Salina Journal:5/2... Does law still fit in Chiefs plans?

[Coogs]

Don't have a link. Just have a copy of The Salina Journal in front of me.

It says the Chiefs could still be interested in bringing in Law after June 1st. Says his progress is ahead of schedule, and Law had a screw taken out because the Chiefs were worried it would break.

There exists the possibility Law could sign a one year deal, show he is healthy, and go for the long term contract next year.

Other teams interested are the Colts, Steelers, and Jets.

BTW, this article was reprinted from The Boston Globe, and was written by Nick Cafardo. If someone can look this up, you might be able to post the whole article.

Why does that suck? That seems to be the ideal scenario in my opinion. On the outside, Bell can get in the backfield and create havoc for opposing QBs, while DJ can blanket the opposing team's tight end. Mitchell should keep improving entering his 2nd season in Gun's scheme, and he will have Sammy Knight helping him in stuffing the run.

My take is Gun is "trying" to recreate the past:

Bell = Anthony Davis
Hicks/hall = Neil Smith
DJ/Fujita = DT

With that scenario, that makes Mitchell = Tracy Simeon, I guess....which is doable.

The problem is, at this point we don't have Davis-Smith-DT covered.

I still can't understand why so many people on this board view Mitchell as the scapegoat of our awful defense last year.

Mitchell struggled some in his career and didn't play to a pro bowl level in his first 16 games as a starter. He missed some tackles and he ran into blockers. Now with all of 16 starts under his belt, 7 in GRobs scheme and 9 in Guns scheme it has been determined that he sucks, and he will always suck because he's one of Carls many draft day busts. He doesn't deserve another chance because he sucks.

What confuses me is how Mitchell sucks because he runs into blockers and Johnson isn't "all that" because he runs around those blockers. With both those guys on our D I can't help but think our D will suck again this year. We're doomed!

I would compare Bell more to DT then Anthony Davis. If Bell stays healthy all year, I wouldn't be surprised if Gun blitzes him a lot and he ends up with double digit sacks.

Gun made the direct comparison of Bell to Davis in one of his Star articles of late....I agree with you though.
