If that is really what he signed for...get ready for Albert to be moved to either LG or RT...and I will have to start a thread that Ill bump each time Im right about something. That is starting LT money, not RT money. |

Here is what I think could happen, the Chiefs go into the season with this starting offensive line:
LT Albert LG Lilja C Wiegman RG Asamoah RT Richardson *Then as the season rolls along, I think the weakest links on this unit will be identified. Imo, they will be Richardson, Lilja, and Wiegman. Wiegman as we know is old and his body won't be able to keep up with an entire season. Lilja is going to struggle against the more bigger, physical and athletic DT's. Richardson will lose focus and have his struggles, especially in pass protection. I think Albert will have his struggles in pass protection as well but not to the extent of Richardson. I could see this current unit struggling as a whole. And it could get to the point where we could see some shuffling going on? Possibly, Gaither comes in and automatically gets inserted to LT? In that case scenario, Albert moves over to LG. Which is what I hope happens. Move him back to his natural position and this guy will be in beast mode. Then Hudson could come in and replace Wiegman? All of a sudden the issue of having to worry about being overpowered by physical and stronger DT's is resolved. Albert and Hudson are bigger, stronger, and just as athletic, if not, more athletic than Lilja and Wiegman combined. But the great thing is, we gain size, and strength on the interior of the line without losing any athleticism whatsoever. The only issue I could see is RT. Richardson will struggle and then O'Callaghan could come in. If Gaither could get back to old form, he may be the key to our offensive line. We may have a steal. An offensive line unit consisting of: LT Gaither LG Albert C Hudson RG Asamoah RT ???? Richardson/O'Callaghan for now is a pretty solid unit to have. Next year we may possibly draft a tackle to address the RT situation. And it could be in the early rounds? Or we could go the route via FA. I hope Gaither gets healthy and returns to old form. |

So we could have wasted a first rounder on Okung, who's hurt right now.
Or we could have drafted Berry and signed Gaither and added some starting talent AND great positional depth on BOTH sides. Saccopoo got a little lesson in team-building from Pioli today |

Gaither, IMO is coming in to compete with BRich for the RT spot and backup Albert at LT. May the best man win. Nothing more. Posted via Mobile Device |

Good signing. He's a better player than Richardson, and with Gaither, you now have two guys who could play the swing tackle in the event of an Albert injury, who isn't exactly Bruce Matthews.
