Dorsey sure does seem to know where talent is

[RunKC]

Duck Dynasty McGrath
Marcus Cooper
Kevin Brock
Ron Parker

All these guys were brought in off the street and have made big plays in the games so far.

It's too early to tell, but right now I think we just might have an elite GM running things here, folks.

Love what Dorsey is doing so far.

[Psyko Tek]

love all those guys, he is goood

[Bump]

better than all of our draft picks combined!

Meh on Parker and Brock. Great find on McGrath and Cooper. Throw in Akeem Jordan and our deep safety depth as well.

[Rausch]

Our other ILB isn't half bad either...

[RealSNR]

Brock made a nice play, but I'd still rather he shovel shit off this team.

Fasano still needs to get back soon.

McGrath on the other hand is legit.

[RainMaker]

This week makes him look like a freaking savant.

[Mr. Laz]

I want Cooper to take Dunta Robinson job over completely

Sean Smith and Marcus Cooper should start until Flowers comes back and then Cooper should be the first CB off the bench.


I still think Demps should start over Lewis as well


Love the gritty job by McGrath too

[keg in kc]

Cooper looked fucking great. After I heard Flowers was out, I expected a whole game of plays like that bomb over Dunta.

[BlackHelicopters]

And he is always looking for upgrades

[Mr. Laz]

Cooper looked ****ing great. After I heard Flowers was out, I expected a whole game of plays like that bomb over Dunta.
It would have been without Cooper.


They started hiding Robinson in the slot with Safety help.

[aturnis]

Exactly this.

[Cannibal]

Fisher needs to stop playing like an 8 year old girl. That could prove to be a thorn in the side of Dorsey's record.

[keg in kc]

I've got a feeling that as soon as the season's over we're going to hear that Fisher's had a relatively serious nagging injury (shoulder I would guess) since camp and that he's immediately going under the knife.

[siberian khatru]

It would have been without Cooper.


They started hiding Robinson in the slot with Safety help.

Props to Cooper for stepping up, but also to Sutton for quickly making a fix.

[RealSNR]

Can we cut Robinson this offseason and save money?

Start stocking up on contracts for Houston and Berry.

[Rausch]

He's either hurt or has absolutely no upper body strength...

[Rausch]

Trade for a 7th?

He should be a b/u FS and not CB...

[Molitoth]

McGrath is awesome.

[Mr. Laz]

McGrath is awesome.
Beard Man!!!!

tough,gritty and fairly athletic


love it :)

[Strongside]

That's what good GM's do. Injuries don't kill your team when you've got good talent in the pipeline.

[notorious]

I wouldn't call McGrath good talent. He does his job and catches the ball (without breaking into pieces).

That's more then we have seen at tight end since Tony G.

[DaFace]

I'm very pleased, though I'll wait for a decent draft or two (and this one is a bit suspect so far) to start calling him "elite."

[DaneMcCloud]

I wouldn't call McGrath good talent. He does his job and catches the ball (without breaking into pieces).

That's more then we have seen at tight end since Tony G.

Dude, he went to Henderson State University. The mere fact that he's playing in the NFL, let alone catching touchdown passes, is unreal.

He's got serious talent.

Dorsey's doing an amazing job churning the roster. Parker, McGrath and Cooper look like real keepers.

[DaneMcCloud]

McGrath is awesome.

The Chiefs need more Mc's on their roster.

McGrath and McCluster were Smith's most reliable targets today.

[mcaj22]

Dunta is the only fail


and thats not bad seeing how everything Fat Scott did outside of 3 obvious draft picks was a failure

[tredadda]

That's what good GM's do. Injuries don't kill your team when you've got good talent in the pipeline.

^ This. All teams deal with injuries. Truly deep teams overcome them. This is exactly what Dorsey is doing for us, making us a deep team.

[keg in kc]

Dunta is the only fail


and thats not bad seeing how everything Fat Scott did outside of 3 obvious draft picks was a failureAnd that Dunta fail looked to be quickly replaced with another player right after he was torched.

[Steron]

I have to believe he's hurt.

[TribalElder]

As long as fisher keeps showing signs of a concussion the rest of the season, then we should be good

[tredadda]

I have to believe he's hurt.

I thought I heard the announcers state that Stephenson came in for Fisher, so there might be something to that.

[PunkinDrublic]

I wouldn't call McGrath good talent. He does his job and catches the ball (without breaking into pieces).

He can catch the ball and stay healthy. He's the anti-Moeaki.

[DaneMcCloud]

LMAO

You didn't see him on the field?

[Red Dawg]

Duck Dynasty Baby!

[Psyko Tek]

I love the beard
and cooper, is smith one of the guys off the street?


guess you can get guys of the street to win games,
if you know talent

[eDave]

The Chiefs need more Mc's on their roster.

McGrath and McCluster were Smith's most reliable targets today.

McBowe has a nice ring to it.

[tredadda]

LMAO

You didn't see him on the field?

I did to start the game. I am basing what I said on what I heard the announcers say. I don't make watching Fisher a hobby.

[Brock]

That's more then we have seen at tight end since Tony G.

He's obviously talented.

[Easy 6]

To be fair, he DID bring in Axl Smythe, so yeah it kinda kills all this other feel good crap... :sulk:

[Rausch]

I have to believe he's hurt.

It's possible. He is playing with injury - that's fact.

It's also fact he was clowned and unimpressive in TC and the whole of the preseason...

[Pablo]

It's possible. He is playing with injury - that's fact.

It's also fact he was clowned and unimpressive in TC and the whole of the preseason...Oft-injured clown dick thus far.

Dunta looks pretty unimpressive; but everyone else seems to be on track.

[the Talking Can]

i had no idea who cooper or brock were...ROFL

mcgrath is an amazing pickup given our injuries there, that guy is tough

[mdchiefsfan]

Good God, he's a 3rd string TE what do you expect when we speak of talent?

[DaneMcCloud]

Good God, he's a 3rd string TE what do you expect when we speak of talent?

If he continues to improve each week as he has, he's no longer the #3 guy, he's a solid #2.

Let Kelce recover properly and learn. Fasano and McGrath would be pretty awesome.

[mdchiefsfan]

Exactly what I was thinking while watching him play. That man is making a bid to be a part of this team. Two TE sets with Fasano and McGrath would be brutal to defend and could improve our ground game

[Rausch]

Oft-injured clown dick thus far.

Fuck I hate clowns...

[dallaschiefsfan]

Isn't Dunta supposed to be exclusively a slot CB? I'm not saying he's all-world at it...just that he was supposed to be brought in exclusively for that role. I was pretty shocked they had him on the outside at the beginning due to what I recalled at his signing. When Flowers was ruled out, I figured the next "normal" corner in line behind Flowers/Smith would start. Hopefully, that's the way it will be going forward because yeah...Cooper was great and Dunta was at best, out of position and at worst, exposed as a bad CB, slot or outside.

[mcaj22]

Dunta has no position, he's old and washed up trying to hang with younger, faster players with just one leg pretty much. you are paying him 5 million to get burned outside, inside, where ever by teams #1 WRs, TEs, RBs, 5th string players it does not matter

today proved you can pick a guy up off the scrap heap for 1/100th of the price and he can do a better job than Dunta. That's the point.

[MotherfuckerJones]

His guys are producing absolutely love it. The waiver 7 have made a big impact this year. McGrath, Cooper, Parker, Moses, etc

[DaneMcCloud]

Scrap heap? Cooper is a rookie.

Aren't you the same turdcutter that bitched incessantly about trading Arenas for Sherman?

I recall it being more of a "Smith vs. Robinson for starting CB" thing (which Dunta clearly lost).

[mcaj22]

Cooper was cut from a team, he was a 7th round pick

that is the definition of late August FA scrap pile. Nobody expected anything of him, certainly not the 49ers.

[MotherfuckerJones]

I'm fine with dunta. He's good veteran depth. News flash...Cruz burns secondaries for big TDs consistently. We adjusted and were fine

[DaneMcCloud]

Bullshit.

And apparently, the 49ers fucked up.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Arenas showed zilch. Cooper showed he can play. We'll see how he develops

[mcaj22]

Bullshit.

And apparently, the 49ers ****ed up.

I do agree that the 49ers screwed up there

[MotherfuckerJones]

This is why we got Dorsey. He finds guys that make impacts.

[DaneMcCloud]

I do agree that the 49ers screwed up there

They waived him with the intent to sign him to the PS and the Chiefs, having waiver priority due to their 2-14 record, claimed him.

Dorsey has been a magician working the waiver wire. The best part is that if Cooper continues to play well, he's under a 7th round, 4 year contract.

[Rausch]

Arenas showed zilch. Cooper showed he can play. We'll see how he develops

I have to admit I was very impressed with Cooper.

That said postpone the circle jerk until we have a larger sample size than 1 game...

[DaneMcCloud]

The Chiefs "got" Dorsey due to Andy Reid.

[MotherfuckerJones]

The Chiefs "got" Dorsey due to Andy Reid.

Ya I know that. I was here

Thanks for confirming that you don't know how to watch football

[Rausch]

Who was hired first?...

[DaneMcCloud]

LMAO

[DaneMcCloud]

Uh...

[MotherfuckerJones]

Who was hired first?...

Reid

[ChiefsCountry]

Well he is doing a good job with wavier wire pickups, draft picks on the other hand.....

[JohnnyHammersticks]

**** I hate clowns...

Better not watch the Broncos games then. Can you imagine how badly Manning and Welker are going to clown Dunta? Peyton might have another 7 TD game, and they might all go to Welker if they don't give Robinson some serious Safety help.

[tredadda]

Thanks for confirming that you don't know how to watch football

Actually I do, I just don't pay attention to our RT, guys like our QB, RB and WRs seem to occupy the majority of my attention. Apparently he did leave and not come back, soooooooooooo it looks like what I initially said was true. Maybe you saw him dominating in the 4th quarter, not sure. Maybe that was what I missed.

[mcaj22]

that was I assume the plan was the whole time, find teams better than us with more depth, and snipe their guys they are trying to pass through the practice squad.

That's what he did with Seahawks and 49ers players, same can be said about McGrath, Parker, etc

Dorsey knew guys like Jalil Brown, Devon Wylie, Powe were absolute expendable and replaceable roster garbage just taking up space and he used that extra day to replace all them with 7 new players that have been pretty much stepping up and contributing unlike any of the depth we have had the last four seasons being hyped around here (cough, Powe)

You missed the fact that the starting right tackle was replaced.

That's the definition of not paying attention or knowing how to watch a game.

Next time, watch the line. Maybe you'll learn something.

[dallaschiefsfan]

I recall it being more of a "Smith vs. Robinson for starting CB" thing (which Dunta clearly lost).

I was way too tuned into the Royals this year to pay as much attention to training camp, so I can't argue with you as to whether there was an actual competition. But when we actually signed Smith I could have sworn that it was a foregone conclusion that he would be playing opposite Flowers in the and that Dunta was always meant to be the slot guy.

[tredadda]

That's the definition of not paying attention or knowing how to watch a game.

:spock: I stated that I heard that Stephenson replaced Fisher................our RT and somehow I missed something. Did he not get replaced? If he did, then what part did I miss? Oh and what can learn by watching the line?

[T-post Tom]

[penchief]

Dorsey has done a good job so far. But to be fair he won't always have first shot at these guys by virtue of the worst record.

I think what this may indicate is that Dorsey could be good at finding talent in the later rounds of the draft. Let's hope anyway.

[Dayze]

I really like McGrath. I don't think he's a world beater by any means, but on this team, he's arguably better than our #1 TE. He does seem to know how to read the zone coverage and get to the soft spot. I haven't paid much attention to his run blocking.

[ChiTown]

My favorite player thus far is our homeless TE. Dude has been MOE-NAY!

[Omaha]

^ This. All teams deal with injuries. Truly deep teams overcome them. This is exactly what Dorsey is doing for us, making us a deep team.

A few years ago, when Green Bay won their SB, they were decimated by injuries.

[TEX]

He's not better than Fasano from a talent perspective. Course you gotta be healthy to play so...

[DaWolf]

The free agent signings have been productive so far as well. I can't think of a single productive free agent we signed during the Pioli era...

[Line Judge]

From a post by Direckshun: The problem: McGrath and Brock are atrocious blockers. In the runblock game, they are total liabilities. Brock's man blew up the run every ****ing down Brock was in. McGrath gets so lost, one time he slammed into Asamoah trying to weed through the mess. Fasano would be a welcome improvement, at the very least, in the blocking game.

[Mr. Laz]

Fasano and McGrath would be a pretty good blue collar set of TE's.

no flash ... just play hard and catch the ball.


I just know that Moeaki's leg would of shattered if he took one of the hits that McGrath took TWICE against the Giants.
