He's only been targetted six times and caught three of them. Further, he's only had seven run attempts. Obviously the coaches aren't utilizing him how you EXPECTED. He's being used as a lead-blocker, and he's good at it. Basing your disappointment on a 2.1 ypc stat based on a sample size of seven runs is reerunED.

Or Gregg. Maybe not what we hoped but I don't see Powe out there

Honestly, I don't mind that Powe isn't out there. I think Amon Gordon has played surprisingly well.

I was sure the coaching staff checked with chiefsplanet every week before deciding the inactives each week. Bummer to hear that's not true. My guess is if he's still inactive because he's not ready to get on the field yet.

Dude, he hasn't been inactive since Buffalo. He's just not on the field except as a fill-in for Albert or Richardson, both of whom have been relatively healthy.

If he's not on the field its because he's not ready except as an emergency. I can't believe that if Gaither is up to it physically that he could be behind Richardson who has been horrible every week.

I am fairly confident he failed his physical due to a lack of heart.

They arent going to plug in Gaither ALOT unless someone gets hurt. They dont want to put to much on him because of the issues he has had with his back. I think they want to just bring him on slowly, let his back get stronger and stronger and hope that eventually his back problems will be an issue of the past.

At least thats how i think they are doing it. I know HE cannot be worse then Richardson, so for me, its the only reasonable explanation.

Haley also said today that Gaither can play both left and right tackle now. #chiefs

Gaither better be playing RT. Richardson protecting Palko's blindside is going to get him killed.

He may not be ready to go a full NFL season, but this is a low risk high reward kind of thing. If he doesn't get healthy, so what, you have a backup who can play in spots, you aren't out a thing. If he does get healthy though, you've got an important piece of the puzzle and won't have to draft one. Why rush him back and screw that up?

Its hard to consider logic while dealing with the Chiefs. I mean look @ the QB position.

I'm thinking this is the week he starts at RT.

Agree. He'd better, or Palko will be running for his life every single play.
