Is Robert Holcombe going to be our starting FB?
 

is this guy going to be T-Rich's replacement, or do we have other plans?


anyone have any insight?

I thought we released Holcombe.

I hope he's recovered. He can definitely do the job.

I think he signed for 2 years, so I guess he's still with us. I hope he will be starting. I think we'll need him.

We released him AFAIK.

My info is that Holcombe's knee injury ended his career, and he no longer shows up on the Chiefs' depth chart. Ronnie Cruz & Kris Wilson are our fullback/h-backs.

hmmmmm, well he isnt actually on the roster at kcchiefs.com

Holcombe isn't even our 2nd or 3rd string FB.

We reached an injury settlement with ihm last year.

It's too bad, though. He would have been nice to have once we lost T-Rich.

Ronnie Cruz baby!

I think Cruz might actually be good as an offensive weapon, but I wonder about his blocking ability.

Kris Wilson is gonna be the lead blocking, pass-catching, secret weapon this year..... take it to the bank........

Who knows...


...unless Kris Wilson's been working his butt off....:hmmm:


:p

EDIT: Sorry Fish, I was 12 minutes late! :banghead:

Cruz or maybe Slaughter should be able to get the job done. If both make the squad I see Cruz being more of a running/receiving FB and Slaughter being more of a traditional lead blocker.

Crap, I didn't realise Holcombe was gone. I am still really disappointed that TRich was let go. Even with his age, and his involvement in only 30% of plays or whatever, but he was an invaluable member of the team, IMO. And we have $9m in cap space. We'll regret it....especially if Ronnie Cruz is lead blocking from the 5 yard line.

Ugh.
