This year's secret weapon will be...

[Braincase]

...who?

Connor Barth?

Brad Cottam?

Bobby Sippio?

Mike Cox?

(There's an entire thread where Niswanger blocks Sainy-Dic to open up a big hole for Cox waiting to happen)

And our QB's nickname when he screws up - Groty Boil.

[Pablo]

Cottam without a doubt. Dude's what some folks hoped Bigfoot could be.

[talastan]

Please refrain from the secret weapon references....I had enough of that with Bigfoot and I hope no one from the Chiefs ever repeats the dissapointment he represented.

1000 catches for 60 total yds. (Okay not realistic, but you get the picture. :) )

[chiefs1111]

Barth or Sippio

[Fish]

Charles. He's gonna bust off a few 50-75 yarders....

[chagrin]

Oh no, are they bringing back Jesse Haynes?

[Thig Lyfe]

SIPPIO, BITCHES!

[Mr. Kotter]

Oh no, are they bringing back Jesse Haynes?

No, no....I'm waiting for the Ted White hand-offs to Brian Shays, baby!!!

;)

[Priest31kc]

Charles or Franklin, both bring game breaking speed to the offense, and Cottam is really fast for a TE. We have a fast offense now. sweet.

[blueballs]

savage for the return

[Mr. Kotter]

Charles. He's gonna bust off a few 50-75 yarders....

Yup.

Charles is gonna give LJ another reason to get his ass movin'. :thumb:

Don't be surprised to see Kolby Smith sent to somebody for draft picks next year.

[Shaid]

Yup.

Don't be surprised to see Kolby Smith sent to somebody for draft picks next year.

I was thinking the exact same thing. He's our cast off this year since we have some nice RB depth and he's actually played in the NFL a little.

[Mr. Kotter]

Yup. Keep an eye out for the first playoff contender to lose a RB to injury...I'd bet a twelve-pak their personnel people will be talking to ours within a couple of days.

[irishjayhawk]

I'm pretty sure it will be Cottam but Charles wouldn't be a bad choice. I like Cottam because in the Red Zone it gives us two legit TE options.

[KCJohnny]

Cottam was brought in to block. What a pleasant surprise that grabbed 3 recs for 33 yds. Nice.

I thought that's what they were doing with the other TE Michael Merritt.

[KCJohnny]

Cottam seems to be another Todd Heap. NICE. :D
He can block like Jason Dunn but he has soft hands and runs after the catch.

[Chief Faithful]

Rookies Flowers, Cottam, Charles, Franklin and Carr all showed last night they are going to be big contributors this year. For a rebuilding team there were a whole lot of positives last night.

[StcChief]

Cottam heir apparent for Gonzo.... nice draft pick.

[Molitoth]

Charles.

[Chief Faithful]

I thought that's what they were doing with the other TE Michael Merritt.

On draft day Kuharich, Peterson and Herm all called Cottam the Jason Dunn replacement. Kuharich said on Merritt is he was the highest rated player on the board at their last pick, but I get the impression the Chiefs would like to have that pick back.

Cottam didnt even catch many passes in college. Hes a real raw talent and definately has the size.

[RockChalk]

Scanlon

[Chief Faithful]

I was soooo excited on draft day when they picked Cottam. There was not way I thought he would be available in the 3rd round. So many of us on this board were so pleased on draft day and after last night I'm even more pleased. No way did I think Flowers, Cottam, Charles and Franklin would look that good in their first preseason game.

[Bob Dole]

It's not a secret if you tell everyone.

Dipshits.

[Chief Faithful]

Not as raw as some people think. He was not a hidden gem waiting to be discovered he was well known by NFL teams. I watched him in the rookie draft camp and he was receiving a lot of attention.

[Anyong Bluth]

Croyle

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Sippio--the black Tom Waddle.

[Demonpenz]

It is just hard to get a ball to a TE in college. Hell there were some games where Rucker o or #45 for Missouri only got looked at 3 or 4 times

[Pablo]

It is just hard to get a ball to a TE in college. Hell there were some games where Rucker o or #45 for Missouri only got looked at 3 or 4 timesThat's just because Chase Daniels couldn't see over his line to get the ball to them.

[Idahojim]

I liked what I saw out of Will Franklin last night. This guy might prove to be the next surprise wide receiver. He certainly appears to have Brody Croyle's trust very early.

[Braincase]

Dipshits.

Maybe we're performing a role in helping to disguise the REAL secret weapon.

[Rausch]

He's only a shock to non-MU fans.

He's got the speed and nature to be a solid no 2 guy in the NFL. He should be.

I'm going with Cox.

Plus, I enjoy saying "Hows Mike Cox taste?" :evil:

[dorseybowe]

Plus, I enjoy saying "Hows Mike Cox taste?" :evil:

Eww :shake:

[KCKID58]

Ok I need to say this as manly as I can . " I like COX" .
I like what I seen from this kid so far....

I also think Sippio and Franklin might surprise us all..

[dorseybowe]

That wasn't very manly. :D

[dorseybowe]

No doubt. The addition of a true fullback will help tremendously.

So, at practice, Niswanger is a Cox blocker that practices beating off Saint-Dic? Maybe opening up a big hole for the Johnson?

Blame Peterson. Perhaps he's got a manseggs fetish...

Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy are going straight up the ass of the competition! Whoo Whoo!

[CosmicPal]

Offensive weapon: Jamaal Charles.

He will be a major factor on our third downs. If he wins the return job on kick-offs, we'll see a much better play there as well.

Offensive weapon that will score a few TD's this year because of his size and secrecy: Brad Cottom. Get him and TG in the end zones together and not very many DB's will be able to come down with the ball.

Defensive weapon: Brandon Flowers.

Showed a lot of maturity last night and did pretty good albeit it was a weak Chicago receiving tandem.

[The Franchise]

Will Franklin.

[RustShack]

He didn't do anything last night.. but DVD!

[boogblaster]

Not to be a homer but .... most of the ROOKS looked good last nite ... but I'm going with the TE ... Big kid with good hands ....

[Anyong Bluth]

Albert!

Bringing back the Joe Valerio Tackle Eligible trick play that will net him Eleventy Touchdowns and win everyone that picks him up in their fantasy league.

[Kylo Ren]

Sippio won't be on the roster.

[Anyong Bluth]

Sippio won't be on the roster.


Based on the way that Franklin, Price played last night, he might not be?

Bowe and Webb probably are a lock, so B.Sips might need to step it up!!

[Rausch]

Price was ****ing money.

He needs a spot...

[rad]

But, Sippio scored the game-winning TD!!

Cottam was drafted for the sole purpose of hoisting LJ in the endzone for the Rock.

[Priest31kc]

its gunna be between price and sippio for the final spot, who do you want and think will win??

i think Sip will win it, but i kinda want Price to win just because he looks a little faster than Sip.

[MOhillbilly]

Charles body type on the idiot box reminds me of a smaller vanover.

[Micjones]

Price was ****ing money.

He needs a spot...

Hopefully he'll continue to produce.
I was definitely impressed by the kid last night.

Give him Jeff Webb's spot. He hasn't done much.

[kcfanXIII]

i'm all for tossing webb aside. the guy has shown nothing. i think i would have prefered stone hands "nowutimsayin" parker. keep sippio, get rid of webb.

[J Diddy]

sip's gone

maybe webb
dunno
I think bowe, franklin, darling, webb, price

[Micjones]

Will Franklin.

[J Diddy]

Will Franklin.
**** yea

[Rausch]

I was a Webb fan based on potential.

Price took his chace and shined. He produced. He didn't show why we should have hope for his talent he DID IT.

Caught the ball, scored, showed desire, made plays.

End of story to me.

Keep him at the bottom of the rotation and keep him hungry. But keep him...

[StcChief]

Will Franklin.MO butts in the seats /King Carl

[RustShack]

So what about Robinson if he ever comes back from injury and can win the return job... does he kick a WR off the roster? I would keep Price and Sippio over Webb.

[J Diddy]

i think he moves webb out if he can play any wr and return

[RustShack]

So when is Robinson going to be able to practice and play?

[KCrockaholic]

Jamaal Charles. end of story

[blueballs]

since Frankin is known as helicopter
and is black
he may be silent and deadly

[Rain Man]

It would appear that Mike Merritt is already halfway there on the secret weapon moniker.

[JuicesFlowing]

If our field goal kicker is our secret weapon, then season over. That would be awful, unless he's going to kick 10 field goals each game (and has 60-70 yd range) ...

[evolve27]

Easy. Sippio. Don't be fooled by so called "lack of seperation". Croyle needs a good passing year so Sippio will emerge.

[chiefs1111]

Jamaal Charles. end of story

Yeah,I think he's going to be awsome for us this year.

[crazycoffey]

Scanlon


what was his number?
I mentioned to Warpath (we just watched the replay a few hours ago) that number 52 Kuana - looked pretty good on kickoffs, but totally lost while playing LB - could be the new Scanlon.....

[crazycoffey]

Oh, and my "secret weapon" vote goes to Chan....

[Sfeihc]

Charles fo' sho.

[Chiefaholic]

IMO... Franklin will have a solid year if the O-Line stays intact and gells a bit. I believe he'll play above the level expected from a 4th round selection and become a solid #2 WR by seasons end. From what I've seen so far, the depth chart should be Bowe, Franklin, Price, Webb, and a toss-up between Darling and Robinson. The #5 spot will be decided by ST contributions.

I think the depth chart at HB will be the suprise this year. LJ obviously will be the #1 guy. But, Jamal Charles will make one hell of a change of pace back similiar to the Dunn / Alstott combo Tampa had a few years back (Thunder and Lightning). The Chiefs might have shown too much of Dantrell Savage to sneak him onto the practice squad. His performance agaist the Bears will have several clubs looking at him and he'll never clear waivers. I look for the Chiefs to keep him as the #3 HB, cut Battle, and trade Kolby Smith to somebody with a preseason injury befor week 1.

At TE, it's SWEET to see Cottam in there punishing LB in the running game and respectable hands to force teams to take pressure off TG. They'll make the perfect combo for Chan's offense in two TE sets.

At DE, Boone is a failed experiment. He looked like somebody hit the slow motion button when rushing the passer. Brian Johnston better pan out, or our defensive strength could turn out to be out weakness this season. And Hali was getting mauled by their LT time and time again. Even if Dorsey becomes the beast all the experts believe he will, all it takes is one man to shut down Hali. At best, Tamba gets 10 sacks this season if Dorsey collapses the pocket consistantly.

At DT.... We don't have shit outside a hope Dorsey lives up to his potential. The Bears destroyed our interior line first, second, and third string.

At LB, DJ made some pretty sweet plays, yet Goonthur hasn't taught these pussies to stay in their gap and TACKLE. It's basic fundamental football taught in Pop Warner football. This bumping a guy with your shoulder shit and expecting him to just fall down is bullcrap. If the experienced vets are worried about an injury by wrapping up and driving their shoulders into their gut, then put the rookies in there who are hungry to EARN their position.

At Safty, Pollard better be looking over his shoulder, because Morgan knows how to tackle and deliver a hit that makes WR's regret catching the ball over the middle.

At CB, Flowers looks to be what we expected out of the draft and Carr might take over Surtains position by mid season. Patricks lost a couple steps and needs to be demoted to nickle as soon as Carr is ready to step up.
