Chiefs FA: What's Left? - Page 7

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.

Hali had a good first year - led the team in sacks, 4th in the league in forced fumbles. He's regressed since then. Does he suck? Did he only do well because of Jared Allen? How would he play next to better DT play? You and I don't know the answers to these, so we can't say whether or not he sucks.

McBride was a 3T defensive tackle in college. As soon as the Chiefs drafted him, they moved him to DE. Pretty much all of the scouting reports said that was a bad idea, but the Chiefs did it anyway. Does McBride suck at DE because he sucks? Or does he suck at DE because he's a actually a DT that the stupid coaches won't play in his proper position? Again, to many unanswered questions that prevent a simple judgement from being made.

And if you didn't intend to include Dorsey you should have said that, if not in the beginning, at least after he was mentioned by name in responses to you and you still insisted that the entire line sucked.

Like I've said before, I'm gonna reserve judgment on a lot of these guys until I see how the new regime uses them, and what they can get out of them.
I cannot fuqing believe Krummy is still around.

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.

How so? I've been saying the same thing for days now.

The fact that our coaching was horrible is undeniable and widely-known.

There's so many guys on this defense being asked to do things that scouts SAID they're not good at, it's hard to just say they all suck. In the end, all of them MAY indeed suck, but doing so now, before they've ever played a game under the new regime seem silly.

What's funny is that on the surface it would seem that Pioli disagrees with BOTH billay AND me. Because he's kept the players AND their coach.

Who knows.

This is a banner year for offensive lineman (and not too shabby for WR's) and there's no way the Chiefs play Cassel behind Niswanger, Jones and Sackintosh.

I've been saying since Pioli was hired that there is no way he would go into a season without at least two new solid starters. Only Herm was that dumb. Now that he's got his hand picked boy back there, I expect him to take GOOD care of him. I'm excited. A few O-linemen, and we could have a decent O very quickly.

I was using some cross-thread humor to disparage the cock****s that pilloried me for drafting Sanchez in the CP Mock even though we already traded for Yaweh Cassel.

Which would effectively make him unavailable to us.

You could very well be right, but I tend to think with very few visits scheduled the Chiefs probably haven't made many phone calls.

Yeah, I'm really scratching my head over the retaining of Krumrie.

Neither of us know anything for certain either way. Let's get past that fact.

I'm guessing that Seattle made him an offer from the outset and he wanted to test the waters. I'm also guessing that since he re-signed that the market wasn't exactly what he expected it to be.

Think of it as a similar case to that of Javon Walker when he needed to leave Denver for personal reasons. Maybe Barnes was ****ed in the head after that went down. They did play the same position, so it could be possible that he was friends with Collier, and just didnt have it in him last year to play after that.

The missing Guards had nothing to do with all of the false start penalties he racked up. Barnes would definitely be an upgrade. I just don't think he's the answer.

He was supposed to have inked a deal with San Diego on Friday, but looking at some of the major sites, it appears all of the stories other than ones related to his VISIT on Thursday have been removed.

Perhaps it was another out-of-control internet rumor and he left SD without a deal?
