PFT take on Albert and his twitter account
Branden Albert bids farewell to Twitter
Posted by Mike Florio on March 7, 2013, 8:58 AM EST It came with much less fanfare than Arian Foster’s recent exit from the 140-character social media platform. But in the end the result was the same. Chiefs left tackle Branden Albert has abandoned Twitter. The pulling of the plug came in the hours after Albert expressed defiance regarding the possibility of moving to right tackle, following the unexpected release of starter Eric Winston. Starting with “nope” regarding the possibility of moving to “you damn right” regarding his reluctance to be anything other than a left tackle, Albert drew a clear, deep line in the sand. Thus, as of this posting, and as several of you have pointed out, Albert’s page is completely gone. Chances are that Albert’s agent contacted the player with something along the lines of “what in the hell are you doing?” before explaining that Albert was setting the stage for either looking weak by later going along with whatever the coaching staff tells him to do or engaging in conduct detrimental to the team by refusing to follow orders. There’s also a chance that, if Albert doesn’t sign his one-year franchise tender, the Chiefs will eventually rescind it. Coach Andy Reid did that twice in Philly, with defensive tackle Corey Simon in 2005 and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter three years before that. If the tag is removed at any time after the draft, Albert will have a hard time getting paid a lot of money to play any position on the football field in 2013. So, basically, the social-media monster known meekly as Twitter has claimed another victim. Like the rest of us, Albert knew the risks. And yet all too many of us eventually give in to the impulses that result in 140 or fewer characters we’ll never be able to fully live down |
Good job Chiefsplanet, you dicks.

LMAO

This is what happens when you get bombarded by fans asking the same stupid ****ing question over and over again.
|
On the things I give a **** about, Albert pulling his Twitter account is near the bottom.
|
Twitter=bad

Could you imagine if ChiefsandOsfan had to quit twitter due to work?

This is a good thing imo, sometimes, having an easily accessible platform for your every thought isnt a good thing.
|
the dude is coming apart over this shit
|
He loses millions if he becomes a rt I don't blame him for saying he's not moving to rt or guard. From 9 million to 4-5. While its a lot of money either way u gotta go with the 9. Plus he's a really good LT.

Can't believe they are actually going to take Jokell
|
If the Chiefs take Joeckel, it is effectively using the first overall pick to improve the RT position. There is no way.
|
NFL Network's Rappaport just said the Chiefs view Albert as a LT and dont plan on switching him. He went on to say Reid values RT as high as LT and wouldnt shy away from drafting Joeckel and starting him at RT.
|
No wonder I never will go on Twitter! As really prefer FB. Oh well try FB Albert! It is a lot better!
|
Good for him. Twitter is lame and nothing good ever comes out of professional athletes using it.
|
Albert has been a very good Chief.
Leave him the F alone. |
Twitter seems like a marvelous venue to get athletes into really big trouble. If I were a famous person I would avoid it like an aids contamination.

The problem with this kind of thing is that people fail to realize that when you say something on Twitter, or Facebook, its just like saying it in the same room as whoever reads it.
You have to own your words. |

Lost a lot of respect for Branden Albert with that tweet. Saw it last night. The only reason BA wants to stay at left tackle is because of the almighty $$$$. You have a player off of a 2-14 team demanding he play a certain position??
The bottom line? While Albert is not the overall issue, he is a part of it. The Chiefs are 25-55 with Branden Albert at left tackle. |

I think Albert is a decent left tackle. But put it into prospective here. He's not the second coming of Willie Roaf. Posted via Mobile Device |

This is really the only place that pimps Geno Smith at #1 like it's a sure no brainer #1 overall selection. |

One things for sure though....Geno Smith isn't worth a #1 overall selection. Alex Smith will be the starter of this team whether people agree w/ it or not and Geno Smith won't be on this team and people should STFU about it. |

He should never engage ninety-five percent of Chiefs Fans; they're dumb.

K.C. Chiefs eye extension for LT Branden Albert
By Kevin Patra NFL.com Published: March 8, 2013 at 06:25 a.m. Updated: March 8, 2013 at 07:50 a.m. When the Kansas City Chiefs cut right tackle Eric Winston on Wednesday, almost everyone assumed it signaled a plan to draft a left tackle with the No. 1 overall selection in April's NFL Draft -- even Branden Albert. Albert, the incumbent left tackle, tweeted Wednesday he had zero interested in playing anywhere else on the line (he has since deactivated his Twitter account). It turns out he might have jumped the gun with his assumption. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the Chiefs are continuing to work out a long-term deal with the franchise-tagged Albert on the assumption he will be their left tackle of the future. The Chiefs are still interested in drafting a tackle to fill the right side of the line. Andy Reid values right and left tackle similarly, so the line of thinking follows that the Chiefs could draft either Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher -- the two highest-rated offensive tackles, according to NFl Network draft expert Mike Mayock -- and slide either of them in at right tackle. With the rookie wage scale, the Chiefs could be replacing Winston with a younger, less-expensive player. Scouts will get another look at Joeckel at Texas A&M's pro day today, and the Chiefs might be deciphering whether he can play both sides of the offensive line. Follow Kevin Patra on Twitter @kpatra. |

For example, you don't necessarily want the same offensive line for a power running attack offense as you would for a run and shoot offense. Even if it worked for the former, you might want to change it if you're going to implement the latter. All the parts should be built to support the scheme. |
I am going to assume TRR was heavily medicated while posting in this thread.

Little surprising but the #Chiefs don't have a strong contingent at A&M this morning. Possible they'll have a private workout with Joeckel Retweeted by Arrowhead Pride |
