You can't make the club from the tub
but you might be able to go back to the '80s

I certainly was disappointed when they didn't re-sign W. Smith.

But my guess is the signings of Wiegman and Lilja are examples of players who are products of the system we are going to run under Charlie Weis.

I think thats the plan. Finding the right role players that are suitable for a particular scheme. Players who understand and know their role within the scheme more than anything.

We are going to be more of zone blocking team. I think thats the direction they're headed. Wiegman excels under that scheme, and so does Lilja. the scheme the Chiefs are going to run is best and properly suited to the strengths of those players.

I think filling the vacancy left by losing Wade Smith was huge. IDK if Lilja fills that role exactly, but maybe with the Wiegmann and Lilja signing, it frees us someone like Rudy to fill that void.

Wade Smith was too expensive, and if Lilja got paid that much, Pioli is a ****ing mong.

Yeah but they're old.

Weigman is 37 years old. Lilja is only 28 but broken down.

If Weigman's signing means the end of Niswanger, good. But Lilja's signing only complicates the situation at guard because the young guys need to start.

OK, my personal opinion is that they didn't like him as a Guard. He's going into his 8th or 9th season as a player who has played a lot of positions in the NFL along the OL (including LT and C). They wanted to focus more on players who were true OG's, and he just didn't fit the bill in their system. That's just my opinion.

I truly wish that "Rudy" would never, ever, ever suit up for the Chiefs again.

EVER.

If the young guys need to start, then they should be able to earn that right this full offseason and training camp. If not, then it is good to have a backup plan in place, and Lilja at the very worst should provide that security blanket.

Actually, that would be my wish as well.

And with the way offensive lineman go down I'm sure we will see the younger kids get there chance.

Wait....I thought Lilja hated the Chiefs?

Was the Bon Jovi concert the deal breaker for Lilja?

It was meeting Trace Adkins.

Dane hates everything the Chiefs do. So what its for depth. They gotta start and sign somewhere. Maybe they didn't ****ing like Wade Smith all that much. They see alot more of him then we do.

IF this helps the line then so be it. This team is already very young, so we signed a few older guys big ****ing deal. Alot of the older guys are interchangeable after seasons end anyways. YOu always have to have that mixture anyways.

its not like we were going to go 12-4 into the play offs. If this is the way they want to build their team with their vision so be it., I will reserve judgement until i see how it works. They do deserve that much.

If people dont want to give them that much, well thats your ****ing problem.
