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.

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?

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.

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.

The Chiefs offense under Vermeil and Saunders (and Mike Solari) was fully capable of developing offensive lineman? That's not the issue.

The Chiefs scouting and drafting under Vermeil was simply awful. Without a doubt, the worst period in the history of the franchise.

If the "veteran leadership" is comprised of people like Willie Roaf and Will Shields, I'd say those are fine mentors.

If your "veteran leadership" is Sackintosh, Jones and the 'Wanger, not so much.

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.

Albert, Niswanger & Taylor all saw a considerable amount of time. Sackintosh was another "old timer" signed by Carl that sucked. Alias Smith & Jones are both fairly young but they ****ing blow.

Keeping Weigeman around at age 36 wouldn't have exactly solved the offensive line woes.

The Chiefs failed to draft any offensive lineman one day one for nearly a decade. That's how the line came to suck.

Bringing in some established guys to bridge the gap between old and new is a sound move. However, like you said in subsequent posts, you absolutely HAVE to draft well so that you have guys that can step in when the old guys are no longer useful.

I disagree about the physical aspect.

The scouting report posted earlier in this thread on him agrees with me.

His problem is motivation.

Richardson apparently graduated high school in 3 years, though I couldn't find his Wonderlic score.

He only ran a 5.45 forty at the combine. I don't think that's really all that relevant for a right tackle.

It just seems like he doesn't "love" the game. He's got all the tools to be a successful NFL tackle, if not an outstanding right tackle.

He isn't fast, but he has relatively quick feet.

AdnI'd forgotten about how well he did acdemically.

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

And then look how he changes targets and blocks multiple people on the same play

The one at 2:16 was the best block in the video. Smashed that guy

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...

Jethopper · 03-25-2009, 03:55 PM

Barry Richardson does not have the footwork to play RT in the NFL.
