Ehinger out for year with knee injury

Per matt derrick

[Discuss Thrower]

Not surprising when the broadcasting crew avoids showing the replay.

[Titty Meat]

This sucks. Fulton is a disaster at guard.

Anyone have another source for replay?

[Buns]

I really hope we aren't just running with Fulton at LG, but it is what it is.

[O.city]

That's why you keep Fulton around. Plug him in there and hope it works.

Injuries suck

[The Franchise]

There it is.

[RunKC]

They said he did not have an injury history at Cincy. Sucks that he's been injured 2X already in the NFL

[alpha_omega]

Ouch.

[Buehler445]

Poop shoes.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If you go back and watch it in real time, what happened was a Colts defender's helmet drove straight through the front of his knee cap, so I would assume his knee hyperextended pretty severely. Tough loss. That guy has a nice future, it looked like.

They've started Fulton 23 times in his career. No reason to believe they are afraid of doing it for the rest of the year, right or wrong.

Personally, I prefer Jah Reid at guard.

[KC_Lee]

I swear I heard someone yell "AWWWW F**K!!!" on the play that Ehinger was injured on.

[Bowser]

This sucks. Fulton is a disaster at guard.

Give him some starter reps in practice and he'll come along. If he doesn't, we still have options.

[Bowser]

I swear I heard someone yell "AWWWW F**K!!!" on the play that Ehinger was injured on.

I think you're right. I heard it but wasn't looking at the TV when it happened.

[Bowser]

Hopefully he comes back 100%. Hell of a find by Dorsey.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Eff.

[Reerun_KC]

Re watching the game to see when it happened...

Also, Smith got wrecked on that first hit... I think he needed a snickers... Dude got up looking around like he was in a fog...

[RunKC]

2013-Fisher

We've drafted a good starter every year on the OL. Dorsey will likely draft another as insurance

Was it intentional or accidental? Any time there's a defender named Geathers on the field (or a defender wearing a helmet with something horse-related on it), I'm suspicious.

[The Franchise]

In before Laz calls for Morse to be moved to LG and Fulton to start at C.

[jjchieffan]

Any guards available for trade? The deadline hasn't passed quite yet.

Yeah he was flat out screaming.

Indy we're tackling like dirtbags yesterday.

[MotherfuckerJones]

NFL preaches player safety yet they let their players play on dog shit surfaces like Indy and Oakland. I know this happened from a player but that surface is awful.

Torn ACL. Hopefully he's ready by the start of training camp.

[RunKC]

Halfway through the NFL season and we have only lost 1 player for good and we're getting 1 back.

Hopefully DJ White will be back by December

[Rain Man]

Same here, but to be totally honest I would make an exception for football played on a gigantic slip and slide.

[DaFace]

This makes me ehingry.

I wonder if there is research on concussions at Indy. We lost Smith (twice) and Ware, they lost Davis. On the same field where Charles (and Flowers?) were taken out of the game for concussions in the 2014 playoff game.

[ThaVirus]

Ah well. He'll still get issues a Super Bowl ring.

[alanm]

I swear I heard someone yell "AWWWW F**K!!!" on the play that Ehinger was injured on.So did I.

[Rain Man]

Ah well. He'll still get issues a Super Bowl ring.

Now that you mention it, they should scale Super Bowl rings based on the amount of playing time you had in the season. A full time starter for all 19 or 20 games would get a full-size ring, and backups would get scaled down versions. If you're the third string quarterback, for example, you'd get a gold band that has "Super Bowl" engraved on it.

[Simply Red]

Sankey more like Jankey!

[loochy]

Torn ACL. Hopefully he's ready by the start of training camp.

Hopefully there's no "unexplained swelling" or "the ligament isn't healing" or "he isn't responding to treatment" or "he has to go see Dr. Andrews again this week"

[Mr. Laz]

In before Laz calls for Morse to be moved to LG and Fulton to start at C.

I've given up on that idea.

Chiefs will move the 1st pick of the draft 3/4 times in 2 years but will never touch Morse.

[gblowfish]

This development makes me Ehngry.

[Mr. Laz]

This sucks. Fulton is a disaster at guard.
He's been better than Ehringer all year long.

I like that idea.

So, like, the whole shebang for Goodell and the refs for the Broncos SB win last year and a band for the players.

[jjchieffan]

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but the Chiefs have signed OG Mike Person. I know nothing about him other than he started 14 games for Atlanta last year.

[jjchieffan]

I did some digging and found this on him. Apparently he started at center, so now we have a guy that can play at both positions.

By almost any measure you choose, Mike Person was more successful than any of us would have dared dream this past season. He went from a three year likely depth signing to the starting center, finishing up the 2015 season with 14 games started.

Yet despite his unexpected success, Person heads into this coming season with no guarantee that he'll have a starting job, and a widespread expectation that he will not longer be playing center. For those who missed Person's odd season, he's up in our roster review.

The thrill of blocking, the agony of snapping
Person won the starting job over James Stone and Gino Gradkowski after Joe Hawley was cut, and for a while, it looked pretty brilliant. He was a capable run blocking center much of the year, and despite some notably bad games in pass protection, Person was generally not the biggest problem on the interior, where Andy Levitre and Chris Chester sometimes struggled mightily. I'm not suggesting he was good, but he was better than any of us had a right to expect.

Unfortunately, though, he tended to pair his worst performances with bad snaps. You can make a very reasonable argument that the Falcons are a 10-6 football team without some of Person's poor snaps, and while you can say the same thing for Matt Ryan interceptions, poor Dan Quinn in-game decisions, and the complete lack of a pass rush, it stings because these were some bizarre, unforced errors. If Person doesn't botch a snap in 2015, chances are we're singing his praises right now, but he messed up multiple times, and that has most Falcons fans calling for his head.

Contract Status
Person is under contract for two more years, with a $1.16 million cap hit with $333,000 in dead money for 2016, and a $1.27 cap hit with about $167,000 in dead money for 2017. Whether he starts or not, it's a pretty affordable deal.

2016 Outlook
Person's generally competent blocking and affordability makes him a logical option to replace Chris Chester at right guard, if the Falcons think he's big and strong enough to handle that position, or at least a long look as the team's versatile backup option on the interior of the offensive line. Unless he can convince the Falcons that his snapping is so greatly improved that he won't be making any crushing mistakes, though, his time as the starter at the pivot is probably over.

Looks like a good swing C/G signing.

I've experienced that as well and damn does it hurt, but I didn't tear any ligaments. I can't imagine what he felt like.

Pretty much... not gonna get hyped up about our injured second year guard getting ready to "start joggin" again

I'm gonna need another A+ draft that includes a wildly talented QB, and choice free agency period to get the blood flowing again... until then, I'm sleepy

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm gonna need another A+ draft that includes a wildly talented QB, and choice free agency period to get the blood flowing again... until then, I'm sleepy

I hate to break it to you but there aren't any "wildly" talented QB's, outside of *maybe* Mitch Trubisky (and the Chiefs will have no shot at drafting him).

As for Free Agency, I wouldn't expect much because:

A) There's not much talent available
B) The Chiefs don't have much cap space
C) They have too many players of their own to lock up.

This will likely be a very quiet Free Agency period for the Chiefs in terms of bringing in players from other teams.

[O.city]

Someone should make a free agency thread.

I'd like to see them bring in some decent free agents at ilb. Nothing crazy, but maybe an under the radar type guy?

You're correct, "wildly talented" was said mostly tongue in cheek, have posted several times before that if they arent in love with any QB this year... then wait until next year for the deeper pool

The basic sentiment is... if there is no new QB beside Foles (hopefully) this year, then at least slam the draft otherwise and get me just one selective impact free agent, and that doesnt have to mean expensive
