LB ERIK WALDEN – Claimed off waivers from Dallas before the first game of the season, Walden is leading the Chiefs special teams with 10 tackles. “He can run and hit,” said Edwards. “He’s done a real good job on special teams. He’s an interesting guy for us and what he might be able to do on defense as well.”


22.5 sacks in college so he has the ability.

I'd like to see him play some at DE/Rush End/Rush LB like in place of Demorrio in some situations. He was a ROLB in the dallas 34 scheme. Tuff for Demorrio to do much other than bull rush till he gets his cast off his hand.

There were some in the dallas org that were pissed when they cut him and expected he could be a contributor. Good find by Ray Farmer and the pro personel department.

On the Carr vs. Smith deal......
 
I was pissed when i saw he was on SS. I expected Flowers on Smith and Carr on Muhumid. Like Denver with Carr on Marshall and Flowers on Royal.

But, Smith is about as good as you can face for the smallish WR's.

Something to look back and grow from.

And I agree it coulda been worse.

In other news ... Earlier this evening, a lady person I know said these words to me in parting, "Ta, ta." It struck me as very unusual because you rarely hear that said anymore ... at least around here.

Nevertheless, it started me thinking about something ... why are there two "tas" instead of just one "ta" or maybe even three "tas" in that phrase? I guess one "ta" might sound like she's choking and wants to avoid suffering through an humiliating Heimlich Maneuver whilst having her breasts crushed like ripe canteloupe in someone's anxious and altogether unnecessary urgent grasp. And I guess three "tas" might sound a little like she was impersonating a machine gun out of the blue which is kind of classless, when you think about it. Nevertheless, those may not actually be the real reasons. Do you guys, by any chance, know why we live in a two "ta" world?

Think how silly a bikini top would look it there were only one.

G BRIAN DE LA PUENTE – Claimed off waivers before the opener, after he was released by San Francisco, De La Puente has been inactive for every game. “We’re probably going to move him to center,” said Edwards. “We think he might be able to play that position and play it well.”

I kinda wondered if they might do that. When we claimed him, looking at his pics on Getty, his body type reminded me of Grunhard. Plus they listed him shorter at 6'2 than the 49ers did listing him a inch or two taller.

:spock:

Damn you Cottom, for not tackling after the QB turns the ball over. :cuss:

So Herm, how is [Insert Name Here] doing?

“He’s doing OK,” Edwards said. “He’s getting better. He’s a good football player. He’s done a real good job on special teams."

Most guys I know prefer two ta-ta's. They are unbalanced if there is only one and I don't have enough hands for three. So it seems two ta-ta's are best.

I love how Squirmin Herman always puts in "football" in all his goddamned interviews. For the love of Christ man, we KNOW you are talking about football you jack ass sack of shit. Herm is trying to sound smart or tough or something and it pisses me the **** off.

Welcome to the NFL.

96 yards is getting your ass kicked? Gimme a break, he had trouble with him, but he is a ROOKIE. Did you expect him to hold him to 0 catches?

Again it was 96 yards in three quarters. The Panthers weren't even forced to pass because they were ahead the entire game. And Smith dropped a touchdown pass early in the game that he had toasted Carr on big time.

Carr got his ass kicked up and down the field. Let's not sugar coat it.

Excellent point.

I'm ok with this, but I still believe they are missing the boat here.

I really think that Herb Taylor should be transitioned to center, with Niswanger moving to RG, and rookie or Richardson to RT next year.

You think Taylor is a Center? Why do you say that?

His college defensive coordinator told me that he's a beast.

Dallas wanted to keep him but really didn't have the room.

He's been a great addition and hopefully, the Chiefs will figure out how to use him on defense.
