EMAW_KSU Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Lonnie Johnson Jr. It as well according to NFL.com. I know some people on here were pulling for that. Probably as much giving him a chance to catch on elsewhere as anything else after one game. It says something that Shelton makes 92 look like a house when the last guy I really think of wearing it wasn’t tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can waddle out to the middle of the line and not move then we did ok lol A lot of folks are saying he's washed though so I guess we'll see.

onejayhawk Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 I had Lonnie Johnson penciled in as the CB3 for a long time. The competition has been brutal. Danny Shelton is exactly what our 3-4 DL coach did not have--a true 0 tech. Karlaftis, Jones, and Clark all make very suitable 3-4 DE. I suspect that Chenal will be getting a fair amount of work as an edge rusher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but his DL coach, Joe Cullen, is from a 3-4 background. DS would let him pull in some more of those concepts. Either way, Shelton's a beast in short yardage and GL situations. In any event he seems to like it here and Spags likes the fact that he demands double teams. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/8/16/23308470/two-days-in-chiefs-danny-shelton-feels-at-home-in-kansas-city-training-camp-notebook Edited August 17, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 The roster was trimmed to 82 with no one of name departing. Two more coming today. The big cuts will be next week.https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/chiefs_roster_cutdown_tracker_kc_trims_down_from_85/s1_16631_37799859 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Per roto: Chiefs placed RB Derrick Gore (thumb) on injured reserve. The designation will end Gore's season (with the Chiefs, at least) before it begins. Gore had a couple of 40-plus yard games in 2021, adding two rushing touchdowns, but the Chiefs buried him on the depth chart by signing Ronald Jones and re-signing Jerrick McKinnon. His absence unclouds the picture at running back for the Chiefs a bit. 28 in December, Gore is no lock to remain on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) The other move was to formally put Lucas Niang on PUP. That means he has to sit at least four weeks. Here is the list from 90-85: CB Lonnie Johnson WR Gary Jennings WR Omar Bayless OL Evin Ksiezarczyk DL Austin Edwards WR Devin Gray Signed: DT Danny Shelton 85-80: CB Brandin Dandridge DB Nasir Greer OL David Steinmetz OL Lucas Niang to PUP RB Derrick Gore to IR Late addition. Blake Bell underwent surgery for a hip condition. His timetable is not known but starting on PUP or moving to IR the day after the 53 man roster becomes official are both possible avenues. It does not appear he will miss the whole season.https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/chiefs_te_blake_bell_undergoes_hip_procedure/s1_17049_37802973 Edited August 24, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Blake Bell stepped really awkwardly on his td grab against the Bears, I wonder if that's when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate. I like the aspect the “Belldozer” can bring, but I’d rather have Fortson and obviously KillaTrav. 87/88/83 isn’t terrible but leaves a little in the blocking aspect.

Is this Like a career ending injury and we’re just holding out hope? I apparently missed where they said what is actually wrong with his knee.

Just the advance of time confirming that he would not be ready for the first few games. The move saves them a roster cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the thoughts about Franks and Bushman who are rostered for their blocking more than their receiving value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
