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.

Cassel/Vrabel were acquired via trade.

Other than Goff the highest profile signing has been Bobby Engram.

Engram & Bisel will both improve this team and I do agree with Petro. Goff will help this team win football games if Herm would have signed some guys like Goff last season he probably still has a job instead of signing a guy like Adrian Jones who hadn't played in 4 years. Pioli is building this team beautifully

Exactly. I think the staff really dropped the ball in that regard.
There were several players that needed to be evaluated in real game situations that never got that chance.

I agree.

If he can find a veteran to help out at Right Tackle BEFORE the draft...
He can pretty much leave the offense alone (in FA I mean).
It'd be nice to maybe add a young guy at WR (like McDonald or Reggie Williams), but...
We can live without one.

Shaun McDonald does the same thing Bobby Engram does no need for 2 of the same thing.

Two of the three are shorter by an inch... and it could even be less than an inch for all we know... Is it really that big of a difference?

Yea the difference is they're actually good.

Haha remember Beisel the first time around here and how bad he sucked. I know hes a lot different of a player than he was when he was here the first time, and I also think that it was a bad fit for him because of the defensive culture and scheme. I hope he does well this time.

Yeah, but he's younger...

Honestly do you feel real comfortable at the WR position?
Bowe's the only guy I'm confident in.
Bradley did some great things here last year and would be the perfect #2 if he could stay healthy. Franklin's progress last year was a bit reeruned and he dealt with injuries too... Webb's never lived up to his potential. Engram's 36 and should only figure in as a slot guy.

You wouldn't wanna throw another guy into the mix?

That's not all there is to consider, no.
But when he's not a technician like Weigmann or a mauler like Grunhard that one inch makes a pretty big difference I think. Just my 2 cents.

I do feel a lot better about it than I did at the beginning of last year. Still some be be desired though.

Oh I'm not doubting that, I'm just making the point that people keep saying the reason Niswanger is bad is because hes too tall, yet they want to draft these guys who are the same size.

Mecca · 03-25-2009, 01:03 PM

Jeff Webb blows and will probably get cut...

We don't have good WR's but adding more blah guys isn't going to help the Chiefs in reality need another starter they have most of the backup roles filled.

It's definitely better than last year.
We didn't have Bradley to begin the 2008 season.

Guess you have to go back to the well in the Draft then...

Oh he's not bad because he's to tall, he's bad because he's a big guy with no strength that gets pushed around. He's basically a backup at best.
