Depends who you have to face...

Like having Casey Weigman at center in our division is a detriment because of all the 3-4 teams that have nose tackles he can't handle.

Average weight = 308.2

Take it for what it is worth

According to 610 Sports' Chris Hamblin, there were two other teams in the bidding for Lilja -- Seattle and Houston -- and both were offering more money than the Chiefs as of yesterday.

It's fun to act like Mr. Biswas to the Tulsi true fans.

I think you're greatly underestimating his ability, especially when it was clear to even the most uniformed fans that the play of the line in both 2008 and 2009 improved significantly when he was on the field.

Titty Meat 03-16-2010 03:27 PM

You seem to underestimate the value of a guy who can play 3 positions and play them well.

Eh, I like what the Chiefs have done in this offseason much better than last season.

Chambers proved he could still play at an average to above average level, so I liked his re-sigining. I think that TJ can most certainly help the Chiefs this season, espeically given that Charles has had issues staying healthy week to week in the past.

I'm not real high on the Lilja signing because obviously, I thought that Wade Smith was a better option.

As long as Lilja's signing doesn't interfere with the development of Colin Brown, I'll be okay with it. But if it's like last year, where Goff was clearly the worst lineman on the team yet continued to play when healthy, it won't sit well with me.

At all.

I like this signing, but that doesnt mean it was ok to let Wade leave.

Where did the talk of Lilja failing a physical come from? Is there a link I missed somewhere? I have taken time to read through three threads on three different colts boards and havent read that rumor anywhere but here.

They are pretty universal that Lilja was their second best linemen and was let go because they are switching blocking schemes to one that requires bigger blockers now that Howard Mudd is officially retired for good.

Sounds like speculation more than anything. I like the signing.

Speculation? Dude, did you even READ what you linked us to?

The Chiefs needed a right guard after releasing an ineffective Mike Goff and losing Wade Smith to the Texans. Lilja is a major health risk after reportedly failing a physical with the Colts, but he's a solid addition at a position of need if his knees respond to an offseason of rest.

I haven't had the time to look, but how many games did Ryan Lilja miss in 2009?

I like the Thomas Jones signing and Shaun Smith signing however like last year none of these guys will be solid starters. It's obvious this team wants to find it's starters in the draft which is good but I don't trust Pioli to make great draft picks.
