Chiefs If Bowe goes down . . . - Page 9

OldSchool · 03:25 PM

What the hell are they going to do with the WR position?

I don't care how good of a play designer or play caller Reid can be, or if Alex Smith plays like he did in the playoff game for the entire season, we'd be lucky to average 20 points a game if our WR core becomes:

Avery, Jenkins, Hemmingway, Wilson/Williams/Dressler

Is Dorsey expecting our defense to hold opposing offenses to less than 10 points a game or something?

The only WR's out there right now who are worth even a tiny glance are:

Miles Austin
Santonio Holmes

That's literally it on the FA market.

Do we trade Flowers for someone? Who would make that trade? Hali?

It seems like the FO is betting on Jenkins, Avery, and Hemmingway to step up their games in year 2, but I won't be holding my breath on it.

Another possibility is that they expect Kelce back at full strength and expect him to be a 40-60 catch guy for us as an inline TE and occasional slot guy.

All I know is that Reid really has his work cut out for him. This offensive roster, in terms of receiving weapons, is nearly as bad as his early 2000 Eagles days when he had Todd Pinkston, Freddy Mitchell, and James Thrash as his top receivers. I just pray that Bowe can stay healthy and put up at least 80% of the production that Owens had for the Eagles in 2004.

If Bowe goes down Sam drops his girly looking white boyfriend for the DBowe show. Fo show.

It brings us another legit weapon.

Bowe learns he is expendable and has to focus again or allows us to jettison him.

IMO, we would have to depend almost entirely on our TEs and gadget plays with Charles, Davis, and DAT in order to move the ball down the field and score points. We'll be sprinkling in some Avery and Jenkins every once in a while.

Bowe was already MIA for the vast majority of last season anyway, what's the difference? We're going into the season with basically the same steaming pile of trash as last season except you can make the case that it's hopefully marginally better due the being the 2nd year in the offense.

Now, if JC goes down and we have to depend on this WR corp...

Thats the end of the season for sure.

But we scored 44 points without him once! /CP

The worse aspect to all this is we are going to play some really tough defenses this year. No more feasting on bottom rung D's like we did the 2nd half of the season. The NFC West was a tough draw this year.

Other than TO for a year or two and Mesean his last few years, the Eagles had hot garbage for receivers when Reid coached them. His passing offense runs through the RBs first and foremost. WRs are not the focal point, so step off the ledge. I'd be way more concerned over Charles health than Bowe. Dwayne was practically invisible most of last season.

I am firing up if Manning goes down and a if Rivers go down De Berg style threads in short order.
