Why do you guys keep bringing up Berry?

Do you really think he won't be out there week 1?

Same for Hali.

You think they're gonna be ready to go with no training camp and ps games? The berry situation is just a distraction at this point. He needs to get back or they should rescind the tag

You are becoming a loon

They might be a little rusty, but they're vets and I fully expect them to be competent.

Tamba is ****ing Tamba. He's a warrior. He will be ready to go. I saw he had been working out with his MMA guys before camp, so I'm sure he's been working his ass off like usual and they're just taking it easy with him. You don't sign that guy to that contract without knowing he's going to be able to go. He's not coming back from a serious injury or anything.

Berry is trying to get a huge contract. No way he doesn't come in ready to play week 1

Also, how do you know it is a distraction to the team? This team has proven to have a next man up mentality. If anything, it's just giving us an opportunity to see what we have in the rest of the group after Parker.

This is the heart of the matter IMO

The vets wont be hamstrung by the lack of activity and reps like a younger player would, they'll round back into form quick enough

For now this is a great opportunity for the younger guys to polish their game... no worries

You lead the league in facepalms.

is it safe to assume Streater hasnt lost a step post injury and the Raiders/Del Rio were just idiots keeping him inactive every sunday

Lots of young new faces on the defense. I'd like them to be getting as much run together as possible, but sometimes that just doesn't work.

Just have to hope it works out quickly.

I'm guessing berry is back with the team when they break camp in St joe.

Sounds like he will add some nice depth, but I don't think he's beating out Conley or Wilson.

Only new faces that might start are ILB2(whoever beats out Mauga), and CB2/Slot CB (If Russel/Nelson beat out Gaines)

maybe 3rd safety? But there are a lot of vets competing for 3rd safety no? (Fleming, Sorenson, Brown, Cooper, etc)

It's really only like 3 positions someone new might be getting the car keys to start and they have a year already in the Chiefs system (in Nelson's case or those 45 Inside Linebackers we have stashed)

O has lost his mind. Bitten by a wild Mals??

Huh?

Unless someone gets hurt, the Chiefs should have 9/11 starters on defense that they had last year with Gaines/Ford who are in year 3 of the system.

I doubt he will play like he did last year if he holds out for TC and preseason.

Head's probably in the wrong place too.

Won't even be in football shape most likely. Could get hurt.

Just a lot of "ifs" this year.

You would hope he would be motivated to play for a big contract even if it's not from KC. I like Berry but if he gets hurt or plays like shit I won't feel bad for him because it was his decision to sit out TC.

Yea a holdout is going to be tougher on Berry than coming back from cancer and chemo last year. :rolleyes:

Can somebody just ban this troll already?
