Geoff Schwarz on 610
 

Said he will play wherever he can get playing time but he would prefer to play Guard. Says he gets to impatient when he plays Tackle with his hand work, specifically his punch on the defender.

He hasn't played LG since freshman year in college. But he said they are rotating them around him practice. He went from RT to LG. Said that was kinda weird.

Also said, He was in Minnesota last year and he compared Eric Fisher to Vikings OT Matt Kahlil.

No Albert = RT
With Albert = LG

Albert Schwartz Hudson Asamoah Fisher

Holy shit that's a line.

Charles is gonna have a ridiculous year.

And the Chiefs will still be one and done in the playoffs, assuming they make it to the playoffs.

Everything that is old is new again!!!!!

:thumb:

So glad to get Hudson back!

Dont you worry Schwartz.

The Chiefs picked a tackle #1 and can't get rid of Albert because this franchise always acquires the best tacticians to run things.

Why do we just assume that "Albert gets his way" and plays LT? I wanted us to sign him, but now that we have drafted Fisher, screw Albert. Put him at RT. If he complains announce publicly that he lost the job fair and square to Fisher, and that there are concerns about his back twisting too much against speed rushers.

Sounds like a good plan.

Pay him 9.8Mil to be disgruntled at RT instead of playing the kid who feels blessed to be playing in the NFL and said he would play wherever.

Alberts only here for 1 more year, if not for just a few more hours.

Fisher is a better run blocker. Makes much more sense to stick him at RT.

I still have high hopes for Hudson and Asamoah...

You ****ers wanting to trade Albert are unbelievable. I'm not happy about this draft pick, and dumping Albert only makes it worse. (net gain = 0).

At the very least we need to hold onto both tackles so we have added to the team.

I want to develop Fisher into an LT. We aren't winning the Superbowl next year. Get him experience playing the real position.

Actually a terrible plan if you want to try and tag and trade him again next year. You want him to play left tackle for 16 games and be freaking amazing at it.

How about no?

Tag him again.

ROFL

He was being sarcastic lol.

I don't think we know that. Albert his generally been considered an outstanding run blocker. I've heard talking heads call him the best run-blocking LT in the NFL. That may not be true, but I don't think we can say which is better. Developing Fisher is the priority.

Dafuq?

When has Albert been considered an outstanding run blocker?

Nice hearing interviews with players that dont sound like robots.

No you haven't.

I was actually replying to wazu's original idea.

We do. Albert has been mediocre as a run blocker the last two seasons. Fisher was the best run blocker in his entire conference.

Yeah. And he was being sarcastic in agreeing with it.

Heh. The mac.

We don't KNOW if Fisher will be better at an NFL level but he PROJECTS to be better at run and pass blocking.. he's simply a better, MUCH smarter athlete. I doubt any of this matters since it makes zero sense to keep Albert now.

Agreed.

I know that, I just happen to have different reasons.

Fisher
Albert
Hudson
Asamoah
Stephenson/Schwartz

Yeah let's put a rookie at LT! Yeah!!!!

Oh yeah...no reason to improve the team...none at all.

Exactly. That guy was awesome. Started following him on twitter before the interview was over.

Worked alright with Albert.

Are...are...are you being serious right now?

Technique and everything else is different on the right side.

I'd MUCH rather see them just put the kid in the spot he is gonna play long term and thats obviously LT.

Let Albert move back to his college position and that makes our line really good.

lol wow i skipped that, he wants albert at lg? lollerz

As I see it right now.....

Albert - Stephenson
Schwartz - Allen
Hudson
Asamoah - Allen
Fisher - Stephenson

We had no one else, dumbass.

Don't act like that's a disaster. Every ****ing year there's a rookie playing left tackle in the league and they do just fine.

What, you draft a QB #1 and you absolutely have to start him, but draft a LINEMAN and suddenly he needs a year to be groomed?

****ing people baffle me.

Saccapoo is furiously fapping right now.

Or ease a small school guy who played against questionable competition into the league at RT to Help, rather than hinder his development.

Not to mention Fischer already said he is willing to play RT and Albert is not. Dorsey has already done this with Bulaga.

Yep. I agree, they should make the deal. Especially if there is a QB or ILB there they want @ 54.

At this point I think keeping Albert only impedes the process of this line growing.

Putting a rookie at LT when you have:

A) A special needs QB

and

B) A guy who has allowed as much pressure as Duane Brown the last two years

Is not smart...

LMAO As with everything, it ends where it began. Circle of life and shit.

:facepalm:

This x1000. I swear to God we have the dumbest ****ing fans in the NFL...hell in any pro league.

Easy there trigger im on your side with most things. Just dont get why he cant start at LT right away.

Edit: This is of course if Albert is in fact traded today. If he is not, yes, put him at RT and keep Albert where he is.

And why we should pick that C out of Cal yet. :thumb:

Makes zero sense to keep Albert now?

We don't have a choice. The draft starts in 50 minutes. They aren't making a deal without a physical.

He's ours, folks. Then he'll walk next year for nothing.

Good times.

I predict Fisher will dominate from LT position as a rookle. Hey, what days to we play Ball State and Miami of Ohio again???

Because you don't go into the season with a rookie LT and a RT who's never played RT before.

I swear this team is an error on the blue screen of death, it fails at failing.

Okay, so now Fisher is a developmental prospect from a small school who needs to be coddled and eased in? Awesome.

Unless you think Albert is going to sign an extension with the Chiefs, trading Albert is the only thing that makes sense right now with this organization. They didn't pick Fisher to be a RT and unless you believe Albert is going to be a hotter commodity next year with a higher tag on him (ROFL) then it's the only thing to do that makes sense.

But of course, we did trade for Alex Smith so we are clearly making a SB push this year... so it might be a good idea to hang onto him for this last year. ROFLROFLROFLROFL

I'm gonna be ****ing furious if Albert is traded.

1.1 needs to IMPROVE THE TEAM.

Right now we IMPROVED THE TEAM so let's try to keep it that way.

Yeah. I am.

He was drafted to play left tackle. If Albert is still here, he won't be forever. I don't see why we should hold up any long term plans for having one year of Albert staying at LT.

2 wrongs dont make a right.

We drafted Fisher 1.1... wrong.

Passing on a 2nd round pick for a 3rd+ round comp pick... wrong.

Well... lets go for 3 wrongs.

We traded for ****ing Alex Smith :deevee:

Don't worry, he's not going to be traded. We are stuck with his $10M dollar disgruntled ass, cock-blocking Fisher from being our LT for this year so we can try to keep Albert happy before he leaves next offseason. The team is so much better now.

FYP

unfortunately, this. He's backed himself into a wall with how much money he is requesting.

The shittiest thing? He will eventually sign a contract with a team close to or even less than what we've offered him this year, but we've already made other arrangements.

Gotta wonder if we will draft another OL with the 54th pick if Albert goes to Miami.

And yes Fisher will be a better LT than Albert was last year. He'll play more games, he'll be better than 17th on PFF and I'll bet that there is a strong chance he'll be the 3rd LT on the AFC team in Hawaii.

I keep seeing this, and it tells me people just don't get how comp picks work.

Unless:

a.) Miami is willing to make a deal without giving Albert a physical, or

b.) Miami was allowed to give him a physical already and it hasn't been leaked,

Then he's not going anywhere.

We're stuck, people.

Jeff Ireland of all people just outsmarted our new GM.

You improve the team by trading Albert for a pick and/or a player. Or you keep him at a ridiculously overpriced 1 year salary and lose him regardless... that's brilliant!!!!!!!!!

It's an amazing phenomenon to me that fans will turn on a player faster if they feel he's asking for too much money than if he's a complete shit human being who asks for a fair salary.

Do you know how the comp pick works?

If he walks in FA the Chiefs are looking at some kind of compensation. Unless they sign another FA of equal value or team of FAs.

It's based on how many players you lose versus how many you sign, and the quality of each.

Branden Albert walking next year doesn't guarantee us a goddamn thing.

I still like Albert. I want him to be a Chief. But at this point, it doesn't make sense. He's not seeing eye to eye with the Chiefs. They just drafted a guy at 1.1 to eventually be LT. Alberts gone one way or another and I prefer the Chiefs get the most they can in return.

.

And the fans being those of a notoriously cheap franchise...

Albert wants traded and is in Miami. He lives there.

I doubt getting a physical done would be that hard to get done.

Maybe I'm confused. We wouldn't get a compensatory pick?

Fisher playing left tackle is not what I was talking about.

And that's fine, but the vitriol against Albert is ****ing ridiculous. Yeah, he's asking for too much money, but now posters want to kick him to the curb and impugn his character in the process, acting like he's a bad teammate and some kind of amazingly selfish asshole when the Chiefs would cut his ass in a microsecond if they didn't feel his back was actually up to snuff.

We don't hate Albert. He's a good solid player. But I don't know how anyone can possibly make an argument that Albert deserves to be one of top 5 or 6 highest paid LT's in the NFL.

They're not performing a full NFL physical in less than an hour.

It's a pretty safe bet we would, unless Albert got injured and didn't play much for his new team.

Again....if he keeps playing at a high level, as he has the last two years...you really don't give a shit what he's paid.

They were talking about this on Sirius NFL Radio the other day - physicals are pretty time intensive. X-rays, MRI's, tests out the ass.

This isn't the yearly checkup we all get from our family physician.

The draft starts in 35 minutes. It's not happening, unless one of the two points I laid out a second ago come into play.*

*for us to receive #54 this year, at least.

For the same reason Bowe deserved to be one of the top 3 paid WRs in the NFL
