Lilja loves him some Chiefs
New Chief Lilja Credits Pioli And Haley As Part Of The Reason For Signing
by Joel Thorman on Apr 15, 2010 10:22 AM PDT in 2010 Campaign New Kansas City Chiefs G Ryan Lilja said he has a soft spot in his heart for the Chiefs because he's been a fan his entire life. Growing up in the area, he spent one offseason with the Chiefs before being claimed by the Colts and heading to Indianapolis. When he got another shot to sign with the Chiefs, he took it. But it wasn't just because this was his hometown. It was also because of where he feels GM Scott Pioli and coach Todd Haley are leading the team. "That was huge," he said of Pioli and Haley's influence. "Like you said," he continued, "there's a lot of things about being back here and playing for this team that were appealing to me because I grew up here. But from a purely objective standpoint, coming in and meeting with those guys and seeing what they've done, their philosophies and what they're doing to make this a better team - from the Xs and Ozs side, that's impressive. "It got me real excited." Still, though, it probably didn't hurt that it those guys worked in Kansas City. "I got a big place in my heart for the Chiefs. I've been a fan my whole life." |

I wish someone would confirm where they plan to play him on the line.
It seems odd that they'd put him at right guard considering he's only 290 pounds and was a poor run blocker in Indy. |

I asked his cousin to ask him that. But I haven't seen him since I asked. Hopefully I'll find out this weekend...

One time, when the Chiefs played the Colts at Arrowhead, a drunk Chiefs fan pushed his 50+ year old mother down near a concession line for wearing his Colts jersey.

imo He will be at RG unless they plan on cutting/trading Waters
i would think that the whole "moving waters to center" ended as soon as wiegmann signed.

I figured they would move Waters to RG since he's not very fast anymore and he's bigger that Lilja.

I bet there's going to be an open competition at LG between Waters and Lilja, and at RG between Niswanger and Ndukwe, who I think could actually be a pretty decent guard.
