add QB to practice squad:

G TRE STALLINGS PROMOTED TO 53-MAN ROSTER, GREENE ADDED TO PS



Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Thursday that the club has agreed to terms of a three-year contract with G Tre Stallings, adding him to the club’s 53-man roster from the practice squad. Per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available. In addition, Kansas City added QB David Greene to the practice squad.



Stallings (6-3, 315) originally joined the Chiefs as the first of their two sixth-round picks (186th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. He was on Kansas City’s 53-man roster during the entire 2006 campaign, but was inactive for all 16 contests. He attended training camp with the Chiefs in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the season. Stallings joined the club’s practice squad on October 3rd.

Stallings started 48 consecutive games at Ole Miss, drawing 29 starting assignments at left tackle and 19 at right tackle. His 48 starts tie him with G/T Marcus Johnson for the most in Rebels history. Stallings prepped at South Pike High School in Magnolia, Mississippi.



Greene (6-3, 226) originally entered the NFL as the first of Seattle’s two third-round picks (85th overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft and served as the club’s third quarterback for 16 regular season contests and three postseason games, including Super Bowl XL. He was inactive for 12 games in 2006 as the Seahawks third quarterback and saw duty as the Seattle’s back-up quarterback for four contests. Greene attended training camp with the Seahawks in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He joined New England’s practice squad on September 19th before being released on November 20th.

Greene started an NCAA-record 52 consecutive games at the University of Georgia, becoming the winningest quarterback in NCAA Division I history with 42 career victories, surpassing QB Peyton Manning’s record of 39. He prepped at South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, Georgia.

Hooray?

[chiefforlife]

Good news, thanks for posting. I wondered why we Wernt promoting some Olineman with the sad state of our Oline.

[chagrin]

May be a dumb question but does anyone here have any direct knowledge of Greene, like have you seen the guy in action? I mean a 4 year starter at Georgia has to count for something; and no I am not at all touting him as a starter I just am looking for some info, if anyone has it

[Chiefnj2]

David Greene. Perhaps the best play-action ever:

The former Bulldog QB will most likely not last long. Though nifty in college; he most likely will never do much in the NFL. A shame though, good kid.

[Megbert]

Print em???

[DaKCMan AP]

I watched David Greene his last couple of years at Georgia. Honestly, don't mean to be so mean to the guy, but he reminds me of a little stronger-armed, younger Damon Huard.

I know, that sounds bad!

[DJ's left nut]

So a little younger Trent Green.

[RustShack]

Start him at RG, and Taylor at RT!

The receiver did a great job of selling that too.

[RustShack]

Having only 2 QB's on the roster isn't too good of an idea. Especially if Croyle isn't 100%, and Huard will give up on us if he doesn't get hurt. I can't believe Thigpen is on the IR already.

Thats pretty impressive.

[Mecca]

It's impressive till you realize all the NFL talent David Greene played with....

He didn't throw Int's but in general he has a pretty weak arm and is really bad when asked to throw the ball long, unless the guy is wide open like in that youtube link.

David Greene is like a left handed Damon Huard, which on a college team loaded with talent won a lot of games.

So hes basically Ken Dorsey

Pretty much, I think his arm is a little better than that. Think a slightly more physically talented Dorsey, because he doesn't have the rail thin build either.

Defense, not offense.

[Mecca]

Really so guys like Musa Smith and Reggie Brown weren't first day draft picks?

[Chiefnj2]

Musa Smith has panned out?

[Mecca]

Musa Smith has panned out?

That really has nothing to do with how productive he was in college.....the Ravens used a 2nd rounder on him to basically be a backup which turned out to not be bright.

He played with tons of NFL talent that's the point, guys like Leonard Pope, hell Fred Gibson had NFL talent he just isn't in the league cause he has a rock head.

[Frosty]

David Greene was absolutely brutal with the Seahawks. There is a reason they dumped him for Charlie Frye.

[jagerdrinker]

They could put freakin' Gene Stallings in on the O-line and it would be an upgrade.

[Braincase]

At this point, we just need QB's, and at the rate they're falling, Greene might be the starter vs. the Jets.

well I'm sure Damon Huard would make a great college QB...if Huard was in college, he'd probably win the Heisman ROFL

[KCJohnny]

Thats pretty impressive.

Winning counts. I gives a dang if you look like Huard or not.

Winning in college does not equal winning/success in the NFL. Look at Ken Dorsey, Eric Crouch, Jason White and many, many others.

Ever heard of a losing college QB who succeeded in the NFL?

[DaKCMan AP]

Ever heard of a losing college QB who succeeded in the NFL?

Yeah, what's your point? Have you even seen David Greene play?

[penguinz]

Ever heard of a losing college QB who succeeded in the NFL?Tom Brady was 20-25 as a starter in college. ;)

[Pitt Gorilla]

Ever heard of a losing college QB who succeeded in the NFL?I don't know if Cutler has succeeded, but his college team was pretty bad.

[KCJohnny]

I don't know if Cutler has succeeded, but his college team was pretty bad.

I would say Cutler has been a success to this point. He is right about where Palmer and Leinart were in their 1st year of starting.

[DaneMcCloud]

Jay Cutler.

Though IMO, the jury's still way out on this one.

[Micjones]

It'd be great if Stallings can show-and-prove.
That would make the Offensive Line overhaul one (more) player shorter.

I think Niswanger will take over at Center.

[Easy 6]

Its about damn time we found out what Stallings is made of, i cant believe they waited this long.

I can it's the Carl Peterson way.

[Hammock Parties]

If Tre Stallings, Svitek and Herb Taylor play well in the last month, the coaches at Arrowhead have some major egg on their face. Matsko/Solari should be fired over it.
