Chiefs Preseason Offense Discussion. Megathreads suck. - Page 2

**Iowanian** · 08-06-2015, 02:49 PM

A long time ago on a website with the same name, discussions about the team, position battles and theory used to take place.

In this thread, we will travel back in time to 2003 and attempt to actually do that. For most, it will be like a trip to a football zoo as they stand in amazement, licking the glass on the gorilla cage window.

In this thread, we will specifically discuss offensive battles and positions. Feel free to join in lurkers and old timers. Window lickers please hang out in the threads and talk about not getting laid or whatever you do.

As am I.

I think that's the facet in which we'll miss Bowe. I'm sure there were more than a handful of big gains sprung/lengthened by great blocks from Bowe.

That's at least a contribution. I will try to modify the iPad spell ch ck to alleviate any further feminine itch.

There are lots of positions and or players that are of interest.
C-RT is really going to determine how good our OL can be this season. I hope that Stephenson is back to his old form. It would be nice to have a good RT and not have to hear about how we are going to spend a mid upper 1st rounder on a RT or RG. Speaking of RG it would be really nice to see a rookie OL, Morse, show up immediately and take the RG spot.
QB is always of interest. I have been hearing from a few people that go to camp that Murray has looked fairly bad, which means it is unlikely that we will part with Daniel now or possibly even next off-season.

I'm excited to see this team play. I really think that Maclin is going to be fun to watch. I'm also cautiously optimistic about the supposed 3rd year in a system leap for him. I'll believe it when I see it. But I want so much to see him put up Trent Green numbers that I'm drinking the koolaid and hoping for great things. If and I know that's a big if. If Alex can do that with the defense we had last year, this team could really be something special.

KCTitus · 08-06-2015, 06:38 PM

If there's anything I'd like to see is during the preseason to see some semblance of offense. I dont know how many years of preseason football KC has looked like they didnt know if they were shot, ****ed, powder burnt or snake bit.

Move the damn ball...execute a few plays. Make the dress rehearsal look like a dress rehearsal and not a listless and confused mess.

I hope Maclin makes us forget about Bowe and KC shows the ability to be dynamic on offense

Frankie Hammond still thinks he can plan.

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...e30337485.html

BY BLAIR KERKHOFF

ST. JOSEPH
One of the biggest surprises of camp was the development of wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr.

So read the story from a Florida newspaper in August 2008.

Hammond had arrived at the University of Florida as part of the Gators’ recruiting class after the 2007 national championship without great fanfare, not unlike his debut with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent three years ago.

Now, like his early Florida days, Hammond is impressing his way through training camp. During the first week of full-squad workouts, with all eyes on newcomer Jeremy Maclin, Hammond garnered attention by diverting receptions away from the Chiefs’ big offseason acquisition.

In one series, Hammond dove for a ball near the sideline that appeared to be destined for a Derrick Johnson interception. But the pass sailed through Johnson’s arms into Hammond’s chest.

A few plays later, on a quick hit, the ball slammed off Hammond’s elbow and ricocheted into the air. Hammond, surrounded by three defenders, momentarily lost sight of the ball only to find it at the last second. He made the reception while falling to the ground.

“I should have gotten my head turned around a little quicker on that one,” Hammond said. “Thankfully, I was able to find it.”

These catches occurred a day after the Chiefs were forced by storms to practice indoors, and Hammond came up with a pair of leaping snags.

He’s seemingly in the right place at the right time and catching everything thrown his way.

“He’s going after the ball,” said backup quarterback Chase Daniel, who has made Hammond something of a favorite target. “He’s a physical receiver. He may not be the biggest guy in the world, but he can get in there and throw the shoulder around. His concentration is excellent.”

The Chiefs have 14 wide receivers in training camp after signing Mizzou product L’Damian Washington earlier this week. Two, Junior Hemingway and Chris Conley, have missed time with injuries. Speedster De’Anthony Thomas has moved to the outside. Second-year pro Albert Wilson and 10-year veteran Jason Avant look like locks. The competition will be strong.

It was a good time for Hammond to have a highlight-reel week, which included a special-teams play when he caught a ball two yards from the goal line on punt coverage.

“I’m just trying to make plays,” Hammond said. “Improve, bust my tail and build off last year.”

In 2014, Hammond appeared in all 16 games, started three and caught four passes. He returned 15 punts for a team-leading 13.3-yard average.

A year earlier, he wasn’t part of the 53-man roster. But after going unclaimed through waivers, he was signed to the Chiefs practice squad.

This, too, mirrors his college route. With the Gators, Hammond redshirted as a freshman. He earned a scholarship with his athleticism after winning a gold medal at the 2007 AAU Junior Olympics in the high jump, where he soared 6 feet, 10 inches.

He got on the field in his second year but lost his scholarship following a DUI arrest, paying his own way through school as a walk-on. He re-dedicated himself, returned to the program’s good graces and won back his scholarship the following season. Hammond finished his college career with 63 receptions and six touchdowns, including a 75-yard game-breaker against Tennessee as a senior.

Now, Hammond looks to keep his spot on a Chiefs team that must get more production from its wide receivers, the group that didn’t catch a touchdown pass last season.

He didn’t hurt his chances with a solid first week of camp.

“I’m just trying to develop the trust of the coaches, so they know they can put me at any spot,” Hammond said. “I want them to be confident in me to get the job done.”

I agree, a lot of the fortunes of the team this year rests on the right side of the O-Line. Grubbs will be fine and Fisher is on a make or break year. I think the coaching staff hopes Kush will be fine but hedged that bet with the Morse pick. Not the strongest vote of confidence but at the same time Dorsey doubled down on being able to use Morse at RG is Kush does well at C.

Then the question that is RT.

John Tait, I mean...Eric Fisher is entering year 3. I've waited patiently on his development but am in the crowd believing this is the year he has to make giant leaps forward or become a replacement candidate for 2016.

No more excuses about small school competition, no offseason surgery. He has had an entire offseason to become "grown man strong" if it's possible for him and has enough experience to know what to expect. Last year being stuck next to McTurd didn't help but that is no longer an excuse.

Ben Grubs is a grown ass man and is dependable at the Guard. He should be a strength for Fisher's play as a seasoned vet who plays at a high level isn't going to hang him out to dry. Grubs also should be a big help for an unproven center.

John Tait was the best RT in football. I remember his blocking three dudes at once and just kicking their ass. (It was the first season he was with the Bears.) Our offensive line was in a constant state of digression once Tait left.

You hope to the almighty sweet baby jesus that Fisher achieves Tait performance levels in his lifetime/career with the Chiefs.
