Chiefs FA: What's Left? - Page 5

Micjones · 03-09-2009, 10:43 AM

(FB) Leonard Weaver, 26
(DE) Mike Wright, 27
(DT) Shaun Cody, 26
(LB) Marques Harris, 27
(CB) Leigh Bodden, 27
(KR/PR) Justin Miller, 25

I'd take four of them without blinking.
Wright, Weaver, Harris, and Miller. Justin Miller as a pure returnman could be just what this Special Teams needs. He's dangerous and can provide a much needed spark there.

I'd love to have Weaver... Especially if LJ's going to stay (I think he will).
A good young FB like that can help resurrect him. And Matt Cassel's going to need a solid running game to succeed.

I'm not much of a fan of Shaun Cody, but he could figure in if we do switch over to the 3-4.

Bodden's some kind of CB. We've got two young guys I'm extremely satisfied with, but if they just wanted to get better there...Bodden could help.

The Chiefs still have too many holes to try addressing them all in Free Agency. We're still going to need depth at several positions.

I can tell you that I have enough knowledge of football that I would never claim that Mike Cox sucks.

It doesn't prove your point. You didn't say anything about coaching. You've basically said over the past couple of weeks that every young player on this team sucks. That's just not true.

Does that mean this team is loaded with talent and the coaching was THAT bad? No, not really.

It means that we had MULTIPLE problems, both with coaching and talent. As usual, people are polarized on the argument but the actual answer is somewhere in between.

The team has more talent than the haters want to admit, and less talent than the homers want to admit.

And there's the unknown to all of this.

Were we "active" in the sense of making phone calls, with a lot of "No thanks" as responses?

There was little interest so he resigned with Seattle.

That's no reason why this franchise shouldn't have brought him in to at least interview with the team.

He was available and all caps won't make that any less true.

"But, but, he wasn't available". Maybe you should insult him. That seems to be the only language he understands.

So, calling someone delusional about Mike Cox's football ability is an insult?

Pardon me, Nancy.

Apparently, it's far more than you can understand.

That's my guess. Pioli can't possibly think that this roster gives him a chance to win games on a consistent basis.

Mike Cox is so great they changed the offense in the middle of the season and when they were most effective at running the ball is when they had just a runningback in the backfield.

See. Insults. Weak character. You can't discuss, or debate without insulting people.

No, it's not.

Dorsey was playing out of position. McBride was playing out of position. There's two right there that MAY suck, but due to the fact they aren't either playing their natural position CANNOT get any grade other than "incomplete".

You're speculating.

How do YOU know there was little interest? Furthermore, maybe he wanted to stay in Seattle. It's not as if the free-agency period is closed and he had to sign somewhere.

So, it's either:

1. He didn't generate interest because you have him over-rated.
2. He re-signed during the first 10 days of free-agency with Seattle because that's where he wants to live and play.
