Chiefs 9-1 Andy Reid Q&A OL/TE notes - Page 3

booger · 09-01-2015, 10:49 PM

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Rams would be important for those Chiefs still fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster.
"Most of those guys that were on the fence are going to get an opportunity to play,” he said. “We'll go through and evaluate it. There are some spots there that are very important in the reps that these guys get in our evaluation."

Reid said that it’s likely tight end Demetrius Harris will see his first action since last year against the Rams.

"There's a good chance,” he said. “I kind of want to go back and see how he feels after today. If he does it won't be a ton, but there's a chance he plays Thursday."

Reid said that offensive lineman Zach Fulton would take snaps at center on Thursday.

"I'm going to get him a few reps this game,” he said. “Right now I feel pretty comfortable about it unless something changes in the game. I think he needs that work. I think that will be good for him."

Forgot about Fulton at C. Obviously they're comfortable enough with him in practice to play there but it will be nice to see him get time there against the Rams. It's interesting, to me at least, because as the cuts approach and depending on how well he looks I think it's possible they cut Kush. If Allen and Fulton can play C there's no need to Kush to be on the 45 man game day roster. They take the 5 starters and 2 backups. Backing up C only won't get you on the game day roster. Depending how many they keep it might push Kush off the roster...might.

Nunez-Rochez is a 6th rounder and I can't recall him even playing. Fangupo is 30 years old. McCray was traded for Rishaw Johnson, who is out of the league.

There's no chance in hell that Williams is released. None.

And Pughsley, like Da'Ron Brown flashed early, which is why they weren't featured last Friday. It's pretty obvious the Chiefs are trying to sneak them through waivers.

You think we're going to keep Roches? If he stays then who goes? If Roches goes then we will have released a 5th, 6th, and 7th rounder.

I do highly doubt Williams is released, but it's going to be either him or Hammond. I suppose it's possible we keep both if we keep 7. Last year we kept 6. Edit just looked it up and we only kept 5 in 2013.

Unfortunately, no. They could have done that September 8th but he would have needed to pass through waivers, if I understand correctly.

By all accounts, they see him as a special player.

Ok I gotcha. Make sense. I'm glad they got 3 guys that were all competitive and like the fact they didn't try for another Nico Johnson type 2 down thumper

I've had many disagreements with Jacobs on Twitter. For shit like this. Hammond cut over brown? Lol nope. Hammond has real value to this team, while Brown didn't play Friday correct? Ya, probably sneaking him through waivers. Brown is a PS player.

Second, Fanaika flat out sucks. Surely there's a better veteran out there. Fanaika on the field means we're ****ed!

VERY crafty of him to not speak of the ongoing RG3 conversations. VERY CRAFTY.

Connect the dots. Jay Gruden, Jon Gruden, Andy Reid. RGIII went to Baylor which is in Texas. Andy Reid knows how to get to Texas... Connect the dots

I still haven't seen any reason why Kush shouldn't be starting.

At the same time, I haven't seen any reason he should be starting over Morse. Morse has been pretty good in the post season. I don't notice him which is great. Him, Grubbs, and Fisher have been very solid so far. It's the right side that has been having problems.

Nick Jacobs is a chucklehead.

Unfortunately, Fanaika is not getting cut, but why would the even bother running LDT with the first team if he may get cut?

I've never read any of his articles, but he's probably just behind Terez Paylor when it comes to tweeting Chiefs info so he's at least good for that.

Why wouldn't Fanaika get cut? Because of the money?

Hammond will not be cut, Toub likes him

Kush , I can't see them cutting him in his second year

D. Harris I think stays too

And I have a feeling Fanaika stays. I think for some reason Reid likes the guy. Sure as hell don't know why.
