Probably, if Alex Smith is the plan then it's gonna require an elite Trent Green type of line for him to succeed. They already have the interior lineman, Schwartz and Asamoah are fine enough players.

I figure Albert will play the tag at LT, with Fish at RT. Next year kick Fish to LT and Stephenson at RT.

It just doesn't make any sense to me to take a 1.1 LT in the draft... kick him over to RT and retrain him to do everything in reverse... then move him back over to the LT spot the next season.

Maybe it is easier than I think it is, but it seems to be counter productive to me.

sorry, had to....

at this point, we're looking at letting him walk next year for a hopeful compensatory 3rd (but no guarantee)...or trading him this year, for a 3rd (i don't see anyone giving us a second and paying him if miami wouldn't)


once we decided we didn't want him, we had to trade him...they failed

he can't be our LT, shouldn't be our RT, and won't play guard

Someones tackle will get hurt between now and the trade deadline. He'll get traded or play one year at LT and then be released.

The Deal Is Dead.

I like your idea and thinking creatively, but Alex is a bit limiting though Charles and Davis both lining up in the backfield could create some confusion - both from a rushing and play action standpoint.

Albert played LG in college because D'Brickashaw Ferguson, another 1st round LT was at UVA at the same time.

Albert's talent is being mobile enough to deal with most speed rushers and he can be useful on the stretch plays that Jamal Charles has had a lot of success with under Haley and last year. Albert may not be very good at dealing with the big space eating DTs and NGs that guards have to block.

Chiefs fans should stop thinking that Albert is a guard just because he played it in college when another 1st round LT was on his team.

so is John Goodman
