According to Fox Sports...

Sure-Oz 02-28-2008 05:54 PM

Are we really expected to put that much effort into a Blocking FBOTF?

He's not a LT, sign a blocking FB for one year just to have one...

MTG#10 02-28-2008 06:01 PM

He definitely doesnt fit our youth movement, but if he would be willing to take the vet minimum he could really help LJ. It doesnt make sense though for the simple fact that this will be a rebuilding year so whats the point.

bowener 02-28-2008 06:05 PM

Lets take him for a year, then once the show is over, take him out back and give him the old yeller treatment.

You sign him for one year because we have sooooOOOOOOOOOOOooo much to worry about already and they're all bigger needs than FB. If we can get a fairly cheap geezer to help open holes for LJ (considering we'll likely have a young and $#at line) and help protect Croyle (our QBOTF behind said $#at line after losing our 6th lineman Dunn) then why shouldn't we?

Apparently because Carl is on vacation?

I'd rather have Owen Schmitt.

Rauch is right. Sign him for a year(if we don't get Sapp), and let him show a rook how to blow open holes. Coudn't hurt.

preferably the rook I mentioned above. Yea I know we don't need two FBs, but in this offense we might. It would only be for a year.

Hopefully we get Cecil Sapp and spend that draft pick elsewhere.

I would be happy with either option.

Bill S Preston 02-28-2008 06:35 PM

Neal is 37, and told the Chargers that he wanted out because he didn't want to take reduced playing time in the offense. He would work as a 1 to 2 year stop gap, even though the 07 season showed a drop off in his ability to meet the linebacker in the hole. He keeps himself in great shape, and I don't know if he'll take the veteran minimum though.

If there is no youthful replacement that is worth a damn then grab him.. You have to have somebody at least average back there..

smittysbar 02-28-2008 06:41 PM

But..........But..............But................WHAT ABOUT BOOMER!!!!!!

Micjones 02-28-2008 06:45 PM

Boomer sucks goat dick.

The Chiefs just need to make drafting a FB a priority.
No more stop-gaps if we can find younger longer-term answers.

Bump 02-28-2008 07:12 PM

we never should have gotten rid of T-Rich damnit

If we were going to do that, we could just bring T-Rich back. He's a FA, too.

I won't argue that either. He'll be cheap.

Chan hasn't been all kinds of fruity at fullback. He's basic. They block. Now and again they run a trick play. Perhaps a carry a game. That's it.

If the past is any place to judge from that's all we need.

OnTheWarpath15 02-28-2008 10:10 PM

I'm all for the youth movement, but a 1 year deal for Neal would be just fine with me.


On the younger side, Thomas Tapeh of the Eagles would be interesting.

Rausch 02-28-2008 10:13 PM

We still have to fill a roster the best we can.

If we have to go old do it on the line or with a blocking FB.

DON'T do it at CB, HB, DT, or S...

Tits McGee 02-29-2008 01:43 AM

too old...

The Eagles used the pick for Welbourn on him.
