Chiefs *****The Xavier Worthy Thread***** - Page 68

Welp, keeping in touch with Hardman may make a lot more sense if what James Palmer has said is true. Chiefs are apparently expecting Rice to get at least a half season suspension. That leaves Toney, Moore, and Watson as the only WRs well versed in the playbook.

He's a RB.

And it looks like McKinnon is gone, and they didn't draft anybody, so I think he has a decent shot. I think Bailey wins the RB3 role though as it stands right now.

He's not going to be a RB. He's not built for it.

I feel like they go WR in the 4th if they thought that were the case.

Cheap trade up for Walker or stay put and take Gould, Thrash or Malik Washington at 133. Or Rice at 211. Maybe Isaiah Williams at 248.

Just feel like they'd have done a little more.

Maybe they're eyeing Boyd or somebody?

That would make me feel a lot better if it is in fact 8 games.

Could just be that we use more TEs, Ss and LBers on the coverage units.

The new return format favors linebacker/TE type builds and not WR gunners for coverage. I'm not sure how important WRs are in special teams now.

LRZ will be our kickoff return guy and emergency backup at RB and punt returner. Maybe slot receiver, but I kinda doubt that one.

Yea, he's not going to be RB3 or anything, but maybe he gets a roster spot as a STs, and RB4, that can play some WR.

I know they list him as a RB, but everything about him screams receiver to me. 6’3” 195 lbs. and 4.4 speed just seems weird for a RB. But hell, what do I know?

Good point.

Someone mentioned the lack of STs contributions from our WR group - that could be one way to make it up from another position.

Fellas, we don't do this stuff better than Texas does. Their facilities are unreal.

Kid did a Q&A today and said he ate Chik fil A before every game. Yeah I’m inclined to think he didn’t take nutrition seriously in college.

Get that man some protein shakes and a diet plan to put 10 lbs on him

Huh? with his speed 6'2 190 works all day

He obviously needs serious time to refine his NFL game, but if Andy and Bretts vision comes true this guy genuinely breaks out two years from now
