PBJ PBJ PBJ

Wrong Sammy, same effect. Wish him well, he did okaaaaaaay for us.

this is the official one

wow. three threads. sammy must have really been released. oh well.

i'm glad we have a dedicated media monitoring dept.

Great....kiss the Super Bowl goodbye this year.

i won't believe it till I read it in the premium board.

Now turn to Page, 44

Carl should have paid him the $500.

party at the moontower!!!!

I will never forget this hit to end the game vs St. Louis.

I always liked Sammy Knight.

Joey always liked Sammy Knight

converting to youth in an offseason

Sammy gave us steady if unspectacular play & he is a solid pro IMO, but i think i will manage to sleep tonight.

Bring on the youth.

Our overall team speed just increased by a LARGE margin.

are we still taking donations for the ty law cleat fund?

This probably means we'll be looking for two backup safeties...maybe Maxey.

Let's make Ty Law our starting safety, move the bonecrusher to LB, and draft a starting CB.

Should have never been signed. Slow old loser.

We could just draft Brandon Meriweather who is basically perfect for this defense.

There's always that. Too bad we cut Kyle Turley. We could have been a helmet-wielding force this year.

ROFL

LOL hey atleast Merriweather wasn't the guy wielding the helmet in the brawl.

I expect him to drop somewhat from that though so if the 1st 2 picks for the Chiefs were Jarrett and Merriweather I'd be pretty happy.

Do you really think Merriweather will last until the Chiefs second round pick?

I think it's possible, he does have some character questions. Someone is going to net 1st round talents in the middle rounds with guys like Merriweather and Marcus Thomas.

yeah i agree. he was ok, but not great. it would have been nice to keep him for depth just in case of injury.

This is a huge bummer for me. I liked watching Sammy hit people. It's sated only by my visions of watching Pollard hit people.

When we got Sammy and Surtain,I thought had a way better year than Patrick did.

Never had a problem with Knight. I always thought he was solid and a damn good tackler.

Time for the young guys to shine.

Sammy was a good player for us...the fact that he's being released must mean Pollard's ready to get CRUNK.

Mecca I don't know who Meriweather is. If you get a chance drop me some knowledge.

He's from Miami......he's essentially a pefect fit as a FS in a cover 2.

Herm's making room for Bartee to start!

:thumb:



:)

Me neither

He went to USC so he won't have a problem finding a job.

He also has horrible character issues.

yikes, do we really want pacman junior? I guess if herm has a sit down with him and gets a good feel that he doesn't have the character flaw this appears to be, then ok, but damn I hate reading that stuff.



Sorry to see Knight go, thought he was a solid player, happy to see us get younger too, Damn I love/hate this game......

So this Meriweather is a FS? Carl's quesiton is Can he play Corner?

Hmmm, you're smarter than your avatar looks. Intriguing.

Goodbye Sammy, hope you find success in your endeavors in the NFC.

Out with the old:

We cut the wrong guy. Should've lynched Wesley.

Hopefully Wesley will be gone during training camp.

I 100% agree that Wesley should of been cut instead of Knight. But, Knight wasn't all that great either?

I say bring on the bonecrusher baby! Sweet, it's Pollard time!

I think Pollard is going to be a STAR in this league.

I really do.

He's a playmaker. One of the best draft picks we've had.

I loved the way he played on special teams last year. The thing I noticed about him is he plays with so much enegry, so much drive, so much passion, so much intensity and emotion, you name it! that the moment he steps on the field I feel as if he lifts up the team.

We needs more guys like him. I just hope that he can become a good safety.

Bonecrusher should be the next great young player on our defense like Jared Allen. I'm totally cool lining up with Boone, Hali & Allen on the line, Edwards, Harris, and Johnson at LB, Surtain, Page, Pollard & Law at DB, just draft me a DT to start before round 3.

i'm so pleased that herm's first draft here turned out well, 3 solid players with high potential(a few more possible)

its hard to imagine, but what if we do as well this draft?

i'd like pollard to start this year as well, but don't you think page is the likely one based on playtime last year?

Pollard starts...print 'em

I thought Sammy was better than average. He could hit and make tackles. Something 2/3 of the team doesn't know how to do.

This move looks stupid when Wesley, Sims, Hicks and Bell are still on the team.:shake:

Gunther's great grocery list of impact players is getting smaller.

This years draft has a lot of big names at FS, but SS isn't as good. KC needs a SS unless they think Pollard improved conserably in the offseason.

RIP Sammy HELLO Crusher

Pollard and Page are ready to play.

I think there could be some truth to that. He is well rested.

I really like Sammy Knight. He brought a veteran leadership to our secondary. But at the same time I am glad that he was released. We have younger, faster safeties and at this point, there is no reason to not let them play.

Next thing I want to see is the release of Wesley and Hicks.

Pollard needs to step it up at SS and Page needs to tackle.

Page actually worries me a bunch. Great instincts but his tackling is atrocious. If you don't hit coming out of college, you usually don't improve much in that area in the Pros.

Just for the record, NBC reported last night that Wesley told them that he was not returning.

Just watched it again, reported that the Chiefs are shopping Wesley to Bears, Vikings and Packers.

Wesley told the source that he "would not" play for the Chiefs next season.

Woo hoo!! :rockon: PBJ

Yep. Got the gif someone built on here. And the game on tape.

I'll bet Kevin Curtis remembers Knight too...maybe not the hit. :D

Pollard didn't get a whole lot of chances to show anything. But it's obvious he plays with fire and determination, and he's obviously athletic. It's time to throw him into the fire.

And yes, Page showed some poor tackling technique. He also showed he was ALOT better in pass coverage than what we're used to seeing from our safeties.
