Well, they needed to waive someone since they were down to six offensive lineman.

RNR will likely end up on the PS, then Devey is waived after Ehinger and LDT are available again.

Typical of last year but it's slightly surprising that it wasn't Pughsley.

Yes. What's this team's obsession with white OL? Devey sucks.

Also, we're down to 5 DL and King is rotting on the practice squad while we have 9 combined RBs and TEs. I suppose Nicolas and Hali can play some emergency DL

We're also short on DL. Says a lot, IMO. Though to be fair, he was inactive last week, so apparently they are comfortable with 5 DL

RNR is a 6th round draft choice that didn't play much football before college but has the upside to be a rotational player. Saccopoo was super high on him but I think he's the only guy that was really pimping hard.

This is just another procedural move. Short on OL, waive the lowest man on the totem pole at DL. This shit happens all year long with these guys, as Pughsley's been up and down, Frankie Hammond's been up and down, etc. and so on.

RNR will play football this year.

Probably for us. Soon as we get our guards back Devey will be on the street again.

Devey, though? We already have a project swing tackle as depth. Pughsley or Munyer provide us guard depth.

Did anybody watch Devey that closely this year in the preseason? Was he that good?

Has RNR even played a single regular season snap in his NFL career?

If I'm to compare him to another 6th round Chiefs defensive lineman, at this point he's Jerrell Powe. And Powe at least managed to get on the field infrequently.

I somewhat agree w/ Clay on this one...there were a good number of people on this site thinking he was going to be a solid primary backup or Chiefs' primary 3rd down guy. But starter? I dunno about that.

But man they REALLY fucked up trying to hide Irving on the PS.

Do we even draft Chris Jones or re-sign Howard to a deal if Irving were to make the roster? Who does KC draft instead of Jones or does Howard's money go towards a Berry or Poe deal? Who knows..

Not surprised it's Devey because they had him playing center getting some snaps in regular and shotgun late in the Green Bay game. So they figure the two players on the roster that can play center are starting tomorrow and Munyer isn't on the ps. So they go with Devey over Pughsley. I still think Pughsley is most worthy of that 8th OL spot on the roster when everyone is healthy though

Blocked a couple FGs last year. From what I saw this preseason he was starting at LE and made some tackles for loss and flashing some pass rush. I haven't looked at his stats and he's probably not ready to start but will continue to develop for them. 4-3 is probably much better for him in the long run not having to bulk up as much

09-17-2016, 12:35 PM

It's definitely a position of depth but man, they really need to draft more offensive lineman because their starters just can't seem to stay healthy.

I think Fulton will be more than fine but I have my reservations about Reid.

And Devey is on the field, look out. That guy has been hated in every stop, whether with NE or SF.

It's so ****ing frustrating. It's the same shit every year with the OL. LDT was looking like our most improved offensive player too.

With all of the comp picks in 2017, I expect Dorsey to address the guard position within the first four rounds again, if not the first three.

Fulton will also be in the last year of his deal, as will LDT.

As much as I like LDT's upside, missing the playoffs and now, an important game in Houston, is not really ideal long term at the RG position.

I felt the same once I saw Devey was even signed to the ps since he's already 28. Just don't feel he's that good but ever since I saw the rookie got a concussion in practice and LDT having the high ankle sprain I figured Devey would be the guy strictly because of his center snaps. I guess they even value him above Munyer which I can only understand from strictly a size and experience point of view but that's it. Where the kid they claimed from Dallas, the new OT I don't know that he lasts long on the 53 for sure but they are getting a long look. I agree depth is a concern. Reid is limited to G and RT even though he's gonna need help in pass protection there and putting him at LT isn't even an option. So he's become less valuable from a versatility standpoint. I'm glad they've been able to hang onto Pughsley. Maybe try to give him some center snaps and who knows have a poor mans Jeff Allen who could play any of the 5 spots. But I agree and hope they keep trying out OL and develop another one like they have with Pughsley

Yeah, he might be out for a while.

Fisher had the high ankle sprain in preseason last year and it took weeks for him to get back on the field, missing the game against the Texans last year.

FWIW, this website says it can take as long as 6-7 weeks for athletes to recover from a high ankle sprain.

I feel the opposite - Reid was better at guard than he was at RT, although the sample size was smaller for his guard play opportunities. Fulton's best position is Center. But he will always be a #2 behind Morse and rightly so. I think the run game will see little drop off, but Fulton is a bit spotty in pass pro. Ehinger bounced back nicely last week after a poor first half. Let's hope Fulton and Reid are not noticed this Sunday....

Dude, when they're dropping guys from the PS and adding them to the 53, there's a problem.

Reid is barely average, if that. Devey is a dumpster fire. Bryan Witzmann? Do you want to go into a game with Bryan Witzmann as your left tackle?

The Chiefs need to draft at least another guard and tackle next season to groom and develop. They're going to lose Fulton or LDT after 2017 and their depth is average at best right now.

But as we've seen with this regime, they're really good at getting guys worked up to spot start and play well.

At this point in time, Fulton is more reliable and more versatile than LDT and Fulton can definitely start in this league, especially at center.

With LDT's concussion history and now high ankle sprain, in which it would be shocking if he returned any time soon, I'm not sure you take the gamble on him with a contract extension, especially since he has another career in mind.

Fulton may be able to start, but that's about where it ends with him. He's not likely to be more than an adequate starter, whereas were seeing ldt can be much more than that.

I think there are plenty of teams in which Fulton could start at center and be effective. He'll likely never be a Pro Bowler but being available each week is yuge.

I don't like it either. The Chiefs have Fisher and Schwartz for five more years, Morse until 2018, LDT and Fulton until 2017.

I don't disagree about LDT but I continue to question his love and tolerance of the game. He's the only guy on the Chiefs team (and maybe the NFL) who is guaranteed to earn at least $150k per year post-NFL, if not double that amount. My concern is that if he endures too many more injuries, I can see him saying adios.

Fulton's an average player but he has value in his versatility and would easily find a starting role on another NFL team if given a chance.

Um the Tard is making what, 600k this season? And you think he is going to up and quit because he make 150-225k a year being a Doctor and actually having to work all the time? If he keeps playing well he's going to BANK in a couple years. Him hanging it up is the least of my concerns.

Same.

Dude has the rest of his life to be a doctor.

You obviously missed the part where I said:

"I continue to question his love and tolerance of the game. My concern is that if he endures too many more injuries, I can see him saying adios".

As someone who's already serving residency, his post football career is locked up.

99% of the other NFL players can't say the same thing.

I think when the time is right Dorse needs to sign him to a friendly extention.

More and more guys are doing that already, and it's not because they have the education to do so.

Could it accelerate the process? Maybe.

No because then you went on to talk about $$$.

There is no reason to question his love of the game. To my knowledge he's never said anything about CTE or injuries. So are we just questioning his commitment because he's not just some dumb jock?

That's my concern.

He suffered at least one concussion last year and he knows more about them from a medical standpoint than probably any other NFL player.

Of course, because he's not going to be destitute or looking for a job after his football career has ended, which again, is unlike 99% of current NFL players.

Actually, after a quick web search, he has mentioned it:

http://www.espn.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/75642/current-chief-and-future-doctor-laurent-duvernay-tardif-has-weighed-concussion-risks

“It’s your responsibility as a player to take care of your health," he said. “It’s also your responsibility to ask yourself after you have an injury, ‘Is it still worth it for me to play?’ It’s a hard question, obviously. I had that conversation with my parents after my concussion. I was like, ‘Is it still worth it for me to play?’

“It was a no-brainer to me. It’s still worth it. Football is more than just a game. I enjoy it. It was my first concussion and I recovered pretty quickly. Putting that all into account, for me at that point, it’s worth it to play football, and I want to play football."

So, he has thought about and it's worth it right now.

What happens if he's concussed again?

Well then its a good thing he's still under a cheap contract next year. He's been a bargin.

He's only started 14 games since he was drafted in 2014 out of a possible 34 games (not including the playoffs, in which he was out).

I'd prefer to see him start 16 game season but that's not happening this year.

Bargain? He didn't step foot on the field in 2014.

He started 13 games last year and one game this year.

He has a really high ceiling and I'd like nothing more than for him to be a long term solution.

But due to his offseason pursuit of a medical degree, I think the reason for him to remain in the NFL, especially after injury, is different than all but a handful of NFL players.

He was featured on Chiefs Insider this morning. I had no idea this guy was such an animated, trash-talking motivator!

How about you start a new thread next time?

Yes, I looked at the date of the thread, but there was two seconds where I went, "What the fuck?"
