Chiefs 9-1 Andy Reid Q&A OL/TE notes - Page 4

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.

If Fanaika makes the roster and LDT doesn't, THATS what's wrong with America.

Thanks, Obama.

They have too much time invested in LDT to cut him after 3 preseason games.

It's just a tad alarming that we're headed into week four of the preseason and none of us have a concrete idea of who is starting on a majority of the offensive line.

Hell, Milkman recently predicted that LDT might be on the starting line, and now this article has him on the cut list.

Interesting times ahead.

Yes there were, Mr. Dave.

Dirty, wretched heathens besmirching the good name of my adopted fatty bastard-child.

For shame!

The majority (3/5) of the line is set. Fisher. Grubbs. Morse.

Allen or Stephenson will start at RT.

Only real question is RG will will probably be Allen if Stephenson is the RT or Fulton if Allen is the RT.

So we're 100% sure now that Morse is the starter over Kush?

I'd imagine. He's started every game at center.

Frosty · 09-02-2015, 07:52 AM

Has there been any update at all on Allen?

I'm mistaken, then. I thought Kush started the first game. Morse started week 2 (and didn't look all that great), and Morse again for week 3(where he looked better).

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure Morse started all three. I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

If Fulton was going to start at RG, he'd have started the last 2 games there.
Allen may be the starter at RG, but he just isn't a good fit at guard.

Allen might be the best answer to start the season there, but I think Fulton is better.

I believe LDT gets the start, not because he's the best right now, but with the game experience, he'll be the best by mid season and season's end.

He has far more potential than either Allen or Fulton.

Just looked.

Morse got all 3 starts.
