Chiefs Chiefs release KeiVarae Russell - Page 43

Rand Gettlin-I'm told the #Chiefs have released defensive back KeiVarae Russell. Special teams numbers game. Super talented player. Likely to be claimed.

WOW

I gave a shit...yesterday.

At this point, there's nothing we can do about it, and it isn't something that's going to make or break this team now or in the long run.

All indications were Russell was going to be the biggest disappointment of all of our draft picks aside from Hogan. I want expecting shit from him this year, and all that's changed now is I won't ever expect anything.

I'm not going to let this weird turn of events cloud the fact that I was already excited about this draft class going into the season knowing Russell might not ever make a contribution to it.

But as we've often noted around here, one of Dorsey's greatest strengths has been his ability to build young, effective, cheap depth. And yeah, he's found a couple of young foundational players in Kelce and probably Peters. But DJ and Hali are in dire need of replacement and Berry's probably not staying. Poe may not be worth what he's going to ask for as well. And while nobody will care for this opinion at all, Houston's best days are behind him, IMO. Lower body injuries add up and age gets to everyone.

We're not at critical mass by any means and one homerun draft could fix everything, but this stings a bit and regardless of how you want to spin it, this isn't an endorsement of Dorsey, it's an indictment.

Whatever led to this, it can't happen again. You can't have a pick in the top 75 that is so goddamn bad, either due to talent or attitude, that you can't even be bothered to red shirt him for a year with all the other 'who gives a shit' guys that don't dress out every week.

The fact that none of us have been able to come up with a single example of this in the last 10+ years speaks volumes. This just doesn't happen - it can't happen.

Good post DJ. Again.

They haven't won a playoff game since 1990, so it hasn't not worked out so well for them.

Youll start giving a shit if we lose a few games and our secondary is getting torched or something..

But, In any case check this out:

Is there any chance the guy was just dumb? Maybe he cant understand the playbook?

Is that a possibility?

Our secondary is fine as it is barring a couple catastrophic injuries. It's the front seven that will make or break us.

If you cant cover people, you cant make sacks.

It works together. Id like to see consistent pressure on the QB

**DaneMcCloud** · 09-15-2016, 05:34 PM

The Chiefs have hit on FIVE 3rd rounders since Dorsey's arrival in 2013. That's FIVE in four drafts.

Kelce and Davis, Gaines, Conley and Nelson but now people are concerned that Dorsey might **** up the future because they cut their 3rd rounder this year?

Come on, people.

We will "cover people" just fine. I'm not concerned about that at all. Plenty of talent there to go along with great coaching.

The from seven is the concern, and that's clear as day.

It is ridiculous. Everybody was already excited about this class with Russell showing jack shit up till this point. Why should that change now? Why should we pretend Dorsey blew it?

I wouldnt go that far (personally anyway). It just sucks is all..

Im more worried about the present actualy..I believe enough in this regime to have faith in the future. Totally wiffing 1 week into the season sucks, oh well. It happens.

**Ming the Merciless** · 09-15-2016, 05:40 PM

I am kinda surprised they would draft a guy who had academic fraud issues (possibly?)

At worst he is a cheat for no reason, and at best a dummy who needed help on a test or whatever

They whiffed on a 3rd rounder but hit on at least 2 of their 4th rounders, one of their 5th rounders and quite possibly, both of their 6th round picks.

It would have been nice had Russell not been cut because more likely than not, they'll be drafting at least one CB next year, whether it's early or late, but it didn't.

It's far from the end of the world.
