You can’t run if your getting stuffed a yard behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 1…

D. Williams has had ONE good game, last week. During the butt kicking beginning of the season he never saw the field. Apparently herm did not like what he saw until the injuries wiped out the others. Please, an up and comer, I doubt it.

Pick up Haynesworth and either Peppers or Suggs in free agency, -DL solved (This would do wonders for our secondary as well, who are already pretty good)

Then, in the draft take curry in the first and in the 2nd get one of the top 3 ILB’s as I do not see 3 going in the first,(Spikes hopefully)- LB solved

In the 3rd hopefully Loadholt or Duke Robinson is still there and in the 4th address whichever position was not filled in the 3rd round. In the 5th round I would look for another OL (perhaps Center)- OL solved

Then in the 6th I find the next Tom Brady- QB solved

Flacco? Gesundheit, ay caramba.

The Little Big Man From Coastal Carolina will be better than either when it’s all said and done.

Keep up the great work Coach Edwards. ALL of KC is behind you and we know that you will lead us back to glory very soon now.

AND NOW, Clark Hunt has RE-RE-affirmed Herm’s The Man! And so does Rin!

If he can learn to see the whole field better, I’m sold.

For one I like the guys attitude. Beyond his physical skills his mobility and strong arm. The guy wants to be a good quarterback. So I say hold off drafting a quarterback in the first couple of rounds and get this defensive and offensive line built first. If Tyler does not show enough in 2009 to keep him the starter draft a quarterback in 2010 however I think he will. The one guy I keep hearing guys around here talk about as a sleeper quarterback in the draft is John Parker Wilson from Alabama. I’m going to have to keep my eye on that guy.

To draft a QB with Herm leading the team would only delay the “rebuilding” process of this organization and would only encourage Tony G. to leave the chiefs.

I say no to drafting a QB. Tyler will be in his second year and has an understanding of this offense. If you want, draft a QB in the later rounds, but stick to FA on that position.

Trade Tony who is most likely going to leave anyway and focus on the Defense and fix the running game.

Oh yeah, when it’s 4th and1 and you got L.J., you RUN! DON’T PASS HERMTARD!

The Pats won’t franchise Cassel. They have too much invested in Brady to do that. They drafted O’Connell in round 3 this year for a reason. He’ll step in for Brady next year until he’s healthy. They’ll let Cassel walk and get a compensatory pick from the league for him in 2010. Would they like more? Sure, but they can’t afford to franchise Cassel in hopes of trading him

Colby, there’s another side to this question. If you’re the Pats and have a decision between bringing back Cassel at a hefty $14Million price tag WHILE dealing Brady to a hungry team willing to give up a high draft pick package, what do you do?

Keep Brady and let Cassel go for little in return, while realizing that Cassel has proven himself, is younger, and not facing the issue of post injury competence as is the case with Brady?

I’m just saying that the Pats might want to consider these factors before they cast Cassel out into the FA waters.

I think we’ll have a real shot at getting him. Especially if Pioli and McDaniels are calling the shots!

DT: dorsey, Free-Agent, boone, Tyler
DE: Hali, Rookie, McBride, Johnston?

Rin believes Herm’s Chiefs in 2009 with oh, say two good OLBS (maybe Curry & Dansby or even put D. Johnson back out there and use Curry in the middle), may be able to produce more sacks just by virtue of having better athletes at LB. Then becomes a matter of Hali at RE from the start where he is obviousy more effective, and getting a good DE on the other side.

Excitement’s growin’ as Herm prepares to lead ther Chiefs into the 2009 season! Keep up the great work Coach Edwards- ALL of KC is behind you – and Clark Hunt has RE-RE-affirmed you!

ANd so does Rin!

The most important position on any NFL team is the QB. Say it again. The most important…okay, you get the drift.

Thigpen has been both a disaster (ATL game), a delight and a study in mediocrity (Pick your games). The big question is can Thigpen become consistently good? CONSISTENTLY being the operative word.

The current benchmark for him to aspire is setting in Atlanta. Matt Ryan has been CONSISTENT for a rook or a veteran, and has led his team into the improbable land of playoffs against all odds.

Is Thigpen of the same consistent stripe? If judged so by the new GM and head coach, then, OK, fine, go with the guy. If the decision makers are wrong, it’s their job and ass on the line.

For us, it’s just another day of prognosticating around the Bob Gretz forum. There is a difference, obviously, and one we all might want to keep in mind as the following weeks and months of post-season 2008 unfold, you know?

For new D coordinator, it’ll either be Dom Capers, who has always done a nice job in that capacity, or Romeo Crennell, one of the best in the business who is in over his head as a head coach.

If Herm keeps his job, look for our new D coordinator to be Rod Marinelli once he is canned in Detroit.

Get some D linemen that are ready to play NOW. Keep Babin, Ron Edwards and Boone as well. It’s no coincidence that those three have produced 1/3 or our sacks this year. They are veterans who have gotten good coaching elsewhere instead of the crap coaching our players get here.

Also, if Herm keeps his job, Gunther and Krumrie need to be run out of town. Jimmy Wilkerson produced one sack (two half sacks actually) in five years as a Chief. So far in Tampa, he has five sacks this year. Gun and Krum obviously can’t coach worth a damn.

The Star had it correct today, as of now, the Rams and Chiefs SOS is tied at 128-111-1.

For the Chiefs, the games that matter are: Oak @ TB (b/c Oak’s record is counted twice) and Ten @ Indy.

And for the Rams: NYG @ MIN, CHI @ HOU, WAS @ SF.

If you want the Chiefs to get the 2nd pick, pull for TB, IND, NYG, CHI, SF.

If KC and STL both lose Sunday, and 3 of those 5 win, it’ll be a coinflip. 2 or less, STL picks 2nd. 4 or 5, KC pick 2nd.

If KC and STL somehow both win Sunday, then 3 or more would give the Chiefs the 2nd pick, 2 of 5 would be a coinflip, 0 or 1, STL picks 2nd.

The reason these are different is b/c CIN winning makes our SOS better…whereas STL plays ATL, and that game doesn’t sway SOS b/c KC and STL both played ATL.

“Sorry rin”

- love means never having to say you’re sorry… and I know how much you love me- Rin sense a lot of love on this here blog…heh heh heh

“if herm is still employed and in charge of the draft, I would suggest he get the player he thinks best fits his plan for the chiefs. It is his job and reputation on the line and he should die by his own sword.”

- and he shall, but Rin doesn’t think they will keep that high a pick whther #2 or $3 – if they do stay at their clot, it will be an OT & not a QB any, my opine.

Now, if it’s not Herm a QB might be possibility, but if say a Pioli comes to KC – slim – some are already swearing on their mama’s grave he’ll sign Cassel as a free agent. My thot is maybe KC signs Cassel regardless a Pioli or whomever comes here. At any, Thigpen, Croyle, Martin – even Gray isn’t old. And for all gaga over a Ryan or Flacco, I’ve yet to be convinced either guy will be any better when it’s all said & done than the Chiefs current QB pickins.

“I would suggest the best player at about any position. Mike Sweeney was the man until the team got better and then he was not wanted. The same can happen with the chiefs, they are so bad a top notch player could step in for just about anyone on the team.”

- brace yourself…we’ve consensus the sentiment, if not on the where or whom such sentiment leads KC to choose.

I’m not sure, but i think DJ signed a 5-year contract, so it’s not up until after next season anyway.

It wouldnt make much sense to not take a leader on defense….especially when right now, I wouldnt resign DJ if his contract was up…and even if he plays well next year, I would consider that its a contract year. He looks good at times, and other times looks to lose focus…still…despite being moved to MLB…I hope he can turn it around because DJ at MLB means Curry makes a lot of sense.

Whether the Chiefs pick #2 or #3 STL won’t take the other oevrhype Stafford – but – SEATT at #5 just might be interested in him. If so, Chiefs blow smoke and trade down to #5 and get SEATT’s #3 also.

‘If’ the Chiefs draft another QB – and I don’t think they will – a Graham Harrell round #3, or later say #5 or #6 round a Daniel would be more likely choices.

Herm Edwards is gonna break the whiners including the local radio hack Kietzman’s heart -again – by not taking a QB in round 1.

heh heh heh
