Keep ****ing doubting Rishaw Johnson.

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/3...-johnson-guard

Kansas City Chiefs G Rishaw Johnson impressed late last season
By Joel Thorman
on Mar 19 2014, 8:44a

Regular readers may have noticed that we recently posted an item on Chiefs safety Sanders Commings and whether he could end up being the answer at free safety. Right here we have another post wondering if an in-house player is the answer at a position of need.

The position is guard and the player is Rishaw Johnson.

As a refresher, Johnson was an SEC recruit at Ole Miss in 2008. He was there until 2010 when he was kicked off the team. He then went to California (PA). He joined the Seahawks in his first season in the NFL then came to Kansas City his second year. The league lists him at 6'3 and 313 pounds. Last year's starting guards are listed at 340 pounds (Geoff Scwhartz), 306 pounds (Jon Asamoah) and 305 pounds (Jon Asamoah).

Matt Conner included Johnson in our in-house players series earlier this year but I came across a couple more of items on Johnson that warrants another look-see.

Last week, I saw this from Lance Zierlein, sports talk radio host in Houston and football writer:

Quote:
Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein

@bkissel7 @Schottey Chiefs believe Rishaw is ready to take over. They LOVED how he played vs. SD at end of the year.
Johnson was among the Chiefs backups that played in Week 17 against the Chargers while the starters rested but a backup throughout the season. That caught my interest for obvious reasons being free agency week and all. If the Chiefs believe they possibly / maybe / could have a potential starting guard on the roster, they probably wouldn't go out and spend big money on a guard in free agency, right?

Quote:
Terez A. Paylor @TerezPaylor

This is true. Did well vs SD RT @ArrowheadPride: Seems like a long shot but Chiefs do have an in-house option at OG http://sbn.to/1jxEmMw
But wait! There's more!

Schwartz, who is now with the Giants in New York, went on The Drive with Danny Parkins on 610 Sports on Tuesday. Danny asked him what the Chiefs have in the guys who were behind him on the Chiefs line last season.

"Rishaw played really well in the Chargers game," Schwartz said. "He's a guy that has a lot of talent and he really developed as the year went on. He's strong and explosive off the ball. Sometimes it takes guys a couple of years to get comfortable where they're playing in a game. He did a great job against the Chargers."

Another mention of the Chargers game ... interesting. This led me to asking Chiefs GM John Dorsey on our call yesterday how important that Week 17 game was for the coaching staff and front office, getting the youngsters a shot to play.

"Anytime you can get another opportunity to evaluate the players that don't get to contribute on a week-in, week-out basis, that's very helpful," Dorsey said. "What it does is it helps the coaching staff get a degree of comfort that those guys in the personnel department as they build this thing. That's what the communication between the coaches and the personnel staff does. It's always an advantage to get those guys to play and those guys showed very well on Week 17 of the NFL schedule."

Unfortunately, Dorsey wasn't giving us an in-depth scouting report on Johnson but he did say this: "He's going to come in here and he's going to compete. He's showed that he can play the game of football, and I'm just excited to see how much stride he has made here this year."

It's a long way to the season opener with more free agency and the 2014 NFL Draft to acquire more talent as well as evaluation opportunities such as OTAs and training camp to evaluate existing talent. Rishaw Johnson is one of those existing talents that is one to keep an eye on.

It's almost like the Sanders Commings situation. You have hopes that this guy can come in and take over the job next year. But he's probably too young and inexperienced to hand the job to him. Competition and veteran insurance (Jeff Linkenbach?) is needed.

My gut has been telling me for a while that the Chiefs first round pick will be an offensive lineman. That would obviously shake things up.

I don't expect a gm to clean up all previous failures, but I'd hope he wouldn't hop right in to another one.

why do you think Dunta is gone? Once Marcus Cooper proved himself Dunta was expendable.

That's great, it's nice to see them admit a mistake and move on.

I'm guessing you don't think it was a mistake?

Our brass thought this team could win now last year. They even said it before the season started. Did you not expect them to try to fill all the glaring holes they could with any possible resource available?

We needed a ****ing CB. Do you know what QB's are in this division?

Wrong again, homer.

First of all, I don't hate Dorsey. I don't agree with some of his moves, mostly because he hasn't shown any consistency in his approach.

I PRAISED the Dorsey and Reid hires when they came on board. I wasn't happy with the Alex Smith trade but when he went out and proved I was wrong about him, I was back on board.

Now they're trying to shovel us the "build through the draft" shit which is code for "now that we've hooked everybody on playoff football".

Anybody with one eye knew how bad Dunta Robinson is. It's ****ing obvious.

It's funny that you are implying that building through the draft and winning now can't go together.

If we needed a cb and Dunta Robinson was the answer to that question mark, well, that doesn't speak very well.

If they thought it was a win now team last year, what changed? We now know we have other glaring holes which are obvious, and instead of going win now and filling them like they did last year, they're letting young guys duke it out for them.

I don't have a problem with that, but it's not a consist approach in regards to last year.

Unless they think they didn't need to go sign any free agents to fill said holes because they can do it in house (maybe they can, I hope), they need a home run draft

Why do you believe that they think that they can't get back to the playoffs and have a chance to win next year?
