Chiefs Beloved: Your Favorite Chiefs. Round 1, Heat 7. Offensive Line

**Rain Man** · 02-20-2015, 11:08 AM

This is Heat 1 of 4 heats of offensive lineman, which includes centers, guards, and tackles.

Pick your three favorites. Not the best players, but your favorites, based on the field, off the field, personality, style, team loyalty, whatever.

All in different hats most likely. I'm predicting John Alt in the 1st one.

Dave Szott and Tim Grunhard are actually my favorite Chiefs linemen.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 02-20-2015, 11:13 AM

1. Shields no Brainer

2. Waters see 1

3. Scott had to take him over Branden. Branden bailed on us.

**Rain Man** · 02-20-2015, 11:16 AM

Tougher heat that I expected given the volume of offensive linemen who played 3+ years. I went:

#1 - Will Shields. When you move your right guard out to left tackle due to injury and he still dominates ... that's unreal. Never missed a game, never got arrested even though he was from Nebraska, and his wife even posted here briefly. Can't beat that.

#2 - Irv Eatman. He's the first giant I ever saw in real life. That alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, I liked how we snagged him from the USFL.

#3 - Ed Budde. 14 seasons in the trenches, and he stayed until the bitter end to protect Lenny the Cool. I'll give him a nostalgia vote.

It kills me to note vote for Dave Szott because I was a huge Szott fan. He was a great success story. But like his pro bowl votes, he couldn't quite crack into the top tier.

And Glenn Parker is another one that I hate not voting for. He kind of saved one of our seasons once.

I think Siglar's contributions are underrated since he played on such a strong line, so I guess I'll underrate him here too.

Aw, geez. And I missed Brian Waters' name. He might have made my top three. Amazingly mobile and fun to watch.

Shields and Waters were easy. Choosing between Szott and Budde was a tough one. Had to go old school and go with Budde.

**Rain Man** · 02-20-2015, 11:45 AM

The early results are surprising to me. I figured that Shields would run away with it, but Szott and Waters are doing better than I expected relative to Eatman and Budde. I figured that would be a four-way race. I also expected Glenn Parker to get some votes, and he's got zilch so far.

This list is too easy.

Shields wife posted here for a while? You should really go into some detail on that RM...

TLO · 02-20-2015, 01:14 PM

Darnell Alford.

**Easy 6** · 02-20-2015, 01:17 PM

Too bad Sampsons heart wasnt in it, he had genuine potential.

**HemiEd** · 02-20-2015, 01:20 PM

Waters, Shields and Szott, hard for me to leave off two of my favorites Albert and Budde

It was when his final contract was coming up. She came and made a few posts in response to some people who were debating the positional value of a guard. I don't think she came away with an undying love for this place.
