Hali had a good first year - led the team in sacks, 4th in the league in forced fumbles. He's regressed since then. Does he suck? Did he only do well because of Jared Allen? How would he play next to better DT play? You and I don't know the answers to these, so we can't say whether or not he sucks.

McBride was a 3T defensive tackle in college. As soon as the Chiefs drafted him, they moved him to DE. Pretty much all of the scouting reports said that was a bad idea, but the Chiefs did it anyway. Does McBride suck at DE because he sucks? Or does he suck at DE because he's a actually a DT that the stupid coaches won't play in his proper position? Again, to many unanswered questions that prevent a simple judgement from being made.

And if you didn't intend to include Dorsey you should have said that, if not in the beginning, at least after he was mentioned by name in responses to you and you still insisted that the entire line sucked.

Completely and totally free to sign with another franchise.
There was little interest so he resigned with Seattle.

That's no reason why this franchise shouldn't have brought him in to at least interview with the team.

He was available and all caps won't make that any less true.

Like I've said before, I'm gonna reserve judgment on a lot of these guys until I see how the new regime uses them, and what they can get out of them.

This is a banner year for offensive lineman (and not too shabby for WR's) and there's no way the Chiefs play Cassel behind Niswanger, Jones and Sackintosh.

We're not exactly the Cowboys or Niners or the '90s. We very well might have called, only for him to say he wasn't interested.

Which would effectively make him unavailable to us.

There's so many guys on this defense being asked to do things that scouts SAID they're not good at, it's hard to just say they all suck. In the end, all of them MAY indeed suck, but doing so now, before they've ever played a game under the new regime seem silly.



What's funny is that on the surface it would seem that Pioli disagrees with BOTH billay AND me. Because he's kept the players AND their coach.

Who knows.

You're speculating.

How do YOU know there was little interest? Furthermore, maybe he wanted to stay in Seattle. It's not as if the free-agency period is closed and he had to sign somewhere.

Maybe if was due to both the guards being down and the loss of their backup LT (in a most emotional and disturbing manner), Richar Collier.

Think of it as a similar case to that of Javon Walker when he needed to leave Denver for personal reasons. Maybe Barnes was ****ed in the head after that went down. They did play the same position, so it could be possible that he was friends with Collier, and just didnt have it in him last year to play after that.
