That last pass in this video by Mahomes is one of the best throws I've ever seen a Chiefs player make

Just a side thought for fun but after watching the DL v OL pass rushing/blocking drill I thought why couldn't we recruit say a Sumo Wrestler the size of Willie Roaf and teach him how to block like Willie Roaf. I mean like a side project and see if he could convert into a power house LT and just see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained. I think it would be a fun experiment :)

We are not going into the season with two quarterbacks. Stave will be cut or put on the practice squad if there is room but I doubt it. We will carry three quarterbacks and Bray and Mahomes are duke it out in preseason. I think coach will determine who wins after second preseason game so the backup will get majority of reps in the final preseason game. My guess is that will be Mahomes and hope so but Bray has the experience playing 4 seasons of preseason he has the edge on it. I will be disappointing if Mahomes doesn't win second string but really cards are stacked against him with how much he has to prove he can handle the offense and read defenses. Bray should have the upper hand.

They will not have two quarterbacks Alex and Patrick they will have three so they will not "flip" Tyler Bray because he is more valuable as a backup right now.

The wise concept here is to not stress about "saving the 2017 season" by desperately throwing Mahomes in. The wise concept is to patiently develop Mahomes to be a HOF quarterback beyond 2017, and more realistically by 2020.

( meaning, Mahomes will start the 2018 or even 2019 season after being fully prepared.. and from there, would likely take another yr or three to develop into the top 5 of all QBs )

I guess it would be fun but the two obstacles I see right from the gate are:

1. Teaching someone to block like Willie Roaf sounds great in theory, but Willie Roaf spent years learning proper technique

2. The Sumo dude's sheer girth would provide a split second deterrent, but an NFL speed rusher off the edge would leave that dude holding his whatever the **** it's called that Sumo guys wear.

I don't see any point in getting stressed over who's the #2 at this point. If Bray is #2 now, that doesn't mean he'll be there come Sept. 7 or even later. Let's play 4 preseason games and see what happens.
As for trading Bray, if Smith is cut/traded/retires at the end of this season and Mahomes is the guy for 2018, who's our #2 then?
There's no doubt in my mind that Mahomes is our future, but let's not get our panties in a bunch about a meaningless preseason game.

Reid has already said the positions will not be determined by the games alone. He said they are being scored on every move in practice, meetings, and games. The final decisions will be made after compiling all the information.

Spiller getting noticed.

Oh, c'mon, gimmie a break.

I'm just as excited as the next guy about Mahomes, but lets slow our roll here. There was NO pass rush, not even a simulated rush with a pretty routine throw.

I know everyone gets all gushy over deep balls, but most every NFL QB can make that throw.

Bray & Smith have been making throws like that all offseason. Hell, even Tyler Bray was hitting goal posts from 40-50 yards out. It means dick.

That was nothing more than a routine throw that ANY NFL QB should be making. That's not what makes a QB special.

Exactly

That video in the article was a thing of beauty.

Maybe the Chiefs have engrained it in me, but, even though I love a well-thrown bomb, there is something about watching the coordinated effort of a well-devised/executed run that gets me hyped.

the stretch and sweep plays during the Trent/Priest/amazing O-line years were a thing of absolute beauty to watch. Practically impossible to defend.

I fully expect Spiller to get stuffed all preseason long. His vision has never impressed me and he'll be running behind a junk line.

If Spiller SOL Sucks Out Loud then I'm going question why Chiefs brought him in because it's not like we are hurting at running back.

This will not slow the Mahomes love at all.

Go to the 3:00 mark and listen to Louis Riddick.

Wood.

I've always like Louis Riddick. We should of hired him as gm

They brought him in because he's a veteran that can learn the offense during the offseason.

If there's an injury to Ware, West or Hunt, he'll more than likely be available during the season.

The guy hasn't done anything in the NFL since 2013 and was cut by two different running back needy teams last year.

The Mods need to change your username to GoChiefs

You should've been aborted

Isn't west still hurt?

Woah go easy on him. He's 12 years old

Hey man, Priest Holmes did nothing for two seasons prior to landing in the right offense with a smart coach who knew how to use him. I don't know if Spiller can find success, but I don't think any other year matters than this one. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see a resurgence. Or to see him cut.

Then he should learn to shut up and listen more. This will save him later in life. Also, grammar.

Priest Holmes had a 1,000 yd season his second season in the league and then was stuck behind Jamal Lewis for two seasons before coming to KC.

Ah, that was football. If only we had a defense.

Then there is still time.

In what world were the jets "running back needy?"

Yes they're is.

When they had injuries at the position.

Spiller was expendable after 4 games.

Powell didnt miss a single game, forte missed 2 and those 2 together accounted for like 2300 yds of offense

Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Actually, 2,187. But they signed Spiller, who had a combined total of 16 yards.

I don't understand why anyone is excited about a 30 year old broke dick.

****in' TELL me about it. Oh, Spiller...

Carry on.

Peter Schrager on The Herd today:

That isn't the full dialogue but it is the main point. Lines up with what Lou Riddick said.

Boner alert

Smith better hope he's 100% healthy this year. He may lose his job and never get it back.

I know, right? whatever is a 33 year old 100 million dollar man gonna do?!?!? Poor thing! :eek:

Apparently he'll just go home and **** you at night, Mrs. Smith.

not much point, really. Does not go deep very often. :deevee:

LMAO

Whelp it looks like Tyreek is going to be a bust this year- this guy really sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/why-wr-...153437660.html

Might as well start the second string guys. No need to try this year

:facepalm:

It's crazy how people just immediately label Tyreek a gadget player and lump him with guys like Tavon and Patterson.

Anyone that labels Tyreek a bust this season can't be serious.

Only caught seven balls over 10 yards last year....and two of those were from Foles....

He's not a gadget in the Dex mold but it remains to be seen if he can elevate his game with a cuck under center.

Why WR Tyreek Hill will not be an offensive weapon this season


Oh, he is serious.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Definitely getting warm, I think.

So ****ing stupid

Haha nice. [emoji23]

He joined when he was Two?

For people saying Hill can't be a #1. Look at this move

Yea, me too.

Looks like Dieter just made the team. Smittys wife is pretty hot as well

I actually think Dieter could be a decent slot receiver

What kind of dogs are those ?

Oh you were staring at the dogs...

If you are even...he's leaving.

Thought he played well last night too. Hope to see more of him.

I want him to take Wilsons spot but I know that will never happen.

Why can't Robinson take Wilsons spot? To big for slot?

Is Robinson behind Hill or Conley

With the NFL Draft coming up, Gehrig hopes he made a big enough name for himself as a do-it-all receiver. Though a humble guy, he still holds supreme confidence in his abilities and his skill set as a receiver.

“I just think that I can do anything that a coach asks me,” says Dieter, “I feel that I’m a complete football player. If I have to go deep and make a catch I think I can do that. If I need to get down and block a linebacker or a (defensive end) I think I can do that. I feel like I’m really, very versatile in my style of play.

“A lot of guys coming out next year haven’t done as much as me versatility-wise in college, so I think that helps me overall.”

At Alabama’s Pro Day, Dieter turned some heads. He ran a 4.58 40-yard dash – putting him ahead of projected early-round picks like Houston’s Greg Ward Jr., Eastern Washington’s Cooper Kupp, Clemson’s Artavis Scott, and Ole Miss’ Damore’ea Stringfellow. His 32.5” vertical jump puts him tied with USC’s JuJu Smith-Schuster and Clemson’s Mike Williams – both of which are considered first or second round prospects and immediate impact-makers.

“Obviously, I’m not in the rooms with people making the decisions,” Dieter stated, “but I think I helped myself on Pro Day. I’ll have to continue working hard every day, but I think I had an overall good day.”

In addition to a tremendous showing in the athletic drills, he caught all but one ball thrown to him from his former quarterback, Matt Johnson, in the receiver drills.

“Any team that picks me up I feel I can fit in because I can do a lot of things other receivers can’t do.”

Whichever team does decide to pick up Gehrig come draft week will be getting a lot more than just a talented guy on the field. The guy Dieter can be off-the-field for the community may rival what he can do on it.

“I’m a pretty down-to-earth person, I love spending time with my dogs… I have two French Bulldogs.”


In just the few months he was enrolled at Alabama, Dieter managed to snag the Pat Trammell award at the end of the season along with Dalvin Tomlinson. The award – given to those who demonstrate ‘integrity, character, academic importance, and inspirational leadership’ – has been given to chosen Alabama players since 1988. The list includes names like Shaun Alexander, Andrew Zow and Richard Mullaney.


Even though he may not have had the year he wanted, he alluded to the level of talent he faced each day in practice and the relationships he built with the other guys on the team as to why he has no regrets on the season, and why his time at Alabama will forever be invaluable to him.

“There’s competition every single day. The best players in the country come here to play and you have to compete every single day if you want to be on the field on Saturdays. You can’t really pick a favorite moment from the season, but getting to play with that group of guys and getting to know people from the team and building relationships with guys that I’ll probably keep talking to the rest of my life is definitely the thing I’ll remember the most.”

A story-book ending is in store for Gehrig Dieter. A 3-star kid from Indiana that went from having just a handful of offers, to starting for the Alabama Crimson Tide in a National Championship game. He has had to earn each opportunity awarded to him, and he has always taken advantage of those. Next up is an opportunity to chase a dream and play in the National Football League. I fully expect that Gehrig will make the most out of this opportunity, and that we will be seeing him for many Sundays to come.

He deserves it.

Which Chiefs player has the hottest GF/Wife

sounds like it should be a new thread

Someone needs to start it. I don't have thread posting privileges so will somebody do the honors. This is a very serious topic

Doesn't school start next week?

Already started. Just started freshman year a week ago :)

So IMHO the 1st string looked polished.

Bray looked like a young b/u. He made some great throws and his INT was a clear lack of judgement.

Alex and PM Dawn both looked good...

PM Dawn?

Gay.

Just stop.

Barstool Sports @barstoolsports
Marshawn sitting, eating, & wearing a beanie during the national anthem. Fresh out of ****s to give.

LMAO

Agreed. Every nickname I have heard so far for Mahomes has been awful... except I did think Saint Patrick had a nice ring to it. :hmmm:

PM Dawn is the worst nickname in history. JUST STOP. 2PM is awful too.

ASS Destroyer.

The tweets in the OP tell us that Kelce and Chris Jones are practicing today.
