Chiefs Worked Out A Few Safeties Before Bringing Reshard Langford Back

by Joel Thorman on Sep 15, 2011 11:01 AM CDT

The Kansas City Chiefs lost S Eric Berry for the season and on Wednesday announced that S Reshard Langford, who was cut a week earlier, was brought back.

Before bringing Langford back, they worked out several safeties, according to Aaron Wilson of Scout.com. Those safeties include Gerald Alexander, Vincent Fuller and Chris Horton.

The Chiefs also worked out offensive lineman Quinn Ojinnaka, who has the Chiefs connection having played for the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots previously.

The Chiefs try players out just about every week and we only hear about a few of them so I wouldn't look too far into this.

He looked real solid in the first couple preseason games in man coverage

Then we started using him in that man-off and zone and he got burned. A lot.

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.

It feels more like “Look at this team, aren’t they awesome?!?” as opposed to “Here is our enemy, HATE THEM!”

If nothing else

it should (forgive me for being forward here) shut up everyone who has been bitching about the team not bringing in anyone for depth. I’m certainly not a big fan of Sabby or McGraw starting, but the pool of players available in free agency isn’t anything to get excited about either. Horton played good as an undrafted rookie in Washington, but there must be a reason why he’s currently unsigned by anyone. I’m sure someone like Sharper has worked out for other teams and I’m guessing that his body is just too beat up at his age now. I’m willing to bet that if Player X has a bad workout with a team or just doesn’t have the skill anymore, other teams will find out. I’m sure GMs talk.

Your eyes tell you more than any statistics can.

"Exceeded" expectations last year with the youth and talent we had...

…and a year before that we saw as expected a rebuilding year one under Haley/Pioli. This year we continue to see growing pains (and how painful it is to see!!). But I can also see how NOT forcing your hand to pick up quick fix players benefits this team as a whole in the years ahead, consistent with what they’ve been preaching all along.

by urod69 on Sep 15, 2011 12:14 PM CDT up reply actions

Romeo Crennel could've played better than Sabby!!!

I’ll give Sabby one more week and call it a ‘learning curve’, and hope he pulls his head out of his ass. I think Langford has a better shot.

I think our defense will benefit from the increased aggressiveness of Tamba Hali, Powe, Houston, and Derrick Johnson, which should take alittle pressure off the secondary. However, the Lions passing game will challenge even the strongest of defenses. So here’s to hoping Romeo Crennel can get these guys to go lights out…

I just say

Move Albert to the #1 WR spot, slide Bowe to the #2 WR, Dexter in as LT, slide Cassel over to RT, put Powe in on the active roster at QB and move B-Rich over to SS. Every hole filled, and all weakness’ fixed.

Before the draft there was talk that he could fill in a safety position…he lacks the height but is quick and has the built.
