People said the same thing about Sam Baker last year...

Good signing. I like Mike Goff. tough as nails, good run blocker, and another good veteran added to the team. Nice. I like. To make things better, Oline is improving.

journeyscarab · 03-25-2009, 03:06 PM

on nfl.com it says he may start at center or right guard

You absolute cannot build an OL on day one picks.

You have to get by with TWO day one picks AT MOST. One (LT) is most ideal and the most realistic. You can get by later in the draft at every other position.

The problem with the Chiefs is that they simply haven't thrown many picks period at the OL. The two we have given time to in the past few years have been Taylor and Richardson, and Taylor has promise to be a good LT backup and maybe more depending on our offense, and Richardson may be a solid OG.

Richardson has the ideal size and strength to be a dominant right tackle.

All he's missing is a desire to play football.

I hear that point made quite a bit about him.

Honestly, I just think he's a bit slow.

I think Richardson would be a solid OG in a power running offense, which I doubt we're going to. Instead, I believe we're going to a quicker, shotgun type offense, where Taylor might be more at home.

Taylor is not suited for the right side. Too short, not strong enough and just flat out wrong.

As for Richardson, are you saying he's slow in terms of speed or that he ranks right up with Roy, Jr. in terms of intelligence?

Either.

I really love how the people that put that Mack highlight film together felt the need to put a little arrow in pre-snap.

How could we have ever spotted the center otherwise?

Shaffer's gone per rotoworld.

Bears sign OT Kevin Shaffer to three-yr deal

Bears agreed to terms with OT Kevin Shaffer on a three-year contract.

A 47-game starter for Cleveland from 2006-2008, Shaffer has been durable throughout his career and can play both tackle spots. His strength is in the run game, making Shaffer a good fit in Chicago. He will likely be penciled in at swing tackle behind LT Chris Williams and RT Frank Omiyale for now.

Damn, damn, damn...

Ah well... Who's left? Pace?

Richardson is one of those guys that got by his entire life relying on his physical tools. Great size and good quickness, but he needs to work at it and learn some technique
as others have said he needs to play with better intensity too

Mecca · 03-25-2009, 03:39 PM

Guys like Barry Richardson are who you take late round shots on, he started over 40 games in the ACC on a team that got significantly worse the year after he was gone...
