Some Planeteers like to impress others with their cynicsm because, for some reason, they have come to believe that sounding skeptical is the same thing as sounding intelligent. Others would make great cheerleaders were it not for the unfortunate fact that they lack tittahs. The truth is, of course, somewhere in the middle. The main thing that Chiefs fans have to remember is that this team will be very, very inconsistent for some time. Good games in which we look like a playoff caliber squad and bad games that make you want to shoot yourself in the pelvis. Herm has bitten off a heck of a lot with "The Plan". It will take time ... lots of time to see it through. It's probably a 4500 meltdown deal, at least. FAX |

We are pretty crowded at skill positions, as well...Jackie Battle looks pretty decent, so can we afford to keep LJ, Charles, Smith, and Battle? Are we giving up on Smith already? He played well last year when he was in the game... I think we'll have to make some tough cuts this year... Hopefully next season in the 3rd or 4th round we target a center...because I think Rudy blows. And shit, if we landed a premiere LT in round 1...move Waters to center and Albert to LG (I don't give a shit if we drafted him to be a tackle) and we'd be on our way to having a great offensive line... That reminds me, I'm going to bust out the Tivo and see how Richardson did last night...I forgot to watch for him. |

You're right that there are going to be some tough cuts. We're absolutely stacked at the RB position right now. I'm thinking that LJ and Charles are really the only lock. Smith is injured right now so I don't know if he's going to stick around on the roster....especially if Battle out performs him. I'd like to see Savage stay...but we just don't have the room for him. Hopefully he'll stick on the practice squad. Our right side of the line is still a gaping hole right now. McIntosh is proving that he can't handle the RT position and Jones wasn't doing very good last night at the RG position. If we're going to take our licks this year...then I'd like to see Richardson either put at the RG or RT position so that he can get some experience. At least with Herb Taylor we have a decent backup LT if Albert can't come back right away. EDIT: Wasn't it said in training camp that Richardson is awesome at run blocking but he needs work at pass blocking? So shouldn't that make him a good fit at the RG spot? |
at least Herm gets it...you build your team from the trenches...
We have a great young OT and a great young DT...next year we can add to that with hopefully another OT and a DE... |

Hopefully Tank and Dorsey are as good as I think they will be... and McBride was the only DE all night that was getting any sort of pressure, albeit very little... |

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt |
I look at it this way ... the skill positions can't improve as quickly without a solid offensive line. The same thing applies to the LBs and DBs and the defensive line.
Last year, Herm fielded arguably the worst offensive line in the history of professional football ... and that was after having 2 years to evaluate. This year, on the offensive side of the ball, we've patched some holes and drafted a kid who's playing out of his traditional position. We've moved the Big Apple to RT and he's stated publicly it's not his forte. RG is still a question mark as is Center. Defensively, we've moved Hali to the right side - a position he's obviously uncomfortable in and we're playing a DT on the left side and hoping for the best. Tank and Turk are taking turns falling down which is good if they happen to do it on a quarterback. I don't see Herm's ability to create or commitment to field lines that allow us to progress in other areas with consistency. Do you? FAX |

I spent 4 days at training camp and watched Sippio every chance I got. I don't remember him dropping a pass. He seems to catch everything. They say he won't make the team because he is too slow. Parker was fast but he couldn't catch the ball. Sometimes you just have to move the chains. You need someone to go 5 yards and hang on to the ball in a crowd. You need someone that has a high probability for success when you really need it. They need Sippio. They can keep him and 4 rockets.

I don't care if he has the greatest hands in the world, if you can't separate at the NFL level you can't play.
What's the QB suppose to do throw it through the DB's chest? |
