Jack Shit.

Garbage

and he's hurt all the time.

F-O-X

What does it say?

Glad it isn't John Fox.........he might get you to the superbowl but he won't win you one

I should just hotkey "who?"

I was just spelling it out for the raider fans who are sure to stop by.

It says

I was actually interested in drafting the kid. He'd be a decent swing tackle but I thought that's why they signed Linkenbach?

I have him in the Sandbox League go Chiefs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who?

The Kansas City Jokes

Is this the OL we all know?

Linkenbach = depth guard

Fox = depth tackle


I'm assuming?

Do some ****ing research.....JFC.

4th rounder in 2010. Took over the RT job from Gosder Cherilus in 2013.

would be a shrewd FA signing.....

Can't stay on the field.

Yep.

205 snaps in 2013 with a -1.9 PFF rating.

He has nice physical tools, but who knows if he has developed any since being drafted.

Free agent OT Jason Fox is visiting the Chiefs on Monday.

Kansas City's offensive line is starved for depth after Geoff Schwartz, Jon Asamoah, and Branden Albert all walked. The old backups become the new starters, leaving little behind. Fox, 25, is athletic enough to "swing" between both left tackle and right tackle, but played the right side in Detroit.

swing tackle competition


who?

Lotta upside atleast

I don't know him...he sucks.

/thread

Fantastic tanking strategy.

After going 6-10, next year they will cut Hali, Bowe, and Flowers.

JAG

The more offensive linemen they sign.....the better. Less chance of them blowing a high pick on one. I'm sure Rishaw Johnson will be starting with Linkenbach as guard depth. Fox would be OT depth.

Also a good spot starter/insurance policy in case their #1 overall pick gets hurt again or is still an alligator arming get Alex Smith killed type of player

I'd actually be happy with this signing as long as it's cheap.

LT - Fisher, Fox
LG - Allen, Linkenbach
C - Hudson, Kush
RG - R. Johnson, Linkenbach
RT - Stephenson, Fox

If Fisher goes down, Stephenson slides to LT and Fox is RT.

Yep....and both of them have the experience necessary at the respective tackle spots.

This must have been who Mitch was talking about lol

Heh. That sly Holthus, always getting the scoop.

Don't know about Bowe but have to believe Hali and Flowers get cut regardless of how the Chiefs finish.

Hopefully they will get re-structured.

LMAO.

Am I the only person on this board who thinks this team might actually improve this season?

The offense, QB especially, improved throughout 2013, and I think they will be even better this season.
More pass rush, and better Secondary play improves the D.

We Can be better that 2013.

So our backups, that weren't good enough to win the starting job or even able to see the field, are now going to be improvements over the guys they couldn't beat out last year?

Our starters weren't better than Denver last year but our backups are going to be better than an improved Denver team this year?

Kinda like our coach.

Camp fodder.

I assure you, the D won't improve.

Let's not forget that they kept Bob Sutton. That is all we need to know about the defense as to why it'll be shit.

Yes...LMAO

Yes. I think you actually are the only person.

No joke, no homo.

w00t!!!

PBJ PBJ

Sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting us to step back a bit this year... theres just going to be too much reliance on second year guys who are unknown quantities and rookies.

Our biggest offensive need will have to be filled by either a rookie, and we all know how successful most rookie receivers are, or we're going to count on Jenkins taking a huge stride forward, and while I really like his potential... I didn't want to have to count on him.

Same thing with our biggest defensive need... its either going to be filled by a rookie or a second year guy who hasn't played a down of pro football. Its not a situation that inspires any confidence in me at all, theres just too many unknowns, too many stars that have to perfectly align.

What the O line becomes is up in the air.
What Kelce can do is up in the air.
Who can step in for Hali and play well is up in the air.
Will Cooper take another stride forward is up in the air.

Yeah man... just a TON of what if's, maybe's and unknown's this year.

even if the 2014 team is somehow better than the 2013 team they face a much harder schedule which will likely reflect in the w-L column.

Yep, go ahead and throw in that kill shot while we're at it.

How many backups from last season do you think are going to be starters this season?

I count four: Abdullah (definite upgrade from Lewis), Stephenson (upgrade from Fisher's play at RT last season), Jenkins (on paper a downgrade from McCluster, but his ceiling is definitely higher), and Johnson (downgrade from Schwartz).

I expect Fisher to make huge strides over an injury filled Rookie season.
I think we may take a step back at G, which is the least important position in football.

Outside of that, we are talking about..what. Replacing McCluster? How will ever manage to do that?
I See Bowe having a Monster year. Hell, AJ Jenkins is as good as McCluster.

We are going to get Something out of either, Kelce, or Cummings. Might not be much, but I'll bet it's more that K. Lewis provided.

The whole approach seems to be trusting in the drafted players.
I think Kush is going to contribute, maybe even allowing Hudson to move to G where I think he can really help out.

Houston is going to have a MONSTER season

I believe Smith will have a career season.

I think Catapano can contribute
I think we will get some help through the draft.

I KNOW that all of these things will not work out, but I believe some of them will.

Enough to, yes, improve the team.

Basically all the new and 2nd year players will have to fall flat on their faces for us to not have any chance at improving.

If half of the possible positive things that could happen , do, we will be improved.
If Dorsey has failed on on all those picks, and fails again this season, then we will in fact have the shit season so many people are predicting.
I'm just not ready to throw in the towel on two seasons worth of drafting yet.
Again, I know a lot of this stuff won't happen, but some of it will, and when it does, along with the continued development of our existing players we will be an improved football team.

Thats really not huge or unrealistic expectations.

When there are more "IF's" than anything, thats both huge and unrealistic.

I think it will be Commings rather than Abdullah...

Either way, it is an upgrade over Lewis.

A shitty player go Dorsey!

So you expect all of our rookies ad 2nd year players to fail?

The IF in, IF they all fail is a big one too.

Expecting HALF is not huge or unrealistic.

When you pretend every single "if" has to happen to improve the team, that's huge and unrealistic...and stupid as shit.

Fox is a solid depth move in that he could probably play either tackle position in a pinch.

Much like signing Linkenbach really, except that we don't have a sure starter in front of Linkenbach yet.

At least this moves Zach Martin down the draft board a few more spots, hopefully.

Linkenbach is total shit IMO too, though.

Don't know eneough about this guy to form an opinion, but I really hope Linkenbach doesn't make the 53.

Considering what we have at guard, I don't see any way they can leave him off.

Played RT his freshman year at Miami. LT for the rest of his career.

His rookie year he was out with a knee injury left over from his college days. The next year he had a broken foot. If he can stay healthy....he's solid depth at OT.

I agree. Now when you make stuff up that other people never said, like this for example, you're a liar as well as being someone who says stuff that is stupid as shit...

Nope. Never said that. Go read what I said. You are now expecting only HALF of what you originally said, so if you keep lowering your expectations, we'll soon agree...;)

The only clear and quantifiable improvement from last year would be to win a playoff game.

I think even the biggest Dorsey/Reid fans might have a hard time saying that they EXPECT that to happen.

That being said, I really don't see this team going in the tank. They're not bad enough for that to happen barring some freak accident (like Alex Smith getting hurt).

I haven't lowered anything.

I made it very clear that I knew that all things would not happen, but that some of them would. I have not lowered anything at all.

Oh, ok. I thought you were lowering expectations. We'll just have to see what happens...

I just put all of these topics to a vote in a new thread.

Looks a little scrawny to me

Seriously, guys. ****. I'm the first one to make the Foxtrot joke?

None of you know funny. Not one of you.

I don't think they go in the tank, but I also don't think they're anywhere as close to ready as last year's record might otherwise indicate. It's not been at all unusual the last decade or so to see a flukey season at the start a rebuild and then a minor step back the following year, and I would not be surprised if KC were the latest team to do that.

I don't give a shit about Sutton, one way or another, but I've asked this before.

When you are limited by a crap safety, an ILB who can't cover, an OLB who, while outstanding rushing the passer, is a liability in coverage, a corner who struggles in zone, and 2 DEs who are only slightly better at rushing the passer than I am, just exactly what kind of adjustments would you have him make?

The only real indefensible decision he made was failing to utilize the bench more.

As for Fox, I really liked that kid coming out of Miami.

Bedshit

Didn't even think about it until you mentioned it. Nice catch though.

... and none of those limitations have been improved. They've just been replaced by question marks.

I hear DeSean Jackson is a free agent gais.

He is way too mafioso
