Chiefs Herb Taylor will start next season. But where? - Page 2

Direckshun · 12-01-2008, 07:34 AM

He played very well at LT in the preseason.

But he's only played "pretty good" since, and it's not hard to see why.

He's stepped in to play LT, RT, and RG at multiple points this season. We're asking Herb Taylor to back up our entire line.

Which tells me, of course, that the Chiefs really want this guy on the field. But where have you noticed him playing best?

I think he can excel at RT, but he didn't play too bad inside for the couple series he was in at RG yesterday.

McIntosh sucks as a run blocker, his natural position is left tackle. Stick his ass there as a backup to Albert.

Niswanger was more valuable to this team at Right Guard.
He should be moved back there.

Heh. I might, if it goes down like that. Or at the very least, drop a steaming pile of poo on Carl's car.

I think we're in good shape (young, but definitely in the top ten in points and yards with the group we've got) on Offense except for RT. Have no problems with Taylor at RG but would draft a RT.

Where in the hell is Barry Richardson to fill in at RT?

Good question. What happened to him? I thought he was injured or something. Maybe he just sucks? Dunno.

Damn that kind of blows, glad we got him in the 7th but I had hopes that he would pan out to be a steal at the latter part of the draft. Maybe he gets his chance further down the road at something.

Taylor's really not suited for right tackle.

He's only 6'3 and is more of a finesse blocker. The right tackle should be a road grader.

I agree that Taylor has too much talent to be wasting on the bench but with his body and height, he'd be perfect at center.

Richardson was a 6th round pick. You can't expect a 6th round talent to become an immediate starter. Late round picks are generally developmental players and going as late as he did, the Chiefs can only hope that he'll be ready for backup and/or spot duty at some point during his third year.

His scouting report was mixed so I don't expect much from him.

doesn't mean Richardson won't work out ....... just may take awhile

who can come off the bench
and play all the postions and have little drop in play
