Steve Maneri (our backup RT) promoted to TE

The Chiefs must be reading my old threads because I talked about using this guy as a blocking TE like we did with Dunn. He is a big guy 6"6 290 I'm sure he will slim down to 275 or so, either way that is a big boy, that will be able to man handle most LB's.

IMO Maneri could be a solid blocking tight end in short yardage, goal-line sets and jumbo packages. I would still like to see the Chiefs add Coby Fleener in round 2 (if he lasts that long).

Polumalu thinks the safties will have issues as well. I like the move, he played TE in college so it should be an easy transition for him.

Dont know much about him, but by the sounds of it its a good move.

i miss jason dunn....

The other conclusion that can be drawn is that there will be big changes at RT. This likely means we need at least 2 guys who can play RT.

Big changes at RT sounds good to me!
