Ehinger, from scouting reports, may not yet have the strength to hold up.

It is possible that Reid or Pughsley, who Paylor recently mentioned as someone that we should watch, could win either or both jobs.

Mike Williams is also on alert, but I think he stands a better chance of being able to contribute than Streater does.

Mike Williams has very little chance unless he suddenly becomes a receiver that manages to gain some separation, something he wasn't doing in his productive years.

That just won't work with Smith.

Eric Berry is going to ****ing BALL this season.

Dudes got a massive ego and not getting paid is going drive him nuts.

**BossChief** · 07-27-2016, 07:56 AM

Kinda disappointing to hear Houston won't be doing any team work at camp.

For Reid to come out this early and say definitively that Justin will be in St Joe but won't be working is concerning. He basically said Houston is definitely gonna miss regular season games and that they don't know how many.

I've said all along I think the most reasonable expectation is him returning after the bye and I still think that.

I'll be in St Joe next Saturday and am excited to see the team work.

RunKC · 07-27-2016, 07:57 AM

Ehinger is the most technically sound G on the team and that's going to win him the job. He moves well and knows how to pull, which Andy does a lot with screens.

He's not the strongest guy right now, but he makes up for some of that with his understanding of the game and how to use his hands.

I think he can be an average G this year who has some struggles with bigger DL.

**BossChief** · 07-27-2016, 08:18 AM

Cbs sports can be pretty lazy.

"Eric Berry returned from his battle with leukemia to make the Pro Bowl and be named a first-team All-Pro. In other words, he was still Eric Berry. We expect that to continue, assuming he eventually reports despite the fact that he didn't get a long-term deal."

He's been the highest paid safety in NFL history since he was drafted.

I'd have no problem if KC made him the highest paid safety on a LTD...but the guy is demanding 12m per and 35m guaranteed.

No way in hell is he worth that much money and if the cancer returns, that much guaranteed money would burn the team.

ChiefAshhole1056 · 07-27-2016, 08:37 AM

Not too worried about the Berry situation. This is his contract year where he is playing for a historic safety contract, he will be preparing and training on his own and will be ready to impress. With his contract situation, of course he's going to skip out on what he can, because practice sucks.

Let the Chiefs go through this and establish who is going to be the leaders of the locker room and defense going forward without Berry being there, because that's something they are going to have to get used to after this year.

CupidStunt · 07-27-2016, 08:50 AM

Really, really, really disappointed in Berry honestly. Been one of my favorite Chiefs since draft day (and fave players before). Chiefs drafted him 5 overall despite all the pundits talking about positional value etc. Made him the highest-paid player at his position in history before playing a snap. To my understanding paid him in full and supported him 110% throughout his situation, not something every franchise would automatically do. Tagged him making him yet again the highest-paid guy, and willing to pay all kinds of money long-term. Understandably want some protection for themselves. And not only is he seemingly trying to squeeze every single cent out of KC, now he's not even being the good soldier and at least showing up at camp? On one hand I get the injury fear but, man, if that's the case he's gonna play scared -- which equals bad -- all year.

Not one person in red is thinking about 2017. So hopefully someone steps up for this year because this defense has always been Houston's and Berry's. DJ is in the mix, but much less of a vocal leader. That was always a big problem a few years ago; despite seemingly lots of talent, the D was soft and overall played like a bunch of pussies, and obviously no one was calling it as it is.

Massive ego?

saphojunkie · 07-27-2016, 09:03 AM

The problem is that Berry wants a raise. He could take a pay cut over his last deal and still be the highest paid safety.

I love Berry, but for what he is asking I am finally at the point of saying just tag and release next year when he is 28. Let someone else commit to paying him 12 million when he's 32-33.

2016 highest paid safety vs production

**The Franchise** · 07-27-2016, 09:07 AM

Yeah....let me know when Earl Thomas and Eric Berry have the same responsibilities.
