Replacing Gonzalez proving to be a chore in K.C.
Posted July 11, 2009 @ 6:50 p.m.
By Michael Blunda

Nobody in the Chiefs' organization thought it would be easy to replace departed TE Tony Gonzalez, a 10-time Pro Bowler and surefire Hall of Famer, but they probably didn’t think it would be this difficult, either. In one of the more surprising developments of the team’s recent minicamp, head coach Todd Haley declared the competition for the starting tight end job wide open, dispelling the widely believed thought that the spot belonged to Brad Cottam. From what we hear, Cottam, a 2008 third-round pick by the Chiefs and the favorite to capture the job, struggled mightily during offseason workouts, frequently dropping catchable passes. His failure to seize the opportunity has opened the door for others — like veterans Sean Ryan and Tony Curtis and seventh-round rookie Jake O’Connell — to enter the mix for starting duties. Although the Chiefs aren’t expected to utilize their tight ends as receivers very often, the offense would be lacking without a skilled pass catcher at that spot. Thus far, Cottam has “dropped the ball.”

If throwing to the TE takes away from the WR then no matter how good the TE is the team is falling short of its potential. The TE should be an outlet for the QB or the play should be designed to catch the defense off gaurd.

Not according to the coaching staff and the media, he's not.

There's been no indication that he's even been tried in the middle - has there?

Is this anything but wishful thinking?

Only because our best, most consistent player during most of the last 12 years or so has been a tight end, Mr. RustShack.

The fact is that a Pro Bowl caliber TE can be a tremendous asset to an offense. That's why guys like Ozzy and Shabbomofft were highly valued. We'll miss TG and the odds of us acquiring a player with that 2nd round pick that comes anywhere close to equaling his overall contribution to the team are slim.

I'm okay with getting younger, etc. I'm not okay with continually trading away our best players (see Drunko the Bull Runner) when we have precious few studs in the stable to begin with and the local villagers are storming the ranch with torches and naughty words.

In a traditonal 3-4 your right but look at Zona's 3-4. He's 15 pounds bigger then Dockett and an inch shorter. He played both at Purdue. Meh either way if he contribute thats a nice 3rd round pick.
