Not to make this a hyde thread.
To a degree other than at 1 point Hyde looks pretty good with the niners but for the last 3 years he's shown a lot of decline. But for essentially a backup role if you feel you can't rely on Darrell Williams to take a couple of carries and not guy a QB killed in pass pro then he isn't exactly worthy of a spot either for a position that is easily replaceable.

He did, though I can't remember which game (maybe the Seahawks?). Chiefs are probably looking at the shitshow they have at backup tackle right now and figure Allen is the best option available currently.

What sucks is that even average OL are in demand yet Allen was just sitting around not on any roster.

We’re on the same page. I just want a different vet RB than Hyde

I'm not the biggest fan of John Dorsey, but I'll give him credit for being able to add decent talent through the waiver wire. I can't say I'm a big fan of having to re-sign castoffs like Parker and Zombo last year and now Allen. Perhaps more due diligence should have been done a while ago to build the roster depth.

Dorsey signed all those guys originally.

I believe Veach did address depth on the OL, they just haven't blossomed the way we hoped. I think we're OK at G and C, it's the backup T I'm worried about.

Maybe Pittsburgh zone blitzing the whole damn game was good for us after all. We got a wakeup call.

I suppose I had too high of expectations for Allegretti. Turns out the 7th rounder is a 7th rounder

He’s moving to corner

More like Alle-not-gonna-be-here-anymore.

Thank Christ. Can't stand to watch him bungle another downed punt opportunity.

No reason to be pumped about Hyde really, I get that, but what veteran out there is better? If we cut him today he would be on a team by the end of the week.

Darrel Williams has done nothing that I can see to keep him over Hyde and since Hyde's contract is guaranteed it doesn't even save money to cut him so...........

I doubt it.

That'd be what, 3 teams in 2 years he's been on? I dunno that there's much left if he gets cut.

Do you really think having veteran depth at RB is remotely the same or as important as having veteran depth at O-line?
