Projecting the 53-Man Roster - SIPPIO MAKES THE CUT!

[Hammock Parties]

http://kan.scout.com/2/784418.html

Offense (25)

QB (3) - Brodie Croyle (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698850), Damon Huard (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698859), Tyler Thigpen.

RB (4) – Larry Johnson, Kolby Smith (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698874), Jamaal Charles (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3723954), Dantrell Savage (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3049240).

FB (1) - Mike Cox.

WR (5) – Dwayne Bowe (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698848), Devard Darling (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3263025), Will Franklin (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=2974804), Jeff Webb (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698881), Bobby Sippio (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698873).

TE (3) – Tony Gonzalez (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698854), Brad Cottam (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3723957), John Paul (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=1833466) Foschi.

OL (9) - Branden Albert (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3542598), Herb Taylor, Brian Waters (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698880), Tre Stallings, Rudy Niswanger, Wade Smith (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3037226), Adrian Jones (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698862), Damion McIntosh (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698866), Barry Richardson (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3724381).

Summary: The only notable cuts here are running back Jackie Battle (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698846) and tight end Michael Allan (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698842). Both are good players, but there are better options for the Chiefs. One offensive lineman who had been impressive early was Edwin Harrison (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3100952), but the Chiefs are already heavy at offensive line due to Branden Albert’s injury. The other player on the outside looking in is wide receiver Maurice Price, who was hit by a late injury. He was steady, but with Franklin out, Sippio gets the nod over Price.

Defense (24)

DL (8) - Turk McBride (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698864), Alfonso Boone (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698847), Tank Tyler, Ron Edwards (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698853), Glenn Dorsey (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3722647), T.J. Jackson, Tamba Hali (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698856), Brian Johnston (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3724390).

LB (6) – Donnie Edwards (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698852), Demorrio Williams (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3243092), Pat Thomas, Napoleon Harris (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698857), Weston Dacus (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3295466), Derrick Johnson (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698860).

CB (6) - Patrick Surtain (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698875), Brandon Carr (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3724379), Tyron Brackenridge, Brandon Flowers (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3723953), Dimitri Patterson (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698869), Maurice Leggett.

S (4) - Bernard Pollard (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698871), DaJuan Morgan (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3723961), Jarrad Page (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698868), Jon McGraw (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3698865).

Summary: There’s room to add another linebacker depending on if the Chiefs keep Napoleon Harris. Other than that, there are no surprises in this group. One possible fight for a final roster spot may come down to the age of Jackson over Edwards at defensive tackle. Jackson won’t slide to the practice squad, as he’s too good a player and prospect.

Special Teams (4)

Punter - Dustin Colquitt (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=2980109)
Deep Snapper - Jean-Phillipe Darche
Kicker - Connor Barth (http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=3267000)
Returner - B.J. Sams.

Summary: Even with the hamstring injury to Sams, the Chiefs may be forced to keep him as insurance in the event Dantrell Savage does not get the job done as the primary return man. Jamaal Charles may be better suited to handle kickoffs, but Sams is the best option at the moment. He was solid Thursday against the Rams, but his injury could keep him out a few weeks.

<script> var premiumFlag = 0; </script> <!--end STORY DISPLAY-->

[Mecca]

Ugh.....If they're keeping Savage no reason to keep Sams and I don't like keeping 6 CB's either....

Price deserves to make the team.

[KcMizzou]

No way we keep both Sams and Savage.

[kcchiefsus]

I don't like the idea of having only 3 true defensive ends on the roster (Johnston, Hali, McBride). Instead of carrying 6 cornerbacks I would rather have 9 DL with an additional defensive end. I really have no clue if any of our other young defensive ends are deserving of a roster spot but I do know that having only 1 backup for both outside spots is very worrisome. One injury and we are down to no backups at DE.

edit: I would also take Price over Sippio. I have never really seen the Sippio love with the fans, he has done absolutely nothing with the Chiefs. Price has looked alot better and he has alot more speed than Sippio.

[Hammock Parties]

Boone is the backup LDE, Chiefsus.

Price is hurt at the moment. So is Franklin. They can't go to New England with three healthy wide receivers.

[Mecca]

Yea that's pretty sad to have a big fat tackle as a end.

[Hammock Parties]

Yea that's pretty sad to have a big fat tackle as a end.

Yeah, we suck. Hardcore.

[Silock]

No fullback? Seriously?

[Hammock Parties]

No fullback? Seriously?

How embarrassing. I will correct Nick's mistake.

[Mecca]

Uh oh he didn't give my cocks a spot........and Carl was talking about keeping 2 which would be retarded.

[Silock]

How embarrassing. I will correct Nick's mistake.

Man, if I had a nickle...

[Mecca]

Man, if I had a nickle...

He was busy stroking his beard.

[Pablo]

So, have I just missed it..or did Merritt get cut?

[Hammock Parties]

So, have I just missed it..or did Merritt get cut?

I believe he's on PUP.

Also, there was no error. I challenge anyone to find an error. I was wrong, Cox was there from the beginning.

[Mecca]

If I was the Chiefs and I felt TJ Jackson earned a spot I'd cut Ron Edwards.

[KCJohnny]

Herm already said he would keep 4 RBs and 2 FBs.

Also, there is no way Maurice Price is cut.

[Mecca]

Keeping 2 FB's is just retarded.....the Chiefs are stuck in 1957.

[JuicesFlowing]

I had high hopes for Maurice Price ... too bad he got injured.

[TinyEvel]

I project that I will dip chips in guacamole and drink Bohemia.

That is all.

[Zouk]

Keeping 2 FB's is just retarded.....the Chiefs are stuck in 1957.

Let's play count the fullbacks:

I counted at least 2 on each of the Final 4 from last year.

Wasn't Neal on IR.....and the only reason a guy like Kyle Eckel played on the Pats was his special teams ability...so there are circumstances...

I'm sorry I just don't see the point in keeping more than 1, unless we have 2 outstanding guys who do numerous things, we don't.

[TinyEvel]

I believe Webb's ass is gone, and Price shall take his place

So, in essence, Webb's gonna pay the Price?

[KCJohnny]

I can't find any info on Price's injury. Anybody know?

[Zouk]

Wasn't Neal on IR......

According to that website, Neal played 13 games last year and Pinnock played 10, so they were both active at least some weeks.

[QUOTE]and the only reason a guy like Kyle Eckel played on the Pats was his special teams ability...[QUOTE]

As opposed to Chris Manderino, who would make the roster to carry our offense?

In any case, the Chiefs are clearly not unusual or "retarded" if they keep 2 fullbacks (which I predict they won't do anyway). And football has changed a lot less than you think it has.

[Mecca]

And how many do the Colts carry.......yea...

There have been numerous upon numerous pieces written on how the FB isn't used that much anymore, teams go to 3 wides or 2 tights or even have a TE play FB.

Of course didn't you say the Chiefs would win 6 or 7 games.

[kcchiefsus]

Boone is the backup LDE, Chiefsus.

Price is hurt at the moment. So is Franklin. They can't go to New England with three healthy wide receivers.

Like I said, true DE's. Our pass rush from the outside is already bad enough but if we lose any one of the three of Hali, McBride, or Johnston our ability to get to the QB from the outside is going to suffer. I would rather release Ron Edwards and keep an extra defensive end. I think we already know by now that the Boone at DE experiment has failed.

Perhaps we should leave Sippio on the roster and start Price out on PUP but I would rather have Price on the roster when he is available than Sippio.

[Hammock Parties]

Like I said, true DE's. Our pass rush from the outside is already bad enough but if we lose any one of the three of Hali, McBride, or Johnston our ability to get to the QB from the outside is going to suffer.

Actually that's a very good point. I kind of like Jason Parker...wonder if the Chiefs see anything in him.

I'm out of market so I haven't been able to catch any of the preseason games. Is Cox the clear preference at FB or are the two more on the same level? If they are similar, I could somewhat understand wanting to get more of a look at the two after having crappy FB play since Richardson left. If Cox is clearly the more promising player then keeping two FBs is pretty damn weak.

[kcchiefsus]

Actually that's a very good point. I kind of like Jason Parker...wonder if the Chiefs see anything in him.

I also like Johnny Dingle, I haven't watched alot of the preseason but I have heard his name a few times and I know he was a good pass rusher in college.

Cox is clearly the starter.

[Miles]

Cox is clearly the starter.

Kind of what it sounded like from the comments I have read here. With that I tend to agree with Mecca on keeping 2 FBs but it's also not a huge deal if it is at the expense of some other fringe guy that doesn't have much upside.

[Programmer]

Carl Peterson said last night, on ION TV, that the Chiefs are going to keep 6 backs, 4 RB's and 2 FB's. (Battle was mentioned).

[old_geezer]

I believe Webb's ass is gone, and Price shall take his place


I would only change that to say I HOPE Webb is gone and Price takes his place. I see far greater possibilities upside for Price. For that matter, I would keep Price over Sippio for the same reason. We are playing for the future - right?

[RedandGold]

Switch Savage for Battle, and I think you're close.

[philfree]

Carl Peterson said last night, on ION TV, that the Chiefs are going to keep 6 backs, 4 RB's and 2 FB's. (Battle was mentioned).

I think I put Battle on the roster as a FB and I make Savage the RS. We are so deep at RB but since we are going to be a running team I find a way to keep them all. It's a shame Price has the groin injury but I still think he makes the roster over Sippio. I don't see them practice but maybe he does great there but Darling has not even caught a pass in four preseason games. He was down blocking on Smiths first TD run though so maybe that's his thing. I guess we'll be keeping him regardless. I don't see why everybody is down on Webb. I keep Webb and Price and cut Sippio.

Getting back to FB. Cox has been really good this preseason and to me he is gonna be a big asset for us. It's true that FB is the forgotten position but things often run in cycles and I can see in a few years FBs coming back into vogue. If we depend on Cox as part of our basic offensive package then we need a back up. Battle isn't really a FB but he's big enough and can start learning now. Put Manderino on the practice squad if he's eligable. He'll stand a better chance of not being picked up by another team because his position is not in demand. If we need him we can always bring him up later.

I went with Battle over Manderino and Price over Sippio. Price out played Sippio over the full preseason. I know Battle doesn't play FB, but his talent level is higher than Manderino's.

This would be my first pass, but I'd be watching the waiver wire for DE, LB, and QB.

Specifically, I'd be watching the Eagles DE cuts (hoping for McDougal or Clemons), the Packers LB cuts (hoping for Abdul Hodge) and Miami's QB cuts (hoping for Beck).

[triple]

i think savage should make the team.

[BigRedChief]

Price will make the team.

Herm has said he's carrying 2 FB's.

You need to cut a corner and add price. And make another cut for FB,

[KevB]

Price will make the team.

Herm has said he's carrying 2 FB's.

You need to cut a corner and add price. And make another cut for FB,

Carl said yesterday on the radio they'd likely keep 10 DBs, so I think six corners is correct.

[Iowanian]

If you watched last night, you'd easily see why Mike Cox is a valuable player at FB. He did well in pass protection, opened nice holes and made downfield blocks in the running game and caught the ball and barrelled downfield.

I think Mandarino is a decent FB, but Cox is clearly the better player.

[Iowanian]

Why would they keep Harrison Alpha? He was HORRIBLE last night.

As for your watch list....I like ANY of those players.

[BigRedChief]

The final 53 from Adam Teicher

Heading into tonight’s final preseason game, this is how I see the Chiefs’ roster looking by Saturday night, after they’ve trimmed down to 53 players.

Give me some props if I’m right because I know if I’ll hear it if I’m wrong:

Quarterbacks (3): Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, Damon Huard. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Chiefs cut Huard. I’m not predicting it will happen. I’m just saying not to dismiss the possibility.

Running backs (5): Larry Johnson, Kolby Smith, Jamaal Charles, Jackie Battle, Chris Manderino. Battle over Dantrell Savage only because I don’t think the Chiefs are comfortable yet with Savage as their kickoff and punt returner. Manderino and Mike Cox are battling to be the fullback. This race is too close for me to call at this point. It might be too close for the Chiefs to call. But I have to make a decision and Manderino is it.

Tight end (3): Tony Gonzalez, Brad Cottam, John Paul Foschi. Foschi over Michael Allan because he can also be an H-back, allowing the Chiefs some extra versatility.

Wide receiver (5): Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Will Franklin, Jeff Webb, Maurice Price. The only thing that makes this decision difficult is Franklin’s knee injury. The Chiefs might opt to keep another receiver if he’s not going to be ready to play for a few more weeks. In that case, the Chiefs would keep Bobby Sippio, to the delight of billions.

Offensive line (9): Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Adrian Jones, Damion McIntosh, Herb Taylor, Wade Smith, Barry Richardson, Anthony Alabi. When Albert returns, Taylor is the first tackle off the bench. Smith is the first middle lineman off the bench. Richardson is their developmental lineman. Alabi can play both tackle and guard.

Defensive line (8): Turk McBride, Glenn Dorsey, Tank Tyler, Tamba Hali, Ron Edwards, T.J. Jackson, Alfonso Boone, Brian Johnston. Edwards and Jackson will play in the tackle rotation and Boone and Johnston in the end rotation.

Linebacker (7): Donnie Edwards, Pat Thomas, Derrick Johnson, Demorrio Williams, Napoleon Harris, Weston Dacus, LeRue Rumph. This is the most difficult position to predict by far. Dacus makes it because he’s at the head of the line among their young linebackers, Rumph because he’s fast and athletic. The point is moot because the Chiefs are certain to claim at least one linebacker off waivers when other teams have to cut.

Defensive back (9): Brandon Flowers, Pat Surtain, Brandon Carr, Dimitri Patterson, Tyron Brackenridge, Jarrad Page, Bernard Pollard, Jon McGraw, DaJuan Morgan. Rashad Barksdale could squeeze in here as one of the extra cornerbacks. Rookie cornerback Maurice Leggett made his share of plays but more likely will wind up on the practice squad.

Specialists (4): Nick Novak, Dustin Colquitt, J.P. Darche, B.J. Sams. Novak’s battle with Connor Barth is too close to call. There appears to be little separating them in the Chiefs’ minds. If they could have made this call, they would have sent one of them packing instead when they cut Jay Feely. I just think the experience will push the thing in Novak’s favor. I’m already regretting my decision to have them keep Sams. It’s going against my instinct. Everything I’ve seen during the preseason tells me Savage will be their returner instead of Sams. But that’s one job they simply can’t trust to an untested rooki

[Kylo Ren]

I'd rather keep 1 FB and keep Battle as a RB/FB.

[StcChief]

I'd rather keep 1 FB and keep Battle as a RB/FB.
yep. my thoughts too.... makes sense to have "utility" approach with players

[Extra Point]

Darling isn't as capable as Sippio. Charles should be catching the rock on special teams.

This is how I envision the roster looking like. CP even stated in the booth last night that they are interested in Battle being a FB. I couldn't believe us give up Battle or Savage. I really don't think they will clear waivers. Besides Sams had one good return. Battle had a couple but made some rookie mistakes. More upside to keeping Battle over Sams. Herm knows we are building for the future...

[triple]

If sams makes the team i am going to be very mad

[Messier]

Ugh.....If they're keeping Savage no reason to keep Sams and I don't like keeping 6 CB's either....

Price deserves to make the team.

Agree, agree, agree.

[Iowanian]

If Foschi can play H-back as the 3rd TE, there is no need for 2 FBs. If they keep Battle AND Foschi, there is definitely no need for 2 FBs.

Its not like they can't make a roster move and possibly bring the 2nd choice back if there is an injury.

[TEX]

Webb does not deserve to make the team. Price & Sippio do IMO...

[Buehler445]

This would be my choice as well but with Franklin and Price both injured Sippio would have to be included.

[Chief Faithful]

The difference maker maybe that Webb is much better than Price & Sippio on special teams.

[Chief Faithful]

I'm thinking Leggett is destined for the PS and Barksdale gets the last spot.

[Chief Faithful]

I don't see them keeping Savage and Sams. Putting Savage as returner opens the door for Battle.

[pr_capone]

Posted via Mobile Device

I'm on my phone so I'm not about to read the entire thread in teeny weeny eye strain-o-vision, but I have to ask....

did you c0ck slap athan when he included Sippio on the projected roster?

did you tell your boss that he is a brain dead dumb sh!t for thinking that arena trash like Sippio could possibly make the cut?

just wondering is all......

[Phobia]

How embarrassing. I will correct Nick's mistake.

You'd think an editor would catch something like that.

[Hammock Parties]

Darling isn't as capable as Sippio.

ROFL

[Alphaman]

Why would they keep Harrison Alpha? He was HORRIBLE last night.

As for your watch list....I like ANY of those players.

1) These decisions should not be based on one night. If it were, then we'd cut Savage as well.

2) He's had a pretty good camp.

3) We don't have another guard whose better. However, we could claim one after the cuts today and tomorrow.

[Alphaman]

This would be my choice as well but with Franklin and Price both injured Sippio would have to be included.

What is the extent of Price's injury? I thought they said last night that he is likely to be ok for the New England game.

[Micjones]

No Maurice Price?
I think he may have been the most impressive WR this pre-season.
He should be on this team.

[Buehler445]

[wasi]

What is the extent of Price's injury? I thought they said last night that he is likely to be ok for the New England game.

With cut-down day approaching the uncertainty with the injury is going to be a factor one way or another. I could see Sippio making the team based more on availability and Price going to the practice squad until they know he can go.

[noa]

What's the deal with Kevin Robinson? Are we gonna cut him, put him on PS, or PUP?

[OnTheWarpath15]

What's the deal with Kevin Robinson? Are we gonna cut him, put him on PS, or PUP?

I think he's already on PUP.

Not positive, could be wrong.

[Hammock Parties]

Yeah, he's on PUP.

[noa]

Cool, thanks

[Wilson8]

John Paul Foschi has played FB and TE throughout his college and NFL years. He allows more flexibility by keeping him the Chiefs have their 3rd TE and their 2nd FB. Foschi also has a Georgia Tech and New York Jets connection with Chan and Herm. Michael Allen is still developing and really needs more time.

[Ecto-I]

With cut-down day approaching the uncertainty with the injury is going to be a factor one way or another. I could see Sippio making the team based more on availability and Price going to the practice squad until they know he can go.

There's no guarantee that Price will clear waivers and make it to our practice squad. See Ryan Lilja.

Foschi also has a Georgia Tech and New York Jets connection with Chan and Herm. Michael Allen is still developing and really needs more time.
Foschi has been a pretty bad target. I lost count of dropped balls from him. Maybe he's an animal blocking, I don't know but in terms of catching balls I'm pretty sure I can catch better and I've become prone to dropping more in my old age.

Well Novak was just named the starter. So that's one wrong so far.

There's no guarantee that Price will clear waivers and make it to our practice squad. See Ryan Lilja.

Put Price on IR before putting him on the practice squad.

I’m back to this competition theme again. Ruling out Bowe has having to compete and looking at Darling, Franklin, Price, Sippio, and Webb competing for 4 positions, I think Darling is the odd man out. Is there big bonus money already paid him that would keep him on the team?

[Hammock Parties]

I think Darling is the odd man out.

No, he will start. Sorry. Forget all other options.

Devard Darling starts a week from Sunday. Write it down. It will happen.

Not IR but maybe PUP. I don't think he's injured badly though so if Sippio makes the cut he'll be back on the practice squad in a weekk or two.

I've missed the dropped balls. I have seen him blocking though and I think that is what the Chiefs would use him for. Earlier people were saying that this roster idea would leave us with only 1 FB. I'm saying that if Foschi is kept, he can serve a double purpose.

The benefit of the PS is that if a team claims him they have to dress him on their game day active roster. That will be difficult to do considering he is injured. Putting him on the PS buys the team a day or two to get past cut-down day and re-evaluate him closer to the NE game.

That said, I'd have no problem if the Chiefs kept him on the roster over Sippio, and added Arthur or McMahon to the PS and as reserves incase Price can't go.

Another reason why this administration should be pink-slipped.

He must be looking very good in practice then because Jabari Arthur has out performed him in games.

I'm sorry but I can't start a new thread, so I have to ask as a reply, but I live in Los Angeles, Hollywood to be exact and I need to know if there is a Chiefs bar in the metro area here? Or a bar where I can go and see every NFL game. I just moved here and I havven't missed a Chiefs game since 1992. Not gonna happen now. Thanks!

You should probably PM Tinyevel or Dane McCloud.

This season might be a good time to start missing Chiefs games.

I think someone posted the other day about a place on Venice Beach that always has the Chiefs games. A lot of Chiefs fans hang out there. I think it was Dane, but I don't remember for sure.

[J Diddy]

I think he's already on PUP.

Not positive, could be wrong.

nope he's a puppy

What's going to be fun, jackass? Watching Devard Darling start this week? You bet it is.

Yeah, we are all looking forward to no passes being thrown at him because he doesnt seem to get open.

How can this not be fun?

The Whaler, IIRC.

I'm starting to think that Darling whipped it out and let you stroke it.

I can't think of any other reason you'd be so enamored.

He hasn't caught 1 pass all pre-season. The guy can't get open and honestly he sucks

He has only caught 20 passes in his entire career.
