Monday Update 9/8

From the Truman Sports Complex

NFL veteran quarterbacks Chris Simms and Tim Rattay should be headed to Kansas City Monday evening and they are expected to workout for the Chiefs sometime on Tuesday.

Right now, it appears that QB Brodie Croyle will miss two to four weeks with the shoulder injury he suffered on Sunday in Foxboro against the Patriots. That leaves the Chiefs with no option other than to sign a quarterback to help them.

Both Simms and Rattay were rumored to be at the top of the list in New England for the Patriots to step onto their roster for the injured Tom Brady. But Chiefs sources say both quarterbacks left Foxboro without being offered a deal. It sounds like the Patriots must have something else working behind the scenes.

The Patriots announced on Monday afternoon that Brady will undergo sugery and is lost for the season. They placed him on the injured reserve list.

Simms is 6-4, 220 pounds, 28-year old former third-round draft choice of Tampa Bay in the 2003 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas. He’s not played in a regular season game since the third week of the 2006 season, when he suffered a spleen injury. Ultimately, he underwent a splenectomy and missed the rest of the ‘06 and the whole ‘07 season. He did play in the most recent pre-season for the Bucs, completing 19 of 30 passes for 155 yards, no TDs and one INT. He was sacked five times.

Overall with the Bucs, he played in 19 games, starting 15 and completed 59.1 percent of his passes for an average of 6.27 yards per attempt, with 12 TD passes and 17 INTs. That’s a passer rating of 71.2

Rattay is 6-0, 200 pounds, 31 years old and a veteran of nine years in the NFL. He was a seventh-round choice of San Francisco in the 2000 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He spent six seasons with the Niners, two years in Tampa Bay and part of last season with Arizona. He went to training camp in 2007 with Tennessee.

He’s played in 40 games, with 18 starts, completing 60.5 percent of his passes, for an average of 6.8 yards per attempt with 31 TDS and 23 INTs. That’s a career passer rating of 81.9.

The Chiefs are not interested in bringing back David Greene, who was with them at the end of last season.

I love Herb, but he's a technician, not a mauler, and you need a mauler at RT, particularly in this shit scheme.

For a left handed QB. He'd be perfect protecting Simms blindside.

Yeah, and McIntosh is the mauler you're looking for...

If he had no testicles he could be related to Herm.

You put your best tackle on the blind side. Willie Roaf played RT when the Saints had a lefty QB. Albert >> Taylor. If you sign Simms, Albert should play RT.

LOCOChief · 09-08-2008, 05:45 PM

Brodie will be back by week 4, and Sims has an uncanny low release that results in shit loads of batted and deflected balls. It's his slice and it's wicked.

Did I say this??

I'm on record as saying there is no solution for RT this year, and the people who are bitching about it just need to realize it. Herb won't work there, and putting Richardson out there too soon could Winston Justice him. Just play McIntosh until Richardson is a little more comfy (say 6-8 games), let Huard get killed (fuck him) and then you have your best chance to succeed.

Richardson looked VERY raw in the PS.

So you've decided Taylor won't work at RT already...

Suit yourself.

And I'm not saying he IS the answer.

But I am for putting the best 5 OLmen out there every Sunday, and McIntosh is NOT one of them.

The Right Tackle spot is completely unresolved and likely won't be unless they hold a Regular Season tryout there. I wish they had signed a FA to play there and we wouldn't have this to worry about.

Well, at least Simms is used to being sacked, that's one adjustment he won't have to make if he comes here.

It's only unresolved because they refuse to play a kid who they drafted, who played RIGHT TACKLE in college - and instead, play a cement footed POS.

PLAY the kid...he absolutely CAN'T be worse than McIntosh.

Saying that Herb Taylor will work at RT is basically like saying that Waters should be LT. Neither guy is physically suited for that position. I wanted Richardson to be ready to start at RT, but he's not, and ruining him just to get him on the field is flat out reeruned.

Richardson was getting owned by guys who are unemployed in the PS. He needs TIME.

It never ceases to amaze me how the people who clamor for a rebuild are the least patient of all.

Can't a motherfucker get coached up for half a goddamned season?

Herb Taylor was a RT in college.
