Practice Squad
 

Late night, offseason, bullshit topic.

Make your predictions for the 8 guys that'll make the practice squad.

Typically young guys with a lot of potential that the Chiefs want to lock up away from other teams.

They can't send players to NFL Europe anymore, so outside of the 53 man roster, this is it.

Nobody

Youre Kiddingme

I don't have 8 guesses, though.

These are the guys I think are the most likely, in this order.

1. OT Ramiro Pruneda -- Massive guy that the Chiefs would love to try to sculpt.

2. WR Brad Eckwerekwu -- It's either him or Hannon at this point, but I think Hannon edges him out because Herm's simply been too publicly infatuated with him.

3. TE Michael Allan -- Promising guy with great measurables, would make the team if we weren't already 4 deep at the position (Tony G, Dunn, Wilson, Willis).

4. LB Nate Harris -- Reputable sources believe the Chiefs swindled Harris, and odds are he may even be the 2nd-string MLB, but a very strong LB unit plus a lot of young, promising talent (Kershaw, Reid, and of course SCANLON) might make Nate the odd man out. Might also have to save Napolean Harris from putting his entire name on his jersey.

5. DT Matt McGlothlin -- Krumrie and the Chiefs love this dude. DL is just too full of talent at this point.

6. RB Marcus O'Keith -- A RB born to be a role player. The Chiefs will like what they've seen enough to give him an extended shot.

7. WR Titus Ryan -- Track star the Chiefs think they can mold. Not likely, but why not.

8. QB Jeff Terrell -- You probably always need a QB on your PS. Terrell beats out Swogger.

No thoughts?

Fatties.

How many of these guys EVER make an impact on the team's season....present, or FUTURE??? :shrug:


If you can't make the roster; the ONLY teams that care about these players are "also-rans."


By that standard, I'm sure it will occupy MUCH of CP's time in July-August. :(


:banghead:

hit reply too early.... give me a moment to try again....

Happy hour at the pool hall tonight, eb.....heh. ;)

Drunk bastard.

Ok, I don't know enough to choose seven, so here are three:
Ekwerekwu
McGlothlin
Pruneda

No, but that sounds good (except for the pool part)

Heh. My reputation precedes me.

I think it's entirely possible Nick Reid makes the squad, too.

If Derrick Ross doesn't make the team, he's gone. That'd be two seasons now where we tried to fit him into our plans and he simply couldn't work out, NFLE success be damned.

I actually think Michael Allan has a good chance at making the roster. Won't likely be active very much, but I think he makes the roster.

Initially, I thought Ross had a chance at the roster and Smith might go to the practice squad but after hearing the post-draft interviews with Herm I would say that Smith is a lock to make the roster and Ross is a lock to be out of football in two years.

I can't see it.

Maybe if we release Dunn because of age/injury due to the fact that we feel Willis can step in, but we'll hold onto Dunn.

That gives us a top flight receiving TE in Tony G, and a top flight blocking TE.

Willis should make the team as well as a reserve, and there's always Bigfoot.

I don't see why this team would have 5 TEs on the roster. Allan is incredibly raw, and will need a season or two to develop.
