So am I reading this right? No confirmation on Powe McDougald?

That was a whirlwind of changes. It must be reiterated, **** PIOLI.

God how were we stuck with this assbag for so long?

Marcus Cooper highlights he looks like a special teams stud and could turn into a very good man to man corner :clap:

This! Glad we have Dorsey now!

Raiders announce that they claimed G Antoine McClain and DT Brian Sanford off waivers. Waived Tyler Wilson, released Chris Kluwe

so true

and it's an indictment against pioli coming from straight from his peers...basically everyone he brought in was considered trash by Dorsey, right down to #53

AGREED ! :clap::clap::clap:

This is what good scouting will get you to fill those necessary holes at least to compete legitimately.

I don't understand the strategy of cutting 3 exceptional gunners in one offseason. Copper, Jalil Brown, and Wylie. Don't like the move.

He couldn't cover a table if he were a table cloth ! :rolleyes:

@CardsMarkD: Cards awarded OT Bradley Sowell (Colts) & NT Alameda Ta'amu (Steelers); release LB Kenny Demens & CB Bryan McCann

surprised about Ta'amu

Trust the FO. They see and know stuff we don't. And to your point this only means our special teams play gets better:clap:

So we traded Edgar Jones who has 1.5 sacks in his 6 years in the league and picked up a guy who had 4 sacks last year as a rookie? Great move there.

Jalil Brown was the only gunner out of the 3 you mentioned.

tbh our specials teams have sucked for years so i'm not sure how exceptional they were.

Our specials teams have shown dramatic improvement so far in preseason so i think Troub knows what he's doing.

At ILB I believe I read on rotoworld

He got a DWI and into trouble

ahhhh ... didn't hear about that

Not sure if this year or last

The only confirmation I can find about any of these moves is this


http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...gn=Twitter_atl

He was an OLB with the packers.

Chad Hall

Brock and Diles to be cut

Oh ok also on arrowhead pride they said ILB my bad

@HBalzer721: NFL teams assigned 45 players on waivers today. Leaders: Chiefs, Jaguars 7; Browns 6; Patriots 4.

So we got hall, Moses, Johnson, cooper, Parker, Howard . Who is the seventh?

Cutting 3 guys who were easily some of the best on your roster at special teams... that's a tough sell. Especially Brown and Copper, who can do things beyond special teams too.

I trust Toub knows what he's doing. I have doubts about whether this was his decision.

I haven't seen anything for a 7th yet

He's an OLB. Have a friend that is an avid Pack fan that said this about him.

"Hard worker. Quality edge-rusher. Started some games last year. College DE struggles with OLB coverage and run support. I'm personally surprised they cut him."
Posted via Mobile Device

oh no, our gunners....


the things fans of shitty teams choose to care about

Lol. I'll go ahead and trust Toub to fix our special teams, even if he has to do it without these all-world special teamers (sorry SNR).

So, do we have a bottom line yet? Any final count?

LMAO

This gif will NEVER get old. **** the haters.

These guys are alive somewhere not knowing they're a meme on a Chiefs site LMAO

Shit....SOMEONE from this gif is on this site.....

Guaranteed....

it is so perfect, no amount of words could ever express what that gif does

and some day there will be a documentary of the people in this gif...i can see an Errol Morris style thing where he films them reading threads on the planet...ROFL

I hope its the old bastard not cheering.

I promise you none of them knew who Eric Fisher was or what position he played LMAO

Been able to confirm 4 of Chiefs waivers claims: Seattle CB Ron Parker, SF CB Marcus Cooper, SF WR Chad Hall and Green Bay LB Dezman Moses

LMAO......

**** off. We are talking about roster spots, not number one draft picks. If you're talking about bubble players, cutting elite special teams guys who can actually play depth roles on your team is just dumb. Sorry. The Wylie cut is fine if Chad hall is a legit depth receiver who can return punts well. I think the jalil brown cut is downright stupid. We are walking into the season with 3 corners and 6 safeties. But I guess this is where you swing in and tell me that super bowls are won by holding 6 safeties on your roster.

And no, I highly doubt this was toubs choice to cut three exceptional special teams aces in one offseason, especially after they crushed it in the preseason.

:spock:

Robinson, Flowers, Smith, Cooper, Parker

Berry, Lewis, Abdullah, Commings, Demps

5 CBs counting the waiver claims, yo.

Cutting ST talent is always a risk, but it's not like Brown and Wylie were (presumably) studs under the old system.

"exceptional special teams aces"....ROFL

what a bunch of bullshit, totally made up bullshit

nothing they did helped us win, they're meat bags and can be replaced by other meat bags...Toub knows this

ROFL at the people upset about gunners

Fair point. I saw a report that didn't include the CB additions.

I'll wait to see how Cooper and Parker fare. Cooper is a bit intriguing, but I'm doubtful both will bring more value than Brown can bring as a special teams ace.

Was hoping Brown would manage to pull it together.. sucks.

Maybe this regime wants STers who can actually, you know, produce if called upon.

What the **** makes him a special teams ace?

I didn't defend Copper. I am defending special teams aces who can also contribute as quality depth on a roster. ROFL at people who treat bubble roster players cut 5 times from other teams as guys who are going to perform better.

Sorry, but the cuts of Javier Arenas and Jalil Brown feel more like purging Pioli players than it does moves to better the roster. Those moves are headscratchers for a team desperate for CB depth.

Watch a game or two before making a comment like that. Brown is terrific at special teams.

LMAO

Dumbass.

Thats like saying a pharmacist is terrific at counting pills...it means nothing if you can't do anything else

No ****ing shit.

It's to the point it's laughable.

And arenas sucked ass and brown couldn't cover for shit

Brown can run don and field a punt inside the 5. Big ****ing deal

you can't fix everything at once, I'm sure we'll draft a special teams ace in the 1st next year....

Arenas would be our 4th best CB right now by a mile. Arguably as good as Dunta Robinson.

Those complaining that Brown won't see the field can't explain why we're keeping 6 safeties on this roster. And right now, it's a huge gamble that Parker (a guy continually cut by other teams) is going to be better as a CB, let alone contribute on special teams.

Chiefzilla is the new como

Powe and McDougald are in fact gone.

trading arenas for a fb was stupid,

but that is separate from this 'we lost all our meat bag aces' thing...

I'm not comparing him to 1st round picks, dick. I'm comparing him to bubble guys on the 53 man roster. But I'm guessing the guy cut by the Panthers and Raiders the past 2 years, and who suffered an achilles injury is there to save the day.

Hey, hey, hey...why you mad?

You know how players get good at STs. By never earning any playing time.
Jalil Brown was horrible.
"Special teams ace" most of the time is just a dude who can never get on the field, like Copper, and sounds like a Pioli reason to keep bums.

SNR just ****ed your wife for disrespecting Copper like that.

This is dumb.

I'm preparing a thread for the future, which will set the record straight once and for all regarding Terrence Copper's honorable and valuable contributions to this team during a dark time in our history.

It will NOT be ignored!

the only thing copper ever did as a chief was suck pioli's chub

I banged her with an AIDS branch and then kicked her out a few days ago.
He needs to get himself a Canadian ID card and go get himself checked out.

Dustin C MVP Made your boy Copper with his perfectly placed balls and by never out kicking his coverage.

Copper and Brown had it EAZY does do it easy that's what I'm doin.....stop.
Lulz... Got carried away.

Devon Wylie got cut a day before his birthday. Happy Birthday Devon.

The majority of the bubble guys who beat Brown for a roster spot are either never going to see the field or will be as bad if not worse in depth situations. All the while being much worse on special teams.

As with anything, I'll give it time. But if Parker and Cooper are not terrific in nickel/dime or don't have upside to be starters or quality backups, then this was a terrible cut. And I'm especially not crazy about cutting Brown while keeping 6 safeties on the roster.

Dave Toub was specifically grooming Brown and Wylie to be gunners. Which means he believed these two guys were very good at special teams. You can say what you want about their value as roster players, but let's not make up the story they weren't anything short of very good at special teams.

Specifically grooming them? Wut?

We love our Gunners /true fan

My understanding is that in practice, he was training these guys to be our gunners. Which to me indicates that he believed these were our 2 best guys.

and them getting cut indicates what?
Posted via Mobile Device

Fact is, they were the shittiest WR and CB that we might keep, so they were seeing if they had any value whatsoever.
Looks like they didn't.

LMAO Zilla...just stop man. This special teams shit is embarrassing.

I only count 5 safeties, to go along with 5 CBs.

That this was not Toub's decision, despite what people on this thread are claiming.

And I have some concerns that some guys are getting cut because they are Pioli guys, and people are getting signed only because they are connected to seattle/green bay/49ers/eagles.

I believe Sanders Commings is still on the 53. Correct me if I'm wrong.
