Casey Wiegmann

B_Ambuehl · 02-05-2007, 02:55 PM

What's all this stuff about Wiegmann being let go, replaced, changing positions?

How does crap like this get started?

Wiegmann was the first offensive player Herm talked to when he became head coach because he knew how under-rated he is.

This guy is one of the best centers in the NFL year in and year out.

Not for the Sytem the Chiefs are running now. He gets thrown around like a rag doll.

I have a ton of respect for Casey, came over as a totally unheralded Bears bench warmer & played at an All-Pro level for a long time as an undersized Stepnoski type.

Having said that, he's getting a bit long in the tooth & consistently struggles with powerhouse DT's & NG's. That doesnt bode well for him on a team going to a smash mouth, ball control style.

Maybe its time to look to the future???

He was better as a pulling center in Vermeil's system.

**petegz28** · 02-05-2007, 03:03 PM

I agree great for Vermeil..not suited for Edwards. He is not a power blocker.

Good luck, Casey .

Trade him for a 2nd round draft pick. I am sure you can convince NE to do it.

B_Ambuehl · 02-05-2007, 03:40 PM

Somebody show me where a coach or player (not an idiot analyst) has said or hinted that Wiegmann is not suited for "Herm's system?"

CoMoChief · 02-05-2007, 03:42 PM

I havent heard anything about us letting him go.

tk13 · 02-05-2007, 03:44 PM

I've seen more than one person on here hint that he may retire sooner than people realize.

nychief · 02-05-2007, 03:47 PM

the only thing I ever read about was that Casey was thinking about retiring.

Perhaps they want Rudy Niswanger, 6-5 300, to take over.

I love Casey, but if we insist on running up the ass of the LG, C, and RG, we need someone a lot bigger.

Casey is a pretty cool guy. He is not that big though. First time I met him, I would not have guessed he was a football player. Looked more like a linebacker. I think he is dating one of my ex girlfriends Danni, right now-lol

A Linebacker isn't a football player ?

Nobody knows when somebody could hang it up. Roaf was supposedly locked up for the season and he suddenly retired. Look at Favre. He has thought about retiring since 1997. You never know with football players
