Chiefs 9-1 Andy Reid Q&A OL/TE notes - Page 7

booger · 09-01-2015, 10:49 PM

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Rams would be important for those Chiefs still fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster.
"Most of those guys that were on the fence are going to get an opportunity to play,” he said. “We'll go through and evaluate it. There are some spots there that are very important in the reps that these guys get in our evaluation."

Reid said that it’s likely tight end Demetrius Harris will see his first action since last year against the Rams.

"There's a good chance,” he said. “I kind of want to go back and see how he feels after today. If he does it won't be a ton, but there's a chance he plays Thursday."

Reid said that offensive lineman Zach Fulton would take snaps at center on Thursday.

"I'm going to get him a few reps this game,” he said. “Right now I feel pretty comfortable about it unless something changes in the game. I think he needs that work. I think that will be good for him."

Forgot about Fulton at C. Obviously they're comfortable enough with him in practice to play there but it will be nice to see him get time there against the Rams. It's interesting, to me at least, because as the cuts approach and depending on how well he looks I think it's possible they cut Kush. If Allen and Fulton can play C there's no need to Kush to be on the 45 man game day roster. They take the 5 starters and 2 backups. Backing up C only won't get you on the game day roster. Depending how many they keep it might push Kush off the roster...might.

I have two decently reliable sources that have reiterated your thought above. From what they tell me, Kush is a very hard worker in the weight room and on the practice field. However, he struggles immensely in the classroom. They say he struggles to grasp new offensive concepts and continues to make mental errors after being coached on inconsistencies time and again. There is a trust issue with coaches that escalated this offseason as he continued down the same path even though the starting job was there for the taking.

Really interested to find out how they feel about Kush.

Can't be good. He still didn't even get preseason snaps at G to provide a chance to see any potential versatility. Munyer played both G spots and C. He can spend time on the PS and be groomed for a future interior swing position. From the preseason snaps it looks like he's valued more than kush

The minute I read Reid's presser transcript the other day I figured Kush was pretty well SOL

I'm not sure what to make of Reid's comments today on Allen:

On the state of tackles Jeff Allen (knee) and Eric Fisher (ankle): “I think Allen's is worse than his, so I can't tell you about Allen. But I think Fish will be back."

Injury wise and chances to play in Week 1.

I'll rape myself with a chainsaw if we cut Allen. People wanting him to get the ax are ****ing stupid.

I agree. At worst, he's an average NFL linemen. He's had a couple injuries, but he hasn't worn out his welcome just yet.

Basically the OL gonna be a mess all year. Not quite as messy as a half rack of kc BBQ ribs but durn close. Going to throw A LOT of shorts slants, xing routes and rb check downs to compensate.

Speak for your own, putrid shithole, Fart.

The line will be serviceable and possibly ranked mid-tier by the middle of the stretch.

No worries on that front.

I have no emotional investment in LDT.

I just watched the O-Line in the first 3 preseason games and saw the raw potential, and read the tea leaves.

I just think Andy wants to fast track his development.

Andy likes beginning his sentences w/ 'Listen' or 'Look' - not sure why - but it's very effective - I really hone in when he does that in interviews.
