Rodney Hudson
 

Should be our starting LG going forward.

We had a yard to three yards of push on the Steeler DL all day.

Part of this, I absolutely have to believe, was thanks to Hudson's great work.

He was great in pass defense, good in the run game against one of the league's best, and excellent at the second level.

We got a winner there. I don't even know if I'd move him to center when it's all said and done.

You may be right, but who do we get to replace Weigman?

He looked good tonight, as did most of the rest of the OL.

Draft

I don't pretend to know where the free agency market is.

This is going to be completely assinine but maybe Darryl Harris can come along.

I would rather move Albert to LG and Hudson to C and use a pick on a tackle instead of one on a tackle and center.

hudson and assowhatever are balls


and albert locked his corner down all night

Yeah Rodney actually looked pretty good, and he seemed to really know what he was doing, and I didn't see him lost from what I could tell. I'd still rather see him as our COTF.

So you'd rather look for 2 tackles?

jesus facepalm

Hudson looks like a keeper. Within the next two years we still need to pick up two quality starting OL.

We all know lilja will be back in there as soon as he is ready

I really like that guy. I hope to see him planting some quarterbacks next year.

FAX

I hope you have Hudson and Houston confused.

I'd like us to give Rodney a chance at center. Guards are usually easier to come by.

But after tonight's performance...

Well I guess I am still hoping they could put Gaither at RT even though that may not ever happen.

If you could promise me Albert plays like this all the time then ok lets leave him there. Lets not pretend like he hasn't had a lot of really bad days pass blocking at LT. He may be a decent LT but having a great one would be better, especially when I think Albert would be a great LG.

Gaither is on a 1 year contract and cant even get on the field and we have Richardson at RT.

He wont be here.

Naw man, if we had a REAL LT, they'd have won that game. Give Falco 10 seconds on that last throw and it's a TD. 5 straight picks on OL next year :thumb:

albert has been very good this year, period...he has not had 'a lot of really bad days pass blocking'...that's a zombie lie

people don't have a damn clue...he's a quality starting LT and more than good enough for a good QB...

Hurrrr he's no Willie Roaf Durrrrr *drool drops to floor

Wasn't saying just this season. If you or the Chiefs want to keep Albert at LT thats not something I am going to fight over. I like the guy overall I just don't think he has been as solid as you are saying.

Of all the problems on our O-line, while he might not be great, Brandon Albert is the least of our problems.

Seriously that guy can't get any love. Some people talk about moving him every year when he's perfectly fine at LT.

Too many other holes to also throw in needing a LT. RT & Center and a slew of other positions on the team first.

He's no Herb
but he'll do

I love what he have in Asamoah and Hudson.

I say keep Hudson in at G for the rest of the year. He can always prepare to be our starting center next year. I also think that if you are one of those who want the Chiefs to draft a QB in round one, you better be fine with Albert at LT. We can grab a RT in the 2nd round if we want.

If we are drafting around 5....

1) RG3, QB
2) Brewster, C
3) Potter, OT

Sounds like a plan to me.

I am fine with that. I am not saying I hate Albert at LT and I certainly would take the QB in the first round over a LT by a landslide.

If we can land a stud center in the draft our line is going to be solid for years to come.

Hudson's flexibility will let us grab a center or guard in the first three rounds.

Every part of this team sucks a dick!

You are ****ing reeruned.

This team sucks dick because...

1. We have not had a QB all year.
2. Big Time Injuries
3. Tough Schedule
4. We play up or down to the level of our competition (coaching)

Damn. I guess I am the only one that still thinks Albert is a better LG. So be it.

It's possible he is. We don't know. I think what you're missing is what factors in if you were to move him.

- That means we then spent a 1st on a Guard. Waste.
- We have to then look for a LT. Typically the good ones are drafted in the first.
- All of a sudden we're looking for two Tackles going into next year when RT is far worse shape.
- LT is simply very, very low in our list of needs.

A move like that I think would be only for a team that is so loaded with talent, they could afford to make the move. We obviously cannot.

I agree with all those points. This certainly isn't a subject I am going to debate. I like Albert. I think we could still do a little better at LT but the point of priorities is a very good one. I wouldn't want us wasting a high pick on a LT, especially with our QB situation.

I spending $ on a RT in FA if possible. Having 3 players in their 1st-3rd years isn't great if you are planning to put a young QB back there, although that in itself might be a pipe-dream.

How many times was farm fish sacked

Gaither, Albert, Hudson, Asamoah, RT from either FA or draft...

I believe that Gaither is healthy enough. If you've payed attention to opponents field goal attempts, he is the middle man trying to block the kick, b/c he's ****ing huge. He has been stepping on the back of the longsnapper and trying his ass off to get in there to block the kick. You don't do that if you are really worried about your back, and you DEFINITELY don't ask someone with back problems to do something like that. Especially beings he's come down face first a few times.

I think, beings they had a shortened offseason, Haley didn't want wholesale change. You can see that in our draft as well. We've asked most up until this year, to play a large role and help, this year, not so much. Gaither had no offseason, so sign him for a year, an extended tryout, give him that full year to learn the playbook, then make the switch next year. Got to realize putting him at LT affects Albert too. So not only would Gaither have had to learn the entire offense in this short offseason, but Albert would have had to also.

Next year, we have a guy who had a whole year to learn, and a full offseason to get reps and make the offense second nature.

I have to believe this is true, it's my only hope we don't draft a LT #1 overall. This could be their plan and they still draft a RT #1 overall, wouldn't that be the shits? I guess it would be a solid OL though huh?

Moving Albert to left guard is ****ing stupid. Gaither isn't the answer either you morons at either positon. If he was they would have him in there or mainly Baltimore wouldn't have cut him.

We need to draft a center preferably Michael Brewster from Ohio State. Right tackle I have no clue - Riley Rieff from Iowa would be good if we went the true fan route but other than sign a free agent or find something in the draft. In all honesty its not that big of a deal as Chiefs fans make it out to be.

You don't think that RT is an issue that needs to be looked at? There certainly are ways of dealing with it, especially since RT doesn't need to be done with a 1st round pick and we also have money, but I would say its something we need to fix.

Gaither may not be the answer but teams have cut players that end up working out other places so saying that since he was cut he won't work is not entirely true. The Chiefs also play Thomas Jones so the idea that them not playing somebody proves their worth or lack-there-of is also not a lock.

The Chiefs should draft a center, a year after they drafted a center (Hudson) in the second round of the draft?

Yes that is a brilliant strategy, dumbshit.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

Umm, you are the dumbshit. Hudson was drafted to play C, but mostly played G in college. He'll be very solid at either position.

I want to see him against a more physical DL.

Moving Albert is ****ing stupid. Dont fix something thats not BROKEN

He was awesome in his one (non)play appearance last night!

He looked pretty salty.

Albert is not the issue on this line. It is Lilja who needs to be replaced (hopefully with Hudson), Weigman, and Richardson. What will it take for people to stop this yearly nonsense of drafting a LT and moving Albert to guard?

Wiegmann will retire or not get re-signed. Hudson will start at C next year.

Just think of how good we'd be if we had drafted Bulaga last year.

Josh Looney ‏ @JoshLooney Close
Pioli: Rodney Hudson is ready to be a starter at center or guard. #Chiefs

Thank you captain obvious.

****ing Looney.

Someone please ask Looney if Houston is ready to beat out Studebaker and start week 1.

Didn't they already announce him as a starter?

If Hudson is ready for guard or center then he should start at center.

Much harder to find a center

umm ... wasn't Houston already the full time guy at the end of last year.

I think that was his point.
