I'm sure we've got some experts at penetrating the backfield on here.

This thread has turned full on gay.

^ yup. Quit posting pics of Waller as a Raider. The guy is 28 he’s been in the league for like 6 years.

He was smaller than Jody currently is when he was a young kid.

1. If the Chiefs are looking for a blocking TE, they'll likely put Bell out there.

2. He's not a better receiver than those guys. If he were, he'd still be playing WR.

He's too big and slow to be an NFL WR, and right now he's too thin to be an every down TE. His blocking is likely very underwhelming. Thus, he's a tweener.

Now, how do tweeners usually fair in the NFL? Go ahead and play those odds.

Can he come in and make some occasional catches for us? Sure! Of course!

But i think he needs another season or two at least to be a serviceable #2 TE.

Great.

So you both agree then that Jody needs to get bigger. More time in the oven. Thus, putting into question his ability to secure a roster spot THIS season.

You both agree that Waller wasn't shit until he bulked up and grew into a TE's body. Which is exactly what im saying about Fortson.

The question is, how much time do the Chiefs give him to do that?

Is Fortson's ass wide enough to "line up in the slot", or would he need to tie a 2x4 to his ass first?

The most explosive players in the league got booty. Just a fact of football life.

It's where the power is generated from.

Say it with me, "No booty = no power".

Wow we really are starting 3 rookies on the OL aren’t we? Nate Taylor said on his recent pod that Andy has never in his career started more than one rookie on the OL, especially to start a season.

This is a big shift from him Andy. He doesn’t give a **** anymore. Damn has Patrick changed his mindset for the better

It’s definitely for the best long term. If Brown is legit in our offense and we extend, the line is set for 3 years. That’s pretty awesome.

We can use our cash and picks elsewhere unless an absolutely steal falls to us. Great stuff.

I would give him a couple of seasons to bulk up.

To be fair I think that was the initial plan but injuries to Long, LDT, and Remmers changed things.

2.5 weeks

NO BOOTY = NO POWER!

Are you saying that Fortson won't make the team or won't make it as a tight end?

Because I think he's making the team. Whether he continues to develop as a tight end is another thing.

Today's NFL is more about athleticism than size. Now that won't always be the case and he'll need to bulk more to avoid injuries, but he's probably making the roster as a TE.
