First there was Holthus:

St Joe is gonna be good-some Real competition at several positions #chiefs

Then comes Klingler and 610:

NEW BLOG: @joshklingler it doesn't look like many #Chiefs training camp battles are ahead

.. I hate to disappoint Chiefs fans but I think we can put the starting lineup pretty much in ink before mid-June. St. Joseph will provide the opportunity for everyone to evaluate Matt Cassel, check on the health of Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry, Tony Moeaki and Kendrick Lewis, and see battles unfold for the #3 running back and backup corner spots. Yawn.

But seriously though. Klinger has the depth chart at more or less the same as last year with the obvious additions of Hillis, Routt, Winston, and Boss in their respective starting positions.

What say y'all? Think that will hold true though August into week 1?

DISCUS

Offensive Line?

**SuperChief** · 06-14-2012, 12:21 PM

There probably won't be many battles for a starting gig. I think there will be, however, several good battles for backup spots (which are important, too).

Micjones · 06-14-2012, 12:22 PM

There should be a battle for the #2 and #3 WR spots, no?

Chiefnj2 · 06-14-2012, 12:22 PM

Only turmoil to the starting roster is if ACL's aren't healed.

Ace Gunner · 06-14-2012, 12:25 PM

The Holthus comment is for 10yo's imo and at this point in this team's development, you should know pretty much who your starters are going to be across the board. Imo that is a good thing. You may get a surprise riser during camp, that's a good thing too.

Who is honestly going to beat out Baldwin and Breaston that will alternate 2 and 3?

McCluster? Bahahahahahahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Mr. Laz · 06-14-2012, 12:35 PM

I don't think there are many positions left undecided

#2 QB
#4 WR
KR/PR
#3 RB
backup safety spots
Nose tackle and MLB are the only places where starting jobs are up for grabs

Poe/Gordon/Powe @NT
Belcher/Siler @ MLB

I imagine they will just rotate constantly at NT so that doesn't matter much

Belcher vs Siler could be the only real battle imo

although i don't think McCluster is a lock to make the team despite what people are saying.

Dont forget the battle for "special teams Ace" between Copper and Wiley.

He needs to beat out Wylie for the 4th receiver spot.

Why would we keep him as the 5th receiver over Copper or Tucker? Dex can't cover kicks.

Stupid shortened link wouldn't paste from twitter, so here it is.

heh, i preach this same thing every year....

Training Camp and Pre season games are way over evaulated and analyzed.

They mean crap to a team full of veterans like the Chiefs. 99% of the roster is set.

The NFL loves preseason for one reason only. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If Wylie plays well then DMC is in trouble imo

Wylie can be the gadget guy and the return guy

that would force DMC to make it as a pure WR and i'm not sure he can do that.

all this stuff you hear about DMC dominating in OTA's is misleading. The small quick guys always look better in shorts with no contact.

once defenders start jamming/bumping the WR's during their routes the little guys usually see their productivity drop.

Holthus is always going to parrot whatever Pioli tells him. He's not a journalist, he's a play by play guy.
