I searched and couldn't find anything on this which I find unusual for around here. So if it's a repost I apologize and MODS please delete. Turley did an interview saying he was getting ready to resign?

Kyle Turley Announces that he will sign with the Kansas Chiefs on Hardcore Sports Radio
Posted by Aaron Bronsteter

In one of the most hardcore interviews that have appeared on Hardcore Sports Radio, Kyle Turley announced that he would sign a contract on Friday morning with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Click here to check out the interview in full.

Turley also had some choice words about Mike Martz and if you are interested in hearing an athlete who absolutely tells it like it is and perpetuates what Hardcore Sports Radio is about, this is not to be missed.

Today, Hardcore Sports Radio was the first radio station to break that Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca were tested positive for steroids this afternoon and in the evening, more breaking news with the Turley signing.

I know it's been rumored that he's put on some playing weight. But I dunno. We'll see.

It's impossible to put on 30lbs of muscle weight in a year let alone 6 months, naturally.

I guess it depends on what he was truly playing at last year. He's supposed to be up to 302 pounds. Of course if he started last offseason at 265 and has been slowly working his way back up, I think that's feasible, don't you? He was supposed to be gaining weight all through the regular season.

It makes sense, I understood when he first came back into the league he was going for a blocking TE spot. Then he had to become a LT/RT again w/ KC. He may have been hurt a good portion of the time, but that doesn't mean he wasn't still hitting the weights he could hit.

It sucks the guy is injury prone though.

Depends what kind of weight it is in all honesty.....if it's mostly just "weight" as in any weight including not all "good weight" and includes fat sure then it's possible.

It's impossible to gain 20lbs of muscle in a year naturally...in 6 months at his age naturally he could probably gain 5-7lbs of muscle and that's at extremely hard work levels at the very top of the gain chart.

Or he found some clear and wala......All well either way the weights there who cares.

I have seen guys playing football and training put on 50# in a year training like these guys do. Quit talking out of your ass. 30# in a year is a piece of cake if you are training hard. I'm not saying the guy is not on roids, but post with some intellegence.

You weren't over 30 years of age at the time.......a younger male has a higher level of HGH and Testosterone in the system naturally.....30 in a year even for someone in the prime of years and working out is extremely rare and very very difficult to do.

I don't believe a 30 year old man can gain 30lbs of muscle weight in 6 months......I don't believe he could do it in a year.

I think he is alot better at RT than he is at LT, and I think he would be a slight upgrade over Terry. Either way I am confident in both players to start and I really like the move incase one of them gets hurt. I think Turley should be the starter at RT this year.

I simply can't see the use of this signing.

Turley's not durable enough to prove he should start. Terry's durable enough to play the whole season, and if he goes down I think we'd be better served giving one of our young guys time (Svitek, Sampson, Taylor, or Pruneda) than putting in a veteran guy who hasn't proven his durability, and yet another old guy in the twilight of his career.

I'd be open-minded to him competing in camp, but I would seriously prefer he not make the team.

Something like that. Dunn had a couple back surgeries or something this offseason. He's not in great shape from what I've heard. And I know someone who actually KNOWS the guy. I'll be surprised if he makes it through TC.

A retro 300 pound Turley that is healthy would be a monster addition to any team....If he can regain 50% of his power and agility of his prime, he would be an incredible addition to the Chiefs O-Line....

Prolly a pipe dream on my part though....

07-20-2007, 11:41 PM

I'm sorry, but we've been burnt by his lack of durability.

Between him and Sampson getting injured, and Terry and Welbourn returning to football, RT was a mess last season. Talent should matter the most, but durability is extremely important for this offensive line -- Terry's proven that he's very durable. I don't see any reason to put Turley on the team.

You sign experienced veteran backups on the O-Line if you think you have a legitimate shot at a real playoff run.

If you don't, you stick with young guys and try to develop them.

The Chiefs aren't going anywhere, so there's no benefit in signing a washed up vet like Turley.

So my friend, you think after 18 years C.P. is in total rebuild mode? At no point since I have watched the Chiefs, which I admit is very short compared to you, have I ever gotten the impression from C.P. or the staff, that they (The Chief's) did not feel they have a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

I agree with your point but, The Chief's under C.P or even Herman *******edwards, will never completly rebuild with youth....Not gonna happen...They are too proud for that...

Turley said he wants to sign with a team that will start him at RT, chances are that if the Chiefs are signing him they must plan on him starting. Terry is a vetran and IF Turley does get hurt he can step into the line up no problems. I didn't like Turley at LT, but he is back up to 302 pounds now and I think he is a much better RT. McIntosh Waters Weigmann Welborn Turley- sounds great to me.

You have vets in place on the O-Line, with Terry, McIntosh, Waters, Wellbourne and Wiegman, as wel as Bober.

Turley is a shell of his former self, and with his back issues, he isn't likley to hold up.

So spending money on him is a waste of money, IMO.

Let the young guys develop and find out what you have so that we know exactly what are needs are in the next offseason.

Carl isn't in rebuild mode, but he is retooling, and signing Turley is simply counterproductive in that effort.

But the main young guy they want to see develop is Brodie Croyle. In the event of an injury, I don't think they're going to throw young offensive linemen out there to "see what they've got" if it means that Croyle won't be protected as well. Turley's a decent second option if a starter goes down and they want to keep Brodie off the turf as much as possible.

Yeah, he's a decent second option in that scenario, except of course for the fact that his back will be lucky to hold up for a game or two, in which case you'll be stuck with some (other) scrub off the scrap heap "protecting" Croyle.
