View Full Version : Chiefs Teicher's Final 53

Prediction: The final 53
It’s dangerous to predict what Scott Pioli and Todd Haley are going to do because they’ve shown they’re willing to be unconventional. And there will be at least one player not on the radar right now who winds up playing for the Chiefs on Sept. 13 in Baltimore.
Having said that, I’m willing to hazard a guess as to the 53 players who survive the final cut among the 80 on hand at the moment. Here we go:
QB (3)
Matt Cassel, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen. Thigpen could get traded and if not Haley has floated the idea that the Chiefs might keep only two. Given the limitations of both Croyle (injuries and hasn’t produced when given the chance) and Thigpen (has trouble in a conventional offense) I think it’s extremely dangerous for the Chiefs to keep just one backup for Cassel
RB (4)
Larry Johnson, Mike Cox, Jackie Battle, Jamaal Charles. Javarris Williams and Dantrell Savage haven’t shown enough. Kolby Smith will begin the season on an injured list.
WR (5)
Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Bobby Engram, Mark Bradley, Quinten Lawrence. Toughest position group to call other than the first three. Don’t feel good about the Bradley choice but I think the Chiefs need him. Lawrence stays because of his speed, though I don’t expect he’d play much. Amani Toomer, Ashley Lelie and Terrance Copper should stay by the phone because the Chiefs could come calling soon.
TE (3)
Sean Ryan, Brad Cottam, Jake O’Connell. The Chiefs might prefer to go with two and Cottam could be the one to go. But neither Ryan nor O’Connell has been a standout so the Chiefs could be forced to stay with three.
OL (9)
Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Mike Goff, Ikechuku Ndukwe, Damion McIntosh, Barry Richardson, Wade Smith, Andy Alleman. I see the Chiefs going light here because of a lack of quality depth. I believe Albert and Ndukwe will wind up starting at tackle with McIntosh backing up as both spots and Richardson again getting a spot as a developmental player. Smith and Alleman can backup at both guard and center. Missouri’s Colin Brown is a practice squad candidate.
DL (6)
Alfonso Boone, Ron Edwards, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Tank Tyler, Alex Magee. This position looks set.
LB (10)
Mike Vrabel, Derrick Johnson, Corey Mays, Tamba Hali, Andy Studebaker, Monty Beisel, Zach Thomas, Turk McBride, Jovan Belcher, Pierre Walters. The Chiefs don’t need 10 linebackers but they are deep here so they will go heavy and use many of these guys on special teams. Plus, the situation is complicated because of Zach Thomas’ uncertain situation. The Chiefs could keep Demorrio Williams instead of McBride, but that would leave them heavier at inside linebacker than outside.
DB (10)
Brandon Flowers, Brandon Carr, Jarrad Page, Bernard Pollard, Maurice Leggett, Donald Washington, Travis Daniels, Ricardo Colclough, Jon McGraw, Mike Brown. Again, the Chiefs don’t need 10 but have depth at these positions. If they trim to nine, Colclough is the first to go.
Specialists (3)
Ryan Succop, Dustin Colquitt, Thomas Gafford
There it is for all to ridicule. But if you’re going to do that, do it now and not wait until after they’ve made their cuts

Yeah I think Thigpen's on the way out. Gutierrez is more of a fit for the conventional drop-back passing attack.

Other than that it's silly to project much right now because there's going to be a lot more turnover before it's said and done.

Some people just insist that Taylor is a tackle, being the morons that they are.

Man this team needs more talent. Jesus.....

I couldn't agree more. That is a stunning collection of waiver wire talent. Even the other shitty teams in the league (Oakland, Detroit, Cincy, etc.) have more front line talent than do the Chiefs.

The fact that any of us are debating the merits of keeping Bobby Engram is mind-numbingly stupid. He's f'ing 60 years old...he shouldn't be in the NFL any longer!!! :#

KC has the WORST receiving corps in the NFL and there isn't a close second place choice (well, okay...maybe Oakland). Our DBs are our strength (I guess), but no All-Pros back there. No All-Pros anywhere.

BTW, Brad Cottam is HORRIBLE. He's as big as a wall and can't catch anything, and is a total puss blocking anywhere on the field.

JD10367
08-27-2009, 10:04 AM
Maybe the Chiefs will reverse the flow of players coming out of New England and going to KC or Denver. Send us Thigpen and a mid-round pick and we'll send you Ben Watson. :)

Just cause Lawrence has some speed does not equate to making the roster imo. Homie can't freakin' catch OR hold on to the ball! Cut his speedy ass. The Chiefs need receivers that can #1 catch the ball
#2 hold the ball
#3 yac

Everyone (almost) has football speed in the NFL. I'll take a great route runner that can catch over speed anyday

Its unfortunate that Brad Cottam couldn't step up and win the TE job. He really has a lot of ability, but just isn't technical and physical enough for Haley.

The problem with the TE position is that Ryan and O'Connell are terrible. They drop balls, and don't give much of anything in the blocking game. This is a position I hope Haley would bring a veteran guy in to work with Cottam, and support in the running/pass blocking sets.

I've been keeping my own 53 prediction and this is the perfect opportunity to share:

QB (3) Matt Cassel, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen

- Thigpen's scrambling ability wins out over Gutierrez. I see Gutierrez getting significant playing time against the Rams and if he plays REAL well he could make the team because IMO he's got more NFL QB potential than Thigpen.

RB (4) Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Dantrell Savage, Jackie Battle
FB (1) Mike Cox

- By the sounds of it, Haley is going to want a returner that just goes straight ahead so Battle makes the team IMO. I thought he did a good job of that against the Vikings.

WR (7) Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Bobby Engram, Mark Bradley, Amani Toomer, Terrance Copper, Quinten Lawrence

- This position is influx and a few of these players are just band-aids until next season

TE (2) Sean Ryan, Brad Cottam

- Whatever..

OL (9) Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Ikechuku Ndukwe, Damion McIntosh, Barry Richardson, Wade Smith, Andy Alleman, Darryl Harris.

- IMO Niswanger still has to improve significantly the last two games but what else is there at center? IMO he is slightly better than Ghiaciuc as of right now.

DL (5) Ron Edwards, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Tank Tyler, Alex Magee.

- I don't see Boone really offering much to this group other than experience. Potential wins out in the end.

LB (9) Mike Vrabel, Derrick Johnson, Corey Mays, Tamba Hali, Andy Studebaker, Monty Beisel, Zach Thomas, Jovan Belcher, Pierre Walters.

- Turk McBride has stunk but I haven't watched Walters specifically during the games. According to the TC reports Turk's working hard but he looks bad in the open field. Just not agile enough IMO.

DB (10) Brandon Flowers, Brandon Carr, Maurice Leggett, Donald Washington, Travis Daniels, Jarrad Page, Bernard Pollard, Jon McGraw, Mike Brown, DaJuan Morgan.

- I don't think Colcough offers anything over Morgan at this point.

Specialists (3) Ryan Succop, Dustin Colquitt, Thomas Gafford

PS (8) Javarris Williams, Jake O’Connell, Colin Brown, Cam Goldberg, Rodney Wright, Bobby Greenwood, Tom Crabtree

- Williams, O'Connell, Brown are locks IMO. Not sure if Wright is eligable.

PUP (1) Kolby Smith (Thomas could be candidate also)

These last two games will be more definitive imo. I hope all these players come to kick ass. If not they're gone.

Right off the bat this list looks wrong. Hasn't he read about Thigpen being traded? Pioli brought in Guti from New England. He's gotta stay.

WR (5)
Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Bobby Engram, Mark Bradley, Quinten Lawrence.

What? No toomer? I can't believe that. I figured him for our #2 guy.

TE (3)
Sean Ryan, Brad Cottam, Jake O’Connell.

What do we need with 3 TE's? Are they really just OL'men in disguise? We're keeping 9 OL'men. Maybe one of them could catch an occasional pass.

LB (10)
Mike Vrabel, Derrick Johnson, Corey Mays, Tamba Hali, Andy Studebaker, Monty Beisel, Zach Thomas, Turk McBride, Jovan Belcher, Pierre Walters.

Jeez! 10 LB'ers? Are we gonna substitute on every play? I've never heard of Belcher or Pierre. Zach Thomas is just a consultant.

I guess where the article falls down is the special teams breakdown. Without that, it's hard to see how we need more than 43, let alone 53 players.

If you've watched the Haley Mic'd up segment there is a moment when he is talking to the entire team about certain players wanting to decide if they want to be in camp or something to that effect and the camera zooms directly onto Thomas. Whether or not that was during the first days of camp when he was still in or not is unknown I just thought it was a funny coincidence.

Sometimes the teams that win aren't the best on paper.

This team needs players that can adapt well, are intellegent, that know and understand schemes well enough to do their job. Players that are the "right blend" and a good fit for what the coaches want to do strategically and philosophically. And most importantly, well established relationships amongst each other. something that is very rarely discussed about.

No offense, but I think alot of times we tend to get caught up and focused on the talent issue neglecting our focus on the main thing on what is most important, "team chemistry".

Titans are sitting on Scaife, Jared Cook, Crumpler, and Craig Stevens, with the last two perhaps "on the bubble." Stevens is a great blocker, perhaps even worth a check for trade now. The Titans also have too many receivers, not that any are really that good, but there will be some good names likely cut.

Hopefully the Skins will cut Edwin Williams, and the Lions and Rams will pass on claiming him. Williams is the C the Chiefs need to neutralize NTs in the "new" AFC West. Williams had some practice as Maryland's C, facing off against Raji and Brace and holding up quite well and anchoring against real power. The Packers may also cut some interesting OLs.

You'd like the Chiefs to reserve a crucial roster spot for an over-the-hill, soon to be 37 year old who won't see the field?

That may be true but JFC, this team is so devoid of talent, it's scary.

Do you realize that the Chiefs offensive line is so bad that they traded a draft pick to Miami for two guys they were going to cut on Tuesday?

The Chiefs are going to suck ass this year because their roster lacks talent and depth at nearly every position.

And I'll be stunned if Lelie isn't on the 53 man roster as devoid of WR talent as this team is. He's 29, still got speed, is a big target and has been a victim of three really bad coaching situations in Atlanta, San Fran and Oakland.

Not as much of a given as Toomer, but Haley's last remarks suggest he's ok.

That may be true but JFC, this team is so devoid of talent, it's scary.

Do you realize that the Chiefs offensive line is so bad that they traded a draft pick to Miami for two guys they were going to cut on Tuesday?

The Chiefs are going to suck ass this year because their roster lacks talent and depth at nearly every position.

Other than the starters in the defensive backfield, Cassel, Bowe, Albert and question marks on Dorsey, Tyler, Mays, Jackson and McGee, the rest of the positions could all use upgrades. This team needs about four really solid drafts in a row. It's a shame this past one looks to be a complete waste. Time will tell, but I think Pioli screwed the pooch on his first draft. Perhaps it had to do the the organizational transition, but I think it hurt this club bad.

Stupid.

You'd like the Chiefs to reserve a crucial roster spot for an over-the-hill, soon to be 37 year old who won't see the field?

****That.

As for Toomer, he signed with a team that has the worst receiving corp in the NFL and he hasn't done a damn thing. I'd rather the spot go to someone else with a future.

I agree with your take on Thomas but disagree about Toomer.

I'm starting to wonder whether or not Thomas was brought in because initially the plan on defense was to mix in more 4-3 and now with him out it's given the opportunity to get away from that and that's why we've seen a lot of straight 3-4 this preseason. Perhaps the bad rap, as someone called it, that Thomas got in the Dallas 3-4 scheme was actually fact.

I see Toomer as an asset this season. He hasn't show much but he hasn't been thrown the ball a lot either. He had a nice catch from Croyle against the Vikes, and IMO Haley is pretty confident that he knows what he will get from Toomer. I don't see many of those young guys on the roster right now that have shown they deserve a roster spot because they have a future as you put it. Lawrence had a nice reverse with a little juke that was good but Tauras Johnson I can't remember being given much chance. Rodney Wright had some nice catches against Houston so he might have a future.

It's really too bad that the Chiefs didn't draft Sammie Stroughter instead of Lawrence. They would have the returner position sewn up and have an excellent slot receiver that runs good routes and absolutely does not drop the ball. Sammie is also good on the kick coverage teams and is a good blocker in the run game. He has been the talk of the Tampa draft.

I've been keeping my own 53 prediction and this is the perfect opportunity to share:

QB (3) Matt Cassel, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen

- Thigpen's scrambling ability wins out over Gutierrez. I see Gutierrez getting significant playing time against the Rams and if he plays REAL well he could make the team because IMO he's got more NFL QB potential than Thigpen.

RB (4) Larry Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Dantrell Savage, Jackie Battle
FB (1) Mike Cox

- By the sounds of it, Haley is going to want a returner that just goes straight ahead so Battle makes the team IMO. I thought he did a good job of that against the Vikings.

WR (7) Dwayne Bowe, Devard Darling, Bobby Engram, Mark Bradley, Amani Toomer, Terrance Copper, Quinten Lawrence

- This position is influx and a few of these players are just band-aids until next season

TE (2) Sean Ryan, Brad Cottam

- Whatever..

OL (9) Branden Albert, Brian Waters, Rudy Niswanger, Ikechuku Ndukwe, Damion McIntosh, Barry Richardson, Wade Smith, Andy Alleman, Darryl Harris.

- IMO Niswanger still has to improve significantly the last two games but what else is there at center? IMO he is slightly better than Ghiaciuc as of right now.

DL (5) Ron Edwards, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Tank Tyler, Alex Magee.

- I don't see Boone really offering much to this group other than experience. Potential wins out in the end.

LB (9) Mike Vrabel, Derrick Johnson, Corey Mays, Tamba Hali, Andy Studebaker, Monty Beisel, Zach Thomas, Jovan Belcher, Pierre Walters.

- Turk McBride has stunk but I haven't watched Walters specifically during the games. According to the TC reports Turk's working hard but he looks bad in the open field. Just not agile enough IMO.

DB (10) Brandon Flowers, Brandon Carr, Maurice Leggett, Donald Washington, Travis Daniels, Jarrad Page, Bernard Pollard, Jon McGraw, Mike Brown, DaJuan Morgan.

- I don't think Colcough offers anything over Morgan at this point.

Specialists (3) Ryan Succop, Dustin Colquitt, Thomas Gafford

PS (8) Javarris Williams, Jake O’Connell, Colin Brown, Cam Goldberg, Rodney Wright, Bobby Greenwood, Tom Crabtree

- Williams, O'Connell, Brown are locks IMO. Not sure if Wright is eligable.

PUP (1) Kolby Smith (Thomas could be candidate also)

Colin Brown will never clear waivers.

wasi
08-27-2009, 03:48 PM
Colin Brown will never clear waivers.

If that's the case I'd do do one of the following to get Brown past the waiver period.

try to trade Thigpen, carry 2 QB's with Gutierrez onto the PS. Add Brown and carry 10 linemen.

drop/trade one of McGraw, Brown or Morgan. Probably McGraw as he's only around for ST play and it looks like the Chiefs will play a lot of starters there anyway. I like Brown and Morgan is still young and missed early camp. Add Brown and then PS him.

cut Engram, add Brown and possibly resign Engram

On at least two occassions this preseason he's been one-on-one in the open field and has failed. I'm not expecting a guy to make a tackle everytime when your one on one but Turk's just looked bad, he just doesn't have the dexterity to play OLB. The closer we get to the season it's looking more and more likely that the D will play 3-4 only. The more likely that becomes I think Turk's chances of making the team diminish.

I'm still irate that the Chief's didn't pick up Austin Collie in the fourth. As obviously desperate as we were for quality wideouts, and he's going to start as the Colts slot guy this next season.

But I could say the same thing on just about every single round of the Chiefs draft other than Jackson, who looks okay at this point.

The scheme change obviously works against him, though at 285 and as a former DT in college I'm still surprised they moved him to LB instead of DE.

If the Chiefs cut him, someone else will pick him up immediately and he'll have a solid career. You can put that in the bank at a 5.45% APR.

Dorsey should have a better year than last, and his numbers weren't too bad for a rookie DT last season. Albert had as good a season at LT as you can expect from a guy. Flowers and Carr are our starting cornerbacks and both are quite good, especially considering that this will be only their second season. Charles is our best running back. That's a pretty solid draft if you ask me.

At this point, I don't see anyone other than Jackson, Magee and Succop making the team, and the Chiefs could have addressed more glaring needs with the other selections. (Including the Magee pick.)

I was curious about that too, at his size, why LB instead of DE? I'm assuming they saw something we didn't, but whatever...defense is improving, which is a move in the right direction - and if they cut Turk, someone will most definitely pick him up.

It really doesn't make a damn bit of difference oif he was supposed to be drafted or not.

He is a work in progress at guard, but he has shown real promise and a team with some decent depth that wants to groom a potential player at that position in a year will claim him.

He has played really well given his limited experience as a guard.

When we drafted him, I was pissed, because he's a suckass RT that shouldn't have been drafted.

How many teams go with five WRs? I think Toomer stays, if only because of his veteran presence and abilities (old and slow they might have become).
At least 6 maybe 7 I think. Esp after reading this a few days ago

Q: Does that put more focus on the wedge guys now, the tight ends, linebackers…

What if Mays plays well, or his play begins to slip during the regular season at least you have a veteran who can fill the void and is capable of doing the job. Im not even looking at the age. You gotta change your focus man. You look at the positives and what he brings to this football team. At least the MLB position is improved with capable starters and good depth. Ok not something to drop your jaw over, but, some positives. what if Mays plays well or even bad, at least you have a veteran who knows the position well and can mentor him and help him develop into a solid MLB down the road.

Plus Thomas only signed a one-year deal anyways? Its not like they're relying on him longterm. It's better then nothing. Do you want scrubs starting there. Would like Pat Thomas starting there? Heck, be more grateful at least you have corey Mays and Zach Thomas which is an upgrade compared to last season. Are you going to find a better MLB out there in the market? If so, who?

i believe this team was 2-14 last year because the coaching was awful. A lot of the coaching and playcalling on this team, and the way they utilized its players were to complete disadvantage to the players. The chiefs had the worst coaching staff in the league last year. The players lost belief in the coaching staff last year you could see it. i think alot of players on this team are better then what we seen of them last year. I think you'll see alot of improvement in alot of these guys. The key is todd Haley, getting rid of Carl will help. You'd be surprised what a different attitude and mindset from a new regime can bring to an organization. you'd be surprised what good playcalling and proper utilization of players can do.

OK.

Not a single snap in the preseason, but he'll play, and play well.

Hell, he hasn't even gotten off the bike. Not even individual drills.

But he'll play.

Got it.

Thomas will play.

just because the talent level is not as good as you think it is doesn't mean it couldn't get better? don't hold out hope man, anything is possible.

You're stupid.

This team will be far better coached, they'll be in far better condition and Haley will manage the clock to perfection.

But, the game is played on the field.

Unlike Miami, the Chiefs don't have a defensive player that will put up 16+ sacks. Unlike Atlanta, the Chiefs don't have a young, solid and very good offensive line blocking for a young and hungry RB that puts up nearly 1,600 yards.

The Chiefs are devoid of talent and depth at EVERY position.

No amount of coaching will change that.

With his kids in his backyard.

He's not stepping on the NFL field this year.

At least not with the Chiefs.

Yeah and good coaching better conditioning trancends to better play from the players.

It's not all talent.

It's about team chemistry and having things go right for your team in every possible way.

You don't have to have a 16 sack plus guy. I understand you need to get to the QB, but, they can do it as a team.

Whos to say there offensive line can't be good? they do have some solid guys there? Albert, Waters, and Goff are capable of doing the job. richardson who knows? give him a chance you never know.

Ok, LJ Im not too pleased about. Because Im convinced his heart isn't in it. but I still think they'll be ok there. The running game does concern me mainly because of LJ. Hopefully Battle or Charles can step it up.

Your "opinion" is not fact-based.

It's the "opinion" of an uneducated fan. I've disputed each of your "opinions" with facts, yet you refuse to address those posts.

You continue to spew your "opinion", which is little more than hope and lollipops.

In short, you're a football moron.

No amount of coaching will change that. Way to exaggerate things (though sadly not that much). I mean, yeah the roster is bad but there is certainly _some_ talent there.

Even if he doesn't play, its still good to have a guy that can provide your team with good presence in the locker room, and can mentor the younger guys at that position.

Anyway, I think he is gonna play. His body is a little dinged, and at 36 thats normal. I can only think the Chiefs are resting him up to get him ready when it counts. Imo, if they cut him, they would've already done it.

Better to have a roster spot reserved for a player who can give you something in the locker room and provide good depth, or possibly start then some other journeyman type player. Thats the way I see it.

He will play they are resting him up for the regular season.

Thomas will play.
