58shineson 318 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah not real happy with releasing Succop. I guess we will see what happens. The first time Santos misses a field goal all hell will break loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time Santos misses a field goal all hell will break loose. Shouldn't, average miss for nfl kickers is bout 3 per year. Succop was on the 6 per year train. I think it could get no worse. Santos may take some lumps but Succop was getting too much money to still be performing like he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Wow. It took some stones to cut Succup and Nico Johnson. I am impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Chiefs will make more cuts. No one at the bottom of the roster should feel secure. They are not going to keep 5 running backs on the team the entire year. I would count on KC trading Gray to another team within a few weeks. Somebody has to go when Bowe returns. Someone else will have to be let go when Stephenson returns three weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kychief 239 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 look at the TE position.. keeping 4!... wonder if that means smith will be here long term..thats his game..he'll use em; like a muther!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kychief 239 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 yea probably so.. harris has lots of promise but looked so so in preseason due in part to some bad passes thrown his way.. right now gorden looks more polished but has no where near the ceiling...

kychief 239 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 don't know McCray...traded a guy for a guy in position of need.. and I thought Bronson was a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get it. He has basketball hands. And he's 6-7. Once the routes and moves are second nature, he will have the brain space to look that ball into his hands. Still, Kelce is going to be a fixture and one of the best. Harris might end up as a straight up trade for a really good young player at a position of need.

MAUI 4,758 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 To me, if they keep 4 TEs it means their OL sucks.., And probably their WRs.., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 To me, if they keep 4 TEs it means their OL sucks.., And probably their WRs.., Yes, and Harris is not much of a blocker either. So, it made sense to keep Gordon, who weighs 268 lbs, and will be a blocking TE. The Chiefs will have to cut someone when Bowe returns, and it may not be Gordon. They will have to cut another player when Stephenson returns. My guess is they will keep Gordon until they either have acquired another OL, or when Stephenson returns to the team.

Not sure where you got that?? Sure it will be a shame if he misses. He's a rookie, and he will probably miss some. We already had that with big salary 5 year vet. You forget the Charger game? Succop, great guy, you bet!! But, for his salary he was not performing at the level of even the middle of the road kickers were. Yep Eraser, The TE's or RB's will be cut targets once the bad kids come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a shame when santos misses an easy one to lose a game. you mean like Succup did vs San Diego? Cutting Nico Johnson..man o man I'm not sure how to take it. On the positive side it is nice to see a regime admit that they fucked up and not hold on to a player just because they drafted him..on the other hand they drafted him and that is a draft pick that the Chiefs do not have the luxury of wasting.

I hated hearing that we had a 11-5 record over a 12-4 record. Then, they'd say that Smith led us to a 11-5 record. Either don't give the credit to Smith as in "led" or say 11-4. 12-4, I wouldn't be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ot. Dorsey has said he will not be emotionally attached to players. They need to go so be it. Now whether he is doing a good job is yet to be determined. Season 4 and 5 will paint a better picture. Hopefully they won't be on the coach gm hunt again at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo 92 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yes he WAS. BTW: Jan Stenerud made a miss or two. As did Nick Lowery. Both had key playoff misses versus MIA, ironically. Kickers do miss now and then. Succop's miss versus SD cost KC nothing, but a meaningless regular season win. Santos better be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcchief4lif 910 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 BTW: Jan Stenerud made a miss or two. As did Nick Lowery. Both had key playoff misses versus MIA, ironically. Kickers do miss now and then. Succop's miss versus SD cost KC nothing, but a meaningless regular season win. Santos better be good. I understand that. Really, I didn't care 1 way or the other. Just had a feeling he was on a short leash based on his salary and below avg performance. If they can pay a guy lower wage and get the same or better results. Go for it. i have to say though, for him being the most consistent kicker in chiefs history I never felt more uncomfortable for a kicker as much as I did when he came up. But that's just me.
