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.

Big ****ing deal.

I'll take the 2 free agents.
Teams get rewarded more handsomely if they lose more than they add. We will get that. It is not a panacea, but it gives us a few additional picks where the other does not. All 4 of those guys will start. All earn big money.

A good GM can do big things with those picks.

A good GM *might* might get 1 above average player out of those 4 picks. A great GM might get 2.

Franchise tag? So next year, you want to be sinking 30 million dollars on Smith, Houston, and berry? You want to negotiate their contracts after the massive NFL cap increase vs now? If we play our cards right, we could have a shit load of money to spend next year. A lot more than we had this year by a mile.

Meet The Chiefs New Right Guard

It may be with a bit of tongue-in-cheek that I say this but, it looks like the Chiefs have every intention of starting Rishaw Johnson at the Right-Guard position in 2014. And, I have to say, I’m not at all surprised.

Now, basing your whole decision on one game, the last San Diego game, would be foolish at best. However, Andy Reid and his staff have had the opportunity to observe Rishaw Johnson on the practice field since the beginning of last season (and before) and I have a good idea that they’ve been playing their hand out this past season, with a card up their sleeves. That card would be Rishaw Johnson… and his performance in the San Diego game only confirmed what they already knew: Rishaw Johnson is a stud.
Such a ****ing stud he started how many games?...

I would gladly take a quality player and depth, and wait one year to get a free agent than add a free agent now and forego the depth. Are we so impatient about this window that we are afraid to wait even one year at the expense of several picks?

We all know one year turns into 2 and 2 turns into 4.

My franchise tag comment had zero to do with our team and everything to do with the fact that Houston WILL be franchise tagging Watt and Seattle WILL be franchise tagging Thomas.

With Romeo there franchising Watt will be the biggest waste of money in the league...

I'm not sold on Dorsey in the draft either. But it's not even about picks. It's also about whether you want marginal free agents now or wait one year to have the space and flexibility to go after true game changers.

They won't go after true game changers.

It's marginal free agents now or wait one year and sign more marginal free agents.

No way jj Watt will want to stay in romeos system. And hard to believe a player of thomas' calibre wouldn't test the market, especially with the Seahawks having so many big decisions to make soon including Russell Wilson and Sherman. And those are just two of many free agents to hit the 2015 market.

True game changers get the franchise tag...

Even if they do hit the market, they won't sign here.

I don't doubt that they won't do that or flub comp picks. I am giving Dorsey the opportunity to be a good GM and we don't know yet if he is or isn't. A good GM would make good use of the extra picks and massive cap space we'd get in 2015. Again, if he flubs both chances he's not the right guy.
