I think (hope) the thinking behind this is, lets wait till he's fully healthy. Because if he is healthy now and isn't playing, thats on the coaching staff becausee he is tons better than Richardson.

I vaguely recall the announcers saying Gaither was in the game when KC kneeled the final play or two this past week.

How hasn't McClain been a disappointment?

They signed him to a one-year deal to be a lead blocker. Everyone expected him to be used as a power runner. Managing expectations.

How's he been as a lead blocker? How 'bout as a pass catcher?

He's only been targetted six times and caught three of them. Further, he's only had seven run attempts. Obviously the coaches aren't utilizing him how you EXPECTED. He's being used as a lead-blocker, and he's good at it. Basing your disappointment on a 2.1 ypc stat based on a sample size of seven runs is reerunED.

I was sure the coaching staff checked with chiefsplanet every week before deciding the inactives each week. Bummer to hear that's not true. My guess is if he's still inactive because he's not ready to get on the field yet.

Dude, he hasn't been inactive since Buffalo. He's just not on the field except as a fill-in for Albert or Richardson, both of whom have been relatively healthy.

If he's not on the field its because he's not ready except as an emergency. I can't believe that if Gaither is up to it physically that he could be behind Richardson who has been horrible every week.

He's listed behind Albert on the depth chart. I remember the coaches making it clear he was a a left tackle. I believe the coaching sucks.

Haley also said today that Gaither can play both left and right tackle now. #chiefs

Gaither better be playing RT. Richardson protecting Palko's blindside is going to get him killed.

Its hard to consider logic while dealing with the Chiefs. I mean look @ the QB position.

O.city · 11-14-2011, 04:34 PM

I'm thinking this is the week he starts at RT.
