:rolleyes:

Not yet we need to lose the first 5 of 6 before that would be appropriate.

Logical, is there ANYTHING that you're not accepting defeat on these days?

I am still expecting the UCLA Bruins to win the Pac 10 in BB.:D

The only real weakness is defensive tackle. Krumrie is going to whip that ass into shape, so we'll be good there.

Get ready. This is the year of the defense. And it is going to ROCK.

except for the DT part, I agree...our D has real talent in Allen/DJ/Mitchell/Law/Surtain....throw in Hali and a healthy Bell (big IF) and we're really looking good..

i'm thinking we might survive ok without roaf...

larry has really learned to set blocks up and then take advantage of whichever way the defender tries to go around the blocker, larry goes the other way at top speed...

so larry will make it a little easier on anybody who tries to fill that spot...

good heavens, i hope jordan black suddenly improves...

turley looks like a shrimp next to the other olinemen...

go bo 07-28-2006 11:40 PM

and a very skinny shrimp at that...

I still think we could survive at RT by using Dunn there and Turley as the blocking TE. I just see no one to protect Green's backside and with no passing game they will shut down LJ tighter than a virgin's box.

They didn't shut down LJ when Roaf was out last season.

but will a cover 2 mostly zone be a good fit for all that talent?

somehow i have trouble seeing bell drop back in coverage almost all the time...

and if we don't get any push up the middle, enemy qb's will just step up into the pocket to avoid allen and hali...

maybe krumrie can get something out of the host of dt's that we have on the roster right now...

and maybe jr. will get miraculously healed just before he gets cut and suddenly turn into the stud that they thought they drafted in the freaking second round...

we have wasted a lot of draft picks trying to get 2 decent dt's, and it looks like jr. is headed out the door (isn't he on the pup list now?)...

i thought we had some pretty good dl coaches before, but maybe the krum man can work a miracle...

i thought the plan in tc last year was to have sampson start at rt...

he's healthy this year, maybe we're ok there, we haven't really seen enough of him to know if he can handle the starter's job...

black's gonna have to do at lt until svitek gets some more experience/coaching...

ouch...

no, our DTs are terrible for a cover two....cross your fingers and pray for Sims...

I'm drunk and therefore hopeful.....

Fox is a better fit then Bell. But I'm dreaming of the rookie Bell that scared people just by looking at them...

I think we should consider asking Will Shields and Priest to go ahead and retire opening up roster space for some projects. We should also have some scouts out (if possible) looking for prospect that might be cut worth pursuing.

So what are your thoughts on the best way to start rebuilding?

re-load instead.

Re-load is just a nice sounding way to say rebuild. I have only suggested we replace two player that were going to be starters, Roaf (we have no choice) and Shields who has only 1 year at most left and who showed last year his tank is running near empty.

Well, I'm not ready to throw in the towel right now but if the Chiefs start off horribly (like 1 and 4 or something) then I would want the coaching staff to start playing more of the youngsters and preparing for the future.

Just for clarification, by youngsters I mean the young wide receivers, the young safeties, Hali and the young OTs.

Rausch 07-29-2006 12:13 AM

When we finally win the whole mess Jim I'm going to hide in your fridge and jump out with a flying batwing that would shock and awe everyone in the film "Waiting..."
