Another solid piece to the puzzle that is this teamChiefs confirm that Ryan Lilja has signed.

So two seasons at LT then move him to a completely different position of RT for a year (RT is completely different from LT) and then back over to left side to play guard? I would be shocked and dumb founded if this actually came to pass.
If I had my pick...
LT - Okung/Bulaga
LG - Albert/Waters
C - Weigmann/Waters
RG - Lilja
RT - O'Callaghan or 4th/5th round draft pick
This would give us a lock down left side with a right side that has room to grow. Just my two cents, then again ask 5 people a question and you'll get 6 answers.
Every blocking scheme in the NFL would actually qualify as a zone blocking scheme.
If the defenders stunt, a man blocking scheme would be ruined every play.
The thing that worries me the most is the undersized olinemen. Since they clearly aren't able to overpower the far stronger, bigger defenders, the only way to be effective is to block low.
Once one blocker decides he has to go low, his help will often be too close to change his mind.
I agree that Shanahan's Broncos were sometimes deliberately looking to injure opponents. But employing the miniature o-line seriously increases the risk of injury to the opponents.
The game is dangerous enough without taking advantage of reluctant, and blinded referees.
I have feared this move for quite some time. I am not about to abandon The Chiefs. But I will be very watchful of what this o-line does this season.
Nothing personal but I am glad Pioli and Haley are doing our draft and not you. With that said I am not on the Berry wagon but more along the lines of trying to pick up a good CB or even a WR for our number one pick. With all the dropped balls a high ranged WR would be good for me. FA is still rolling along and we could end up picking someone up in both of the positions. If Sharper is still available , maybe he would be a good pickup for Safety? Doing something like that would leave other positions open for the draft. As for my picks, I like to be closer to the draft date before I nail down my picks which normally do not match anything Pioli has done at NE or here last year. Maybe that is why he makes the big bucks .

waters and albert will be just fine, please dont worry about things that dont need worrying. The will be good and the right side is defintely the problem. Callaghan is not who i want as a starter. Thank God we got ryaan lilja as a RG. Now we can get a center in the draft
