Chiefs Mike Vrabel - Page 11

New regimes don't care about the past regimes players or high picks, ask Matt Leinart about that.

I am drunk, and not reading all of this, but if we didn't give up very much, I don;t mind it a bit.

Maybe this is exactly what we need, a worker! Blue ****ing collar. What these young guys need, a winning attitude, and a guy who can teach a bunch of thugs and pussies a real work ethic......can't put a price on that.

I would like to see what we gave for him, but this place has gotten crazy lately. You can't have 24 year olds at every position, especially if they have never ran this system. He will be a great on field leader.

Yes the chiefs must tailor their defense around the awesome talent they have in place. Oy effen Vay.

Tedy Bruschi-LB-Patriots Feb. 28 - 8:39 am et

Tedy Bruschi responded via email to the Boston Herald regarding the trade of longtime teammate and close friend Mike Vrabel.
"We’ve lost perhaps our best all around football player," he said. "Defense, offense, special teams, Vrabes did it all. His intelligence and on field adjustments can not be replaced. This team has just changed immensely." With Vrabel gone, Bruschi's leadership on the New England defense will become even more important.

You don't play to the mistakes you made in the past or else you keep the mistake going.

Maybe giving DJ a little bit of a guide on how to be a pro-bowl lb will help him reach his potential???? I'm not thrilled if the Chiefs gave up anything more than a 6th but they got a player who "does it the right way", is infinitely familiar with the system that may be installed, is an improvement over almost all the lb's on the roster and is a consumate team player. He will be a "coach on the field" and when he walks into the locker room wearing 3 rings I would expect that he will command a little respect. Young pups can find their way eventually but if they got a smart old hound to lead the way they'll get there faster. I'm not turning cartwheels here but I'm not ready to say dropping a late drop pick on him was the biggest mistake so far.

Chiefnj2 · 02-28-2009, 10:02 AM

Look at the reaction of the Pats fans. They don't like losing him one bit. It's a good pickup provided it was a late round pick that was lost.

Chiefnj2 · 02-28-2009, 10:48 AM

You don't design your entire defense around Dorsey.

Chiefshrink · 02-28-2009, 11:23 AM

For all those against giving up a 7th for Vrabel, just ask the Cowboys about the importance of leadership. All that talent and can't even make the playoffs. What would Vrabel say and do to T.O. inside that locker room? Wouldn't be pretty but I bet the Cowboys get their sh** straight.

Yes it sucks giving up a pick win you only had 7 to begin but if we had 10-13 picks this yr it would probably be a non-issue. More importantly I think the fact that Pioli did give up a pick with only 7 to start with says he might be tipping his hand a bit that he will attempt to trade down to get more picks and may have found a suitor for that already. Who knows?

Either or I'm glad we have some good solid leadership in Vrabel and pleeeeeeeeeeease let Pioli do his job !!!!!!!!!

Good post Amnorix!!!!!

I like the thinking behind the move for a fifth or lower. Whether it works or not remains to be seen. KC DOES sorely need defensive leadership before it can adequately determine what talent it has on that side of the ball...IMO.

Has someone set up a poll for this yet? I'd like to see where the planet weighs in as a whole.

htismaqe · 02-28-2009, 11:34 AM

I for one am gonna be pissed if we gave up the next Kevin Robinson for Vrabel...

I'm was good with this the second I got the text message yesterday that it had happened.

In fact, just hours earlier I had said Pioli needs to sprinkle in some veterans to this team.

Good move IMO.
