Conner Barth Released. Succop's Job To Lose.

**Big Daddy Tek** · 07-29-2009, 12:48 AM

According to Arrowhead Pride, Conner Barth was packing his bags for River Falls when he recieved a call from Todd Haley telling him that his time with the Chiefs was over. Obviously the Chiefs felt that Succop needed all the reps that he could get. Only time will tell.

Wow! Didn't even call him into his office to tell him face to face.

Not that I agree with the call but that is better than hearing through the media first! LOL!

The dude probably knew he was on the rocks anyway since Succup got the contract. Besides, they could bring him back later, possibly for chump change.

We're richer for having lost him.

Guess we're really looking for leg strength. Barth had a pretty weak leg, but he was 10-12 in field goals. Hopefully Succop's 20-30 season last year was a fluke.

Chiefs kicking game especially kick offs have been a frikin joke for some time now..IMO and the return game as well!!!!!!!

The only problem with that is that they're putting off the problem of a having a top, consistent, and longterm kicking game. Splitting time like that is a detriment to both Succop and Barth. Plus, in releasing Barth, they're saying they've found their guy and are confident he can be accurate enough to make up for what Barth would have brought to the table.

Well after the last few seasons, I sure the front office has all available kickers on speed dial.

True; just ask Gunther.
