So under contract we have Albert and Mims as tackles?

is that right?

Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.

Im not really sad about this either

while I like the “sexy” picks in the draft and feel like we should get OL in FA I realize rebuilding this OL is a MAJOR need for this team, so where as I would like to have a miracle of miracles and trade up for RG3 or get another weapon offensively or defensively I know that there is 0% chance of it happening because we need Girth more than Speed this year.

I believe Richardson is restricted

So he’s on the team until whatever the deadline is for them to put a tender on him

by RamX21 on Feb 16, 2012 4:04 PM CST up reply actions

He was restricted last year

This year he’s UFA

Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!

by ChiefWarPaint on Feb 16, 2012 4:05 PM CST up reply actions

And we also have Mims

by RamX21 on Feb 16, 2012 4:10 PM CST up reply actions

This is acually dissapointing

I was looking forward what Maneri could contribute as a tackle. Guess he had problems gaining weight . Now we have yet another plodding Tight end on the roster…….sigh

by saints_chiefsfan1979 on Feb 16, 2012 3:59 PM CST reply actions

he was already on the roster

now, they have room for another good OT

at least, that’s what I’m hoping

by stagdsp on Feb 16, 2012 4:09 PM CST up reply actions

Me too.

Where's UPS in making some not-even-closely-innocuous comment

about who this means we are going to draft?

by Eastcoastransplant on Feb 16, 2012 4:24 PM CST up reply actions

I was hoping he could develop into that good OT

I like former Tight Ends at tackle like a Jason Peters

by saints_chiefsfan1979 on Feb 16, 2012 4:31 PM CST up reply actions

I didn't have that much hope for him :)

he looks like a role-player to me

which is fine… he’ll be better for short yardage than Becht

maybe he won’t run into the RB?

by stagdsp on Feb 16, 2012 4:38 PM CST up reply actions

but how. they have moeaki locked in, then now oconnell and mariani are at best a 3 te.

I don't mind this

He’s going to be used like one of those old school, para-tackle type TEs. I think they’re of value with the popularity of 3-4 defenses.

Jason Dunn was one hell of a blocker.

For a second there when you said "seeing all those numbers" I thought you meant the score

I miss the days where we had double digits on the scoreboard by halftime.

Ha

I think that was the game where Waters fucking schooled Ray Lewis. Lewis was bitching on the sideline about being double teamed but it was all Waters.

TOUCHDOWN! KAN-SAH-CITY!!!

by TheScootness on Feb 16, 2012 4:31 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah, and John Madden kept pointing out how he was getting single-blocked, but Ray kept insisting he was getting double-teamed.

Then this happened around the goalline… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6oRy0p5Byo&feature=plcp&context=C31fa9caUDOEgsToPDskLbMwzAc3Z4zrjOHJFpoBRI.
Everyone was taking shots at Ray. Roaf and Richardson were tossing him around all day on outside runs, Waters and Shields manhandled him on inside runs. John Madden even highlighted John WELBOURNE pancaking him once. Take a look at the end of the Dunn stiff arm I posted. Brian Waters just lays on top of him.
Watch the whole game here: http://www.kcchiefsgames.com/member-only/Games/ChiefsvsRavens2004.htm
And for Waters’ sake, I’ll post this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd-kPOepNZs&feature=plcp&context=C329bed9UDOEgsToPDskIk5Kqzwc6ylpjL1iaWv92e

I noticed that at the end

Waters absolutely mauled him in that game.

Bask in the glory that is Kwame Harris. Poor Alex...

by JHWK on Feb 16, 2012 6:20 PM CST up reply actions

Freekin bootiful.

You know who I saw that from last year? McClain. That GB game, when they ran it in from short yardage, I saw McClain in the pile twisting on Woodson’s helmet. Woodson got up mad as hell, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he just strutted back to his sideline. I loved that.

by Brsrkr on Feb 16, 2012 7:48 PM CST up reply actions

There is no possible way someone can say they dislike McClain, especially a Chiefs fan.

Whether it was the play you described, him pancaking A.J Hawk on a 5 yard run by Jackie up the gut, or even a ten yard rush by him at the back of our own endzone in the Denver game in which he just ran over Chris Harris and kept dragging those DB’s. This guy needs to pound the ball more, but I don’t want his blocking to be diminished, either! I’m so conflicted!

my only knock on McClain

is that hes related to a Raider, outside of that I love the guy
