First Units (so far)

[jmlamerson]

Here's how the Chiefs lined up with their first units during their first full-squad practice:

Offense
QB - Matt Cassel
RB - Larry Johnson
FB - Mike Cox
WR - Dwayne Bowe
WR - Mark Bradley
TE - Brad Cottam
LT - Branden Albert
LG - Wade Smith (for the absent Brian Waters)
C - Rudy Niswanger
RG - Mike Goff
RT - Damion McIntosh

Defense
LE - Tyson Jackson
NT - Ron Edwards
RE - Alex Magee (for the injured Glenn Dorsey)
OLB - Monty Beisel (for the absent Mike Vrabel)
ILB - Zach Thomas
ILB - Derrick Johnson
OLB - Tamba Hali
CB - Brandon Flowers
CB - Brandon Carr
FS - Jarrad Page
SS - Bernard Pollard

Starting lineups | Red Zone

Most interesting to me is Edwards at NT instead of Tank. Also Bradley instead of Engram at 2WR and that we're keeping Niswanger at C and Goff at RG, instead of vice versa.

I think you missed some of important stuff hehe

There were a handful of players who did not take part as they rehab from injury: QB Brodie Croyle, CB Maurice Leggett, TE Tony Davis, LB Turk McBride, DT Tank Tyler, DE Glenn Dorsey, OLB Brian Johnston and RB Kolby Smith.

Tank is still the starting Nt, but like Dorsey is injured atm.

he's being move dto LB too?

I wanna hear more about Waters, we know he was pouting this off season, wonder if these are connected

[wolfpack]

waters has had it easy since DV. he got his feelings hurt and he might have to work for his job.
I say trade him for picks next year but dont release him, he`s under contract.
Still could use a WR, wish they would trade for Boulden.

HEHE ya McBride at LB is a joke... I say send Waters, McBride, and that 2010 2nd we got for TG to the Cards for Boldin!!!!!!

Rumors say the Cards want a 2nd and a player, or a 1st and a 3rd/4th.

I know a lot of people think we can get a 2nd for Waters, but I'm guessing more like a 3rd...

McBride is worthless to us now and will not start or do much coming off the bench...

That 2nd we got for Tony will be a LATE 2nd....

If the Cards would do a straight up Waters/2nd for Boldin do it, but I think they might do it if we add McBride to the trade...

It is funny to me that when some of these guys "may" be on the chopping block, they suddenly "aquire" injuries.

If I am not mistaken, it makes it difficult to cut a guy, if at all, if they have an injury.

Hmmm...

Yeah, you're mistaken. A team can cut a player for being injured, and it has no additional cap effects.

That would be a great trade for both teams. The Cards get a project 3-4 guy, an upgrade in their interior OL, and a 2nd rounder. I don't think they'll do much better.

One small nitpick: McBride was always worthless to us.

[chiefnut]

Gee, i hope we'll have enuf players left to field a team. that's alot of injuries for no=contact.

LOL So true....

I guess we could throw in Boone too hehehe

DON'T LIKE THIS TRADE, you want to send an all pro guard and a 2nd round pick, and a DE [still w/potential to be a starter] for a great WR that we can use but may not actually need. now if you find a starting NT out there, that would be worth lookin inta.

We have a STUD NT with Tank!!! Why in the word would we want another NT hehe?

Waters on our team has got us nothing... our line has been VERY bad the last couple of years WITH Waters on it. I would think getting a threat like Boldin would help us a TON more then keeping a old LG wouldn't you hehe?

You also must of missed the memo??? McBride is now a OLB for us NOT a DE!!!! If you think Hali is gonna have a hard time switching from DE to OLB McBride is gonna have it 10X harder moving off the Dline!!! McBride did nothing for us when we ran the 4-3 and now is pretty much out of the rotation in our new 4-3 "under". So trading McBride would be like trading a practice team player at this point.

Waters, McBride, 2010 2nd

For

Boldin

HELL YES I WOULD!!!!!!
