Definitely upgraded. Lilja has played on 2 superbowl teams. That is more than anyone else on our team can say. Now the question is, WTF are they going to play him?

Vrabel would like to see you.

He also knows the zone blocking scheme we are now running which can't necessarily be said for the others. Especially the way they played last year.

Waters is declining but still far better than Lilja.

Ndukwe is truly a right guard and started the entire 2008 season for Miami at that position.

Colin Brown and Darryl Harris both looked very, very good at right and left guard during last year's preseason and Harris was called up to the 53 in December.

I'd like a Chiefs front office at some point in time draft young players and play them. I understand that they couldn't play Brown last year because they put him on IR but even with that said, I don't understand this signing.

And it most certainly isn't any cause for joy.

I meant on the O-line. I should have clarified.

The Chiefs have Ndukwe, Harris, Waters and Brown. That's four guards.

I'm not sure I see why they need five.

My guess is that they don't know what they have yet with Harris and Brown - hence, bring in a proven vet in Lilja for competition. Obviously, they wouldn't have brought him in if they were comfy with their other G's.

this isn't a horrible signing, and it adds talent to a position that we can all agree needs improvement, oline. we all knew this would not be a great off season for FA, but at least scott & co are making an effort this year.

3 yr deal according to Jason LaCanfora.

You don't pay Lija the kind of dough they probably paid to use him as a backup. Him and Waters are obviously going to be the starting guards.

It isn't, but I don't think it's a cause for sorrow either. It's a cheap body with a local connection. Nothing more, nothing less.

If your assumption is correct, why not re-sign Wade Smith?

He had his best season ever last year and seamless filled in at various spots along the line, while upgrading each position he played.

The offensive line was greatly improved when he started in place of Goff. The running game exploded and Cassel was only sacked 8 times in the last six games.

I liked Wade Smith as well - I especially liked his versatility along the line. I can't answer the question as to why he left. I can only speculate - and quite frankly, who cares what I think.

Well, I care.

That's what we're all here for.
