Fredex NOT in danger of being cut!

[Big Chief Homer]

I didnt see a post on this yet.

I was reading through some of the press coverage and theres a blurb in the july 31st morning interview where DV states Freddie will be on the team Injury or not.Thats the way i took it anyhow.

Qustion:Is that a set back for him(freddie) because he's new?

DV:It never helps to get hurt...It never helps,but I think that applies more to guys who are struggling to make the football team,than to someone who has already established himself AND WHO YOU KNOW IS GOING TO BE HERE.We wont hold it against him.


Sounds to me like Fred is already set on the 53 man roster unless his injury put him on the PUP.

BCH

He's a lock.

[jAZ]

If he believes that, then he must really trust that not having surgery is the best thing for him long-term.

I'm kinda suprised about that either way.

First, when exactly did First Clown Freddie establish himself?
I musta missed that day.

Second, how can Dick just dismiss the idea that any of the young guys will win a job over First Clown Freddie?

This, IMO, is just another example of a senile old fart making a dumbass statement.

This is great news.

And what young guy on the team has done anything more than ride the pine? Boerigter can't stay healthy, Horn is an All Pro on the practice squad, Richard Smith is ALWAYS hurt and doesn't show up when the real lights turn on, Crow Thorpe hasn't done anything yet, and all of our WR's sent to NFL Europe struggled.

Don't get me wrong, Mitchell isn't a great WR. But he does have starter experience, has made some big plays in his career, has Super Bowl experience, and is only 26 years old. Does any of our other young WR's have that?

[the Talking Can]

That sucks.

His presence should not be predetermined. Plus, he really sucks.

First Clown Freddie has made one big play in his career, a play that was as much the fault of the Packer D as it was the result of anything First Clown did.

And exactly how many catches did First Clown have in that SB?

Yes Boe has had health issues, but that doesn't discount the fact that he's a guy that has potential, especially if his vision issues are resolved.

Richard Smith is always hurt?
How can anyone make that claim of a player that was a rookie last year?

Thorpe hasn't done anything yet.
Neither has DJ. I guess we should just cut his ass right now.

100% true. You had to be deluded to think Fredex was gonna get cut.

Boerigter can't stay healthy

I think can't "get" healthy is a more accurate statement. He has a grand total of 158 yards since being hurt in 2002 (yes that's 2002) and he's still not taking part in training camp. It's getting ridiculous.

How is Richard Smith always hurt? If I remember correctly he didn't even play till about 1/2 through the season because of the Chiefs 'don't play the rookies' philosiphy.

Wrong he was playing the first couple of games, didn't produce so they tried someone else. Almost had a couple of plays in the Carolina game I went to.

You can argue with me all you want. Bottom line is Mitchell is on the squad barring any injury.
