Feely went 11-15 on field goals Monday and 13 of 15 today but that wasn't as good as either Connor Barth (28 of 30, including a perfect 15 of 15 today) or Nick Novak (27 of 30). Barth and Novak will kick for the job in Thursday night's game against the Rams at Arrowhead Stadium. Much more to come, including some interesting comments from Feely's agent, in Wednesday's Kansas City Star The Chiefs released veteran kicker Jay Feely today, one day after signing him.

He's too slow, imo. He's strong, which is one of his only pro's, against a sea full of cons. Slow footwork, sloppy technique, doesn't seem to be picking up on blitzes and what-not very well, at least to me. We are going to start instituting zone blocking, that would surely help him out, if and only if he played the right side, and was alongside Herbie. If they are adamant about him playing in the LT spot as a back-up, then his days are numbered as far as I'm concerned, because he just can't hack it there. I had hoped he'd blossom into our starting RT this year, but now I find myself rooting for Big Barry, and wanting Svitek to go play for the Raiders. And for the record, I'd take Svitek over Black any day of the week. If Svitek ever gets his shit together he'll be a solid starter, Black was just.. well Black was just like Welbourn and Turley, as in, couldn't block an eight year old girl with spinal menengitis, with two amputee'd legs, who was also a little person, and who 'ran' a 947.8 second 40-time.

Jordan Black sucked worse than a Cat 5 Hurricane on a line with three pro bowlers... how much worse than Svitek would he be on the current line?
