What NFL newtork critics say about Herm Edwards.

You could jump to the last 2 mins to hear what they say about Herm.

Spoilers alert "He's safe". But they do put Carl in hot water.

Exactly. Herb Taylor earned at least a LOOK in another slot on the line. Worst case scenario: he's worse than Sackintosh... but how much worse can you possibly get??

It's been a long time since I had to bring up this kind of scenario; there just weren't any viable cards in the Chiefs deck, and two seasons can feel like a lifetime.
But now that I've committed it to "shareable media", it feels like Gannon/Grbac all over again.

We're at a point where we can and SHOULD institute a team-wide, "The Ol' College Try"-policy in terms of starters.
If you can earn it by playing well consistently, then you should get the job.
Looking back at the Denver game, I never felt for one second then, OR today, that our victory was a fluke.
That squad, on THAT day, had chemistry. It worked.
And it chaps my a** to no end when you watch a guy like Kolby Smith have a great and productive day while LJ sits on the bench, and then you hear Herm say stuff like "We're not sure that he's a starter".
Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that your game and your attitude, and the way you carry yourself should be all of the "evaluation" a coach should need; contracts be damned.

I really think it will be next yeat before Albert shows his true stuff. Its hard to be a LT when you have a right handed QB. Taylor DOES deserve a look at RT. I think it will be a little bit easier of a position for him to learn. Also with Niswanger, I think he needs 1 good year under his belt to get to know the position. I think where we are going to hurt at most is going to be at the guard positions. I would be surprised to see Waters back next year. I think the first 3 picks we get depending on whos there should be used exclusively on the O-line. Unless we get 1 of the better QB's in the 3rd.

AMEN!!! (Maybe not three, but I sure wouldn't complain.)

I thought Jordan Black and Svitek were pretty bad, but whatever.

Ha! As soon as I posted that, I anticipated a Trezelle Jenkins reference, but Chris Terry works too. :-)

I think if Waters is going to retire, we should draft one stallion guard, and get another one, an actual, real, bona fide *Veteran* free agent for the other one. I'm all for a young line, but a guy who's been doing it for a while would be a welcome addition, too.

And what about the other guy we drafted this year for O-line? Have we heard anything out of him? Barry Richardson would almost have to be better than Macintosh.

And... oh my god, a Trezelle Jenkins reference

eek!
