Kansas City Chiefs Depth Chart: DJ, Belcher Back On The Second Team

is a little more serious than they let on. I hope he is healed up by the opener seeing as how we have 10 days off between GB and the Monday Night game. If not better start scouring the waiver wire for RT’s

I saw they brought him in a few times, guess they really want him on the roster.

Hasn’t the offense picked it up everytime Casey’s come in the game?

Horne should be right behind Chambers on the Chart. He shown much better than Lawrence and Urban. Hopefully Horne will make the roster because we could use him.

First, this depth chart mean very little. Charles was (and still is) listed as the #2 RB last week and started the game.

Second, I really hope they actually give Horne some reps at WR this game. I get the whole “secret weapon” thing, but between the deep balls they tried to get to him the first game and the first string TD catch the second, I think people are onto this kid. So lets get him some reps. I was glad to see him play well on ST. That locked up his roster spot in my opinion.

DJ/Belcher – I really hope this depth chart means nothing. I would like to see DJ and Belcher on the 1st team. Yes Demorrio had 2 sacks but, I thought as a whole DJ and Belcher played much better in all phases. I thought they were sound against the run, played the pass well and got solid pressure on the QB. It was DJ (and Arenas) that pressured Kolb into throwing that Kendrick Lewis INT. Belchers and DJs plays may not always show up on the stat sheet but they had a positive affect on the field.

Shaun Smith – I’m not sure if you guys notcied but all 3 NT’s got some PT with the 1st team. In my opinion, Shaun Smith played the best. He was stout against the run. If I can recall correctly, Shaun Smith caused three short yardage plays (2nd/3rd and short) to fail. He ate up double teams and stood his ground. I also saw him running up and down the line, making tackles near the sideline. I would really like to see Shaun Smith as our starting NT with Ron Edwards rotating in to keep him fresh.

Jon McGraw – I realize that he is the whillie vet and Kendrick Lewis is the wet behind the ears rookie. That being said, I hope at some point Lewis gets the starting nod. He impressed me. Plays fast, kept to his responsibilities and was all over the field. Eventually he can pair up with Berry to round out our vastly improving secondary.

Why does it have to be Williams/Mays or DJ/ Belcher?

Line – Hali, Dorsey, TJax, Studebaker
LBs – DJ, Mays, Belcher, Vrabel
Secondary – Flowers, Carr, Berry playing center-field

Let’s crack some skulls!

Sadly Tyson was a 1st pick so Pioli would be swallowing oceans of pride to start Shaun Smith over him, even though it would be the right move
