gballs 3 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Chiefs signed OG Jeff Allen. Allen spent the first four seasons of his career in Kansas City before leaving for Houston and a big-money deal. That move did not work out, and Allen was released with an injury settlement in July. He is apparently healthy now, however, and could quickly earn a starting spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIChiefsFan 262 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't think he has a lot of speed but with his size he should be able to tackle better than the safeties we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Why? I would rather Wylie play RG. Why bring a guy in that was cut and nobody wanted? Develop threw youth. Wylie has looked good when given the opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop threw youth. Wylie has looked good when given the opportunity We need depth. Morse is our probably a couple games and LDT is done for a while. Who plays if Devey or Wylie get hurt? If he plays well enough to start so be it. I think it’s just a depth signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Reiter and devey can play center. Wylie and devey can play guard. Hell let the rookie McKenzie get in. A washed up vet isn't going to do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANATIC 852 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 28 years old is not old. Injury settlement with Houston. Played well in KC. Knows the system somewhat. Reid knows him. Good pick up if healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomahawkChop 255 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't see this announced anywhere. Is this information accurate? I like it if true. Solid depth guy who knows the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 He got cut because of injury and money. he signed as a free agent for a lot of money and had an injury. If he's fully healthy, he will add quality depth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 For depth, I think bringing him back is a solid addition. He did well for us right before he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,426 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Veach has to keep tinkering with this team. Injuries and lack of depth are the biggest issues this team faces. Some would say its the defense but we had a solid pass rush until Houston got hurt. Once he comes back and get it going again that makes the back end not so vulnerable.

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yeah I like the addition. Normally I wouldn't mind giving McKenzie some run but not with the future back there playing qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Develop threw youth. Wylie has looked good when given the opportunity Not sure if a depth or starting rotation move. Regardless we definitely shouldn't mess around with the OL depth and spending the roster spot from LDT on another OL is the smart move. He could be the 3rd guy behind Wylie and McKenzie for all I care. IMO they like McKenzie and kept him in 53 to stop others from grabbing him but might not be trusting him with a role on the field as he's still a developmental guy.

dksww 484 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Jeff Allen won't immediately start, he's just going to provide depth. Devey and Wylie will start and played pretty well against the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,663 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think Devey and Wylie should handle Suh and Aaron Donald pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen had a handful of starts at right and left tackle but played almost exlusively at guard and his last season here was quite good (PFF top 20 guard). He never played center though.

gochiefsgo 380 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 He can play both center and guard. That’s why he’s back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
