Brian Waters Heads To The Super Bowl

PrintIf you're looking for silver linings in the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are not in the 2012 Super Bowl, look to Brian Waters. The former Chiefs guard and now New England Patriots offensive lineman is going to his first Super Bowl.
Waters was asked about his emotions after the game and said:
"I'm overjoyed. This is an unbelievable deal. This is probably the most excited I have been in a long time, since the birth of my children probably. God knows this has been unbelievable and I have been truly blessed. I appreciate my teammates and these guys welcomed me here and just gave me an opportunity to do something special."
Incredible. Gotta feel good about Waters getting his chance (at least I do). Makes it slightly easier to stomach the Chiefs missing out on the playoffs.
So, if the Patriots win this one and Waters gets a ring, we're just waiting on Tony Gonzalez to get one, right?

Normally I root against the Pats in the Superbowl
but not this year. Love to see Waters get a ring. I could give a crap about Lawrence Tynes, lol.
Same here.
Plus I despise Eli Manning. I’d love to see Wilfork plant an Eli Manning sized hole in the middle of Indy’s field.

Lawrence Tynes is to football...
as Lonnie Smith was to baseball. Lonnie Smith has 2 World Series rings because he was lucky enough to be on the right team, at the right time. Sorry, Lonnie.

Couldn't agree more
That’s why I hate the people who like to point out Tynes (and others like Key Fox) as some sort of mistake made by the Chiefs just because he has a ring. Even when he hit that game winner in OT back in Lambeau and everyone was gushing over the guy, if he wouldn’t have missed the TWO earlier, it wouldn’t have needed to come down to that.
I mean really, let’s congratulate Tynes for not screwing up a chip shot field goal like your counter-part for Baltimore? Not me. I had no problem when the Chiefs traded his inconsistent leg, and still have no problem with it. Who they got to replace him with until Succop came along is a different issue.

That's the best you've got?
You didn’t go back to 2003 and shame the defense too?
If management could actually build a solid team on both sides of the ball, perhaps Brian would have won a championship here. Just a thought. I know you’re all about Hunt and Pioli’s process, but you know, sometimes, the process is flawed.

dumbass cut Brian Waters. This just furthers my hate for Haley and how he ruined this team while he was here. Good luck to Waters.

If the Chiefs hire Josh McDaniels, I will cancel my season tickets -- phew!
I think that was just as much a Pioli decision as it was a Haley one, if not more so.
And hindsight is 20/20. We had Asamoah waiting in the wings and ready to play, and it definitely looked like Waters had lost a step last year. In fact, despite Waters’ Pro Bowl bid, most would tell you that Lilja looked far better than he did last year. The fact that Waters played great this year and Lilja not so much is just the way it goes sometimes. Of course the common denominator in both of their down years was Casey Wiegmann.

Did Waters actuallty play that well this year?
I kind of had the impression he was the least of their 5 starting linemen, but I have only seen a handful of Pats games.
Would he have beaten Lilja and/or Asamoah in a training camp battle?

No.
He was way out of shape, especially for Camp Haley. Being released allowed him time to get into shape before the Pats came calling.
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
He was actually around 3rd or 2nd.
Vollmer sucks, and Connoly had a bit of a down year.
Mankins is the best, then Light and Waters are around tied for 2nd. At least this is what I can gather from the Pats games I’ve seen. I dunno if he was Pro Bowl worthy, but definitely good.

Thank you
People seem to have forgotten that Lilja outplayed Waters last year.
I think they knew they needed to get Asamoah on the field, so it became a choice between Lilja and Waters. Lilja is younger and played better last year, so they talked to Waters about it and he decided he’d rather be released than ride the bench.
But people act as though cutting him made no sense at all. It’s frustrating.

That's certainly true
It’s just part of getting older…he was losing mobility at the second level. I didn’t pay attention but it would be interesting to see how often Waters pulled for us in 2010.

What else were they supposed to do? Waters has a year or two left, Lilja has several more than that and had played well in 2010. There was no way they were keeping Asamoah off the field. So out of those three who do you cut? My vote goes to the old guy.

I'm guessing it was a mutual seperation.
Teams wanted to go younger, Brian didn’t feel he needed to compete for his starting job so they released him at his request.

So he wasn't lying
when he said it was a mutual decision, and he told them Asamoah was ready to start?
"Be an analyst. Don’t be a douchebag." - Terrell Suggs to Skip Bayless
I think he did what was best for the organization.
We wanted a youth movement, he waited a while for us to get a young replacement for him that could play to his level (Jon Asamoah, 2012 Pro Bowl right guard!), then the Chiefs rewarded him by letting him get a chance at a ring before he retired.

does this mean we can put Lilja on "backup duty" and get DeCastro? please! pretty please!

Or better yet
If they like what they see with Darryl Harris
Draft DeCastro, keep Harris as backup C/G and trade Lilja for a mid round pick if we can get it.
It's no fun if I have to explain it.
How we gonna get Manning without Lilja?

Everyone talks about DeCastro
but I haven’t seen anyone suggest this:
He’s sharp, right? Is there a reason to think he couldn’t be an outstanding center? Hudson is smaller, and was an All-American left guard. Could this work?
Albert, Hudson, DeCastro, Asamoah, Richardson or upgrade
That’s a promising young line – the tackles are the oldest, just entering year five.

Im so glad for waters to have a chance to win a superbowl,he has well deserved it.Does this mean the falcons trade Tony G to the patriots so he can win a ring also.Bernard Pollard came close yesterday also.that was another dumb move by the chiefs also.
Pollard wasnt a mistake

12 tackles, an INT called back for a penalty and a sweet tip that resulted in an INT and the guy sucks?

So you'd pay him the same money as Baltimore did just to be a backup?

Plus the reason he was cut in the first place
sounded more like an attitude/personality issue. That and he can’t cover worth a crap, although when you are playing next to Ed Reed you don’t looks so bad. The only thing I liked about Pollard when he was a Chief was he was a monster on special teams, but he sucked as a safety and still does.
by CapsLockKey on Jan 23, 2012 1:18 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Pollard is a solid safety when he is used mostly for run support and isn't asked to be rangy
That works well when Ed Reed is your free safety.
It doesn’t work in the defense the Chiefs currently run because we want both safeties to be capable in run support and pass defense.

Pollard does have some great games

And in Baltimore he’s got a guy next to him which makes up for his weaknesses. They’re a perfect combo.

They really are
Ed Reed is the PERFECT safety to play with Pollard. Because I don’t know if there’s any other S in the league talented enough to make up for his lack of coverage and recognition skills. Maybe Berry in a few years?

I can see the logic behind this… sorta. But Pioli is the one that let ‘her’ go. It’s not like BW hit free agency and ‘broke up with us’. The truth is, without injuries to their OL in NE this year, BW might be watching the playoffs from home just like the rest of us. He might not have gotten the opportunity to play anywhere.

So, if the Patriots win this one and Waters gets a ring, we’re just waiting on Tony Gonzalez to get one, right?
I would love to see Tony G get a ring, but im not gonna sit around and wait for it, If Tony retires without a ring Ill feel bad, but If the chiefs win 1, I wont trade that for Tony to retire with one.
Why would Waters getting to the

Maybe
because Brain was a bright spot on this team for a long time not just on the field but in the community. He gave everything he had for this team when he was here and at least it makes me feel good that he finally gets a chance to play in the super bowl. Do I wish he was doing it with the chiefs? of course but thats just not the way things worked out. I still will not be pulling for the pats because I don’t like the team, but if they do win I will be happy for Mr. Waters

OK everyone that wants to jump on Pioli's case.
I believe Waters wanted out, he could have stayed if he wanted to be a backup, to a player that was playing better at the time. On a team not close, to performing for a superbowl. But no Brian and the Chiefs did a smart thing, by letting go of the veteran, so the younger guy can get better, and Brian can try for a ring before he retires. Sorry to bust everyone’s bubble, but the Chiefs were’nt winning one with Brian.

I will never root for either Tony Gonzalez or Jared Allen for a Superbowl. Its just a thing I have against former Chiefs that expressed their desire to move elsewhere. And I don’t care if it was Carl’s fault or Pioli’s fault or whoever. Once a player talks about wanting to be traded or wanting out of KC I have no respect for them and am not going to root for them again. Gonzo and Allen both did that. Waters did not and I will be pulling for him on SB Sunday.

Agree. Jared Allen did have issues here and didn't like Carl Peterson calling him out on it.

My best friend is a Vikings fan because he lives up near Minneapolis (he’s definately a bigger Chiefs fan considering he owns season tickets and comes down for nearly every game) but I don’t root against them unless they’re playing us. I just don’t like former Chiefs who wanted out of KC.

He was.
Last year. Which is all Haley and Pioli had to go by.
He’s also younger, and hadn’t spent the last several months in negotiations instead of working out.

Well sure if you want to go by all that stuff.
But dude said Haley was stupid. I think the “Period” or “nuff said” may even have been implied.
It’s pretty hard to argue with that.
It's no fun if I have to explain it.
What Tarkus said
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I am the Master of Hyperenthetical Asiditry (you know, like this. Only more)
You should put that in your sig.

Only one probelm
I hate Tom Brady more(I’m a Montana fan..), and yes i do like Brian CHIEFS were stupid to cut him.. If they hadn’t they could be where New England is… Brian was and is still top of his game.. Top echelon of his position..
Holy cow, if we'd decided to keep Waters we'd be in the Super Bowl?
The more you know.

Just curious...
Is it because he is an ex-chiefs you feel this way? Would you feel the same about the Ravens and pollard? I’m sure you would if it were the falcons and Tony G but there is no denying everyone here would probably go for that if it couldn’t be us. Just curious if its a former Chiefs thing you are rooting for or the ones that really gave a lot for us.
