Yelder and Keizer are both getting time, but not this guy... it'd just be nice to know what's going on

I thought Kemp looked pretty limited on special teams, especially as a gunner on punts. He had that chemistry with Patrick a few preseasons ago and I think we were all hoping it would develop, but nah.

Your theory has some merit, but I'm not totally sold either... shouldn't they be wanting to see him in real action by now?

It's not like he's some proven commodity able to just jump in and flip the switch

In three seasons with Arizona (2017 & 2018) and one with Cleveland (2019), he's had 60 receptions for 779 yards and 8 TD's in 8 starts.

He scored a 27 on the Wonderlic, so I wouldn't think that he's having trouble with Andy's WCO concepts but his absence is certainly strange, nonetheless.

Not a big deal, but I am a little surprised because Marcus Kemp has been playing STs.

That puts us down to 5 WRs and we seem to like to have 6 usually on the 53.

We have 6 DEs on the roster with Demone Harris inactive for every game.

We have 4 TEs with Ricky Seals-Jones inactive for every game.

I think the management of the Practice Squad shapes what we did here.

If we get a WR needing to sit out because of injury, we just bounce a WR up from the PS for that game. We have Gehrig Dieter, Maurice Ffrench, Jody Fortson, and Chad Williams all on the PS.

No injury we've been made aware of, iirc

8 scores in 8 starts for other teams

Deafening silence since he's arrived

We'll be fine with or without him, but damned if it isn't worth asking about

It all comes down to blocking and special teams with RSJ. He’s always been subpar as an in-line blocker, and doesn’t play ST’s.

Saying that, I’ve been completely underwhelmed with Keizer. He hasn’t blocked well, and looks lost in his route running. That tipped pass that wasn’t even to him, drove me crazy on Monday night.

I agree. Other than STs, we really haven't used him. Breeland is a more valuable player. As far as RSJ's role with the team, I guess as long as someone has to be inactive, it really doesn't matter.

imo hes only here to take Kelces role in the event of covid or injury.

Yea I mean his value is kinda weird,like he can't be a TE 2 because he isn't a blocker, he's a movement receiver type so if you put him out there with Kelce you are telegraphing it's probably not a run.

KChiefs1 10-07-2020 11:23 AM

I wonder how long it will be before he is starting?

Fenton & Ward have been doing a great job.

It's probably the same as with Washington.

RSJ doesn't compliment Kelce, he plays the same role.

Washington doesn't compliment CEH, he plays the same role.

ASAP. Gotta get him as many game snaps as possible and get him into game shape as well.

I would think Fenton & Ward would start and Fenton might move to the slot when Breeland enters the game. It doesn't really make sense, but it recognizes Fenton and Ward's play.

I think they want Keizer to be Bell and he just hasn't been that good of a blocker (yet).

Mama Hip Rockets 10-07-2020 01:35 PM

Ward
Fenton
Breeland
Mathieu
Thornhill

This secondary is suddenly a huge strength.
