I just heard culpepper is going to KC on tuesday and wants to cut a deal but it will have to be a multi year deal if he is to sign a contract...
I was not able to see the game in my area but did see the hi-lites and I have to admit, Thigpen looked good, he seemed to be more relaxed. He could turn out to be pretty good in the long run. But, if culpepper steps in, with herm and carl in charge, thigpen may only have 2 or 3 weeks to prove himself.
Here's the props I'm going to give Thigpen:
When asked earlier in the week if he felt he'd have a better game knowing for certain that he was going to start, he said "Absolutely, it makes a difference and I will be better".
And it did, and he was.
Now I know that sounds like a pretty stock answer from any pro athlete, but after hearing Brodie, Damon, Carl, and Herm speak this same kind of tag line ad-nausem, it's refreshing and hopeful to see one of our Chiefs DELIVER ON IT!
So mad props to Tyler, and I hope I AM wrong about him because I appreciate a true underdog and I like to WIN.
Brodie was given a fair chance to prove himself and in my book he failed and should be cut at years end, as for DH, he has been up one game and down the next. Who knows what will happen with Gray, he says he can be ready in two weeks and culpepper, well we'll have to see what kind of a deal he is willing to make. It's also been said if LJ gets cut we will be able to recoop some of the 19 mill he is planning to get. This would work well for next years cap.
While I can't say too much in favor of our defense, other than Hali and Flowers, I am hoping that the O-line is starting to get a feel for each other, and that they will be able to continue to improve because of it.
If they protect similar to the way they did today, on a consistent basis, and upgrade their overall run-blocking, I may be able to get behind the first-round QB talk.
But, if they revert back to where they were before this game, then I will continue to push for the o-line. If Albert finishes the season as well as he has started it, then that would be enough for me to lower my o-line draft expectations to second-third round. (with, hopefully, a decent vet being added.)
For this week though, I am actually excited about how that group, whoever they were, performed. And will likely stay off their backs for now. :D (I'm not a Punter anyway.)
You know, I always said that "I love everything about Brodie Croyle except his game". I was pulling for him big-time, but the one concern we all had about him was the one bulls eye he nailed in New England.
And then again against Tennessee.
I feel for the guy, I really do. He was the kind of guy you wanted as a figurehead for your team; great stand-up background with his family and a steady, easygoing, and unassuming kind of manner.
And I think it's only fair to shovel at least half of the overall failure in Herm's direction. Herm did "help" in getting him injured.
As for LJ, the guy is just straight-up poison to this team and I want him gone.
We've had a relatively "thug-free" franchise history, and I'd like to keep it that way. If you want to be a hip-hop star and act like a jackass, that's fine; just take it somewhere else.
