Not much news here except that the o-line is ranked at #25 by this writer.
Starters:
LT Branden Albert
LG Brian Waters
C Rudy Niswanger
RG Mike Goff
RT Damion McIntosh
Backups:
Colin Brown
Brian De La Puente
Eric Ghiaciuc
Cameron Goldberg
Darryl Harris
Edwin Harrison
Barry Richardson
Wade Smith
Herb Taylor
Waters spent the offseason angry and upset with the new Chiefs regime, attending only the mandatory minicamp. When he did show up, he admitted he had a great deal of conditioning to do before the start of training camp. New coach Todd Haley wants his blockers lean and mobile, as guys like Albert and McIntosh have lost a considerable amount of weight and mid-section. Goff was signed as a UFA and was the line's leader during the offseason program. Ghiaciuc and Smith give the Chiefs experienced depth inside, but they lack playing experience on the bench at tackle. Draft pick Brown is strictly a right tackle, as is last year's pick Richardson.
