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.

Also don't take this as me thinking they need to sign any big free agents. They didn't.

However, there were and still are free agents out there that would really help, and I will never have a problem with them thinking they can develop an cultivate the talet on the roster to a higher level.

But that's a lot of pressure on young guys.

Oh, I know they believe they can. They have no business being in their jobs if they don't think they can win each and every year.

It's not about them believing. It's about us believing.

I don't see anything right now that suggests they'll repeat what they did last year, let alone improve on it. I could always be wrong, of course.

I can't believe any human being would defend signing Dunta Robinson.

I watch a lot of Falcons football and Dunta was DONE last year.

Dorsey got extremely lucky that Marcus Cooper fell in his lap...otherwise, Dunta might have cost us the playoffs.

I don't think they think (what?) they can't, but they're banking on young mostly unproven guys putting them over the hump.

That's a lot to ask, but I do think we probably have the coaching staff in place to develop them.

That's definitely the good thing about Andy Reid.

I just hope it doesn't turn out like Marty. I see A LOT of similarities...

Luckily, I think Reid's offensive philosophy is more conducive with the current rules etc to be successful.

However, unless our dc improves or our defense improves, we are in trouble

I didn't defend it, but I had a better expectation out of him. Probably because I didn't know how much he had regressed the past few seasons and I remember him being pretty good back in the day. Plus he wasn't starting, so I was hoping maybe he'd be a good veteran filler player to have. Boy was I wrong....

It's almost exactly the same thing.
Our cap situation and age was disastrous. What Dorsey inherited is nothing close to the shit show Kuharich inherited. In that case the best option was to hack the team apart. The chiefs right now are not nearly as old and have some very favorable cap years coming up.

I think we still have a lot of talent on the team from last year. We have a QB who we can believe in, finally.
Vance Walker is a big upgrade from Tyson Jackson IMO.

Of course there are unknowns, and we do play a harder schedule, but I think we will be in the playoff race.

I'll have to see the draft that we have. I really do think we can get 2 or 3 players from this draft to come in and play immediately..and play well.

Nobody is defending Dunta Robinson dumbass.

They needed a CB and he was the best option. It turned out to be a bad move. They moved on.

And I think they will draft another CB in May.

Agreed. Who do you want us to draft with our first and second round picks? Or at least what positions do you want them to draft? I don't know a lot of players in the draft, but I would really really love to see us nab a good TE early in this draft. Even moreso than WR I think.
