We've got unplayable LBs backing up a starting unit that contains one pretty decent player and two other "meh".

What do we do?

I would go to the waiver wire, as Gretz said in his blog, not sure if they'll make a move. You're rebuilding, yes, but you want to have good young players to deal with geez!! haha

Short term fix: Wait to see who gets cut next week.

Long term: Sack Carl Peterson as soon as possible.

Good question, Mr. SNR. What can we do? If there are no solid LBs available through waivers this year, we have to watch Herm try to make chicken salad all year. Then, we have to draft LBs like there's no tomorrow and wait two more years for them to develop.

Not to beat an expired horse that is no more and has passed on to the great pasture in the sky where the grass is always green, the water blue, and the fillies cute but kinda skanky, but this comes back to whether or not Herm is the phenomenal judge of talent that lots of peeps make him out to be. Somebody, in addition to Guntheriffic, must have thought that these guys could play.

Bad News : Our LB's are playing like $3it, and likely suck as a unit.

Good News : we know it BEFORE the season, we ADMIT it, and we aren't running around powdering bottoms and changing diapers.

"Thanks for trying. I understand, but you're terrible. Cheers."

Waivers and practice squad designees.

I thought a famous person once said that you don't take LB's in the first round because they are so easy to find in the middle rounds.

Nightfyre 08-21-2008 02:52 PM

Anyone know if Boldin can play LB?

I thought this was a good article by Gretz. It wasn't oozing with propaganda. That bieng said, ****! I had hoped Octavien would come around and we'd have some solid depth we could develop.

Wait just a ding dong dippity dang minute, men. We're talking about Gretz here. Gretz of "The Chiefs know what they're doing." fame. Gretz the Carl-can-do-no-wrong man. Gretz the excuse-maker supreme.

Maybe we should wait and see how these guys actually perform on the field in a real game before jumping off the bridge of despair into the freezing waters of hopelessness without the life vest of hope or the bungee cord of optimism. I mean, maybe he's full of it again.

The annual "Gun is a great DC, BUT he's got to have ....." talk is starting early this year.

Yes, i agree. All Gun has to have is a Superstar Pro Bowl player at these positions to succeed:

LDE
DT
DT
RDE
LOLB
ROLB
MLB
LC
RC
FS
SS

Gun just needs a few more years, please be patient.



Love Carl.....

Count on Derrick Johnson, Demorrio Williams and Pat Thomas to be there as the Chiefs starters.
I think we can only count on Johnson, PERIOD, to do anything.

We have one decent LB. Everybody else sucks.

What a disaster. Dorsey and Tank are going to have to make sure nobody gets past the line of scrimmage.

i'm a herm fan but every FA he has brought in has been awful

Rain Man 08-21-2008 04:56 PM

5-1-5 defense. Stuff the running game, and blanket the receivers. Linebackers are superfluous.

If Morgan could step up, Pollard could make one hell of a Cover 2 linebacker.
