Conley runs with 1st with Wilson hurt
 

Chris Conley - WR - Chiefs
Chiefs third-round WR Chris Conley ran with the starting offense at Monday's practice.
With Albert Wilson (shoulder) hurt, Conley is getting his chance to run opposite Jeremy Maclin. Before Wilson even got hurt last week, he was having a really quiet camp and preseason while Conley caught 3-of-5 targets for 30 yards in his first action of the preseason over the weekend. Wilson has speed, but isn't very big. Conley (6'3/205) was a draftnik favorite as a metrics freak with 4.35 wheels, 45-inch vertical, and 11-foot-7 broad jump. He's in the mix for No. 2 duties.

The sooner Conley plays the better. He has more potential than Wilson.

They both are young and have tremendous talent. I think Wilson has more to offer

Conley plays slower than i thought he would. My expectations have been tempered a bit.

Meh, not really he just has a lot on his plate especially missing quite a few practices.

Well yes. You do play a lot slower when you are thinking as opposed to just flowing. Huge adjustment to the NFL and even bigger to an Andy Reid offense.

You watch your mouth PIGGY

That's why all these rookies are hesitant at times. They're thinking mostly instead of just reacting and playing football. There's definitely an adjustment period. Conley is smart enough and has the skills to have a good rookie season in my mind. I'm really high on this kids potential.

So basically if Maclin gets hurt, we are ****ed.

Can't be Conley. Offense is too complex. Must've been Avant.

Would be a good joke if Avant doesn't also get regular play with the ones anyway.

Good job, Good effort though.

Not what i meant. I mean he's a slower twitch athlete than i thought. He moves like a heavier receiver.

Fair enough.

That'll change when DAT gets back.

He's a strider.

Plus he's like 6 3. Those guys don't ever seem to look fast
