Gaither will get his first look at left tackle
Gaither will get his first look at left tackle

The Chiefs won't practice until later this afternoon and coach Todd Haley said when they do, the recently signed Jared Gaither will be working as a left tackle.

Gaither can eventually be moved to right tackle if the Chiefs see the need. But at least to start, he'll be on the left side.

Interesting move but not unexpected. In his two seasons as Baltimore's starting left tackle, Gaither was better than Branden Albert has been during his time as the Chiefs' starter at that position.

If Gaither works out the way the Chiefs hope, Albert should probably prepare to make the move over to the other side of the line himself.

Meantime, the Chiefs need to get Gaither into playing shape.

''This is a guy that's been out, hasn't been part of an off-season program, like everybody else,'' Haley said. ''He also missed a couple of weeks so even thought I believe he’s been working on his own, the number one deal for him is going to be the strength and conditioning aspect. He got a couple of good workouts over the weekend and we’re going to continue that.''

''First and foremost is trying to get him into a baseline physical condition that we feel like gives him a chance to succeed.''

Gunther was in love with Eric Hicks, that was why Holliday started backing up Allen at RDE of all places.

Only Gunther would play a 6-5, 300 lb guy at RDE in a 4-3.

The biggest problem with that D was a lack of elite talent. Allen was still developing. No one else on that D was close to elite. Mostly it was solid players.

If Gunther wasn't incompetent, he would have gotten something out of Vonnie Holliday and the Chiefs would have had a tandem of Holliday/Allen. Holliday ended up being a terrific pass rusher AFTER he left Kansas City. Between Wesley/Woods/Knight, we had talent in the secondary. With Surtain, we had at least one solid corner. And while Dalton and Browning weren't exactly formidable, that wasn't a terrible 1-2 punch either.

I'm not talking about the Chiefs being a top 5 defense. I'm saying they had more than enough horses to support a top 3 offense deep into the playoffs, especially if a real coach got something out of Kawika, Holliday, and DJ (and who knows how many other players) that Gunther could not.
Holiday benefitted from playing with actaul talent after he left.
Mitchell was still nothing more than an average LB.
Wesley wasn't anywhere close to as good as some people still seem to think and Suratin was already done, as was Sammy Knight, when he joined the Chiefs.

Even Woods only a somewhat better than average safety,

That was a collection of never were's and has beens.

Another DC might have gotten a little something out of them, but that collestion talent (used loosely) was never going to support anything.

Considering the health issues I'd be very surprised to see Gaither in the starting line-up opening day.

That and the fact that Albert has never played on the right side at any level at tackle or guard.

That might be the direction they are headed, but certainly not by opening day.

If Gaither can play up to his ability I would have no problem sliding Albert over to left guard.

Interesting ... i assume that Gaither will initially be the backup swing OT. Start off at LT and then work in at RT.

Although if Gaither stays healthy and Albert continues to be mediocre there are going to be a lot of 'Albert isn't a RT' people pissed off because i see Albert replacing Richardson at RT before replacing Lilja at LG.

Richardson has a problem with focus ... i don't see that changing by just moving him inside. Also the Chiefs seem to want to pull their guards and i don't know if Richardson can do that.

Man, that's a power running lineup though.


Haley would be jizzing in his pant all day long running McClain behind that Oline. ROLF

thats true, but just because he has never played guard doesnt mean that he couldnt be a better guard than tackle. hell in his draft profile from 08 it says that he'd probably fit better at guard than he would tackle.

they could give a try, like that did by moving quinten lawrence to cb.

depends on the blocking scheme ... but moving guys from OT to OG is a lot safer than trying to make a guard a tackle.

Just like moving a safety to cornerback is usually death but sliding a physical cornerback over to free safety can work out really well.

Well the only problem with this is that you simply just dont draft right tackles in the 1st round. left tackles, sure, right tackles, good right tackles can be had in the 2nd, 3rd, and even later rounds.
