With Waiver-Wire Sunday coming up who do you feel the Chiefs should give a look?

**captainamerica** · 09-05-2009, 04:27 PM

I was thinking for starters why not give TE Leonard Pope a look? He's a big guy standing at 6'8 and was the starter for the Cards last season. Sean Ryan has earned the starting job for us, but Cottam, O'Connell, and Crabtree haven't been impressive. I say we should release all 3 and sign Pope. Pope's a big guy who know's Hailey's offense and would be a very solid backup for us. What do you guys think?

If not Leonard Pope another TE we could go after that would be an upgrade over Jake O'Connell is Alex Smith. Alex Smith has lots of starting experience as is a decent option at TE.

(sorry for the double post. I couldn't edit my previous post, because 10 minutes had already expired.)

I hear Bernard Pollard is available, maybe we should give him a look. That guy is a stud.

WE traded for two just 10 days ago lets nont give up hope just yet. How about:

The Jaguars released OT Tony Pashos, a league source told NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, because he wouldn’t agree to a pay cut. Pashos was scheduled to make $4.3 million this season

What a great idea. We could definitily sign him on and than release one of the weaker players on our team. I mean Pollard's a guy that's good enough to be our starter. Who ever released him sure made a dumbass decision.

You're right....I know we had those guys only for one or two games of the preseason and it does take some time to build chemistry and trust on the O-Line....

I just was hoping to see an IMMEDIATE impact.....and from the last game it just seems the line isn't even better than the last couple of horrible years.

All of these defensive improvements aren't going to mean diddly if the offense can't make 1st downs and protect the QB.

I know Pioli and company are smarter than me, and working on it..I am just frustrated and impatient...Seeing the good defense and knowing what a torture it will be watching them break down and get tired due to lack of offensive production is just not something I am looking forward to doing....

But, thanks for giving me hope...I do hope the two guys from Miami will help, and heck I hope we do sign Pashos..I know nothing about him but we need to do something to put a spark in the line.

Pope is an option, maybe, but I don't think we'll pick him up. Given the shakiness of our OL, we need a blocking TE, and that's where Pope's been deficient.

Sean Ryan's a turd when he's on the field. Him starting is a testament to just how bad we are at TE.

Players waived that I would like the Chiefs to take a look at:

- Tony Pashos (OT)
- Shaun Smith (DT)
- Benjamin Watson (TE)
- Ryan O'Callaghan (OT/G)
- Brian Russel (S)
- Kynan Forney (G)
- Leonard Pope (TE)

I can live with our WRs for now. MAybe there someone out there I don't know of that others may they might want to take a look at. Not named David Tyree I hope.

Bruce Davis- a LB the Steelers let go. Young, pretty dang talented, though I'll admit to not watching a lot of film on the guy.

But It would certainly be nice to get some depth there.

**AkChief49** · 09-05-2009, 11:46 PM

whatever happened to Levi Jones?he sign with anyone?

If I was LeGarrette Blount I'd false crack you right now for suggesting we need more LBs.

Thats truth. Straight up.
