MisChief-Maker 135 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Matt Derrick @mattderrick 4h4 hours agoMore #Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he plans to play a lot of younger players this week vs. #Broncos. That includes Parker Ehinger, who I'm told the team plans to start at right guard in place of veteran Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. So let's do the maths yall. Ehinger at guard, Eligwe at inside linebacker, Kpass rushing, Nunez at defensive end, Erving at tackle? Devey at guard? Mcquay at safety? Justin Hamilton at tackle? Chesson as one of the receivers? It's gonna be interesting to see who sinks or swims. So which veterans would you play? I'd play Johnson alongside Eligwe, I'd play Robinson, DAT and Chesson as the receivers. And of course, Harris and Charles as the Tight ends. West and Akeem Hunt can deal with the running back roles aswell. Parker can partner Mcquay at safety with Mitchell, Revis and Nelson as the Cb's. I'd play Revis because having spent a year out the game I think the more reps he gets, the better. The O-line is gonna be interesting as Reid was uncertain as to whether Schwartz plays or not. I suspect Fisher will not certainly be rested along with LDT. Will Fulton be aswell? Who knows. Mahomes is gonna need some protection out there though so Andy better think very carefully about it.

moons314 2,463 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I don’t like resting linemen. Denver has a good defense and pass rush , and you want to throw your rookie qb out there with backup linemen? I do think Mahomes is going to do some good things with Robinson.

KCSLC2008 606 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 This wouldn't happen, but I'll be flipping mad if they put Houston, Hali, and/or DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisChief-Maker 135 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 This wouldn't happen, but I'll be flipping mad if they put Houston, Hali, and/or DJ. I'd play Johnson alongside Eligwe for a least the first half. Ragland is way more important to us now imo and shouldn't play a single snap.

PhataLerror 370 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Erving at tackle? Devey at guard? ... It's gonna be interesting to see who sinks or swims... Mahomes is gonna need some protection out there though so Andy better think very carefully about it. Erving and Devey are playing for their NFL careers. Maybe that will result in better pass protection. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palangi 788 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm excited to see eligwe. I think (hope) he can be the DJ replacement. I'd like too see Atkinson called up from the PS to play RB. At 6'1" 220 he is big and had 4.3 speed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m good with Mahomes having to try and maneuver with backup skill position players. But you can’t throw a hodgepodge of backup olinemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Oline is one place I would keep most of the starters. Let Ehinger play for Witz, but that’s about it. They can use every snap they can get and there is no sense getting Mahomes killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 well akeem hunt is dealing with a shoulder injury. IR him and bring up Atkinson If Hunt is a serious question mark to play in two weeks, this could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Also keep in mind Andy is at his best after the bye week (this year aside when offense laid the biggest turd we’ve seen in this era). His game plan at Indy last time this happened was damn good and only got derailed by injuries. If I’m him I’m already cheating and looking at Baltimore and s little at Tennessee.

sith13 1,746 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I expect to see some solid linemen on the field as it doesn't make sense to risk Mahomes' progression behind a terrible OL. Also would be nice to see what he can do pretty much with what Chiefs will have at OL next year. However I expect any players with any sort of injury sitting out.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hard not to be excited about a kid this organization seems to like even more today than it did last April. Agree this isn’t any type of dress rehearsal at all. It’s just an attempt to get him valuable experience “Chiefs believe they have something special in Mahomes.” http://a3.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2017%2F1227%2Fdm_171227_NFL_mahomes_adam_schefter%2Fdm_171227_NFL_mahomes_adam_schefter.jpg&w=943&h=530&cquality=80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
