No OL
I guess we must feel pretty confident about our OL.

Yes that's very interesting
Remember, Cassel was sacked more than Chiefs QBs last season.

But but...
Sure, Cassel was sacked more than our QB was sacked. But I also remember Thigpen inside a spread offense, throwing on the run more often than not.
That said, I believe our O-line is turning the corner.

We will likely turn this into a table at some point
And take another peek at it training camp time.

Interesting note
The Broncos signed Britton Colquitt (dustin’s bro) to try out as their punter.

He does kick offs too
I do not snort the coke I only smoke...sensimilla.

My guess
is if we’re going after another OL it will be after cuts are made or in a possible trade down the road. We have plenty of mid to bottom of the roster linemen.

I'm not too worried about the line...
Albert – money
Waters – money
Niswonger – good enough
Goff – good enough for a season or so or until Colin Brown is ready to move inside.
McIntosh blows but Barry Richardson may be ready to step up. If not, stick a blocking TE over there to take some pressure off.

The more I've looked at it
the more I agree. I would’ve liked a OT in the 1st but not at all upset about Jackson.

Taurus Johnson
Didn’t we talk about this guy before the draft? I seem to remember him being a potential slot WR.
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
by PVChiefsfan on Apr 27, 2009 10:57 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yes, he is on our draft interests page
WR coach Dedric Ward worked him out.

Danke

thanks

Pioli is really getting me scared right now I still believe in pioli
but damn he is making me earn it.
And call me crazy but i much rather had him trade away dorsey when he first got here a long with turk, tamba and just revamped the entire D then stroke my balls all this time then only to kick them with the tyson jackson pick. Man when they announced that pick I just collapsed i swear i fell to my knee it was like mike tyson just gave me a blow right to the nuts all my buddies had to pick me up thats how bad i felt when we made that pick oh man i dont even want to think of it.

What happen to the guard from Missouri western?
Didn’t they at least sign him
by Helmets on Apr 27, 2009 4:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
there are several Centers out there...
teams often find centers in UDFA scrap heaps…
by my count, a couple of top 10 centers are still unsigned:
Ryan Schmidt
Dallas Reynolds
there may be others… I hope the Chiefs sign one!
by stagdsp on Apr 27, 2009 4:53 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Sportsline likes one of the Chiefs UDFA...
DE Pierre Walters (Eastern Illinois): Versatile enough to play either end spot or a 3-4 team might try to convert him to a pass-rush linebacker.

Excellent updates
Thank you everyone!
Keep ’em coming…

Phillip Hunt
Does anyone know if Phillip Hunt, DE/OLB, from the Univ. of Houston has signed with a team? He’s similar in size to James Harrison, and a pass rush machine in conf usa…

Where do you all go
to find videos of these players? you tube? That’s the only website that I know of but if you guys/gals have any suggestions to see video on some of these players let me know. Thanks.

rumored interests
Davon Drew was selected in the 5th round by the Ravens, so whatever rumored interest there is, it isn’t as an undrafted college free agent. There are various reports suggesting Daniel Holtzclaw has signed with the Lions. I’ve also seen that the Browns signed Adam Hoppel. Neither the Holtzclaw or Hoppel signings are official (or, at least not that I’ve seen).

Londen Fryar...
Cool name. I think it would be sweet just to grab him and slap him on defense. Can you imagine the commentary if he turned out a diamond in the rough? Ooooh, another ball engulfed by the Londen Fryar. Or, that turkey just got deep-fried by the Londen Fryar…
