I actually think tynes (“leftovers” great line!) will only be there for the competition with the Giants kicker already on the roster. Don’t remember his name. I don’t think Tynes will beat out this other kid, but I do think he is talented enough to be picked up somewhere assumming he doesn’t make roster with Giants. By wk 4 of preseason, he’ll be somewhere else. I was a fan of his. OK, missed FG against Indy. Playoff experience and youth. This kid will grow and probably be a better player for the experience. How much better is Dallas’ QB for muffing a snap? Time will tell. He did hit some long ones and brought some huge roars to arrowhead (in my case, my living room). I wish him luck. Memory a little vague here but thought I heard somewhere he was back up QB in college….For all we know HE WILL be in Miami!!!! LOL

1. Jared Allen needs to look at whats being built in KC and this defense its going to be something special (not yet there but…). He has an opportunity to be part of that. Too much going on in the player conduct arena for him to make any further mistakes OR demands. Do your job and everything will fall in place. If he doesn’t grow up quickly, he will impact his time on the field and ultimately his role on the team. Compensation will come if he stays out from behind a wheel and is productive.

2. The Chiefs cannot afford to carry $7 mil on the payroll. Carl, get the Trent Green deal done. Any way you slice it, be it a first or 7th round pick even with compensation, will not hit the bottom line as heavily as a millionaire riding the pine. Use that money to set up a trade with Steelers for Faneca and shore up that offensive line (including depth)!!! Trent has been good to the Chiefs and everyone wins if a trade gets done. This is now formally a distraction as OTA’s progress and camp is coming!
3. Finally, I’m not a Carl fan. Mediocrity over the years hasn’t resulted in championships or rings. Certainly no Lombardi Trophy. AND the Lamar Hunt Trophy hasn’t been home in far too long. In fact the rest of the division has seen it at least twice since the chiefs….If the Edwards era doesn’t produce something within the next year or two (e.g. Give Brodie a shot to build something around), then Herm and Carl should be both be fired. I’m ok with the transition for now but so far all I am hearing is complaining by this team about money and not a whole lot of “we’re in this together.” Where are the vetrans sound bites???? What happened to last years sound bite about it being a “priveledge” to play in the NFL?

*wondering if the Hunt family checks in here*
