Chiefs Get Down To 80 Players With Two Roster Moves
by Joel Thorman on Aug 30, 2011 1:36 PM CDT
Email
PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs have made their roster cuts before the 3:00 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) deadline to get down to the league-mandated 80-man roster limit. Haley said (via @JoshLooney) that the Chiefs released K Todd Carter and placed OT Ryan O'Callaghan on injured reserve, which puts them at 80 players.
They were previously at 89 players but released seven players yesterday.
Carter was added on Aug. 10 as the Chiefs second kicker in camp. He has a very strong leg, which Haley noted the other day. It's possible he was brought in to tinker around with the league's new kickoff rules. That, or you just want an extra kicker in camp.
The Chiefs picked up O'Callaghan off waivers shortly before the 2009 season and started 12 games that year. In 2010, O'Callaghan was injured during training camp which paved the way for OT Barry Richardson to step in at right tackle, a position he didn't give up all year.
This means that the Chiefs are at 80 players for Thursday night's preseason finale against the Green Bay Packers. Two days after that game, on Sept. 3, the Chiefs will need to get down to 53 players.
Speaking of O'Callaghan, he's a good example of what can happen here over the next couple of weeks. He was signed on Sept. 6, 2009, right after he was released by the New England Patriots on the final cut down day. Players similar to O'Callaghan will be available come Sept. 3, the final cut down day this year.

We need to find a serviceable back up tackle...
PLEASE.. I want, desire Gaither to be that guy but we cant count on it.
WHEW!!!!!!!
I don't think he is the backup.
I think he is the starter. Richardson will back up Albert.

I hope that's the case
But I’m not convinced yet. I think that would be putting our best 5 out there…just still worried about Gaither’s help.
Maybe he starts the season on the bench and slowly gets more and more PT.
Woah. If the absolutely abysmal pass blocker Richardson is backing up at the premiere pass blocking line position
Pioli, Haley and Muir have failed the team and the fans. I don’t buy this at all. Perhaps Gaither gets healthy and starts (or eventually takes over) at RT, or maybe they do what some want and start Gaither at LT and move Branden to RT, but Richardson should never ever be a starting or back up LT. Gaither at RT starting (if healthy), Branden at LT. If he gets hurt, Gaither moves over to LT and Richardson takes over at RT.

If that happens, Albert would move back to LT if Gaither goes down.
Richardson would play RT.
The views expressed by craig in calgary do not necessarily represent the views of all Canadians.
Making a huge assumption there
I’m not saying it is a horrible idea, but until Albert is taking reps at RT, I won’t entertain an assumption that he is going to be moved to RT.
Gaither has a long way to go to prove he is 100% healthy, and can remain healthy.

Didn't Albert go down for one game last year?
I thought Richardson filled in nicely for him
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
Richardson filled in horribly.
It was the Seattle game, and it was comical. Literally, Cassel’s first move on every pass attempt was to dodge Cris Clemons. Cassel did well because he had no expectation that Richardson would block Clemons, so he just took it in stride.

Oh that's right
I couldn’t remember him being horrible because Cassel overcame it…
Now I am remembering that great 3rd down completion to Bowe where Cassel had to execute the spin move at about the same instant he set his feet on a five step drop because the RDE ran RIGHT by RIchardson untouched
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
So it's settled. Richardson will be the LT....it will make Cassel into an elite qb!

Butch Lewis is probably more likely than Mims to make the roster
and it’s not that unlikely that they’d carry only 3 OTs
yes, but I do actually like mims a lot
enormous upside. he’s a perfect PS candidate but I don’t know that he’d stay there long
based on his play this preseason

We only carried three last year.
I expect unless Gaither isn’t going to be able to contribute, it’s going to be him, Albert, and BRich as our tackles. BRich is a good swing who can play either side in a pinch (although they didn’t move him to the left last year when Albert went down because O’Call was inactive that day so Waters played left tackle,) and either Albert or Gaither is about to learn the right side, too.
"Me and Matt Cassel just fucked you up, dog!"
If O'Callaghan is on IR then he can't be signed by another team
Or am I missing something here?
It is what it is and we are who we are.
Sober (again) since January 10th, 2011.
Yup...
and whom is this Todd Carter character… lol
Go Chiefs!!!!
They brought him in
In case Succop gets injured during the year, they have a familiarity with a kicker and know if hes a fit or have to go with someone they scouted or off the street

Except he keeps missing FG's in practice
If Succop gets injured they will sign someone they are unfamiliar with. I hear Medlock is available…

Isn't the CFL the NFL's minor league
Just call em up. It’s not like that’s real football anyway. Damn Canadians and their mayo on french fries. It’s damn unamerican I tell ya. :)
we're Fed at tackle
Gaither should start on the left side and Albert on the right, but depth-wise we’ve got nothing.
BRich is a borderline starter, but he is great depth who has practiced both sides.
He went in last year as a swing backup, and then when O’Call got hurt, he took over and played well enough to hold O’Call off after he got healthy. As long as Gaither can play we’re not desperate for help at tackle. That’s not to say Pioli couldn’t bring someone else in if there’s a cut he really likes, but I don’t think he feels pressured by losing O’Callahan, as I think he was out of a job the day they signed Gaither, anyway…
"Me and Matt Cassel just fucked you up, dog!"
I just wonder how our run game would look with Gaither and Lilja both on the left side. There wouldn't be any push at all over there.
This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game."

But I sure hope the Chiefs kick the shit out of the Packers 54-0. I sure have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about this team, particularily the line play. I’m hope I’m wrong and Haley is able to push the secret “stop sucking” button before the home opener, but I’m not sure it’s that easy.

I’m a tepid Cassel supporter. He got the team to the playoffs and has done everything that has been asked of him. He’s been a leader and an exemplary Chief. I could see an upgrade, but this dude ain’t Grbac or Alexander. He’s been quality for KC (remember the Croyle, Thigpen, Huard debacle). Respect is due.

Good thing the RB's were taking snaps from center, that was an awfully forward thinking offense they ran there...
Come on man. Rip him when he fails, give him credit where it’s due. He’s not Joe Montana but he’s not Casey Printers either.He was a solid QB for this team and helped KC get to the promise land for the first time since Trent Green wore a jersey.
The RBs
had a very good TD to INT ratio.

Rip him when he fails, give him credit where it’s due.
I noticed it was the QB’s fault when talking about the “Croyle, Thigpen, Huard debacle” but didn’t say much about 2009 when Cassel went 4-12 with the same team as Croyle, Thigpen, and Huard.
"Hater" is a term used by weak-minded people in the face of legitimate criticism.
It wasn't solely the QB's fault then either
Nor is it now. But Croyle couldn’t stay healthy, Thigpen was erratic as hell and Huard just wasn’t good enough.
Cassel has faults too. I question his ability to throw downfield with accuracy. He tends to lock onto the receivers. He doesn’t go through his progressions as much as I would like and he is too quick to check down when his first read isn’t there.
He was a bad QB on a bad team in 2009. He was an average QB on an overachieving team in 2010. He was part of the team that over achieved.
He’s a game manager QB that has shown flashes (especially in NE) at times but hasn’t consistently made plays. But he doesn’t turn the ball over and is smart with maintaining field position by not making stupid throws. That’s exactly what you want with a QB on a run first team.

O'Call has been playing in practice.
If they hadn’t been able to pick up a vet like Gaither, they might’ve asked him to suck it up through the season.
This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game."
Someone please explain to me this desire for Albert to be moved to the right
I realize when Gaither is 100% healthy he’s a beast, but I don’t think he’s there right now. I’d much rather keep Albert on the left, where he has constantly improved and performed very well, and let Gaither shore up the right side so Cassel stops getting murdered.
Also, has there been any rumor of the Chiefs bringing Gurode in? It’s not like we don’t have the money to spend, and we could definitely use an upgrade at center.
We have Weigs and Hudson.
I can’t see any interest in a high dollar cenetr at this point.
"Me and Matt Cassel just fucked you up, dog!"
I don't see the Albert improvement
that you do….and I don’t think he has played very well. ESPN ranked starting Tackles and Gaither was 7th and Albert was 29th. While rankings aren’t everything, it says what most people know. Gaitther is elite when healthy and Albert is nothing but average.
The reason for the move is that Albert is a better pass protector then run blocker and Albert is a better run blocker then pass protector. He screams right tackle.
Sorry my typo
Gaither is a better pass blocker.
Shoot
If I were the Bears I would be all over Gurode. I’m hoping there is a T and ILB after cuts so we can upgrade the roster.
I don't know
