I thought about this one long and hard. I reviewed all the evidence and despite my initial hatred of these signings, I love them. Let me break down the reasons….
Bobby Engram – Bobby is old. Not just old, but four years older than Tory Holt the best veteran WR on the market. My initial response was WTF is going on?? I listened to Coach Haley’s press conference and thought oh great, he brought in a buddy of his. I reviewed Bobby’s stats from the last couple seasons, he was hurt a nice portion of last year and had a 1000 yard season in 2007. Well maybe he can play… Than I thought about why Bobby and his Depends is still in the league. Bobby runs great routes and has great hands. I listened to Coach Haley’s press conference again and what does he mention? 3rd down catches and it hits me….The Chiefs don’t have anyone to throw to on 3rd down! I watched every game last season at least twice and most of them four or five times. Just for the record, I am not a masochist (I have watched all of the wins at least 15 times). We had one person to throw the ball to on 3rd down and he had 3 defenders on him almost every time. Bowe’s hands are not reliable enough for 3rd down. Now with two targets on 3rd down, I expect the Chiefs to be much better on 3rd down.

Very good point
I agree I liked the signing a lot better once Haley confirmed Engram will be the slot receiver and not the #2 receiver.
I really hope Franklin steps up because I think he would be a great #2. Either that, or I hope Bradley stays healthy.
