Keep ****ing doubting Rishaw Johnson.

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/3...-johnson-guard

Kansas City Chiefs G Rishaw Johnson impressed late last season
By Joel Thorman
on Mar 19 2014, 8:44a

Regular readers may have noticed that we recently posted an item on Chiefs safety Sanders Commings and whether he could end up being the answer at free safety. Right here we have another post wondering if an in-house player is the answer at a position of need.

The position is guard and the player is Rishaw Johnson.

As a refresher, Johnson was an SEC recruit at Ole Miss in 2008. He was there until 2010 when he was kicked off the team. He then went to California (PA). He joined the Seahawks in his first season in the NFL then came to Kansas City his second year. The league lists him at 6'3 and 313 pounds. Last year's starting guards are listed at 340 pounds (Geoff Scwhartz), 306 pounds (Jon Asamoah) and 305 pounds (Jon Asamoah).

Matt Conner included Johnson in our in-house players series earlier this year but I came across a couple more of items on Johnson that warrants another look-see.

Last week, I saw this from Lance Zierlein, sports talk radio host in Houston and football writer:

Quote:
Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein

@bkissel7 @Schottey Chiefs believe Rishaw is ready to take over. They LOVED how he played vs. SD at end of the year.
Johnson was among the Chiefs backups that played in Week 17 against the Chargers while the starters rested but a backup throughout the season. That caught my interest for obvious reasons being free agency week and all. If the Chiefs believe they possibly / maybe / could have a potential starting guard on the roster, they probably wouldn't go out and spend big money on a guard in free agency, right?

Quote:
Terez A. Paylor @TerezPaylor

This is true. Did well vs SD RT @ArrowheadPride: Seems like a long shot but Chiefs do have an in-house option at OG http://sbn.to/1jxEmMw
But wait! There's more!

Schwartz, who is now with the Giants in New York, went on The Drive with Danny Parkins on 610 Sports on Tuesday. Danny asked him what the Chiefs have in the guys who were behind him on the Chiefs line last season.

"Rishaw played really well in the Chargers game," Schwartz said. "He's a guy that has a lot of talent and he really developed as the year went on. He's strong and explosive off the ball. Sometimes it takes guys a couple of years to get comfortable where they're playing in a game. He did a great job against the Chargers."

Another mention of the Chargers game ... interesting. This led me to asking Chiefs GM John Dorsey on our call yesterday how important that Week 17 game was for the coaching staff and front office, getting the youngsters a shot to play.

"Anytime you can get another opportunity to evaluate the players that don't get to contribute on a week-in, week-out basis, that's very helpful," Dorsey said. "What it does is it helps the coaching staff get a degree of comfort that those guys in the personnel department as they build this thing. That's what the communication between the coaches and the personnel staff does. It's always an advantage to get those guys to play and those guys showed very well on Week 17 of the NFL schedule."

Unfortunately, Dorsey wasn't giving us an in-depth scouting report on Johnson but he did say this: "He's going to come in here and he's going to compete. He's showed that he can play the game of football, and I'm just excited to see how much stride he has made here this year."

It's a long way to the season opener with more free agency and the 2014 NFL Draft to acquire more talent as well as evaluation opportunities such as OTAs and training camp to evaluate existing talent. Rishaw Johnson is one of those existing talents that is one to keep an eye on.

It's almost like the Sanders Commings situation. You have hopes that this guy can come in and take over the job next year. But he's probably too young and inexperienced to hand the job to him. Competition and veteran insurance (Jeff Linkenbach?) is needed.

My gut has been telling me for a while that the Chiefs first round pick will be an offensive lineman. That would obviously shake things up.

Oh yeah, I agree. I was just stating that it's not going to be an improvement if when it's all over we just managed to sign what we lost because that would only get us to where we were. Even IF that ends up being the case, you still have to hope the new guys can come in, learn a new system and play at the same level as the guys they replaced. Not likely.

Shit, now I'm all pissed off AGAIN. Gotta take a break for a bit...

seeing as how they won't have the luxury of playing Thad Lewis, Jason Campbell, Case ****ing Keenum, and whatever other 3rd string slop QBs they got to beat on last year, while they won't be "doomed" they will have to face real QBs and some of them with real defenses this time around.

I knew you were full of shit. Didn't you give me grief recently over many posts that this team wasn't far away from super bowl contention and should be loading up in free agency?

So which side are you on? Or are you going to find whatever angle breathes pessimism.

You also get false improvement if you have to buy those improvements. For as much criticism as there has been, it hasn't had a track record of success. If you want to load up around an elite QB or stacked team... Sure.

You are making the assumption that the chiefs stay the same because they didn't add anybody.

This offseason, let the record show, former Chiefs have been paid more than one hundred million dollars more than new Chiefs have been signed to.

Holy wow.

You know what would be stupid? Paying 100 million to stay an 11-6 team or worse. That's what resigning those guys would have been. You get better through the draft. Always have, always will.

Barring signing/trading for a franchise qb.

we didn't have to keep the same players


We just lost a bunch and didn't replace them with anything.

you can try and talk about how we already have replacements etc but the talent is still gone. You move backup up to starters to replace the losses and now you still have 5 holes in depth guys.

So you say we will draft better guys and end up better? No, not really because if we had replace the lost players in FA we still could have still drafted 'better guys' and ended up with the FA guys + the draft guys and been much improved.

Not only that but we are also more locked in to draft certain positions because we created more holes in FA. Now we have to draft 5 guy to specifically replace the FA losses which means we won't be getting better, just staying stagnant.

6 draft picks to replace 5 holes
