If you count LDT and Long we're going to have four solid backups who can play inside. Wylie's versatility doesn't hurt, but I think he's going to have to beat out PTW as a tackle to make it. [Reply]

We need to keep Gore and PTW. There's just something about some players that gives you hope about their football future.
Ceh
Williams
Gore
Unless you want to keep McKinnon over Williams. I prefer William's power. Not sure why we have a fullback, we barely used Sherman.
PTW seems to be unlimited physically. We seem to be getting bigger along the Oline, which i prefer. I watched Brown pass his man off to thuney and smoothly grab the guy on the stunt. My weiner got hard.

Long isn't coming back, that tank is reading E. I don't think we've kept Wylie around for his play at G, we've counted on him as an emergency T. I've seen quite enough of that "play". Allegretti can play C/G and LDT can play G. Tega looked pretty good at T last game. True enough it was against the Cards scrubs, but that's where Wylie got his reps as well. [Reply]
Yeah at this point it's difficult to count on Long for anything. I mean sure put him on the PUP and if we need him later in the year then fine, but I don't think you can go into the season counting him as any kind of depth at G or RT.
Sadly, he's nothing more than hype at this point. [Reply]
They are not cutting Williams, they trust him in pass protection... Blythe, before the hernia, was playing really well and will probably make the team, hopefully we can trade LDT, if he is open to it, even then Wylie is probably gone. [Reply]

We're still at 48 now. We're thin at LB so Cobb makes 49 and I like Ward for 50. For 51-53, I'll go Keyes, Key, and Fountain. Fountain and perhaps Key will probably be cut for pickups or when LDT returns.
There was an earlier discussion about Winchester being a wasted spot. I'd disagree, the LS is someone you want to count on just as much as your punter. The Chiefs have had a designated LS since 2000 and I'd guess that's pretty standard throughout the league.
No serious person thinks a quality LS isn’t valuable. [Reply]
The more I think about it, the more realistic a undefeated season is. A undefeated season must mean we have depth and I just think about it Mahomes we’re to miss any number of games I feel 100% capable that Henne can go in there and win against anybody. He proved it in the playoffs. [Reply]
My preseason week 2 projected final roster (not assuming waiver/FA signings). I fully expect that 2-3 of these guys on this list will be some combination
of traded or replaced by someone not yet on the roster.
The players i considered for the final roster spot: Bell, LDT, Key.
I went with Bell ultimately because he's a special teamer who has a couple of years in the offense. I understand that cutting LDT doesn't make salary
cap sense, but i think the Chiefs care more about the best roster than what makes salary cap sense. LDT missed a year of football and was running with the 3rd team, mostly, before getting hurt. [Reply]

Blythe just had hernia surgery so he may be on the PUP [Reply]
