Chiefs From PFW.... - Page 2

DTLB58 · 01-13-2013, 10:45 AM

• The early rumblings out of Kansas City are that Andy Reid will make the offensive line a priority this offseason, which likely means that OLT Branden Albert could be receiving a strong offer or that he could be franchised to protect the Chiefs from losing him. It's unlikely that WR Dwayne Bowe would be tagged a second straight year, but he could return if the price is right. Reid likes offense and knows he needs receivers to thrive.

Anybody else see the benefit of cutting Albert and spending the #1 overall pick on another LT? Not me. So if these guys are right, this is good news. Hope we keep him and move forward to other positions.

Brandon Albert is a top 5 LT in the NFL. Why this idea to move him to guard has lingered is beyond me.

Can Joeckel play QB? If not, everyone and their mothers need to

WHY THE **** WOULD YOU MOVE HIM TO ****ING GUARD!?

So much stupidity around here lately.

LAChieffan is just trolling, and Como is just a ****ing idiot.

This all day, everyday forever !

That smells to me like media chatter, not any info from inside the organization.

I get so sick and tired of the media re-reporting other media speculation.

It just makes no damn sense to let a good player like Albert walk only to replace him with a top pick. Same story goes for Bowe.

That is how bad teams get worse - letting the good players they already have get away. The point of building through the draft is to actually build. You can't add a second story if you're constantly redoing your foundation.

We need to use free agency to get better this year - not worse. Resign Albert, Bowe, and Colquitt, sign Jairus Byrd, a MLB (Anthony Spencer already knows the Ryan 3-4, if that's what we run). There are also multiple CB free agents, though drafting one in the second round might be the thing to do.

If we DO let Albert go, it better be because we are signing Clady or Jake Long.

No one could stop our run game this year as is for the most part. Adding Jennings and keeping Bowe would be huge, but one problem with your scenario............................who in the heck is gonna throw them the ball? We have the #1 pick for a reason and it is not because of the play of Albert.

Good thing it was free then uh?

Yep. And even with Stephenson in the game, we still were able to run fairly well. O-line is not a huge need. Just resign Albert.

Then get a QB who can keep the defense playing honest.

I'd be shocked if he went anywhere. Both the Packers guy and the Eagles guy knows how important a line is.

What about Bowe? I know we could and should draft a WR in the draft but our new QB is gonna need a vet.

Brandon Albert was a top 10 LT in the NFL (top 5 is overstating it, IMO).

However, we do have to deal with the very real concern that his back may/may not be a lingering problem. More O-linemen have been felled by back issues than any other injury. These are huge men that are putting a lot of strain on those disks and once the back starts to go, it tends to get worse quickly.

Geno Smith is absolutely still your guy, but be careful with deciding we have LT locked up for the next 5-6 years.

Albert's probably a guy you should tag and not extend long-term, to be honest. We need to see if he can come back next season and put those back issues behind him.

Bowe, OTOH, is durable as hell and has already played under the tag once. He should get the long-term deal and Albert should get the tag.
