onejayhawk Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Some good news, the team is saying that Kemp will be on the week#1 roster. Some paperwork shuffling is required.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/9/1/22652900/chiefs-say-marcus-kemp-will-be-on-week-1-roster-what-will-be-the-corresponding-move Tyrann Mathieu is going to COVID list. No word yet on how long.https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/09/01/kansas-city-chiefs-tyrann-mathieu-covid-19-list/ Edited September 1, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody knew something then maybe? I didn't catch that but I would be very surprised if anyone knew. There's be some hefty fines/suspensions handed out of so. I suppose he maybe wasn't feeling 100% and had a suspicion 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) We now have the reason that they kept six LB. Willie Gay will miss at least three weeks with turf toe. How the snaps come down will be interesting. Bolton may get thrown into the fire or they may go with Niemann or Darius Harris. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/09/02/kansas-city-chiefs-willie-gay-jr-injured-reserve-list/ It's too bad they had to wait until after cuts to make the move, but if Gay had been put on IR any earlier, he would be out the whole season. More than ay offseason in memory, roster day was chaotic. Chris Lammons was told he was cut and had left the building. It sounds like a lot of the cuts went down to the wire. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/9/2/22654256/chiefs-final-cutdown-reveals-a-team-that-is-loaded-with-young-talent Here is a look at the options without Wille Gay. The author is as confused as anyone. The base three is clearly Anthony Hitchens, Ben Niemann, Nick Bolton. Dime is just Niemann. Pairing on the sub packages is open to question. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/even_without_willie_gay_jr_the_chiefs_have_a_ton_of_linebackers_to_work_with/s1_16631_35774768 Edited September 3, 2021 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Good catch. The depth charts are done by FO types, not the coaching staff, so they tend to be a bit behind. It's nice to that they have finally entered this decade. Note that DRob is still in the WR mix. There is another article on our TEs. I'll post in the general offense thread.

A front four of Clark/Nnadi/Reed/Danna can do exactly that and still have pressure. Clark was limited in practice. we may see a lot of Danna.
