DT is a first.

Nope OL, that's the difference from scoring an average 20.3 points instead of 28 points per game. The Ol is the engine of the offense, and since Green has to run for his life half the time the production of that side has dropped dramatically

Nope DT. It doesnt matter how many points we score if we cant stop the opponent. Havent you even been watching the Chiefs the last few years. We averaged 30+ points and never won a playoff game....

Give me an offensive tackle with the #1.

1. OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. This is glaring. Experienced OC that can run the offense and counter the conservative nature of Herm.

2. DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Gunther is not the guy to get the scabs we are going to be forced to keep due to the salary cap to play to the level that this team needs.

3. LEFT TACKLE. Goodbye Black.

4. RIGHT TACKLE. Goodbye Welbourne

5. DEFENSIVE TACKLE (2) Fire whatever stop gaps we're currently passing off as NFL defensive linemen.

6. OUTSIDE LINEBACKER. Goodbye Bell, thanks for nothing.

7. FREE SAFETY. Goodbye Wesley. Try Centerfield in the MLB. I hear the Royals are pretty desperate.

8. STRONG SAFETY. Sammy Knight, I have a tortoise that posted a faster 40 time than you. Time to move on.


I think we start there and see what happens.

it's all about balance currently the Defense is around 15th to 17th in the league, and if our QB can't get going it's strictly on OL for not allowing Trent going through is progressions. DT is a need, but with our OL Green might have another "Geathers incident

While a solid DT or two would really help the D, they have jumped up about 15 spots this year to #13 without one, and with Bell still at OLB.

The D is relatively young...Allen, Tamba, DJ, Mitchell, Page Pollard.

Offensively, we have 3 good players under the age of 30. Two of them are Running Backs.

This offense needs linemen in the worst way.

I can see the interior holding up a couple of more years. I mean Bober looked alright when he came in for a couple of games and Waters is one of the top players in the league at his position, they are both 29 right? Weigman is growing really old.

Are we really looking for Direct impact players or people we can turn into franchise players? We cant change everything at the same time.

We're going to be stunningly bad for several years when the exodus happens (Green, Shields, Gonzo, the entire secondary, etc etc etc)..
So try this on for a change- draft people that have at least a snowball's chance in Hell of competing in the NFL.
PLEASE no Junior Siavii's or Ryan Sims or abortions like those people.

I'm going to leave OLB off on the hope that Fox develops.

12-18-2006, 02:10 AM
We can have Black or Wellbourne stay around for the OG...that's their natural position. We also don't know how good Stallings may or may not be there. We need 1 and most likely 2 tackles, however. I'm wary about trusting Terry. We need a new center, Wiegmann is horrendous against large DE's. DT is a priority. MLB...while Kawika is disappointing to me, I don't think we can get much better by letting him go. We shouldn't overpay for him, but we shouldn't just jettison him either. We definitely need to spend some mid round picks on CBs. I just hope we can get one more year out of Law and two from Surtain.

Tribal Warfare
12-18-2006, 12:22 PM
DT Amobi Okoye is really appealing as a 1st round prospect besides the obvious suspects in the USC players Sam Baker or Dwayne Jarrett.

Okoye plays like an in-shape Warren Sapp in his prime. Great at getting to the QB and stuffing the run.

This isnt going to be a very popular idea.....but I'd trade LJ for a top notch LT or RT and draft picks. Unfortunately those types of trades just dont happen in the NFL. I have always been a believer that while a RB can be a super freak athlete (LaDainian), most RB's are a product of a system. If by trading LJ, we can shorten the inevitable rebuilding process.....I'd do it. Because we are going to be up a creek without a paddle when the middle of our O-Line, Trent, Kennison, Gonzo, and all of this high dollar secondary is gone.

Of that list, Allen and Tynes are about the only two I'd be really upset with losing.

Don't forget Gonzo either. Technically, with him voiding his contract, he should be on the list too. And I'm starting to have mixed feelings on losing Gonzo. I understand he wants to win - and win it all. I seriously doubt we will be able to do so soon enough for him. If he can go someplace else other than an AFC west team and had a legit shot as winning a SB Ring, I'd probably be sad for us but happy for him. Kinda sad to be possibly the best TE to ever play the game and not have a ring.

1. I think Green may retire. I would prefer if the Chiefs could trade him and get a pick. I also hope they can trade Dante as he looks completely lost without his old coaches.
2. I think a tweener DE/OLB would help alleviate some of the pressure on Hali and Allen. An extra guy to relieve them, like the Bears using Anderson.
3. KM, I'm not too sure about. He might get a better offer elsewhere since the free agent LB pool looks very shallow.
4. As far as safety goes. I don't think Gretz thought up the idea on his own that the Chiefs might move Pollard to OLB next year. As much as the Chiefs need OL and DL help, if they could land someone like Reggie Nelson it would improve the attitude and play of the DBs.

1. Man would that be ideal!

2. I'd go for that. I thought maybe you were looking more for a DE, I'd love to have a hybrid guy that we could get some additional pressure with.

3. That's the one thing. I'd like to keep him, but not for alot of money.

4. Good point. I want to see Pollard on the field. But if he can make a contribution at OLB instead of S, so be it.

I think you're going overboard:

QB: if Green is gone, I say we'll re-sign Huard for a year or two and promote Croyle to #2. No real immediate need

FB: Cruz isn't that bad and Wilson has been doing fine. Between those two this is a non-need

TE: If Tony leaves, then I say use a combo of Dunn for blocking and Wilson for receiving. this would put Cruz back at fullback. either way, not a need

OT: Black would be serviceable at right tackle and solid at guard. But I agree, left tackle is one of the top needs. ideally, a new stud LT, someone (Svitek? Terry?) step up at RT and Black at RG (if Shields retires, if not Black at RT). But yes OT is a huge need

OG: I don't think guard is a huge need. If shields returns, then we're set with Waters and Shields for another year. if shields quits, then Black should be RG and RT is a need. either way, not a top need.

WR: I don't think we need 3. Kennison is a fine #2, and Parker is a decent #3. Webb could also figure in as a 3rd or 4th. A #1 legitimate Wideout though is a huge need.

DE: We have Allen and Hali. sure we could use a little depth since Hicks is about as capable of getting to the QB as I am, but I would hardly count this as a huge need. A reserve DE can be picked up late in the draft or for cheap in FA. Not a big need

DT: I agree we need at least one Defensive tackle. I like what I saw of Wilkerson and would be fine with him and a new stud starting. Reed and Edwards would be fine backups to rotate in. Sims should pack his bags.

MLB: Kawika is sold. not Ray Lewis or Brian Urlacher. But decent. I wouldn't be against an upgrade, but I can live with KM.

OLB: Johnson and Fox will be fine. Griffin isn't a bad backup. we're OK there.

CB: we need a young one. Surtain and Law are fine for the next year (or two max) but we need to be grooming someone to replace them.

S: Are you kidding? Page and Pollard look like players. We are fine here.

So i think we have 3 MAJOR needs, WR, LT, and DT. The rest are players we could use. Remember, no team is loaded everywhere. every team has flaws. if we fix those 3 i think we'll be fine.

QB: Who says Huard wants to stay? Who says his asking price is right for the Chiefs?

FB: Wilson is playing well, but no position is a "non-need".

TE: Wilson's improvement at FB says to me one thing -- he's not an effective TE. I've always thought he was an H-back type and I'd prefer to keep him there.

OT: If Chris Terry can step up, fine. Otherwise, the rest of them can WALK.

OG: I used to think this, I'm not firmly convinced that any OL "solution" that includes Jordan Black is not a solution at all.

WR: Kennison could retire. Relying on Webb at this point is folly. At best, we have Samie Parker - oh hell, that's a scary thought.

DE: I agree with you, which is why I asked for clarification. He's not advocating replacing Allen or Hali, but rather complementing them with a Derrick Thomas-type.

DT: I think we really need two. Although Wilkerson has played well in spurts, he's really not a DT.

MLB: agreed

OLB: I'm not so sure anymore that we're "fine" with Fox. He has a nose for the ball, but he's a poor tackler.

CB: IMO, we need two.

S: He wasn't kidding. There's been hints from the Chiefs that they're looking to move Pollard to OLB. Which means we need another S.

O.K., hypothetical situation: The top 3 players in all three of those Idenitifed needs are still on the board and you are on the clock for the Chiefs, which do you pick?

probably the LT because they're the hardest to find IMO

in the draft my pipe dream is Sam Baker, but KC will most likely get either Okoye or Jarrett.

I think our defense is in FAR better shape then our offense. We need offensive line help BAD. We really need 2 tackles a guard(shields retiring) and a center. Weigmann is not fit for the power run game, tis obvious. Game is won and lost up front, it was quite obvious last night. We need a few quality FA's and get a new OLINE going, which may take time. We may have just Waters and the rest new guys, who knows next year. The D i think will be ok, imo. Get a real Def. Coord. Those young safeties will kick some ass when they start next year. Just get a real DT and they may be tons better. The offense is my main concern. We may need a new coord. one that isn't so damn OBVIOUS and takes LJ out of the game for Dee ****ing Brown.

I don't disagree, but you're going to have to get Herm's hands off the offense though, Mr. Sure-Oz.

He'll keep us in the shitter and he has a very bad case of the runs.

He really should've left it alone, you don't try to fix something that isn't broke. We'll see....all i know is that OLINE def. isnt the same as in past years.

I'm becoming more skeptical of Mitchell...he had some bad misses last night, on plays where he was in position...we need to find a vet LB to push him or to play OLB (sorry, Mr. Can't Tackle Fox)

I'm also starting to wonder if WR isn't as big a need as DT?? (OL being the clear #1 priority)

we have to get a playmaker somehow at WR, for LJ and our QB's sake...

OL
WR
DT
LB/CB
S

I totally understand the o-line issue, Mr. Sure-Oz. I really do. I swear.

According to the CSI-Vegas staff, this particular horse his died a thousand deaths from merciless and incessant board beatings, but Herm's offensive plan isn't helping this o-line one bit. If anything, it's making matters worse.

When Hermie was hired, I liked what he said about "playing the best players", "knowing what your players do best", etc. Unfortunately, his super genius game plans are exposing our known weaknesses and diminishing the contributions our more skilled players can make. I haven't kept count, but one example of this is the number of times our offense has been in obvious passing situations because the calls on 1st and 2nd down put us there.

I 100% agree, no imagination to this offense at all this year. Is it that hard to look at the past few years and realize we dont need to always...

run, run pass? It was too obvious, crazy what a diff. a year can make.
