Chiefs 9-1 Andy Reid Q&A OL/TE notes - Page 5

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.

FANGUPO CUT!?!?!?!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: P.S. Morse did suck at snapping the ball at Mizzou - badly, in fact. But it was 3 years ago so it's not shocking that he's made strides. Some of it may have had to do with him hurrying things as a young player trying to get an edge on guys that were bigger and stronger than him.

After spending 3 years leg-pressing busses every weekend, he's probably not rushing as badly. We also spend less time in the shotgun than Mizzou did and that was where he was really exposed.

Well Nick Jacobs thinks he'll get cut and that's enough for me to be very concerned.

Hebron is my Nicolas Sparks novel. After years away and a long and winding journey, my sweet baboo has finally come to Kansas City - where he's belonged all this time.

If Rachel McAdams plays me in the movie, it's imperative that she spends a great deal of time with me for character research.

Nick Jacobs says LDT is getting cut and that Fanaika is staying on the roster.

He's a moron.

Andy and Dorsey deserve flaming bags of poop on their doorstep every day for the entire season if they've learned ****ing nothing from the Mike McGlynn debacle.

True. The concept of "sunk cost" is foreign to NFL teams.

Phil Taylor with knees or Phil Taylor without knees?

Fangupo.

Taylor looked damn good as a rookie and 3 years later he's pretty much just been a broken down fat guy. Even in a relatively healthy 2013 season, he was mostly ineffective.

A backup, if nothing else, has to be durable. You can't have a guy that comes in when the first guy goes down...and then breaks down himself. That's how you end up with street free agents manning key positions in December. It ain't pretty.

Ultimately I guess Fangupo's never proven himself to be durable...but he's never broken down either. There's nothing in his history to show he wouldn't hold up, as opposed to a fairly extensive history of breakdowns for Taylor.

If Poe wasn't here and we were looking for a possible starter, Taylor's higher upside would be worth the gamble. But in my backups, give me the one that's likely to be healthier and has a higher floor. I think Fangupo is that guy.

O.city · 09-02-2015, 11:03 AM

Hadn't thought of it that way.

But I'd prefer not paying Taylor anything myself.

He would be an upgrade on Denver's trash D line

Seattle needs a center and Dorsey & Schnieder are buds from their Green Bay days.

If Fulton is adequate at center, Kush could be traded for a late rounder.

Something is weird with Kush. When given opportunity, from my pov, he always seems to play well. Why not try him at guard or something if morse fits?
