Lots of Changes to Kansas City Chiefs Latest Depth Chart

Changes, changes and more changes to the Kansas City Chiefs latest unofficial depth chart. The big changes come on the defensive side of the ball. The two new Chiefs are added on the offensive side of the ball.
No time for small talk. Here are the changes. After the jump I've posted the updated QTable.
Tyson Jackson to the first team, Alfonso Boone to the second team
The rookie slides past veteran Alfonso Boone at left defensive end. Definitely a good thing since he needs all the time he can get. From my vantage point the last few games, this is well deserved as well.
Demorrio Williams to the first team, Derrick Johnson to the third team
Demorrio Williams racked up 10 tackles in Saturday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He looked very good taking over for the injured Derrick Johnson. We're not quite sure what DJ's injury is but he's now been relegated to the third team at inside linebacker.
I'm assuming this is injury related though, it does make me wonder. Last week Todd Haley indicated DJ has to "get it going" a little bit.
Corey Mays to the first team, Zach Thomas to the second team
Zach Thomas has been injured the last several weeks of practice so this is no surprise. What's interesting though is that you can definitely make a case that Corey Mays won this job and didn't just have it handed to him because of Thomas' injury.
He's had a great camp.
Jon McGraw to the first team, Jarrad Page to the second team
Jarrad Page was reportedly injured in the Seahawks game so I don't think this one will stick barring the severity of that injury. That's just my guess.
Page has been one of the bright spots. There were some early (false) rumors that he was the first to gain his Arrowhead.
New Chiefs
Ikechuku Ndukwe is listed as the fourth right guard. Andy Alleman is listed as the third center.
In reality, Ndukwe has been seeing time at right tackle. Alleman has been seeing time at right guard.

Why is Bowe still listed as 3rd team?
And if they moved others like Johnson and Page down due to injury then why is Darling still listed as a #1 receiver? Come to that, what the hell is Copper doing as a first team receiver? Did he even play Saturday?
These depth charts are all BS. To be honest, I am sick of preseason. I’d rather we just pracitced, skipped the stupid Rams game and started game planning for Baltimore right now. Enough with this shifting guys around. The season starts in 2 weeks. It is time for some stability.
D-Bowe, Mark Bradley, Bobby Engram and Turtle. Four Chiefs WRers. 4 Pro Bowlers.

I am with you on that. The evaluations should be done by now. They need to let the first teamers be on the first team, practice that way and be done with it.

The guys that are set in their positions are playing very well
Derrick Mays. Mike Vrabel. Tyson Jackson is settling in now and got himself a sack. Flowers.
The question is are they playing well because they are set in their positions or are they set int heir positions because they are playing well? Probably the latter.
I just feel like it is so hard to get any chemistry with the constant revolving door in som positions.
For instance, if Zach Thomas wasn’t injured would we have discovered Corey Mays? If Mays was only getting half the snaps he is getting now would he have developed as quickly? Or would we have tried to pass him off to the practice squad?

I don't understand this chart.
D. Bowe started the last game according to the NFL game book….

Yep
The world of NFL depth charts. This is the depth chart the Chiefs release every Monday during the preseason.

Demarrio Williams did horribly
Constantly in the wrong place – I fucking hate him.

Ha Ha Ha
Yeah Williams was in the “wrong” place 10 times Saturday night…. er at least he was where DJ wouldn’t have been, in position to make the tackles.
Williams out played DJ last season too, while he had a broken hand for about half the season. Third string is about right!

McGraw before Page... the depth chart is meaningless
This has no rhyme or reason. DJ third string – nice! Other than that with Bowe third string and all this crap and fucking Sackintosh starting we are so fucked its not even funny. This fuckbag of an offensive line is going to help us get no more than 5 wins this year. FIVE!

I think Page and DJ are injury related
They both didn’t play so we’ll see.
by Joel Thorman on Aug 31, 2009 8:38 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
If it is injury related
why is Darling still listed as first team. That doesnt make any sense.

They probably had this depth chart done yesterday
Would be my guess. Darling’s ACL hasn’t been confirmed yet.

The Page thing is porbably motivational
But Williams over DJ is simply putting the better player as the starter.

Though, on the bright side ...
If we pull out a surprise 6th win, we’ll have a shot at winning the division.

lol
Yeah at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Pioli and Haley say “yep, this offensive line really is that bad. Gailey, any ideas?” Gailey said “well uh.. last year I kind of changed. Well, let me just say how comfortable are you with Thigpen….” ARROWSPREAD!! lol

QTable
That’ll be the new name for this depth chart table made by TheQ.

Hey, don't look at me.
Page has been one of the bright spots. There were some early (false) rumors that he was the first to gain his Arrowhead.
That was Doug Gottlieb’s SportsCenter dude that reported that one.

Trying to gain meaning from this depth chart
is like me trying to gain some sort of deep meaning from my 4 year old’s finger painting. They both basically throw some stuff down on paper and move it aroung a little. Not worth the time to analyze fellas.
The Good: Hiring Pioli and Haley, Drafting Tyson Jackson
The Bad: The Offensive Line Play
The Ugly: Thigpen Trying to Play QB

D.Johnson

Derrick Johnson has done the
same thing every year since being drafted by the Chiefs. He will play well in one game and totally disappear for the next. His coaches have cut him some slack in the past on this. I don’t think Haley will be inclined to do the same. It DJ can’t play consistently I believe he will be out of a job.

DJ will be fine
him being held out of a PRE SEASON game is a precaution. Page was held out too. Why? I have no idea…probably because its PRE SEASON and they dont want them to risk getting anymore hurt then they are while they aim for the season opener.

He is not a bust
Unless your saying bust for anything less than All Pro and future hall of fame. He is a good linebacker, not great, but he isn’t a bust. Ryan Sims is a bust, Ryan Leaf is a bust, DJ is a solid, all around good linebacker. That does not mean he is a bust.
Cry Havoc! And let slip the Chiefs Defense of War!!!

you should bite your tongue for even saying d.johnson and pro bowl and hall of fame in the same sentence, even if its just in jest.I wish they would cut him and get a real LB that is there every down and is a ball hawk, D johnson is a mediocre LB at the very very best and thats being generous.

I think if the ENTIRE defense grew out the dreadlocks.. we'd go 16-0
Apparently that’s what makes a good football player.

Herm would not allow long hair. (dumb ass)
Duh………….if it means we win, I say bring on the dreadlocks.

IMO
Pollard should be on the 3rd team. He has been atrocious. At least 3 missed arm tackles I counted on Saturday, has he ever broken up a pass?
What good is a saftey who cant tackle and who cant play any form of coverage?
And dont get me started on his performance of the Buffalo game from last year. He actually dodged Trent Edwards as they were across from one another when Edwards dove into the end zone.
This dude sucks, Page should be #1 at his position, with Brown #1 instead of Pollard.
To Pioli-
Dorsey came into camp out of shape, he has sucked so far this preseason-
SHOP HIM AROUND!!!
LOOK FOR A GOOD YOUNG RT FOR DORSEY!!!
DO IT NOW!!!

This means nothing still
I think it is used for motivation by Haley, which is stupid…
