New fullback possibility?

I was just wondering if the Chiefs would take a look at this guy for a replacement for Robert Holcombe. I would assume the Chiefs were very interested in getting a decent Fullback to help give Tony some breaks here and there, since they signed holcombe over the off season. This article has some nice things to say about his abilities as a blocker/special teams contributor. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look at him. Could probably pick him up pretty cheap too. Just wonderin...

Evans would be a good fit, IMO.

i would prefer adding a DT instead

WWTD?

ESPN: "Viewed as a fullback cut in the new mold for the position, Evans is a solid blocker, has excellent hands and is also a strong special teams contributor."

Sounds good!

I think everyone would certainly agree to that...but there aren't any solid DT's available. I think this Evans guy could be a diamond in the rough though. If we could sign him for the league minimum, and cut someone like ronnie cruz, who is nothing short of a mediocre special teams player, who knows, this guy could come in and make some big catches for us here and there. He looks, at the very least, like a better special teams player than ronnie cruz is...IMO.

Need to do something before deadline on both DT and FB fronts. If TR goes down look out.

Good post.

If there were any decent DT's available, I would say sign him first.

Kris "Big Foot" Wilson can be a very adequate at the FB spot too. It was his position before he was slotted at TE at Pittsburgh.

When's the last time KC made a midseason move to improve the team? Kennison?

Very, very true...something inwhich I don't understand. Also, when was the last time the chiefs coach's made a mid-game move to help improve our chances of winning? I Don't think that has ever happened since Vermeil has been here..

If that's the case, and I wouldn't necessarily dissagree with that statement....then why did the Chiefs sign Robert Holcombe over the offseason. For some reason the Chiefs don't think Kris Wilson is ready to handle the rock either through the air or by handing off...don't really know why either???

I believe they were trying to groom him as a TE until his fibula injury occured. Now, It's a mental thing with Wilson, and he should be more of a slashback instead of a pure TE.

Evans looks like he'd be allright, but Id keep Cruz and find a DT. Cruz doesnt seem like hes too bad. We need DT help worse.
