If Ambrose is the one with the most skill in the workouts, then thats who they will take. In any case, it will still be better than Julian Battle/Dexter Mcleon starting in my opinion.

That's exactly what I mean. they're going to get a guy coming in for cheap, to play for them. I don't expect him to be good. I hope he's a bargain, and surprise. You never know? At the very least I just hope he's better than McCleon and Battle.

I would prefer Beasley. He'll make a quality nickel after Warfield gets back, so he's not just a band-aid, he's a legitimate addition to the team.

Ambrose probably excites me the least. I guess we can line him up against Rod Smith and we'll have a mini Old Timers game right there at Incestco.

I would go with both. Past performances in games and workouts. If Ambrose was good in the workouts, and has game experience for the vet minimum? I guess that is there best shot. He does have a probowl, which is good.

DeWayne Washington was able to play in 16 games last year for a good Jax defense.

Yeah, that Rod Smith is a real pain in the ass. I freaking hate seeing #80 on the field against the Chiefs. At least this season we will have someone other than Warfield to try to match up with him.

Ambrose could handle Rice, I dont know if his 34 year old legs could keep up with Lelie all game though. That guy is pretty fast.

Uhhh, Yea. My comment was meant more as a facetious commentary on their age than an actual suggestion for a gameplan. :rolleyes:

This is, of course, all assuming that Warfield is going to be suspended the first 4 games.

There's (supposedly) already rumors floating that the suspension will only be 2 games, which makes me much more comfortable with signing Ambrose.

Like many on this board have already stated, I think the Chiefs are better off the longer this plays out.

I don't think the Chiefs signed Patrick Surtain to line up against Lelie this year do you? :shake:

That's what I thought.

Makes me wonder if maybe the Chiefs have heard something regarding Warfield's suspension (or lack thereof).

Perhaps now they're looking for a nickel replacement (Ambrose) for less money, instead of a potential starter replacement (Washington) that could want more $.

Just a thought......

The Chiefs cant afford to add another top flight player, or this offseason with the way it has gone, Im sure they would have.

We got 3 former pro bowlers and the most decorated linebacker in the draft. Thats four top caliber players in one offseason.

Thats way more than ANYONE ever expected from the Chiefs. Anyone else added for depth on this team right now is gravy.

When youre paying the Vet Minimum, youre not going to be adding superstar players. Besides, think about this. Ambrose will be brought in to replace JULIAN BATTLE. A scrub who has done jack so far during his time with the Chiefs, and before the season started was a bit of a longshot to even make the team.

At the very least on this Ambrose deal if it happens, we break even. Im quite sure that Ambrose still has enough talent to match what Julian Battle could have done this season.

:clap:
Most excellent points!
