Chiefs sign OL Goff
The Chiefs agreed to contract terms today with veteran offensive lineman Mike Goff. Goff has some versatility and could wind up starting for the Chiefs at center or right guard.

The 33-year-old Goff played 11 NFL seasons, the first six with Cincinnati and the last five with San Diego. He has been a starter for the past nine seasons.

He has the physical tools and the size. Just not the head for the game.

Doesn't Albert have a similar demeanor?

It's possible to develop intensity

Yep. Not necessarily lazy. He just doesn't have the fire in his belly. No mean streak. He's just too laid back.

Albert is more of a technician, but he's also a LT, not a guard.

You consider BRich too slow for RT?

Or I suppose that's where the killer instinct would be necessary.

I agree. We've been waiting for years for them to do something with the line. He's an effective, proven starter.

I think that BRich not having that mean streak hampers him as the RT, because typically your RT is you run blocker IIRC.

I think Niswanger's adequate at Center.
He's just not a long term solution there.
Give me Eric Wood or Alex Mack there for the future.
Add a Guard and a RT in the draft as well.

Micjones · 03-25-2009, 11:58 AM

Kevin Shaffer's still out there.

How solid would the line be if they added him to play Right Tackle?

He's a better run blocker than pass blocker

And prototypical RT size at 6-7 330

This was a good signing. Does anybody know what other teams were interested in Goff?

Right. Guards and RT's need to be a little more mean. A left tackle can get away with being a more cerebral player.

Get used to it, folks. It's all about character.

I totally agree, here's to hoping one of his coaches kicks his ass

I know these things arent gold but here's a scouting report
POSITIVES: Athletic blocker with outstanding size. Quick into blocks, powerful at the point, and moves opponents off the line. Moves well for such a large man and flashes surprising mobility. Slides out off the edge and does enough to protect the quarterback.s blindside. Fights with his hands and jolts opponents with good hand-punch or engulfs them altogether.
NEGATIVES: Bends at the waist, which adversely affects his balance. Does too much leaning on opponents rather than actual blocking. Must slim down and better condition himself.

ANALYSIS: When focused on his game, Richardson is a dominant blocker with a variety of skills. All too often he got by with his natural skills at Clemson, so he never took his game to another level. Close to being labeled as an underachiever, Richardson must start to live up to expectations and play to his potential.

It's not like BigMac is the epitome of killer instinct either lol

I wonder if this is because Waters will be gone soon?
