interesting...
Denver is dumping zb… so, it makes sense…
He may be a better fit than Mawae
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* Pioli will make at least one trade in the offseason, and 2 trades during the draft
* I'd prefer "lightning and lightning" as opposed to "lightning and thunder" when it comes to RBs
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB

Go Chiefs!
Mawae is about 4 years older than Casey
by Risktaker on Feb 23, 2010 4:31 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I think I saw Casey was 37 so only 2 years older, but Mawae has played at a higher level longer
I think Mawae’s drop-off due to age would be down to Casey’s level in his prime
He is great at the ZB scheme.
I wouldn’t mind seeing him as a stopgap but, we still need to draft a guy. He is only one year removed from a pro-bowl season and could help us in 2010.
If we can get him cheap ...
Go for it.
Sign him to a one or two year contract at or near the veteran minimum just to get him into camp for competition for the other guys.
If he’s great, great. If he’s not, we cut him and move on with someone else.
I believe we already run the ZB scheme
I agree, Weigmann could be a good stop gap for a year or two
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
yep... the switch was made when Gailey was fired, I think

Question
Did the Broncos start to change last season or just for the upcoming season away from Z-B scheme. Maybe Clady doesn’t fit the power scheme as well as Z-B?

my question is...
why? that O-Line was their strength. unlike haley, McD actually inherited some pretty awesome pieces.
They did lose there ZB guru to Houston I think
Haley seems to be the Odd Duck running the ZB scheme in the Patriots and others system.

Has Weis made any reference to continuing the ZB scheme yet?

I thought Knowsean Moreno would be perfect for the zone-blocking scheme, I guess I was wrong.
My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.
WRITE IT DOWN!
Nope
That’s why they drafted him…all through college his strength was one cut and go.
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
correct me if i'm wrong
but didn’t he leave on bad terms?
You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a quarterback.
--- Any given sunday
Cassel can lead us.
not sure... but IF SO...
he was on bad terms with guys that aren’t here anymore

i thought he was miffed that he was told he was done in KC by text
or something to that effect. felt disrespected
I like your one-liners
“Sign him up.” and “Pay the man”

Casey
Was with the Jets for a couple seasons with Haley. I would grab him up in a second.
The Zone blocking scheme is all about technique and unison. I believe Casey could teach these guys a thing or two.
He was part of a very good Denver line.

exactly!

that’s why I wouldn’t draft a new LT and try to shift everyone else around :)
ok… done with that argument for now!

Yes
And think about it. Brandon Albert is a guy who everyone says would be better as a guard. If you have a LT that has the agility of a guard, that is perfect for a ZB LT. A guy who can swing out and take on a LB or keep the double team.
I think Albert and Waters are a great duo for ZB. We need that Center to pull it all together. We could actually make due with our current guys to fill RG and RT. I just want some young depth to be drafted to develop in this scheme to take over in a year or two.

Power Blocking
Does this mean the Donks will be targeting Pouncey?
Good question
That would make sense but I think they have a young guy to take over at Center.

not from the depth charts I've seen
Lichtensteiger was the young guy: cut in September. AFAIK, Ben Hamilton 32, career back-up is only Center on their roster. Their discussing Center draft prospects over on the MHR.
Casey > Rudy
I like them both. But on his worst day, Casey is better than Rudy on his best day. He would be worth it, if only for a year or two…until our Center “of the future” is identified.
Good luck to Casey wherever he goes, though. I’ve met him a couple of times…and he’s a good guy.
