Chiefs Inactives Include OT Jared Gaither

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs have announced their inactive for today's game against the Buffalo Bills, via Josh Looney:
QB Ricky Stanzi, CB Donald Washington, CB Jalil Brown, OT Jared Gaither, WR Jonathan Baldwin, DE Brandon Bair and NT Jerrell Powe.
Remember, gameday rosters are at 46 players this year, instead of 45, so there are only seven inactives per game.
All these inactives are notables, outside of Bair. The third quarterback rule is out but Stanzi is still inactive. Washington and Brown are the two members of the secondary that are out and Gaither, who suffered an injury earlier in the week and hasn't practiced much, is inactive. We knew Baldwin would be out because of the thumb injury and Powe, the other nose tackle on the roster, is inactive.
The most notable inactive is Gaither, in my opinion. The Chiefs are rolling with two offensive tackles on the roster so an injury to OT Brandon Albert or OT Barry Richardson will cause some problems.

Wait, wait, wait....no Powe?
Uhhhh…who’s going to spell Kelly Gregg?

God, no.
Gordon or TJax would be better options than Dorsey.

Both.
Dorsey isn’t strong against a double team, and we intentionally try to get him singled up as often as possible. His arms are pretty short for a NT, so he’d have trouble trying to grab a double against the G/C.
Tyson can grab doubles, but I’m not confident in him as a NT, and Gordon is far riskier than Powe.

Also
remember Haley’s theory. If you move one starter to another position due to injury….you are making changes to two positions instead of one….
I disagree with Gaither being the most notable….he was injured. Why is Powe not playing?

Are they? I thought they were a little more balanced.
I’m still not a fan of running with one NT, especially an older one we’re trying not to wear out.

We still have
6 DL active. That is what we had last year. We basically kept more WRs and less DBs.
by AZDiamond75 on Sep 11, 2011 11:42 AM CDT up reply actions
And maybe he can.
But Powe definitely can, and did it fairly well in the Preseason. That’s what it comes down to for me: Powe > Gordon, and I already like our depth (Gilberry and Bailey) at the DE position.

Right.
Just odd to me. And who knows, maybe Gregg will go all game just fine.

It is week 1, still fresh
With the new light training camps all the vets will be better prepared to play more i guess
What happens if Gregg gets hurt?

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Our Depth Chart has Powe as his backup. Who knows.

I don't get it
Is Powe injury related? This 53/45 rule is dumb.
by craig in calgary on Sep 11, 2011 11:00 AM CDT up reply actions
He hasn't been on any reports as not practicing.
This baffles me.

It is to make it fair if one team has injuries.
I would like the teams to be able to dress as many as both teams can. Just make it the same number on each team.

I'd just about wager we'll see around 50% nickel today
May not be a ton of NT snaps as is.
I still really wanted to see Powe get worked in some though. =/
The Chiefs and I have mutually agreed on this decision and although I look forward to continuing my career, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Kansas City.
yea, that's bumming me out right now.

WHat about that kid we picked up on waivers from NE

Picked up Steve Maneri from NE

Non Chiefs moments I am looking forward to, not predictions, just what I'm hoping to happen
1. Cam Newton playing terrible
2. Raiders losing
3. Eagles losing
I switched my pick from Rams to Eagles
Should I switched it back?

Not suprised by Stanzi.
I think most teams will opt for two QB’s with the new roster rules. The extra special teamer is too valuable and generally if you are on QB #3 you are pretty much screwed anyways.
The views expressed by craig in calgary do not necessarily represent the views of all Canadians.
Stanzi ought to be the number 2 though. I love that kids spunk and instincts, and his touch on the ball.

I expect by the end of the year he will be.

In ny mind there's no question about it. He's the heir apparent to Cassel.

Stanzi should be number ONE!!!

I wonder if Stanzi will be wearing the red white and blue shoes and gloves with his street clothes?

I expect him to ALWAYS wear them.

Stanzi just refused to play today

He said he wouldn't play against a team who plays home games in Canada.

Chiefs picked up a couple of O linemen this week for a reason
Gaither isn’t a surprise, it’s a setback.
This needs to change soon.
First weekend of football since I can remember without Favre, Moss or Terrell Owens.

Or Peyton Manning.

Not sure if anyone realizes...or cares.
But Manning was the only guy with a real shot to break Farve’s consecutive starts record (obviously excluding younger players with only a couple seasons in).

Very strange that
Lewis made the PS over Patterson, but sign Patterson to replace Bannon.
That mean we only have 4 CBs active?
And they have Washington listed as a CB again?

Yep
and we have all our WRs active today.

Well we knew Baldwin was inactive.
I was surprised to see Colbert and Copper both active.

definitely some shockers on this list
Powe more than Gaither, I think
and the new guy … Lucas Patterson, OG (if I remember the story a bit ago with Bannon getting cut) … is he active?
