jetlord 10,210 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Still several weeks to go, but after TC and two pre-season games, who does everyone think has moved up on the roster and who has slipped? My uninformed guesses including some obvious. Up: Cody Thompson--Good camp, played well, and got a boost with Kemp going down. Drops are rare and he seems to gt open. Miller--Made some plays in the games and played with the ones last night. Thompson--If he can show reliable pass blocking, the Chiefs have a new RB who can run, catch, and get YAC. Alligretti--Good backup center and guard who will contest with Reiter for a starting job next year. Kpass/Speaks--Careers revived thanks to a DC who lets them play their way in their natural positions. Time to remove the bust tags. Down: DOD--Got PT last night (PIT game) but didn't distinguish himself and may fall victim to the addition of Lee and Wilson. X. Williams--Behind too many DTs and/or potential DTs (see Kpass/Speaks) and Ivie would be a cheaper substitute Hyde--Not sure why he's needed with the play of Thompson and Darrel Williams' short yardage ability. Better hope the Chiefs keep four RBs T. Smith--Can't play CB, hasn't shown in the offensive backfield, and the Chiefs are experimenting with other returners. Better hope the Chiefs keep four RBs. Wade--Started camp and the first sub for Breeland and disappeared. If he had a chance to make the roster, Miller and Claiborne probably took it away. Everyone probably has their own different list and I've omitted the PS candidates. The list will churn over the next two weeks but this is how I see it for now. .

reesebobby 5,664 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm not sure he qualifies as an up, since he's a high draft pick and it's his first year, but I've like what I've seen of Hardman. Also Blake Bell and Thornhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranjisMcbasketball 781 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I may put more thought into this later but regarding the op post i cant agree speaks is stock up, looks even worse than last season to me and now is injured, probably due to being grossly out of shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks pretty much like what I have seen and heard. More worried about CB now than before and less worried about WR. I was hoping Fields or Wade or Fenton would emerge. Ward and Fuller have struggled more than I anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I don't agree with the assessment on Breeland Speaks. He looks mostly terrible at DE and they insist on playing him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yeah, Speaks has not looked great. I gets in by default but I think he is playing for his job next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NChiefsCorner 496 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think as of right now Pringle doesn't make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 They've lost their minds if they aren't at least placing him on the trading block. The simple answer is to put him inside and leave him there, so Chris Jones isn't worn out and hurt by the end but that would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringle has done well at camp and has speed. Not sure how andy prioritizes speed vs possesion guys like thompson. Letting avg backup qb's dictate who's a good wr is a mistake. It's about getting open on tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked to me thompson was consistently getting open whereas pringle couldn’t separate. Which pains me to admit because i was high on pringle last year, just doesn’t appear to be the same player this season imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,160 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I agree for the most part. Not sure about Speaks, and I'd have to go back and watch the game again. Seeing DOD still out there in the 4th quarter, with what I assume were the 4th stingers isn't a good sign IMO. He flashed a few times last year and I thought he'd do better.

Is Kpass ahead of Ogbah? It will be interesting to see how it shakes out and how many D-line they keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Left out one "down." Patrick Mahomes. He obviously sucks. Shurmer is moving up the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,124 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Yeah Speaks looks slow and is on the ground a lot. Herb Miller looked great to start the game but then got burned bad by Joshua Dobbs on a 40 yard reception. I agree with whoever stated they are more worried now about our DB corp than before. Ward looks to be a solid backup at this point not a potential break out stud like we hoped. Fuller should be reliable in the slot and at this moment Bashaud Breeland is our best corner. That is scary. MoC should help but he's out the first 4 games. Hope Veach is looking at bringing someone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
