Ryan O'Callaghan (OT) released by Pariots
Biggest surprise, to me, is O'Callaghan. Thought he played well enough to earn a spot. He'll land on another roster. My guess: Chiefs. -Mike Reiss' Twitter page

Oh please Pioli
Don’t fuck this up….sign this guy
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.

S'ok, we all wear our Arrowhead on our sleeve

If he is on Pioli's radar...
We’re 3rd on the Waiver priority list? So if Detroit and St. Louis pass on him, we can sign him? St. Louis needs alot of help on the O-Line, hope they have their eyes on someone else

This Is A Guy The Chiefs Should Be Targeting
He’ll fit right in at RT. Is he great? No, but he’s adequate and adequate’s a lot better than what we’ve got there now.
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.
4. Larry Johnson has already played his last meaningful game for the Kansas City Chiefs. He's gone before the 2009 season starts.
5. Larry Johnson will gain 0 yards rushing for the 2009 Kansas City Chiefs.
6. The Chiefs will go 7-9 in 2009, good for 2nd in the AFC West. Revision: We go 5-11 and finish behind Oakland.
7. Ryan Succop will not perform better in 2009 than Connor Barth did in 2008.
8. The Chiefs will have a bottom 10 defense this year.
9. RB will be a problem area this season on offense.
Agreed
I don’t know that he’ll make it past StL, though.
"The first step to penetration... must not be lateral"
-Confucius, in contrary to Glenn Dorsey lining up in the 2-tech
Probably Not
Their line is in pretty rough shape too. Although they’ve actually got two decent tackles right now in Barron and Smith so they may target someone else instead.

He's been with them 4 years.
I’m still fuzzy on the scenario. If he’s a vet doesn’t that make him a free agent. Anybody can pick him up?
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...

This is a definate upgrade at RT and almost a guaranteed pickup if he clears Detroit and St. Louis. There has now been at least one Center, Guard, and Tackle that I hope the Chiefs look at in A.Q. Shipley, Billy Yates, and ryan O’Callaghan. I’m not super crazy about Yates but he could be worth a look.

if
Detroit already picked up O’connell, doesn’t that mean they have used theirs and he only has to slide by StL?
I believe they get first dibs at EVERY player

Not like fantasy football with a rotating waiver system, I don’t think. Thankfully for the Chiefs.

* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"

* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
+1 Thats right.
They’ve used their #1 position for picking up players in this 24 hour period. But tomorrow that will reset.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
The Rams now hold top waiver rights until tomorrow when its reset.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Whats up guys?
This no news on player signings is killing me! Can we have Pashos, and O’Callaghan already!?
Now hopefully this team is fun to watch again! Thanks Scott, Clark!!
that'd be ok by me!

The last job was good and it was a great company, it was just a horrible fit for me on all levels and I was miserable there. This one’s a perfect fit. I love getting to work with and train soldiers again…it’s the ideal position. And the pay’s pretty good too. :)

Great!!
I till think Our O-line is sloppy. We need to move branden albert to right tackle or right guard and start focusing on a franchise Left Tackle. I never liked albert at the backside tackle. I was hopin Chiefs would get a lineman soon. We gotta get guys quick or else we will fall on our face
why do
people not like albert at LT? He doesn’t give up sacks, and I would guess he is a better pass blocker than run blocker. Isn’t that like playing to his weaknesses instead of his strengths?
Wouldn’t want to do that this year. Right side of the line pressure, at least cassell can see it coming. If we move albert to the right side, then the sieve is now on the left/blind side. I see bad things happening to cassell if that was to happen.
agreed
Albert is the LT. Period.
He’s stronger in pass blocking, more of a finesse guy, i think.
RT is your roadplow run blocker…
there’s nothing to gain by moving Albert to the RT spot.
IF anything, they could move him back to RG after Waters retires, and draft a new LT.
But, again… it’s not broke, don’t try and fix it.
Just work on solving the RT spot first, then go from there

The Only Time I Thought Albert Should Move
Was when the Chiefs had a shot at a potentially better LT in the draft. Other than that, I don’t see any players out there who are going to do better on the left side than Albert did and I think he’s a fine LT with the potential to be even better.

plus
its wouldn’t have been the first time he moved to his right for monroe…

I think he'll be better then Monroe or any of the guys drafted first round this year.
He was better at this point last year even dealing with an injury then Monroe is at this point.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
I'll bite
I could see moving Albert to guard since he played that position in college, but what makes you think a move to RT would be good for the team?
Sure, right now Scott Pioli would be an upgrade over what we have at RT, that’s not a strong arguement to move the guy doing an acceptable job on the blind-side of the QB. B Richardson is a 2d team LT only on a team as talent deficent as the Chief’s are and he’s an abject failure at RT so far. The guy from Miami we traded for isn’t even projected as a backup on the left side. I’d rather not lose all the QB’s we start the season with to injury, so that’s why I’d keep Albert where he is; as thalove pointed out, at least from the right side, whoever is quarterbacking at the time can see it coming.
Richardson
he’s only a failure at backup LT, IMO.
I’ve watched him on the right side, I think he has a future there
Ndukwe and Alleman are RG/RT and C/RG depth at this point… though Ndukwe could start over Richardson if a new RT isn’t signed

We'll see
Richardson has ability, which is why he was drafted as a project, but either lacks focus, or lacks technique, or both.
I really wonder how much more rope the new management will give him.
considering hes the only option right now, Id hope they have some faith
either that or a deal is in the works…or Pashos is coming to KC
they have a plan
otherwise, McIntosh would still be here.

well
we have a shot at him or pashos from the jags were sitting at 3rd so if hi or pashos gets claimed by the lions or stl we have a shot at the other 1 as u can only claim once
i am a diehard chief fan and have been since 1992 and that wont ever change my current favorite player in the entire nfl is chiefs wr dwayne bowe
chiefs rule!!!
not true
pashos is a 5th yr player, no waivers, just a FA.
and each team has a shot in order at each player, they can sign as many as they want, i believe

yeah..
I’m just sayin that Albert would make a great guard or tackle on the right side. I mean he can play either Guard or tackle. I’ve watched quite of bit of film on him hes footwork is a bit sloppy on pass protection. He just seems like a natural run blocker due to his size. But it all depends on who we get in the next few days cause I KNOW scott pioli will work up a deal with O’Callaghan and maybe even Pashos.
"Dream waiver, I believe you can get me throught the night"
ol- OT O’Callaghan from Pats
og/c recently cut from broncos or C Shipley
OT Pashos
I think Cards cut a recent draft pick too, a guard
Give us 2 of these guys please oh please!
te- Alex Smith. and/or Leonard Pope. Is Putzier worth a shot?
qb-Brohm
safety- not sure who
I would be content with 2 OL that come in a nd play, a pass catching te and Pope, then a developing qb for Haley to experiment with. Feel like a vet safety can come in and plug in Pollard’s absence.
Can I get an Amen?

Reading comprehension must be poor.
I didn’t see in that article the “dibs all day” thing.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Its because it isnt.
Once a team puts in a waiver claim their priority is moved to the end of the line for that 24 hour period. Then everyday the waiver wire resets and the order is re-established. So Detroit grabbed a guy today and now the only team ahead of us until the reset tomorrow is STL.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
What else is going to happen?
Are there still going to be Vets cuts in the next few days? Haven’t heard much. But Zach Thomas may have been cut in order to not pay that guaranteed contract so maybe there are others?
I love you guys. Did I just say that out loud?

Who says
all our new incoming players,whomever they may be are all going to be players cut from other teams,it is possible after all that some trades could be in the works as well.

Is there any comprehensive list of the waver wire?
Like ranked, as well, based on best player available?
Sackoff (McIntosh,Goff) like Brangelina.
dream scenario
sign pashos/shipley/Ben Watson or Alex smith or Leonard Pope/Shaun Smith/Figurs
move oconnell to IR
cut Copper
move thigpen for a pick or cut him
cut battle and walters for the 4th and 5th spot
thats what I would do.
Uhhhh. Wasn't RT a weakness of the Patsies last year?
Isn’t that why this O’Callaghan guys is on waivers?
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
ne silver
what you think about this o calleghan guy is he worth it
FOUR F'S FIND UM FEEL UM FUGUM FORGET UM.
For you guys? Yes.
The Chiefs need help for the O-line, and I don’t think that’s any secret. He did a decent job filling in for Kaczur in 2006 at RT. He missed all of last year with a shoulder injury, so that’s probably a concern, and he’s been primarily a backup so I don’t know how he’d do for an entire year as a start (he filled in for five or six games in ’06, I think). Still, I think he could help your team out on the right side.
