Fox, DJ and Fuj play on the same side.

I think that Bell, Still, Caver and Barber play on the other.

Does anyone know where Griffin plays?

It's hard to say if Fox is actually going to be the back up for a specific side, or if he'll just be the #3 LB, since we don't play weak/strong. I'd think that if he was a our third best LB, he could play either side.

I agree on not liking Stills for a back-up. Considering Fujita's price, I think he's probably as good a back-up as you can ask for. I'd rather let Barber go than wait around for him to get healthy. It's not like he's been that stellar when he did play.

On the practice squad.

With Fujita's experience and minimal contract, I think it would be foolish to cut him. He's actually one of KC's draft picks that has worked out.

Woods on the other hand, hasn't been practicing again because of the knee he hurt 2 years ago. He has fluid on it. I think it's time for Romey to hang the cleats up.

Hey, jsp, what do you think of just making this the "Mitch Holthus on Des Moines radio" update thread for the rest of camp?

Works for me.

There probably isn't enough content to justify a new thread every day. I actually think KXNO could stand to cut it back to twice a week or so, but Istill like getting a little bit of Chiefs talk every day.

I think it goes back to what Vermeil said the other day about having to give special consideration to guys that can play ST. He made it sound like they may be forced to keep guys that they otherwise wouldn't have, just because they can play ST.

Wondering why Fuj' couldn't play some Special Teams.

OK, I'm gonna edit the thread title a bit, just to reflect that this will be the ongoing Mitch Holthus thread...

So am I. He hasn't done it much in his career, but you'd think if he could start, he'd be capable of playing ST. I don't pretend to know what it takes to excell at ST, but it appears that Fuji may not have it.

I really can't think of another reason why he wouldn't make the team though. I seriously doubt he's flat out getting beat by Stills for the position.

I hope we keep him. I'm a bit of a Fuji homer, and even though I realize his days are probably numbered anyway, I have to think he'd be a very good back up.

ST's takes the right mentality. Not every NFL guy has that. I've said this many. many times, but Fuji is a very marginal player, whose overrated foot speed has never translated at football speed. JMHO

I don't buy into any of that at all. Fuj likes to hit, and can run. That's all you need to play ST's. Fujita may not be a great OLB, but he's solid. I don't think you throw away Fujita's of the football world.

Like I said, that's just my opinion, but has he ever played on ST's? I don't recall seeing him or hearning his name. Like I said, it's a different mentality, maybe he can adapt in order to save his spot on the team.

No doubt in my mind that he would make a solid backup.

I think it's a total joke. They tied for first in the worst year of the North's existance. How long has McCarney been there now? He's never won jack. They end up third at best.

I HATE the Sucklones and even I can see that they have a good chance.

Best defensive front 7 in the North. One of the best WR's in the conference. A sophomore QB that played well and started every game as a FRESHMAN.

What teams are going to finish ahead of them?
