor with the coaching staff after suffering a groin injury and illness, falling deep into coach Tony Sparano and football czar Bill Parcells' doghouse. There had been rumors about him being dissatisfied with his contract. Highly regarded out of Iowa, Roth is expected to draw action on waivers.

ha, thanks man :)
* "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
* Stats are for losers
The link is taking me back to arrowheadpride's main page.
Consistency is only a value if you are not a screw up.
Sorry - who is Matt Roth?
No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

Looked him up on NFL.com.

this is matt roth
it gets really good around 4:30/5 minutes, and the best play is around the 7 minute mark.

I literally just came back to the site to post that he had been released and I thought maybe we have a use
I mean…can he be worse than herron? not that herron is bad but the guy never plays…altho roth would be OLB? rushing? meh, with our luck picking up cards/pats/anyone who knows pioli/haley…maybe we outta go back to the ndukwe/alleman tree and take another dolphin.
Who the hell is herron :)
I say go for it and snag him up :)

yeah, why not?
keep churning the bottom half of the roster…
Herron has a couple of special teams tackles, but that’s about it.
Rogers hasn’t even been active yet, has he?
This guy does have some potential

What teams that run the 3-4
aside from Cleveland, is ahead of us on the waiver wire?

No one besides Cleveland
but that doesn’t mean he won’t be claimed. Good pass rushers are hard to come by and he’s young.
His college coach was Kirki Ferentz who has ties to the Belichick tree (Pioli, Mangini, Schwartz)
A stronger tie
is Nick Saban who was the coach of Miami (who drafted him) and former coach of LSU who is known to have not only deep ties to Pioli by Belichick also. If I remember correctly Saban ran the 4-3 in Miami so he may be looked as at as a LDE in a 4-3 scheme, like he played in Miami pre-Parcells

Well According to NFL.com
We are 25th in the league by record.
See ya Later Larry Johnson, or now forever known as "2.7"
via Wikipedia
“Roth was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the second round (46th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. The team selected him with a draft pick obtained in the trade that sent cornerback Patrick Surtain to the Kansas City Chiefs.”
Matt Roth was a Stud at Iowa
He is 6-4 275 and had 53 takles with 5 sacks last year as a full time starter. He would be a great addition to our team. Why not take him if you can get him?
Though there might be some back room warning from Parcels?
Might as well claim him.
He’s probably about the same as Hali, they’d be good in a rotation together. Keep ’em fresh.
I would like it...But I don't know if it will happen...
Don't forget to be an AP-vangelist...Tell A Friend...
Y'all realize
Roth has played on the left end his entire professional career, whether it be LDE or LOLB meaning its likely he’d be competing with either Vrabel or Studebaker for playing time. It’s not to say he couldn’t be moved to ROLB, but either way it’s not likely he’d be starting in KC. As for depth he’d be a vast upgrade as to what we got. Said it once, I’ll say it again – ink his ass up.

great point.
that kind of puts his college numbers in perspective, huh? the qb saw him coming and still he racked up 30 collegiate sacks.
also worthy of note in lieu of recent posts on here, matt won the illinois state wrestling championship his senior year in high school with a record of 31-0 (wikipedia).

I do realize that...
Vrabel played inside some in NE…I would like him to try some of that here…Roth and Stud can rotate…

What part of being in Parcell's doghouse did you guys not read?
There’s no way we take someone that doesn’t have the Tuna’s seal of approval.
(Raiders game 1 should be listed here, 409 yds off, we let them off the hook)
(Cowboy's should be listed here - They are who we thought they were)
Skins
Raidaaas (game 2)
***Super Bowl Champion Steelers!***
Next victim: Bolts - Thanks for Chambers by the way, Cassel to Chambers = Touchdown KANSAS CITY!
read Babb's tweets
he said that he wouldnt’ be surprised at all if the Chiefs put a claim in
* "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
* Stats are for losers
I stand corrected then
Must not have been too much in the doghouse :)
