Not a rumor: Ryan Lilja may be returning to KC (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=271827)

Double damn. Was really hopeful about Hudson and no fan of Labjia...

The Chiefs are probably thinking about a lineup of this:

Albert
Lilja
Hudson
Asamoah
Schwartz

Which... is not too far off from last year's starters.

If anything, they're not comfortable just giving the starting job to Allen at LG. I sure as hell wouldn't.

****ing drama queens.

This.

This doesn't mean shit about Hudson, just means we need to find a b/u center and they like Lilja.

Or it means they think Allen is a disaster at LG and they want some depth there.

Coming back at center?

(didn't read entire thread)

i think the LG position is wide open as they probably think Jeff Allen is terrible there. Rightfully so, and thus, need a LG.

Looking back it wouldn't have been all bad if we "reached" for Decastro last year.

I bet that Hudson is ok, & that this is to have bodies and competition for camp. I don't think this has anything to do with their plans for the draft.

so you think Lilja coming off knee surgery is coming out of retirement to play a backup?

some of you are holding onto to some unproven young shitty players for too long

Yeah you're right. A handful of games is waaaaay too long to wait.

If they aren't Pro Bowlers in their first few games, we should just cut them.

:rolleyes:

i will laugh if its

Joeckel/Fisher
Lilja
Hudson
Asamoah
Stephenson/Schwartz

piss

Yea thats true. Lilga was tearing it up last year playing center and he never played it before.

Well our OT right now are Albert Stephenson Draheim

Lilga might be center or LG if there thinking about moving Allen to RT.

What he sucked ass.

No, but if the Chiefs are begging a veteran to come out of retirement for another season, they have to have a selling point that makes it worth his while to come back

why would he come back unless they, the FO, said look we have a need at ___, we evaluated the players on the o-line and some of them arent where we'd like them to be. We have a almost 30 year old QB we traded for that we need to protect and we cant go into the season with a bunch of unproven guys. Please help

This is no different than signing Fasano at TE, Avery at WR, Dunta CB. They needed veteran help at certain positions, cause they clearly dont like the unproven lack of production that is there, until proven otherwise, and dont have time to go into a season with said question marks, it's not the Raiders or the Jaguars that plan to field entire offenses and defenses of unproven players.

I could see all these guys if we were rebuilding with a rookie QB, but they dont have to time to wait into year 3 or 4 of the Jeff Allen project. Or find out if Rodney Hudson can play a full season. Or see of Donald Stephenson can handle his own
