The Kansas City Chiefs released earlier today the unofficial depth chart for this weekend's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

(Edit: Funny story, actually. For a short time this morning, the Chiefs accidentally put out the press release from a Chiefs/Seahawks game in 2005. It was quickly replaced but looking at the offensive line depth chart - Roaf, Waters, Wiegmann and Shields - wasn't such a bad thing.)

No changes were made but there will be two, however, by the next depth chart. The arrival of Andy Alleman and Ikechuku Ndukwe mean they'll be added somewhere on the list below.

RG: Mike Goff, Tavares Washington, Colin Brown
C: Rudy Niswanger, Eric Ghiaciuc
LG: Brian Waters, Wade Smith, Daryl Harris

I'm thinking Washington and Brown can fairly easily be jumped. Washington has spent a significant portion of camp in 'No Man's Land' while Brown is just a rookie.

I'll need to wait for a few camp reports before I can decide how the center position might be affected.

Waters, of course, is sticking with the one's but like Washington, Smith has spent some time injured so I can't imagine his spot is secure.

I've got a few more notes on the depth chart after the jump.

Dwayne Bowe on the third team - He's still listed with the third team even though he's clearly been the best receiver on the field in both games. I wouldn't read anything into this - definitely a motivational tool at this point.

Sean Ryan is still ahead of Brad Cottam - We still have no idea where we stand on tight ends. I'm not sure whether to make anything of this.

Damion McIntosh ahead of Barry Richardson - Richardson played with the first team last week and even started Friday's game against the Vikings. He didn't play great, according to more than a few folks, so McIntosh replaced him at the start of the second quarter.

Alfonso Boone ahead of Tyson Jackson - TJ participated with the first team today. He will (hopefully) see a lot more action in game three.

I assume the "starters" are going to play 3 full quarters VS Seattle?

Has anyone said anything about playing time on saturday?

And so, Craig finds himself leaping from blog to blog, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap, will be the leap home.

yeah, Haley did

3 quarters is about right, i think

"I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009

I believe Haley said something like "into the second half."

In all seriousness

Would a starting O-line consisting of Roaf, Waters, Wiegmann and Shields be better or worse than the rag-tag bunch we have now? I’m talking taking Roaf and Shields off their couch after 3 years.

I'm thinking it went something like this

Some peon in the front office: “Um, coach Haley we really need a depth chart for this weeks game.”

Haley: “F#@k Them”

Front Office Peon: “Um, I could just give them last weeks again.”

Haley: “I don’t care if you crap on a sheet of paper and try and fax it to them, just get the f#@k out of my office I have real work to do!”

Ten sacks in a season! For crying out loud that's what I used to average per game using DT in Tecmo Bowl!

I had the same thought.

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

Hey I was listening to 610

this morning, and Nick Wright named AP as the source for the breaking news on the trade, how cool is that!!! I think Niswanger, and Sac get leap frogged. Sac we know what we have there, and Niswanger has looked less than impressive. I heard on one of the sports talk stations that Ndukwe has been working exclusively at RT this season, has this trade been talked about for awhile?

Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
