Probably, but you don't pay a guy a few million for year to be a backup guard. Especially one that played well on a SB team.

I think you see Lilja and Asamoah at guard because they can man those positions for several years to come, even more so the case with Asamoah. I think if you can't get a 4th for Waters they try him at center because Asomoah needs to get started at the position he will be playing long term and Waters has always been a team first type of guy and is at the end of his career so as long as he is getting paid why not. He might actually extend his career with the move.

Since are spending is already so low I doubt his hefty salary really matters even under a new CBA.

Lilja was signed before Asamoah was selected in the draft. Furthermore, Lilja wasn't paid a signing bonus.

I don't think they regret the signing or contract at all. Like I said, I fully expect those two to be the starting guards next year with Lilja going back to the left side. Waters is the wild card to me. He either gets a shot at center, is traded, retires, released, or whatever.

Waters is already getting pushed around by DTs and DEs.

Moving him to center at this point in his career is a horrible idea.

NTs will abuse him.

Where do you get this shit? What makes you think the Chiefs CONSTANTLY ran quick screens?

That and I really don't think that screens to McCluster would signify play calling to mask any o-line deficiencies. As the plan is to put him in position to make plays, same could be said for Charles. That said, they didn't run a whole hell of a lot of screens.

You say that moving Asamoah to C would be wasting his abilities to play guard. I think BigCats point is that his talents would be even more wasted while sitting on the bench for another year. Not to mention experience lost. Just b/c he plays Center this year doesn't mean they couldn't slide him out later when Waters is gone/retires.

That said, if they want Asamoah in, they will have to put him at center, or move one of our two starting guards. Whether that be by cut/retirement/trade who knows, otherwise, if nobody moves, he sits.

Not advocating the idea, just speculating.

Awesome.

You just wasted 20 seconds of my life with your nonsense.

Yay me! Idiot.

Yet he continues to be ranked as the #1 OT on just about everyone's draft board. I still need to look at more film though...

He probably will be the #1 tackle off the board. Super high ceiling, terribly low floor, and I think he's got a really good chance of hitting that floor.

I honestly think he has the work ethic but is going to need a lot of solid coaching at the next level... he definitely isn't close to being as polished as I'd like. The more I think about it, the more I think he'll be fine UNLESS we draft him...
