He wasn't on the Chiefs draft board that year for medical reasons.

:spock:

PMII went down for 2 1/2 games in 2019 and we ended up winning the Super Bowl that year. Only thing that matters is the playoffs. As long as he’s healthy then, we ALWAYS have a chance.

Bell will make the initial 53 and then will be placed on IR to return later in the season. At that point, they can add Bushman back if they really want him. No team is gonna poach him with a broken clavicle.

I'd point out it wasn't Henne that was the backup in those 2 1/2 games. The old "we can get another rookie castoff" doesn't play to me. Why do that when you already have a guy that knows the playbook? How long would it take for a new guy to absorb even half of it? Do you know who saved our 1969 season? It wasn't Jacky Lee, it was QB3.

To the Bell/Bushman controversy, yes, one of them will be on the "official 53" then placed on IR/designated. My argument for Bushman is he would be available a lot sooner than Bell. Put him on IR now and see how it goes with his surgery. He's an UFA in 2023.

Most likely, to accommodate Blake Bell being on the initial 53, they'll probably cut a vested veteran like Reiter, then move Bell to IR and sign that vested veteran back the following day. That's more likely than risking someone on waivers that they want to keep going forward.

Man, if Lance sucks with all the shit they gave up to get him, that will be an epic fail of all fails.

Our defensive line is so deep that the line of scrimmage on defense will be the Marianas Trench.

Can't get behind the Reiter/Allegretti comparison

Nicky Boy is far tougher customer IMO

I didn't follow him in Indy, has he fallen off that bad?

He was extremely disappointing to watch in person at camp.

Hes the definition of a guy that won in college on strictly talent and no work, but got destroyed on every rep I watched from no more than 20 feet away. Everyone on the DL had their way with him with any move they made. Constantly lost his balance and lunges and held on damn near every rep. It was impressive in a bad was….like if they let Mecca suit up.

It sucks because we all hoped he would be this years late round gem of a player that wins a starting job early on and is a stud right away.

He’s not.

He looked like he didn’t belong out there at all and matchups in PS reinforced what my eyes saw and reported on at camp.

I’d cut him unless they feel they can keep him as an insurance policy at guard.

True. Just going with the idea that he's mostly correct. I'm sure there will be at least one or two surprise cuts/keepers tomorrow.

:)Can't tell if you're giving me shit or not.:D

Anyway, I don't know about all that. Honestly didn't get a chance to even really take a look at either Coleman or Powell at all. I did think that Ross had a shot after seeing a few TC clips.

Just really liked the way Skyy ran routes and how reliable his hands were.

He's potentially the Chiefs version of Deebo. Do everything kind of guy that can run every route no matter if he's the X/Y/Z/H whatever. He'll probably even run/catch the ball as a RB now and again.

Then when I watched that interview with him and he talked about how invested he was as far as studying the playbook, that's when I thought he had a pretty good shot at making it so long as he didn't just shit the bed in any of the preseason games.

That's actually why I thought McDuffie was going to make it even before PSG1; that episode of the Franchise where he's in his film room in his new home and how he already had it set up with the dry-erase board and all told me a lot about what kind of player he was going to be.

Ditto Karlofogus. He's another 'hit the books as hard as possible' kind of guy.

Those guys are all cut from the same cloth insofar as they are all students of the game even as rooks. Not one of those guys is relying just on their God-given physical talent.

Barring anything catastrophic, these three guys are going to be among the best players on the team for years to come. Mark that down.

What do you mean by "making it"?

You do know why you're being made fun of, right?

Already addressed that a couple posts ago. But I'd bet money all three of those guys do make it.

That's not the reason.

How often do NFL teams cut their 2nd round picks before Week 1 of their first NFL game?
