Kansas City Chiefs Sign Two, Release Three

There's been a lot of movement in the last hour so scan the front page to get caught up but here we go...
The Kansas City Chiefs officially announced the arrival of former Arizona Cardinals tight end Leonard Pope. They also announced that the team has added T Chris Patrick to the practice squad.
Here is our story on the Pope signing.
Patrick was signed by the Giants as an undrafted free agent in 2007. He's had stints with the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs also announced that the club has released LB Monty Beisel and CB Ricardo Colclough.
Beisel is a bit of a surprise considering the team brought him on this offseason. He was behind Demorrio Williams and Derrick Johnson on the depth chart.
The Chiefs have tried Ricardo Colclough out as a punt returner at times but he hasn't seen much game action in that capacity. The team has worked out multiple defensive backs in recent weeks so the writing may have been on the wall for Colclough.
We're not done yet: The team also announced that Tom Crabtree has been released from the practice squad.
Make the jump to walk through all of today's roster moves with me and see how many roster spots we have open.
Subtractions
- Tyler Thigpen
- Monty Beisel
- Ricardo Colclough
- Tom Crabtree (PS)
Additions
- Leonard Pope
- Chris Patrick (PS)
By my count that leaves two spots open on the 53 man roster. Folks, we've still got some moves to be made!

WOOHOO
the only guy out on the market that I thought could help the team was pope…we shall see. I will try not to get my hopes too high as I have been known too in the past.
To bad about Beisel :(

Beisel
his special teams error last week couldn’t have helped his stock.
and, if he was part of all of the missed coverage by ILB on defense… well… there’s your reasons
* "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

Sorry didn't get to watch the whole game...
can you fill me in on what he did?
by worc on Sep 29, 2009 7:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Colquitt had a beautiful punt that hit about the 8 and bounced, and bounced, and bounced.
And while this was happening, Beisel was standing about 1-2 feet from the ball (He could have just stuck out his arm and grabbed the ball) and just let the ball roll into the endzone. Like it litterally he just watched the ball bounce and bounce and bounce andTweeeet…touchback. It was pathetic.

Stupid but. . .
This was a horrible play as there were 3 Chiefs that could have grabbed the ball before it rolled in. However the thing with Beisel is that he couldn’t grab the ball because he didn’t pay attention to how far he had run and he himself went into the endzone. Once a player does that they can’t touch the ball that’s why he could only watch. Yes stupid for not knowing where he was at on the field but even more so for the other guys who got greedy and tried to let it bounce the extra 2 yards.

Players do make mistakes
He’s amazing at ST 99% of the time (kind of like McGraw), but he really effed up once. It’s not like this is the norm. Anyways, we already have our ST guru, so who needs another one? Granted, our LB core could use any help it can get…

Beisel's error made me
Puke. Seriously, I was yelling at the TV for the rest of the game. That’s inexcusable. You can’t be a pro and do that.
I’m glad thigg is gone. Seriously, time to get some real expectations.

POPE IS TERRIBLE
He is the most athletically gifted TERRIBLE player on the Cardinals. He had one promising season, and otherwise he is utterly atrocious. He’s a terrible blocker with terrible hands. TERRIBLLLEEEEEEE

I wonder how much that terrible play on special teams
That Beisel made in Oakland has to do with this? I know it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

My count is correct, right?
From the 53 man roster we lost: Thigpen, Beisel and Colclough.
From the 53 man roster we added: Pope
Two practice squad moves cancel each other out.

With a 3-4 scheme and the need for backers...
This makes us a little short in depth doesnt it? I think Beisel becomes expendable because of Belcher but we still need numbers at LB.

by Bashman on Sep 29, 2009 6:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Belcher has come in and done what they expected from Beisel.
He’s a fiend on ST and he’s solid and around the ball as depth at LB. This way he moves up the depth chart and has a better chance to develop.

LB
they had 10, which is probably 1 too many, based on expectations…
so they may or may not be short a LB now… but I’d guess they are addressing other positions

So here comes lineman and move long up from practice
by Turkeyleg on Sep 29, 2009 6:00 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I think Long eats up one spot.
But you dont make extra spots open unless you plan to fill them.

I think him signing is a given
So if we add long to the roster and lets say we sign Tauscher (sp?) then that gives us 53. We arent expected to keep 4 te so maybe Miller (who worked out last week) takes Oconnels spot, and Oconnel goes to ps to take longs spot?

Maybe he could shuffle
Away from the opposing team. We could call him Dr. Zoidberg if he does that! Hell I’m going to call him Dr. Zoidberg anyways…

LAST YEAR
they didn’t open the season with road games at Baltimore & Philly, and with a home game against the Giants.
by jmcgoblue on Sep 29, 2009 6:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
I think this year’s schedule is much stranger than last, considering the strength of our opponent. I don’t expect wins in some cases, but I do expect competition. As long as the team improves and builds on this early part of the season, we have a chance in the latter.
by TXChiefan on Sep 29, 2009 7:43 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lets see if we can make this simple
Thiggy = Pope
Colcoloughologh = someone (possibly miller)
Beisel = Lineman (possibly Tauscher)
Anybody have a problem with that? Seems like a decent upgrade to me.

Linemen
Screw bringing up Long. Let’s go after two offensive linemen. Say Runyan and Tauscher. Stopgaps? Maybe, but we need serious help along the line and another WR will do nothing for that. And since Pope can’t block, that doesn’t help either. However, he’s definitely an upgrade so no beef with that pickup.

1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs

There wasn’t a “market” for him. The articles stated that Miami was looking for a guy who’s taken NFL snaps, a guy with experience. They were also looking for someone who might bring different things to the table than pocket Henne. This was wonderful timing!

im getting the sense that the Chiefs dont want to set the record for most transactions in a year. I think that if they were thinkng of going big like boldin they would have done it earlier
by Bashman on Sep 29, 2009 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
seriously doubt it'll be Boldin
maybe Roscoe Parrish?

Didn't we recently work out a CB?
We’re probably gonna need another one with Colclough gone.

Don't get too excited yet
We could just promote Long and Richardson from the practice squad. Although I’m not sure why they wouldn’t of announced that right away.

exactly
I think they have every intention of bring in Tauscher… and they may have had this as part of the master plan all along.
even if you’re right, and it’s Long/B-Rich…. there are still 2 signings to be announced… they would just be PS scrubs :)

by jrcnc on Sep 29, 2009 7:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah...
If he survives the Giants game, they won’t face a really scary defense again until Pittsburgh.
The line held up OK vs Oakland… it’s just the “great” defenses that give them fits.

Rotoworld had an interesting take on Tauscher
Green Bay has had big line problems thus far and if they haven’t brought him back it may mean that he just physically is not ready to go.
The Good: Moved the ball some, stopped the run
The Bad: penalties and not getting a FG before halftime

I thought maybe cap
yet Green Bay has more cap available than Chiefs
We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09
And Succop will be the Key in two of them.

I've searched everywhere I could...
And see no evidence that GB even worked him out and a guy returning to his team even for a workout wouldve caught a headline somewhere. Without a workout I would have a hard time believing that GB has a reason to not bring him back because of his health.

Pope
I like the signing of Pope although all I really know about him is stats. The guy is a pretty big TE. How is he as a blocker? With his size it seems like that should be a strong suit for him. If that is the case seems like he could help us in a couple places of need.
by DTforHOF on Sep 29, 2009 7:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I wonder if they would bring Taucher in since O'Callaghan is the only RT we have...(besides Ndukwe)
Hmm…Albert, Waters, Niswanger, Goff/Ndukwe, Taucher/O’Callaghan
Doesn’t look THAT bad…but C and RG still need help. Goff can manage.

I'm hoping to see Allman at Center

I'd like to see what he can do
IF he ends up starting at C, and Ndukwe at RG… that’s a heckova trade for KC!
Even if they both end up being 2nd string, it’s a good deal for one low draft pick

I still think Goff can do better than Ndukwe
but Alleman is probably a better Center than Niswanger.
by Wrestler189s on Sep 29, 2009 7:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The stats of RG would suggest otherwise.
Ndukwe ranked out as the 5th or 6th best RG last season.

yeah, it'll be interesting to see
ACL should have been healed by March at the latest… that’s 14 months…
then, plenty of rehab and workout time.
You know Haley isn’t bringing in someone who’s not in shape
I bet they called him months ago, and told him to get in shape and ready.
Today was his chance to prove he was ready to go

After that horrible game these moves are a nice pick-me-up. It’s just nice to see our coach and gm are making moves. It means they admit that we have problems and THAT is the first step to recovery!

If EVER a player earned his cut, it was Monte Beisel. He was absolutely a walking TD given up whenever he was on the field on regular D. And he’s been horrid on specials also, supposedly the one thing he could do well. Good riddance.
