Damn.

He'll catch on somewhere at guard or as a backup LT.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Todd Fucking Haley dont mess around

[DeezNutz]

Taylor, huh?

Interesting.

[Delano]

HERB TAYLOR!? OH NOES !! /SNR

[Pablo]

Dunno about Herb though...

Sep 04, 2009, 3:26:08 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that the club has released eight players: FB Jed Collins, CB Travis Daniels, CB Londen Fryar, C Eric Ghiaciuc, T Damion McIntosh, LB Corey Smith, T Herb Taylor and G Tavares Washington.

[Kylo Ren]

I thought Herb Taylor was a bright star last year? Wasn't he a valueable backup at almost every O-line position? What happened to him this year?

[ziggysocki]

Yup... I just got the twitter...

http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2009/09/04/chiefs_release_eight_players/

[Hammock Parties]

I can't make jokes about Sackintosh no mo?

Ah well. Now we will be bitching about Ndukwe. His pass blocking sucks.

[Mr. Krab]

McIntsuck got what he wanted.

[Kylo Ren]

So, if Herb Taylor AND McIntosh are both gone, who is the back up LT? Does that make Richardson the starting RT and Ndukwe the backukp RT? Ndukwe doesn't look ready to be the starting RT yet. Maybe Haley / Pioli know something that we don't? John Runyon? Any other OT's available via FA or trade?

[Bill Lundberg]

This most certainly means there are people out there that they plan on picking up for the O-Line.

[doomy3]

Holy Shit.

Who the fuck is going to play on our OLine?

We will definitely be bringing in some other guys.

[The Bad Guy]

There is no way the Chiefs don't bring in a RT this weekend. Levin Jones, someone.

This is a glorious day. That bastard is gone.

[Kylo Ren]

Someone needs to REPOST this thread. I don't like the thread title at all. It sucks.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Im guessing Richardson is the back up LT, and they are gonna be looking at the waiver wire for their starting RT

[Halfcan]

no surprise Sackintosh was canned-he was horrific last night.

[DeezNutz]

So, if Herb Taylor AND McIntosh are both gone, who is the back up LT? Does that make Richardson the starting RT and Ndukwe the backukp RT? Ndukwe doesn't look ready to be the starting RT yet. Maybe Haley / Pioli know something that we don't? John Runyon? Any other OT's available via FA or trade?

Not really.

Sackintosh sucks and Taylor is very overrated by fans and the media.

[Kylo Ren]

There is no way the Chiefs don't bring in a RT this weekend. Levin Jones, someone.

This is a glorious day. That bastard is gone. There you go! I knew there was another OT name floating around out there. I just couldn't remember who it was.

[doomy3]

Someone needs to REPOST this thread. I don't like the thread title at all. It sucks.

I'm sure you will as soon as you get a text from ESPN about it.

[rockymtnchief]

Good. I'm tired of watching Chicken Legs try and play tackle.

[Kylo Ren]

Even if Haley / Pioli bring in a vet RT, who will be the back up LT? Richardson and Ndukwe have both worked at RT and neither are ready to play or even back up at LT.

[Pablo]

Maybe Haley / Pioli know something that we don't? Not a chance.

[Deberg_1990]

Herb Taylor...

one more brilliant Herm draft pick down. ROFL

[gblowfish]

Is Sackintosh still going to be at KFC on Sept 17th?
I'm sure he'll be elbow deep into multiple buckets of original and crispy.
No reason to train anymore, nope.

Chomp.
Chomp.

[seclark]

I'm sure you will as soon as you get a text from ESPN about it.

I was wondering the same thing. Seems scary to me. I thought Taylor was a solid backup LT.

I trust that Haley knows what he's doing, though, especially on offense. Just really surprised.

Someone needs to REPOST this thread. I don't like the thread title at all. It sucks.
Agreed, done.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I guess the thread that's blowing up right now with 30+ replies in 2 minutes wasn't good enough?

McIntsuck got what he wanted.

i agree....it looked like he was barely trying....goodbye you fucking skulker...

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I guess the thread that's blowing up right now with 30+ replies in 2 minutes wasn't good enough?

It can't be at the very top. It has to be halfway down the first page for anyone to notice.

[Stewie]

Could you pay attention please?! Jesus!

[shitgoose]

Well, bye. To bad Fagpen isn't on the list

[Pablo]

I'm making another thread on this subject right now.

People must know.

[crazycoffey]

bye bye McIntosh, not sad to see you go. Herb? well - that tells us Herms evaluation compared to Pioli/Haley.... Thought he had some future....

[doomy3]

He did this on purpose because John Wayne didn't like the title and asked for a repost.

Weird.

[keg in kc]

Well, bye. To bad pillowbiterpen isn't on the listThere's still time to unload pickpen.

[Kylo Ren]

They have to release 22 players, right? They were at 75 and need to get down to 53, right? So, another 14 players still need to go.

[doomy3]

I'm making another thread on this subject right now.

People must know.

Do it. I don't like this title.

[DeezNutz]

Again.

Fuck, no need to embarrass these players by releasing them a second time.

I hope they keep Colin Brown on the PS. Darryl Harris who?

[Frosty]

HERB TAYLOR!? OH NOES !! /SNR

Hah - SNR jumped me when I predicted Taylor was going to be cut. :D

[DeezNutz]

I didn't see this specific thread title on the front page...

Apparently a tackle or something was released.

[doomy3]

I hope they keep Colin Brown on the PS. Darryl Harris who?

Yeah, that Darryl Harris.

[Bill Lundberg]

They have to release 22 players, right? They were at 75 and need to get down to 53, right? So, another 14 players still need to go.

I bet they cut 20 more and bring in at least 6. As brutal as the first quarter of the schedule is we don't really hurt ourselves by starting guys who haven't been in camp. By the week 5, the new guys should be up to speed and the team should start showing improvement.

[CaliforniaChief]

They have to release 22 players, right? They were at 75 and need to get down to 53, right? So, another 14 players still need to go.

They'll release more than that to make room for the new people they'll inevitably bring in. There shall be bloodshed. Ray Farmer's going to have to take numbers for the next 24 hours.

Sound studio, dude.

[keg in kc]

Now we need a DeezNuts reports that 810 is reporting that someone on 610 read on kcchiefs.com that someone was released.

Then tomorrow about this time, once the Star catches up, we can add another thread.

WPI will be along shortly to tell us all it's just a smokescreen for a mammoth trade.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Sound studio, dude.

LMAO

[aturnis]

Chiefs | Eight released from team

Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs OT Damion McIntosh, OL Herb Taylor, OL Eric Ghiaciuc, OT Tavares Washington, FB Jed Collins, LB Corey Smith, CB Travis Daniels and CB Londen Fryar have been released from the team.

[DeezNutz]

WPI will be along shortly to tell us all it's just a smokescreen.

And Nick knew weeks ago because he's now reporting from his couch.

[aturnis]

Only surprise is Herb Taylor. Can't believe he got cut. Huh.

[DeezNutz]

I feel more comfortable in this thread.

[Kylo Ren]

This thread sucks too, but not as much as the other one.

[aturnis]

On the other hand, Damion MacIntosh is gone!PBJPBJPBJPBJ

[doomy3]

So, we need to cut 22, right? Because we had 75 and need to get to 53, right?

[CoMoChief]

WTF Herb Taylor? Who the fuck is going to back us up at LT?

[aturnis]

Wrong.

[keg in kc]

Wow. I really didn't think we could let him go. I mean, who the hell else have we got?

I wouldn't be surprised to see another fullback brought in.

[Titty Meat]

This team is going to suck lol

[Titty Meat]

Wait Thigpen wasn't released? WHAT THE FUCK

[doomy3]

This team is going to suck lol

Because we just released a bunch of suckass players?

[orange]

This most certainly means there are people out there that they plan on picking up for the O-Line.

Holy Shit.

Who the **** is going to play on our OLine?

We will definitely be bringing in some other guys.

There's still at least 14 more to go.

Hopefully we can trade him for a bag of chips though.

He was great LT insurance. Not a good move by the Chiefs.

I would say it's more about Wade Smith than Alleman. Smith played a lot of Center last night and didn't look too bad.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I do feel bad for SNR though. Sorry brah.

[chiefzilla1501]

Oh come on. Calling him a "great" anything is ridiculous.

"Great"? No. But as a backup, he's fine. I don't understand this cut either. If Albert gets injured, we're fucked.

[Mr. Krab]

"Great"? No. But as a backup, he's fine. I don't understand this cut either. If Albert gets injured, we're fucked.
If Taylor can't play tackle then he isn't great/good or anything else even as a backup. I personally think Taylor belongs inside but if they aren't going to move him inside than they might as well cut him.

[Micjones]

I would say it's more about Wade Smith than Alleman. Smith played a lot of Center last night and didn't look too bad.

Smith's been saddled by injuries though.
Not sure how much insurance he would be.

He's been a great Avatar for SNR for many months.

[Micjones]

"Great"? No. But as a backup, he's fine. I don't understand this cut either. If Albert gets injured, we're fucked.

They must think they can make a LT out of Richardson. Fail.
I'd rather have Taylor. We know he can fill and play well.
Don't get this one at all... Taylor might've been the most game-ready reserve O-Lineman we have on the team.

[Mr. Krab]

We know he can fill and play well.
We do?

[kaplin42]

Holy Shit.

Who the **** is going to play on our OLine?

We will definitely be bringing in some other guys.

Honestly, at this point, no one on the line is better than some of these guys. Mcintosh was barely even a speed bump, more like running through a web paper bag on the way to maiming what ever poor soul was behind center.

[kstater]

"Great"? No. But as a backup, he's fine. I don't understand this cut either. If Albert gets injured, we're fucked.


They're fucked if Albert goes down regardless of who's backing him up.

[chiefzilla1501]

Just curious, because I haven't gotten live feeds of games. What position have they been playing Taylor in training camp and preseason? Was it right tackle?

[nychief]

"They must think they can make a LT out of Richardson. Fail. "



Honestly, the "fail" response is fucking retarded.

[MMXcalibur]

McIntosh is gone! Sweet mother of a sweaty penis!

[Micjones]

We do?

Yes we do. He did so just last year.

[Micjones]

"They must think they can make a LT out of Richardson. Fail. "



Honestly, the "fail" response is fucking retarded.

Is it? Have you seen any evidence that suggests he can make that transition?

[chiefzilla1501]

They're ****ed if Albert goes down regardless of who's backing him up.

Not entirely. Taylor is at least adequate. Albert was injured a few games last year and Taylor filled in admirably, for a backup.

If Albert went down with Taylor on the roster, we'd in trouble. If Albert goes down without Taylor on the roster, we're fucked.

[nychief]

Are you Taylor's agent? Herb Taylor is worthless.

[Frosty]

Taylor looked okay occasionally last year in Herm's spread. He has looked like crap all preseason in Haley's convention offense.

[The Franchise]

Now let's bring in a RT who can actually play. Runyan?

[Bill Lundberg]

5 of the 11 players released so far have been offensive lineman - 45%

[SenselessChiefsFan]

McIntsuck got what he wanted.

This.... worst offseason since he has been here.

[DaneMcCloud]

Is it? Have you seen any evidence that suggests he can make that transition?

Actually, he is a left tackle. Started 40 games for Clemson.

The Chiefs moved him to right tackle and he's struggled.

In preseason, they had him at left tackle early and he looked very good and far more comfortable.

If anything, I think they kept Richardson to be the "swing" tackle because of his size and the fact that he has definitely progressed from last season.

Herb Taylor hasn't.

[chiefzilla1501]

Taylor looked okay occasionally last year in Herm's spread. He has looked like crap all preseason in Haley's convention offense.

He looked good last year in the preseason before the spread.

He's looked horrible and out of place at Right Tackle. But at the left tackle spot, he seemed to do a pretty good job.

Again, I'll trust Haley on this. It just seems strange. He's not a guy I'd want as a starter, but he seemed to be a good backup. And the Chiefs are very, very, very light on options right now. Basically, if Albert gets injured, they're going to have to switch Richardson to the other side, untrain his brain from playing right tackle, and ask him to play a position he hasn't played in 2 years and has never played on the NFL level.

Herb Taylor hasn't.

Has he? I haven't had a chance to follow. Has Taylor played LT this offseason?

If Richardson's not going to start, who are they going to start at RT right now?

[AustinChief]

They're fucked if Albert goes down regardless of who's backing him up.

Not if they sign Tra Thomas to back him up... and while they are at it might as well throw Runyan in at RT.

[Bwana]

Yes we do. He did so just last year.

Well if he is all that, he will be picked up by another team, likely make the pro bowl within a year or two and no doubt be a shoe in for the Hall of fame. :thumb:

[Just Passin' By]

They have to release 22 players, right? They were at 75 and need to get down to 53, right? So, another 14 players still need to go.

Those 22 players will win 2 games...

After watching Alleman and Ndukwe, I hate Ndukwe at RT. I hate Rudy enough at C that Alleman should get a shot.

[Frosty]

they're going to have to switch Richardson to the other side, untrain his brain from playing right tackle, and ask him to play a position he hasn't played in 2 years and has never played on the NFL level.

They've had Richardson exclusively at LT the last two preseason games. Dane says he played well there in the first game, too.

[Chief Faithful]

Not entirely. Taylor is at least adequate. Albert was injured a few games last year and Taylor filled in admirably, for a backup.

If Albert went down with Taylor on the roster, we'd in trouble. If Albert goes down without Taylor on the roster, we're ****ed.

I guess Haley wants more than adequate. Pioli must think can pick someone off the waivers that is better.

[KCDC]

On the next 14 to go, look for:


Darling and Thomas on IR

Look for C. Brown or Alleman

Crabtree WR
Dacus LB
Daniels CB
Engram WR
Gales DT
Johnson WR
O'Connell TE
Price DB
Walters LB
Williams RB
Wright WR

Ah, then probably add Lawrence WR, I think.

[Micjones]

Actually, he is a left tackle. Started 40 games for Clemson.

The Chiefs moved him to right tackle and he's struggled.

In preseason, they had him at left tackle early and he looked very good and far more comfortable.

If anything, I think they kept Richardson to be the "swing" tackle because of his size and the fact that he has definitely progressed from last season.

Herb Taylor hasn't.

Not that this is gospel, but the last regime didn't think he could play LT in the NFL. And if memory serves it was Richardson who got owned thrice in the last series in pass protection in Pre-Season Game 3.

[LOCOChief]

Yup... I just got the twitter...

I'm cracking a beer in celebration of the fact I don't have to see SackIntosh block for my team ever again...EVER!

I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing any of these guys suiting up on Sunday anytime soon.

Unless they're earning doubletime doing emergency road construction.

The last regime had the worst offensive line in the NFL.

While this line again may be the worst in the NFL, it'll at least have a different set of cast members.

I'm not the least bit surprised by that depth chart.

I've been saying since the Viking game that Richardson played much better than most think he did in that game, and that Damian McIntosh was only being given the chance to save his job with the start in the Seattle game (and by extension, last night's game).

[milkman]

I hope they keep Colin Brown on the PS. Darryl Harris who?

You haven't been paying attention.

Brown and Harris have been the best guards for the Chiefs throughout this preseason.

Not at all. Scratch Bates and there are your 5 Corners.

[milkman]

He looked good last year in the preseason before the spread.

He's looked horrible and out of place at Right Tackle. But at the left tackle spot, he seemed to do a pretty good job.

Again, I'll trust Haley on this. It just seems strange. He's not a guy I'd want as a starter, but he seemed to be a good backup. And the Chiefs are very, very, very light on options right now. Basically, if Albert gets injured, they're going to have to switch Richardson to the other side, untrain his brain from playing right tackle, and ask him to play a position he hasn't played in 2 years and has never played on the NFL level.

Richardson has played LT in this preseason.

[Frosty]

Who's out if they only keep 4 safties?

[bevischief]

Jed Collins, Londen Fryar, Corey Smith, Herb Taylor, Tavares Washington, Travis Daniels, Eric Ghiaciuc Damion McIntosh releasing these players how does this affect the salary cap minimum?

[Micjones]

Who's out if they only keep 4 safties?

Pollard, Page, Brown, McGraw oughta be your 4 Safeties.

[Bill Lundberg]

Who's out if they only keep 4 safties?

Ricky Price and Morgan

[Marcellus]

Pollard, Page, Brown, McGraw oughta be your 4 Safeties.

No Morgan? I didn't like the kid before last night but he had a hell of a game.

[Frosty]

Pollard, Page, Brown, McGraw oughta be your 4 Safeties.

Morgan has looked like he is really coming along the last two games. Why keep two fossils like McGraw and/or Brown? Brown hasn't done anything all preseason.

[milkman]

He's worse than Goff and ScIntosh.

If that's even possible.

I disagree.

When Allenman replaced Goff at RG in the Seattle game, Niswanger's level of suckage wasn't as low as it was when he had Goff next to him.

As much as I hated McIntosh for his absolute suckage, Goff was absolutely the worst on that line.

[Hammock Parties]

Pollard, Page, Brown, McGraw oughta be your 4 Safeties.

Are you fucking kidding me?

After the way Morgan has played?

McGraw can go to hell!

[milkman]

Morgan isn't being released.

[BWillie]

Morgan has looked like he is really coming along the last two games. Why keep two fossils like McGraw and/or Brown? Brown hasn't done anything all preseason.

Brown has been fine - McGraw is the one that needs to go. Keep Morgan - at least he has a shot at getting better.

[milkman]

So you're assuming that they'll keep Richardson at RT? I agree, from everything I've seen they guy should be given the opportunity.

I'm not assuming that, no.

However, I have been saying for two weeks that McIntosh would be cut before Richardson is.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I think it's pretty obvious 4 of those CB's are on the roster without a question.

I'm not saying he'll be cut, but I don't believe Carr is the shizzle that some people think he is.

[Hammock Parties]

Broncos cut G Kory Lichtensteiger .... wonder if he fits in KC?

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Brown has been fine - McGraw is the one that needs to go. Keep Morgan - at least he has a shot at getting better.

Just clone Pollard three times; I wanna' watch GoChiefs head explode.:D

[Saccopoo]

The last regime had the worst offensive line in the NFL.

While this line again may be the worst in the NFL, it'll at least have a different set of cast members.

I agree. The fact that they (Pioli & Co.) are actually doing something, something that obviously needed to be done is encouraging. Rome wasn't built in a day, and for a team that is devoid of so much talent there is a lot of building that needs to be done, but it's nice to see that the major deficiencies are being addressed.

There was nothing more depressing than Carl calling it a day the moment training camp broke and he gave the keys to Herm and just sitting pat all season long. It doesn't look like the new crew is going to do that - at least until you've got a playoff caliber team.

[Mr. Krab]

That one's easy. Bates is gone, they keep the rest.You really think they will keep 5? I think Colclough might be gone as well.

[-King-]

I've always wondered; Does Ray Farmer call these guys in individually or does he just have them line up and tell them all at once. Because calling in 23 people and having to tell each one of them that they're cut must be kind of difficult. I could understand doing that for the high profile player, but for the nobodies, is there really a point in meeting them individually?

[Hammock Parties]

You really think they will keep 5? I think Colclough might be gone as well.

Why not? 4 for dime + backup....

[Mecca]

If they cut Morgan with Brown and McGraw both making it, that would be extremely stupid.

[DaneMcCloud]

Why not? 4 for dime + backup....

I think Cokely sucks. I can't imagine they'll keep him around.

[BigChiefFan]

Out of the safeties, I think Mike Brown is the one on his way out.

[DaneMcCloud]

If they cut Morgan with Brown and McGraw both making it, that would be extremely stupid.

I think McGraw over Brown just due to special teams.

[Titty Meat]

Out of the safeties, I think Mike Brown is the one on his way out.

Based on what? Morgans all star game vs third stringers? Morgan sucks, he plays one good game (in which he should have gave up 1 touchdown) and people on this board think he's a good player.

[wild1]

Why are people worried about Taylor? Is he popular for another reason besides that goofy photo of him wearing glasses?

[Titty Meat]

Brown has made the team haters accept it and love it. He's Pollards replacement in the lineup.

[Hammock Parties]

Brown has made the team haters accept it and love it. He's Pollards replacement in the lineup.

Actually at this point, if Pollard fails, I think they will put in Morgan.

But either way need a backup who can get injured and really fuck us over if a starter gets injured.

How can you say Brown is a starter when he hasn't been seen all of camp?

Herb Taylor has WAY TOO MUCH VALUE to EVER be CUT.

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smith sucks ass. Did you even watch the Chiefs last year?

There's NO WAY they try to sneak either Brown or Harris through waivers.

Taylor has TRADE VALUE so if the Chiefs are looking to find a roster spot for someone else, he'll be traded, not released.

Because Morgan has upside and Brown doesn't and they are neck and neck as far as skills, at this point. When it's even, you keep the young player with upside.

Bullshit did he even play the first few games? Nobody talked about him at all until he played good aginst 3rd string scurbs on one of the shittiest teams in the league and now you all think the same guy who got out ran by lendale white will be a starter?

He has done it two games in a row. Certainly he has looked better than Pollard. Page has been hurt although he had a nice game against the Vikings.

Didn't Morgan miss the first 2 weeks of camp because of an injury? Ever think he was behind from missing practice and just recently got caught up and thats why he's starting to play well? Brown on the other hand has no excuse and hasn't shown much of anything IMO.

[Titty Meat]

Brown has been consistant opposed to the other safeties. Say what you want but he is money aginst the run. I see Morgan is the new Thigpen on the board and when he sucks ya'll will be aginst him before you were for him.

[Kyle DeLexus]

I'm actually for Mays/Berry, but think you keep the young project player over a vet who has had injury problems and most likely won't get a starting spot from Page/Pollard anyway.

[Titty Meat]

Nah you keep the veteran this isn't a contest to see what team can have the youngest players. Herm thought Morgan was a good player thats all that really needs to be said. Also just cuz he played 1 good game aginst 3rd stringers doesn't mean shit. Kris Griffin anyone?

Morgan can't be Thigpen because he actually has talent and was a well thought of prospect coming into the draft.

Read...

2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
person
DaJuan Morgan, FS, North Carolina State
Behind Kenny Phillips of Miami, DaJuan Morgan will be the best safety on most draft boards. During his junior (and final) season at North Carolina State, Morgan led the team with 97 tackles, three interceptions and six pass break-ups. He is a great athlete and has plenty of speed and decent enough hands to compliment his above average coverage ability. He can do just about everything from the free safety position, but for now his value on special teams might be his greatest asset.

Morgan is still learning the position after starting just one year for the Wolfpack. His experience at wide receiver is not a bad thing, but he did just move to safety in 2005 and has plenty left to learn about the position. He tends to project better than he plays, but most of that can be blamed on inexperience. Once he learns the position a little more, his production should start living up to his Combine numbers. The All-ACC Second-Team selection plays with emotion and that has led to some problems in the past with his consistency. If he can play with a level head and spend a year or two fine tuning his technique, Morgan has the athletic tools to be the best safety of this class.

Morgan could slide into the second round if somebody falls in love with his athleticism and potential. At the very least they would be getting a great special teams player and a serviceable safety. And it is very feasible that they could get a whole lot more than that from Morgan.

4/11 Update: DaJuan Morgan continues to climb up most draft boards. On some boards he might even be a little bit ahead of Miami safety Kenny Phillips, but that might be stretching it a bit. Either way, Morgan is looking like a first day selection. The New York Giants are in dire need of a young safety and if Morgan makes it until the last pick in the second round, the Super Bowl Champions should be happy to have him.

You don't give up on players like this after 1 year. He's the complete opposite of Tamba Hali. Hali came out as a finished product, Morgan came out as an extremely raw player.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Nah you keep the veteran this isn't a contest to see what team can have the youngest players. Herm thought Morgan was a good player thats all that really needs to be said. Also just cuz he played 1 good game aginst 3rd stringers doesn't mean shit. Kris Griffin anyone?And there's a reason Brown signed with a bottomfeeding team like KC...Morgan is still developing and has potential to get better, Brown is maxed out and the fact that we are having this argument means Brown isn't playing much/if any better than Morgan. That means you keep the young player with more potential and might be around to help you when your 2 win team is ready to compete.

[Titty Meat]

Cool he's a project player. same was said about William Bartee remmeber how the great Ron Wolfe wanted to draft him? Then if you keep him & Pollard you still don't have a starting safety and create yet another postion that needs to be filled.

Can't be Morgan because I don't see him on the field.

[Mecca]

I think you didn't get the memo that the Chiefs aren't going to win shit this year so uh why cut young players with big upside?

Morgan needs to be given 3 years, you don't cut him after one, and he's far more naturally gifted than Pollard is.

The fact is nobody was even discussing DaJuan Morgan until his 1 good game (in which he still should have gave up a touchdown) aginst one of the crappiest teams in the league. You either keep him or Pollard not both though.

[Mecca]

I'd cut Jon McGraw before I cut Morgan...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I think you didn't get the memo that the Chiefs aren't going to win shit this year so uh why cut young players with big upside?

Morgan needs to be given 3 years, you don't cut him after one, and he's far more naturally gifted than Pollard is.

The important thing here is the overall consensus that Brown has little or nothing to offer us present or long term.

Yep, that's the one.:evil:

[Mecca]

If they keep Mike Brown they'll have to keep 5 safeties cause he'll be on IR in a month.

[Titty Meat]

I'd cut Jon McGraw before I cut Morgan...

You said Morgan needs 3 years. I'd dump Pollard since him and Morgan are the same player and let Morgan be the understudy to Brown for a year.

Why is this even an argument/conversation? Brown is 30, has been injured for the past four seasons (lower leg injuries to boot) and lacks the athleticism to be effective as a free safety.

Morgan, Page and Pollard have all shown flashes and have the physical attributes you want in a safety. You've got to remember that these guys played and learned under a Herm led system. It's like they are learning to play football all over again.

A more relevant topic would be: "Why aren't we trading McBride, Hali and Dorsey and then draft Dunlap and Selvie?"

[Tiger's Fan]

You mean Pollard? Or Carr?

Can't be Morgan because I don't see him on the field.

Please don't mind the stupidest poster on the planet, and welcome aboard n00b.

You must have been busy with your boyfriends errrm wifes. Pollard has shown that he sucks and Page has proven that he can't tackle. Also you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about what they are doing now isn't much different than what they did under Herm.

You can't say the same about many other players on our roster.

[Titty Meat]

Yea I wanna be the "smartest poster" which is a bit of an oxymoron. Also "busterhymen" sounds like you a perv, you must live in sacagoos compound.

[tomahawk kid]

One thing I will say about Pioli and Haley.

They take out the trash and shitcan who needs to be shitcanned.

McIntosh was a lazy POS. Good riddance.

BTW - agree with earlier comments that we're bringing in another RT.

[HIChief]

Holy Shit.

Who the **** is going to play on our OLine?

We will definitely be bringing in some other guys.


I don't see what the difference is; no one was playing on the O-line last night!

[Saccopoo]

You must have been busy with your boyfriends errrm wifes. Pollard has shown that he sucks and Page has proven that he can't tackle. Also you have no idea what the **** you are talking about what they are doing now isn't much different than what they did under Herm.

Sorry, but pre-season doesn't mean shit other than getting these guys to learn a brand new system, and there were times last season where Pollard was the only bright spot on the defense. The guy hustles and seems to be around the ball all the time. Missing a couple of tackles in the preseason doesn't equate to letting him go in favor of a 30 year old with a history of leg injuries. That's just plain dumb.

And moving from a 43 to a 34 will have some growing pains. It's why Vrabel looks better than anyone else on the field so far. He's used to that scheme where the others aren't. Heck, I think it was Pollard who said something to the effect of players not having a clear idea where they were supposed to be and what their assignments were under the Herm/Gunther experiment.

So, to reiterate, why aren't we looking to trade McBride, Hali and Dorsey, pick up another first round pick and draft Dunlap, Suh and Selvie/Kindle?

[Saccopoo]

I don't see what the difference is; no one was playing on the O-line last night!

When McIntosh let that guy blow right by him and get Croyle levelled, I said "That dude just earned himself a waiver." You know Haley isn't going to stand there and let his quarterback get killed.

[Frankie]

Herb Taylor...

one more brilliant Herm draft pick down. ROFL

He was a 7th rounder, dude. And I thought he showed better potential than that. He never got a fair chance in KC it seems.

[Hammock Parties]

keep a guy who can't even keep up with Lendale White.

You are putting way too much stock into one play.

[Direckshun]

Holy fucking shit. We have no backup LT.

Good thing, too, because as we all know Brandon Albert is impervious to injury.

[booger]

He was a 7th rounder, dude. And I thought he showed better potential than that. He never got a fair chance in KC it seems.

6th

[booger]

Brich played LT better than Taylor. Harris hasn't taken snaps there but did play both G and RT plus C in college. Not sure about LT though.

[DaFace]

So, the real question is: how have I not noticed how much of a douchenozzle billay is until today?

[booger]

ur a mod. cut off his fcking head please.

TIA

You don't moderate DC, I'd guess.

Thats a good point, Herm destroyed so many players abilities that past performance should be exempt from analysis of the players. I know we've had four games this year but they are all learning a new system. And our D is really looking pretty good I must say.

Nobody scored at will on us.

[boogblaster]

Changes are going to shake up the metro .... Look out KC someday we might get a real team again ...

[DaneMcCloud]

LMAO

Yeah, he ruined Dwayne Bowe, Tamba Hali, Jared Allen, Brian Waters, Brandon Albert, Brenden Flowers, Jamal Charles, Brodie Croyle and especially Tony Gonzalez.

He totally FUCKED Gonzalez, Man.

You rule!

[OctoberFart]

I can't make jokes about Sackintosh no mo?

Ah well. Now we will be bitching about Ndukwe. His pass blocking sucks.

No you can't pimp McIntosh like you always did before your flip flop.

[Hammock Parties]

No you can't pimp McIntosh like you always did before your flip flop.

I only pimped McIntosh as a left tackle, and he was a decent left tackle.

I NEVER thought he was a good right tackle. Ever.

So let's get that straight.

[HemiEd]

There is no way the Chiefs don't bring in a RT this weekend. Levin Jones, someone.

This is a glorious day. That bastard is gone.

Hallifuckingluyah!!!!

[Buehler445]

Morgan is not a finished product the other guys are...are we really going to cut young players with high upside cause some 30 year old scrub is slightly better right now?

Nah man lets keep Mike Brown, nothing is more valuable than a guy who'll go on IR.

I agree with these statements wholeheartedly. Times a kajillion.

So, the real question is: how have I not noticed how much of a douchenozzle billay is until today?

WTF man? Where have you been.

You don't moderate DC, I'd guess.
Nah, he's been a douche everywhere.

[aturnis]

Jed's dead baby. Jed's dead.

Great name for a band man. You should start one up and play that "Celebration" song you love so much.

[bringbackmarty]

Well, bye. To bad pillowbiterpen isn't on the list

you mean fay git pen? or flying buttmonkey pen?

[Titty Meat]

What'd I do that everyone else on here doesn't do? Pretty simple be an asshole to me i'll be an asshole to you. If i'm violating the TOS let me know and I'll reframe from being an asshole.
