jetlord 10,209 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My list includes DE Ward, Fenton, Fountain, and Chubb. Of course, the O-line, Thornhill, Baker, and Gay/Bolton are also worth checking out, but they'll make the team no matter what. I'm rooting for Fenton and hope he wins over Bell if the Chiefs only keep three TEs. Ward looked good but it would be useful to see him against at least #2s. Fountain is probably playing for a PS spot, but he looked good last week. Know nothing about Cobb but he was a tiger against SFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far they look good. Hoping Kemp shows some of that Training Camp magic. And Hardman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but I'm not sure what Bell can do that a FB or sixth O-lineman can't. He's close to zero as a receiving threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy doesn't use a lot of inline blocking with TEs even when he had Bell. He mostly has them blocking in space, including in the screen game, and both Fortson and Grey have shown they can do this, plus have much higher upside as receivers. You could likely carry Bell on the expanded PS this year and not risk losing one of the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'd hate to lose Fortson over Bell. Maybe they carry 4 TEs? Fortson has earned a spot on the team but I'm not sure the numbers are in his favor. DieHard and AFCWEST 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhitter 1,424 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thornhill beasted last night. Good to see that athleticism on display. The pick was filthy. Oline looked solid. Run game was consistently good. Only negatives I saw that stood out was Mahomes seemed off his game and of course Key giving up a TD two weeks in a row.

Andy likes having that on the roster. While he doesn't use it that much, he also doesn't use a fullback much but yet here we are with another fullback. No idea what he'll do.

Having Bell as an a rare in line blocker isn't worth losing Fortson. But like DRob and Sorenson, Andy seems to go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
