CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Im not going pretend i followed his career the last couple years when he was with the lions and giants, but the 2 years he played with the patriots in 18 and 19 he seemed to be a solid player. hopefully he can help out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If the Chiefs keep four DTs and six DEs, I don't think Shelton will be long for this roster. How much mileage is left on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Used to be a solid prospect coming out but never really lived up to that. Surprised by the move but hopefully he works out for the better. Not sure who's the odd man out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'm wondering if this move is a reaction to Stallworth getting hurt? Maybe Saunders isn't panning out as I rarely hear him mentioned in any Chiefs news? oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the possibility of "just in case" during camp, so may be they want a veteran with some reps if a camp injury occurs. Might even be an in-season consideration assuming he can't land a full time gig. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The Chiefs only have four credible DT healthy in camp right now. Signing another one for depth and competition makes sense. Let Wharton, Saunders, and Shelton fight it out for roster spots. I'm not betting on Shelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wharton's pass rush skills will get him to stay as the next man up behind/next to Jones. Saunders and Shelton should likely be battling for the backup spot to Nnadi.

Maybe the light will come on for him or maybe the new line coach will get through to him. Replacing Naadi with the upside of better pass rush skills would seem a natural for Saunders.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Saunders only played in 7 games last year and 3 games the year before. They may feel he is an ice bath warrior and that is why they brought in a DT. I think you might have to keep 5 DTs if you want to roll with Saunders, so I would need to see some impact in preseason to give him one of the 53. We know Jones, Wharton and Nnadi are locks IMO.

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Are we actually sure Nnadi is a lock? He was pretty bad last year AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team is showcasing a guy for trade or release they get more than 6 snaps in the first preseason game. That's also why we know Pacheco is in for good snaps this year after barely playing in game 1. Pacheco was 2nd up in RB snaps this week after getting 3rd or 4th snaps the last few.

robgar 1,046 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I am really interested in how shelton works in with jones.. damn thats a lot of very powerfull beef.. 60 tackles as a defensive lineman who was asked mostly to eat up blockers and free space for linebackers is pretty decent work. I can sure tell you this.. you cant double team em both.. and things arent gonna go well if you try to block one of em 1 on 1..

robgar 1,046 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 also shelton gives us a true 3-4 front nose tackle.. which is interesting as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgar 1,046 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 even in a 2 - 5 look.. with nnadi, and shelton.. might be interesting.. gives us some interesting options.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see Shelton and Jones occupying the interior O=line and letting Chennal and Gay shooting through the gaps. Even an average pass rush would be a huge improvement.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think most of us assume they keep 4 DTs and 6 DEs like last year. The guys the seem to have a shot are: DTs - Jones, Wharton, Nnadi, Shelton, Stallworth, Saunders DEs - Karl, Dunlap, Clark, Danna, Herring, Kaindoh I think the it is possible to keep 5 and 5 if the DT group looks deeper than the DEs. I would keep the winner of Herring or Kaindoh or Kamara, but only one of those guys. They don't seem to bring much. The DTs just bring more to the table. And with the injury history of Saunders, I think it will end up Jones, Wharton, Nnadi, Shelton, Stallworth. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Dunlap, Shelton, Jones, Karl are a lot of strength on that line together. I can't wait to see that. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders made some plays against the Bears, but then so did Stallworth. Good to have some line competition. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharton is a guy we need to keep. When Given the chance to play he seems to make plays. In my opinion he is like Obgah the guy Miami signed from us. Some might disagree with me but that’s fine. I love me some Wharton. get that guy some snaps Reid ! AFCWEST and DieHard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
