You must have read my mind, but I am suprised you didn’t mention Savage. In the games I saw him return kicks he got more positive yards than any other returner, even Charles! I KNOW DJ would start in Pittsburgh, Baltimore or pretty much ANY team in the league. He may not get the sacks DT did, but he covers like Donnie MOST of the time. He needs help. I saw make some really good plays the few times he was in. Wasn’t he hurt a lot this year. Not sure what jinx Herm has that his players start dropping like fly’s. I disagree about Flowers and Carr though. I also might throw Leggitt in this one as well. They played VERY well for rookies. Maybe they didn’t get 10 INT’s and maybe they gave up a few big plays, but the few times the front seven actually put some pressure on the Offense, like they did most of the game here in San Diego, it makes it easier for them to cover guys. Next year should be Flowers and Carr’s break out years, barring an injury of course. These guys are human you know.

As for the chiefs and players starting on other teams, you know over the years i’ve seen WAY too many chiefs players leave and become successful elsewhere. Look at the Vikings yesterday for example, Jared Allen Benny Sapp and even fricken Napolean Harris all starting and pretty much all making plays. Think back to what happened with Rich Gannon, or Joe Horn you never really know with a lot of the players sometimes they need a new scene or a new system. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if LJ had huge success somewhere else, if Derrick Johnson left and became a pro bowler, we already know Tony G and Dwayne Bowe would start for pretty much anyone, Albert could prob get the nod as well. As far as the defense i would say Dorsey possibly but depending on the defense he would prob backup a vet, same said for either of the Brandon corners, i still think DJ would start on a lot of teams, Tamba maybe would have a starting job depending on situation everyone else id pretty much say is a no go.

I would rather get it right than get it done fast…I know it can be both, but better to take your time in these things…

There isn’t a single paid football commentator that thinks we are going about this in the wrong way, not in the slightest…In fact, its the opposite…All I have been reading the past few days from Florio and others is that other teams should be watching the way Clark is running this search and emulate it…Also the deliberately tight-lipped Clark is actually giving Pioli another reason he should come here…cuz we arent a cheap-suit business like the Browns apparently are…We are loyal and professional…

“Intensity, passion for the game, the conviction to be the best they can be,” DeCosta believes. “Intelligence is critical, and so is honesty. I want a guy to tell me the truth, to look me in the eye and give a sense that he’ll rip someone’s head off to win a game.”

Rip someone’s head off to win a game, perfect. We need an intensity infusion.
