Do we have to designate IR players before or after the cuts? What about IR-Return? You might see Lovett on that list instead of trying to sneak him through waivers.

For Ragland or DOD to get cut and I think DOD could, there would have to be a LB trade because we have very poor depth there.
The only real sign I guess between the receivers is Pringle goes in earlier and leaves and then Thompson plays with the real scrubs at the end. |

And what have you seen from Pringle to suggest he can 'develop into a legit outside guy'? I don't mean someone you use in a pinch, but an actual starting caliber WR you're going to use over Hardman at the X. Because that's what you're talking about here long-term. I don't think he managed to distinguish himself from Kemp and if he did it was in a negative fashion. Would you have said "well we need to keep Kemp to see if he can develop into a legit outside guy..." Kemp is YOUNGER than Byron Pringle, gents. By a fair amount - almost 2 years. Pringle will turn 26 in November; he's Sammy Watkins' age. Mayhaps we should stop talking about all the untapped potential of the overaged WR 'prospect' who's done little to showcase himself. If he can help you right now, so be it. If he's more useful to the 2019 Chiefs than Thompson - keep him. But you don't go looking down the road on guys like this; there's an infinitely greater chance that he's Fred Williams than Victor Cruz.

I haven't seen anything with him, just saying if they have. I'd keep Thompson and would have kept Kemp just so I could have had something to argue with staylor about during down times of the season.

I think Andy wants to take a more methodical approach at times. Pat even mentioned going deep too often and missing easy plays.
Have to think Andy reviewed the tape and saw that there were tons of opportunities in the intermediate area (10-15 yards) due to teams putting 3 safeties on the field to limit the big play. Cody Thompson is a nice slot option, and that’s all we need from him right now. Thompson brings above average lateral speed and excellent route running to the table. We didn’t have that from Robinson, Conley, Kemp, Dieter or Benjamin last year. Tom Brady does that all the time. He kills teams in the intermediate. Pat doing that will make him even more dangerous

Lets be real it's not like Pringle or Thompson will ever play, that could just come down to who's more valuable on specials.
They'll probably put DAT on offense before either of those guys gets a run. |

I think you keep DOD for coverage packages. I see Attaochu was left off the list. Why couldn't you move him to MLB? He's almost the same size as Ragland and let someone else call the defense. I'm just tired of seeing Reg whiff, bounce off people, and generally be lost in coverage.

Robinson does't have the speed for the perimeter or the route running for the slot. He's Chris Conley without the deep speed which explains why he's produced 10.4 receiving yards/game as a Chief compared to Conley's 23.3 yards/game. But he can't be cut because we might lose that 10.4 yards/game of production.

Attaochu is something of a converted DE who plays Sam in primarily rush capacity. If seeing Ragland in space is something that bothers you (it should) then I suspect you won't care for seeing Attaouchu out there either. He's very possibly the least likely Mike we have among the LB options. Even if you took Ragland out, I suspect that Wilson, Lee and maybe even DoD would be better.

He actually did perform really well last preseason.

Attouchu will probably make the roster but as a situational backup.

Meanwhile people are trying to justify keeping Pringle because of his 'potential'. I'm aware that Kemp's not longer a realistic possibility - my point is to draw the contrast between the two players. One guy gets kicked every chance possible and the other guy people are bending over backwards to try to keep.

And if I lost Hitchens, I'd shift Lee to the Mike and consider Niemann at Will (or even DoD). And if that didn't work, I'd play more Nickel sets with 2 backers and have Lee/Wilson out there (alongside Hitchens if healthy or as a duo if he isn't). There are a half dozen or more options I'd explore before Attaochu at Mike, including street free agents. That's not to say he can't be useful, but he's only slightly more likely to succeed at MLB than Kpassagnon would be. It ain't a great idea.
