Former Chief Gets A Workout With The 49ers

Photo

Boy, wouldn't this be nice. You're basically an unknown NFL player to most fans, you spend the season bouncing from team to team including a stop with the Kansas City Chiefs, and then you end up catching on with a team that has a chance to win the Super Bowl.

That could be the scenario for Chiefs TE Cody Slate faces.

He worked out with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday, according to CSN Bay Area, likely due to 49ers TE Delanie Walker being doubtful for the playoffs at the moment.

Slate spent a couple of training camps with the Chiefs. He was released on the final cut down day before the season.

If he "catches" on...

It’s really going to suck for our talent evaluation, considering how bad our TEs have been.

Would Cody have run into Battle and stopped a (rare this year) TD run?

Probably not…

You ever look at Bewsaf's breakdowns?

Becht had some outstanding games blocking.

Could have two TEs the Chiefs cut in the NFC championship game. Tom Crabtree.

Good for him

He looked pretty good at times during the pre-season. Wanted him to succeed.

I'm not Tom Brady. I'm not who Gerald McCoy and the Bucs needed to see.

Yup. That photo was the TD strike courtesy of Ricky Stanzi

Todd Haley - Crennel just prove to the world that you're a f***ing Joke! Matt Cassel - Orton showed with 3 weeks of practice you can beat the world champions. #7 your legacy is...you don't have one, you're a backup all along. Should never have been a starter in the NFL.

Hope he gets to play for them

seemed like he had a ton of potential, not sure why we didn’t keep him,

Hmm

Does anybody know where Brad Cottam is? I miss that guy

He was on the news the other day.

He’s doing charity work around KC.

stanzi

i find it hard to believe stanzi would’ve been worse than tyler palko. what complete mistake and missed opportunity by the chiefs coaches.

by michaelaglover on Jan 5, 2012 2:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Decided to watch this video

Couple of things that I noticed… Gaither is playing LT.

Who was wearing #42 during the preseason?

by dbaty7 on Jan 5, 2012 12:43 PM CST up reply actions  

i was sort of hoping to see slate return next year for camp

now, id be estatic if the man who caught a great pass from stanzi, gets his shot with the 49ers.

fyi, take that alex smith haters. i think maybe 5 of us felt he was a legit qb still

I'm one of em

Sure he may not be an “elite” QB, but after all the coaching changes they’ve gone through in San Fran, the fact that he’s playing fairly well says something about him I think.

by bh13 on Jan 5, 2012 2:22 PM CST up reply actions  

yeah, i just always felt he wasnt as bad as people said. that he sort of got a bad rep for mediocre play

people made him out like he was a ryan leaf level of bust. yet there was always something there that at the least said he could be a 8-12ish qb ranked game manager….still not good for the top pick, but thats on the 49ers for going away from rodgers when they felt he was too cocky
