Chiefs Our best OL?

**cdcox** · 09-15-2008, 10:15 PM

McIntosh is terrible on the right side as accurately predicted by Milkman and a few others.

He wasn't nearly so bad last year on the left side (although the injury concern remains).

I think we would have been better off leaving McIntosh at LT (for one year) Waters at G, Niswanger at C, ??? at G, and Albert at RT.

It would still be ugly, but Albert could dominate on the right side while McIntosh could at least be unterrible on the left. Put a decent run blocker at RG and you might actually be able to run this year.

I thought we'd be able to run left with the current line up. Maybe it will still happen. Right now we seem to be most interested in running between the guards.

I don't think you could really say any of the linemen are playing well.

**Munson** · 09-15-2008, 10:18 PM

McIntosh should be cut immediately. I don't see how Herb Taylor or Barry Richardson at RT could be any worse.

**Iowanian** · 09-15-2008, 10:18 PM

As bad as the Chiefs look....and if we're really going to be watching Hagans take snaps at QB, I'd really, really rather prefer to see Richardson and Taylor...Hell, I'd rather see De La Puenta take some snaps at OG.

We can't do that see, McIntosh was a big FA acquisition by Carl so he has to play, and Adrian Jones is another one of Herms Jets buddies so they gotta play!

Albert is our heir at LT and he's done better there in 2 games that McIntosh could do. Leave him there and let him learn the job.

McIntosh should be benched or cut. Let Richardson start, if he struggles put a TE there to help him with blocking until he gets up to speed.

They don't have alot of choice with Albert, it has to be known by next draft if we still need a LT or not.

**Iowanian** · 09-15-2008, 10:22 PM

I'm fine with Albert at LT. He's making some mistakes, but I think he's holding his own, considering he's still getting up hobbling some plays, and missed most of his first camp.

Actually, I think he's doing remarkable for as much time as he missed.

Waters isn't playing well, Niswanger isn't getting much push and the right side sucks balls.

**Buehler445** · 09-15-2008, 10:23 PM

McInvag needs to ride the pine. He was servicable at LT, so let him back up Albert if we can't cut him.

That's a good point for playing Albert at LT now.

We need another tackle and guard. Even if Richardson and Taylor pan out. Hell, look at the Eagles, most of their O-line backups are as good as anyone we have.

Ok you wanna be like the Eagles...Andy Reids first draft pick as coach of the team was McNabb 2nd overall....their RB was a 3rd round pick.

TrickyNicky · 09-15-2008, 10:32 PM

I didn't say draft them first. Just saying we need more.

TrickyNicky · 09-15-2008, 10:34 PM

Oh and hell yes I would love to emulate the Eagles.
