What do you do.

You have Niswanger and Ghiaciuc at center, Goff and Waters at guard, Richardson and Albert at the tackles, and Taylor as a backup.

Do you risk putting either Brown or Harris on the PS?
Do you go into the regular season with 10 O-Linemen.

Or do you cut McIntosh and go into the regular season with 9 O-Linemen?

Cut Sackintosh. If BOTH Richardson AND Albert get hurt, he'll probably still be available.

Or maybe stick Brown at RT. Maybe. No idea how he has looked, but that is what he did in college.

IMO, you cut Ghiacuic most certainly. For starters, Waters can slide over to center if needed. If Brown & Harris continue their play, I think you cut FcIntosh, knowing that Herb Taylor could slide into left tackle, right tackle or even right guard if needed.

Goff, I'm on the fence about. I'm clearly not a fan and would prefer that the Chiefs start Brown, if he continues to play well. The Chiefs aren't going anywhere this year and getting experience for Brown would be helpful heading into next year. If he struggles mightily, Goff could relieve him for a few games as he gets his head back.

Keeping FcIntosh or Ghiacuic over Harris would really chap my ass, much worse than cutting Lilja and keeping Richard Smith or Kevin Samson or Brett Williams.

Ah. Forgot about Waters once playing C. I was thinking one player could take Niswanger's spot if he went down, but couldn't remember who had experience there.

I agree with your last statement IF they continue to play well

I am so pleased someone else has made this observation. The single reason I am not down on Niswanger was do to the play of Jones. I am of the opinion Jones was the worst guard in the NFL in 2008 and the worst guard in Chiefs history. The fact Jones was not catapulted off the roster and into the ocean depths after last years preseason was absolute proof that Herm had no business being an NFL HC. And I am still stunned he was inserted as the starting RG before he had played a single down at that position. I believe Jones made both Niswanger and McFat look worse then they were and neither needed any help.
