Chiefs vs. Chargers: Dexter McCluster Is Unlikely To Play

Better to be listed as doubtful versus out

 I hope it’s not chlamidia.

Gotta put Phil on his ass

Like I said in the fanshot, Dex is out with an illness(cold/flu?) and the odds of that improving over the course of three days is far more likely then say a guy who’s doubtful with a ankle sprain or something like that. These reports are based on his condition at the time of the report which again feeling deathly sick with the flu one day and feeling near completely better then next day isnt uncommon.

we are all going to get our first real game look at the new and improved Jackie Battle. Battle could be the biggest surprise on the squad this year. Look out baby, MNF is coming!

It’s hard to say how much this hurts our chances when we haven’t seen him play a game yet, and we don’t know just how much they intended to use him. It definitely doesn’t help. Horne is a decent story as a ufa, but the kid is not scaring anybody lining up out of the gate as a third receiver.

Those kind of talent/responsibility mismatches are what you get on a bad team

So let me get this straight… He comes down with some mysterious “illness” 3 days before the game, and that’s going to keep him out? Sounds like a pretty wicked bug… This just stinks of the Chiefs trying to throw up a smoke screen.

Namely, lie as much as possible about injuries.

of the new arrowhead and got to see some of the chiefs players warming up on the field. Dex was out there in full pads so hopefully he plays that would be a bummer

take some dayquill and get ya ass in the game

are they allowed to get put back in at the last minute?

Chargers thing he will be out, will they still game plan against him?

It’s good not to show all your cards week one ;)

Not having him is a setback if he can’t play, but it is not the end of the world. Charles and Jones are still fine, as well as Jackie Battle. Bowe and Chambers are fine. We have enough weapons to perform without him, although I would prefer to have him on the field. Brian 69 you are certainly entitled to your opinion on Dexter, but I think you are completely wrong. McCluster is definitely going to make a name for himself as a Chief.

We also really need McCluster because the Chargers dbs are not deep at all, they are under average at best outside of Jammer and that includes safeties. Also, merriman is their best coverage LB, with McCluster there, they would just have to watch him catch 8 yarder after 8 yarder, or take a CB off Chambers or Bowe.

We need both of them to win

Just sayin the guy adds a x factor. ANd teams just can’t plan for him.

by the way Isn’t this what new england did for a long time list everyone doubtful so you had no clue who’s going to play ?

it doesn’t matter…the chargers play well with or without him. He has only 5 sacks in his last 15 games

with WAY more speed. ill take that

next subject

They’re both pretty small, but McCluster is much more of an all-around football player. Main valid comparison is the quickness and burst. Both are also very fast on a line, with edge to Dante, perhaps, but in every other respect, McCluster shows more like a football player. He blocks, he’ll make a tough catch, he’ll get yards after contact, you can just hand him the ball as a regular HB. I think KC was much more limited in the ways they could get Dante the ball, because his ball skills weren’t as good. He could run around people, but you got a finger on him, and he’d go down.

McCluster and Arenas both are surprisingly TOUGH runners, caroming off would-be tacklers, and somehow keeping their feet. I think both McCluster and Arenas are much stronger in the upper body than Hall ever was, and both show ME a lot more promise in significant playing time on regular O and D, respectively. There was only so much you could do with Hall…
