liquidfriend 1,151 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Chiefs are too heavy at LB and the secondary. DL is too thin IMO Fanaika making the final roster is a total joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Avant is a waste. Bowe 2.0 to the second power Nah I never wanted them to release Avant. He's smarter than Bowe and accustomed to Reid's offense so it's a safe bet keeping this guy. He'll make plays when needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCSLC2008 606 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Avant is a waste. Bowe 2.0 to the second power As far as taking up a spot on the 53, ok, I can see your view. But for cost and role, I'm glad we kept him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Paul Fanaika would have cost the Chiefs $366,667 against the Chiefs' cap this year had he been cut. I didn't see enough out of him to indicate he was worth retaining. I would have kept Pughsley, and cut Fanaika, but Dorsey saw it differently. The whole Catapano situation bewilders me. Here you have a 264 lb man, who starts out at OLB, but almost immediately gets switched to DE. He does alright, but gets pushed around. The next year Catapano looks rhoided up. He is close to 300 lbs, and looks like a bull. The next thing you know he has a strange illness, and is out for the year. We later heard he had a concussion, but there was no indication of this happening at the time. It was about a month later, that we learned he had a concussion even though he didn't practice in preseason due to illness. Then this year, Catapano is back up in weight, and looks great. The next thing you know he is cut from the team. I find this to be strange. Something just doesn't smell right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysChiefs 82 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I was surprised Kush was cut. Started training camp as starting center, gets beat out of starting spot by a rookie, and ends up not even making the team. When we let Hudson walk, who would have expected this? Hate to see Williams cut. He was great in pre-season. Hammond looked good, too, though. Chiefs finally gave up on Sander Commings. He had his chances. Too bad about Catapano, too. Cool getting a draft pick for McCray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool getting a draft pick for McCray... Maybe when we lost Hudson we didn't see a rookie winning the job, but maybe we (Reid/Dorsey) saw somebody beating Kush, whether that be the now number 2 (Fulton?) or rookie/FA? Kush holding them off might have been a pleasant surprise if he had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The biggest surprise to me was seeing Frankie Hammond keep his job. Even then, I think he might be Player #53. He needs to step up immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Don't the Chiefs have to cut someone when Smith becomes eligible in week four? If so, who's on the bubble? Also, I was surprised that with all the back up talent on the roster, eight rookies made the team. Peters, Morse, and Wilson should all get mucho playing time and Conley will get a few looks. Don't see much help from the others at this time. Maybe O'Shaunessy gets a few snaps in two and three TE sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gochiefsgo 380 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 When all is said and done I think Catapano getting cut is the biggest surprise because it leaves the Chiefs perilously thin on the defensive line and removes a pass rusher from that group who actually gets pressures occasionally. It also makes me think that the Chiefs aren't done at all and this 53 man roster isn't the one we will see next week at Houston. I expect a defensive line signing soon and another trade probably to deal someone else from the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most sacks, but pressure and hits are good for us, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well we will soon find out if other NFL Teams think some of these guys are ready & worthy of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Remember folks there were a lot of other cuts out there that the Chiefs may be targeting, if I am not mistaken aftere these guys clear waivers they could always get picked back up for the practice squad.

eraser 722 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Reid indicated Catapano did well against the twos, but not so well against starters. No one has picked him up as of yet. The Chiefs could still put him on their practice team. It looks as if he is having some residual problems recovering from his year off illness. Also, does well in rush situations, but not against the run. Nick Williams beat Catapano out. Williams is better against the run, and can play NT.
