Chiefs Dispelling the myth that we have to cut Cyrus Gray or Devon Wylie - Page 4

**RealSNR** · 05:05 PM

That is nonsense. Garbage. Hippy bullshit. LIES.

We don't need to cut either player. And we won't. In fact, we can keep both those guys, everybody's favorite midget boyfriend ****ster McSuckstick, AND a FB that people supposedly think we need.

QBs- 3
RBs- 4
FBs- 1
WRs- 6
TEs- 3
OTs- 4
OGs- 3
C- 1
NT- 3
DE- 4
OLB- 4
ILB- 4
CB- 5
S- 4
K- 1
P- 1
LS- 1
________
52 roster spots filled

And that leaves one extra roster spot available for someone else. Probably a versatile swing DL like Amon Gordon, or maybe we keep Darryl Harris around as backup G/C so Lilja doesn't have to pull double duty.

Hell, imagine if Romeo says we don't need a FB and uses Steve Maneri as the H-back type blocking guy? You can keep Gordon AND include a shitty DB like Jacques Reeves, or one of the WRs that will get aborted like Jamar Newsome or Josh Bellamy.

The point is there are tons of available places to siphon off spots to make room for Gray and Wylie. What was it Herm said? You keep the best players on your roster, even if it means you wind up with 10 RBs. Here we're only keeping 4. Maybe 5.

This is what how this guy sees the roster shaping up:

As hard as it is to admit--since I've blasted the bald-headed prick pretty consistently for all the micro-management, the secrecy, for the Haley debacle, for Cassel, etc--Pioli has built one hell of a deep roster after 3 years at almost every position besides QB. Now that's a pretty important position to be negligent at--kind of like having a killer mechanic who works on everything but motors--but I love the O-line, RB, WR, DL, and LB depth we now have. Still possibly a little thin at CB, S, and of course QB, but Pioli has built a pretty decent roster in 3 years, and I guess he deserves credit for it. Teams will actually be scouring the Chiefs roster cuts for good players that just couldn't find a spot.

He's done.

Agreed, I also think Powe goes to the PS.

Dumb.

Also, a guy who misspells that many player names clearly doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

a guy like Powe going to the practice squad will be immediately plucked by another team. That's the predicament the Chiefs will be in

Not going to happen.

Poe is the golden boy they have to protect.

I'd bet they'll carry 4 NT prospects and cut the FB/OL extras...

okcchief · 08-12-2012, 10:15 AM

This has been my thought all along. A run heavy team should have 4 RBs on the roster anyway. I don't see the cutting Wylie either

I am not the GM.

That said I see no logical reason why McCluster and Wylie exist on the same roster.

They fit exactly the same roles. They are (now) playing the same position. They fill the same need in the return game.

Why do we need 3 slot WR's?....

Well, there is a difference between golden boy Poe and 5th round draft pick Powe. But yes, both need to be kept on the final 55 man roster

Chiefaholic · 08-12-2012, 10:55 AM

Why waste a roster spot on Quinn if he's struggling to beat out Stanzi? Cut Quinn and throw Tanney on the practice squad. If Matt gets hurt, I'd much rather see what Ricky can do opposed to a guy whose already had the opportunity and failed miserably. Carry two QB's and open a position for somebody who can play a role for this team other than holding the clipboard.

thabear04 · 08-12-2012, 11:36 AM

When is the first cut they have to make?

Kylo Ren · 08-12-2012, 11:50 AM

Is it impossible in today's NFL to have a competant back up lineman who can also be a really good long snapper? Why is this difficult? Why do we have to waste a roster spot on a LS? Are there 32 specialist long snappers in the NFL? Are the days of your starting center being you long snapper over?

Long snappers are the biggest farce in the NFL.
