Roaf was a first team all pro a long time before he came here.

And he never had any history of being lazy or disgruntled

Blasphemous.

Let's just hope his back is OK, and he's better than B Rich.

No.

I think it's a hybrid roaf/turley/kendrell bell/ty law signing, with a hint of brett perriman

unless you are talking bout his wife.

Roaf had injuries and was presumed to be on the second half of his career.

I guess we'll see, but others have seen som potential and ability in this kid.

11. Kansas City Chiefs (4)

LT: Branden Albert
LG: +Ryan Lilja
C: Casey Wiegmann
RG: *Jon Asamoah
RT: Barry Richardson

Thursday's acquisition of Jared Gaither was a high-upside, low-rent move. Still just 25 years old, Jonathan Ogden's onetime heir apparent in Baltimore could emerge as an in-season starter if healthy. Richardson is the group's weak link and would-be odd man out. New starter Asamoah replaces Brian Waters and projects as an instant impact run blocker. Though Albert has struggled with consistency, he dominates on the ground and is only 26. The primary backups are Gaither, second-round G/C Rodney Hudson, and right tackle-only Ryan O'Callaghan (20 career starts).

This is such a no brainer I can't imagine how anyone could fault this signing. I mean really.

Hell, why don't we just eliminate the RT position.

O'Callagahn has anvils for shoes.

Those 1.5 less sacks allowed probably had more to do with QB play than anything. Just think, if Zorn can improve Cassel's awareness like he trying to do, he may only give up 6 this year.

LT's main job is to protect the most important player on the team. Albert can run block like a boss, but he can't protect the QB.

Matt Cassel was sacked in one season with the Patriots more than Brady was sacked in the season before and after combined.

It's not always the O-Line's fault that a QB gets sacked.

Albert still needs to improve, no question.

But the fact is, he isn't quite as bad as some portray him to be

Lets not ignore a problem just because we like a certain player though, either. (not saying you are)

Albert may not be as bad as some think he is, but for a 1st round left tackle going into his 4th year, he isnt anything special, either.

Hopefully, this year he starts to put it all together and takes that crucial next step...if he doesnt, lets hope Gaither can.

As the way I see it, Albert just isnt a LT in the nfl period, he'd be better suited at RT or G, so here to hoping Gaither can step in and be the LT and the chiefs draft a RT in the draft next year.

Albert struggles with speed rushers, yes, but Richardson is worse, hell Richardson could probably be a Guard and be good there.

Awesome thanks for making Albert a Pro Bowler.

Can someone really tell me what the actual status of this guy is?

Is he injured? Recovering from injury? Recovered? What?

Do we know?
