Since this is close to OT time let this double as the OT for tonight.
can’t put over how I love the Tranquil signing
Should help a lot in our dime packages. I love how versatile our lb group is now. We’ve got thumping run stoppers and athletic coverage guys too.
Hopefully he’s like a huge guy named tiny and he doesn’t play with tranquility.
wow
a lot of understanding the Chiefs strategy is getting rolled out tonight
I haven’t looked t the numbers, but Chiefs had tons of sacks.pressures on blitzes
Mike Edwards meh, JAG. Dru Tranquil was one of my most underrated free agents available. I want numbers, but he was more talented than many LB’s who got big deals. Again, devil is in the details, but at this stage of FA, KC got a very good player who shouldn’t cost much
what is tranquill’s role and how do the Linebackers stack out position wise?
elite! Gay, Bolton , Tranquil can all run, cover, hit, blitz. The conventional wisdom is the DL sets the tone on defense. But when you have 3 LB’s who can do it all, it gives you unbelievable flexibility with what you can do
I remember an elte LB corp
in 1967
68…69…70…
spell Gay and Bolton?
I’ll probably put it in a post for next week, but I went through a couple games of Tranquill and I agree. I don’t think he’s a future HOFer or anything, but he wore the dot for the Chargers last year and did well. Unless he specifically wanted to come to the Chiefs or something I’m shocked that he couldn’t get a starter-level contract somewhere.
I recall him standing out several time when we played LAC
Yeah, I watched the playoff game vs. Jacksonville (I wanted his most recent game since he’s a later bloomer) and the 2nd game against the Chiefs (to see how he’d do against an elite offense with an all-time great Tight End) and, while he wasn’t perfect, both quarterbacks noticeably avoided him for the most part.
Just saw this per rotoworld
Chiefs signed LB Drue Tranquill, formerly of the Chargers, to a one-year contract.
so is it Will is Gay
Mike is Bolton
Tranquill is Sam?
pr Gay is Sam and Tranquill is Will?
dammit
Jones does not fit in a 3-4 D
sez who
think of a hybrid situation
that would be so hard to plan against
the Chiefs D would be outlawed
that would be so hard to plan against
isn’t that kind of the point? 😉
what if Spags adds Leo and they run a 3-4?
who is running this team?
Veach?
Reid
are you sure?
Veach came with Reid
Maybe the brains are shared?
Vulcan mind meld
I like it!
I recall when we first brought Andy to the team, Clark Hunt and Andy Reid made it clear that the control of the team was a collective effort from the coaches and front office. Dorsey was ousted because he cut Maclin without first notifying Andy if I recall.
something was said
Veach met with Clark and talked about FA being an important part of talent aquisition
this was a few years ago now
Veach got Clark and Badger
sounds like he could replace a secondary guy in some of the traditional schemes.
well we just grabbed a safety that could cause or Dime safety to change
watching some of his ”film”, he is a very good inside blitzer
so he would be a spur or star on passing downs?
Mostly A/B gap inside blitzes. Haven’t seen much on the outside
Bolton and Gay definitely need a rotation player
we had neither
players may be waiting for cap to go up, new broadcast deals and all…..
it is coming in 2025
dogs are busy tonight
woof woof
I love March!!!!
history tonight
not good history when you graduated from Purdue!
damn
sorry man
not a mizzou grad but a fan for my lifetime
we can commiserate?
that was the first purdue game I’ve watched much of this year, and my first thought was that they suck. They played the other teams game rather than their own. They truly deserved to lose, and they did.
just saying their coach is awesome till it comes to the tourney
something is wrong it seems
At the start of the year, they were supposed to be middle of the pack, and overachieved. looks like it was a flash in the pan. Their talent wasn’t as high as their rating justified.
Marty?
similar
Sounds like Norm Stewart. Great until he got to the big dance
he ran into some tough teams
the twin towers of Houston
UCLA
Edny
Not really.
UVA lost as a #1 to a 16. They were the first. Good news for Purdue. UVA won it all the next year.
I’ve been waiting on these. Thanks!
Damn is Purdue going to lose as a 1 seed?
oh my, that’s gonna change some things, and already the count is going down down down …
No. 11 Pitt and No. 6 Creighton advanced to the second round and also brought us to only 30 perfect brackets after 23 games.
Pitt’s upset of No. 6 Iowa State took the total from 179 to 71, while Creighton’s victory vs. No. 11 NC State lowered the number to 30 across the major online games.
Here’s the current counter:
Fairleigh Dickerson?
huge 3 pointer
61-56
Go FD!
seems silly to me people are praying for their team to win a game….
uh huh … fans NEVER do that
this is close to Purdue needs OT
wow
FDU had to win a play in to get here
Upset Weekend!
I am happy to see this!
ditto!
now just need Mizzou to win tomorrow 🙂
sweetness
lovin’ it
seriously there is not a 5 point play in 1.2 seconds
there is no perfect brackets now!!!!!!
really? that was it, huh?
1 in 9 Quintillion didn’t last very long this year
who selected that round coreectly
FDU got out to an early lead and took down Texas Southern 84-61 in the First Four of the 2023 NCAA tournament.
The SEC is dominating this tournament so far
I did a mock this morning
7. Dawand Jones | Ohio State | 6’8”, 374 lbs2022 Stats: GP 12.Wilbar’s Grade: Late 2ndJeremy: Talk about a BIG tackle prospect! Jones is a mammoth individual that just mauls defenders in both phases. If he can get into position quick enough that is. You obviously have concerns over a guy that large being able to athletically keep up with the demands of playing Tackle at the next level, especially versus, say the Uber athletic Myles Garrett’s of the world. One thing that won’t be in question is whether or not he can overpower the opposition if he gets his hands on them. Jones is the perfect road grader RT prospect for teams wanting a powerful people mover in the run game. If Jones can improve his footwork at the next level, he’s got the size profile to be a stud.

We pick @ #31, not#7
he is the 7th ranked tackle
should be available at 31
I’ll allow it
374 fuckin pounds
he is 6’8
he is a lean mean blocking machine
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg dude
Photo from when he was 17
as Bernie Sanders might say: he’s YUUUUUUUUGE!
I don’t think that’s Bernie’s tag line
you don’t?

I really do not see any glaring holes except for WR now
and as stated today Kelce is WR #1 on the Chiefs….
DL is undermanned, it seems.
undermanned is what the draft is for:)
Yup
a number of huys that could be very good Nose tackles and even some depth for Chris Jones
6. KARL BROOKS, BOWLING GREEN (RS SENIOR | 6-4, 300)
Brooks is in the tweener category. He’s not quite stout enough to be an every-down defensive tackle and not quite long nor explosive enough to stay on the edge, where he played for Bowling Green. Still, the quicks he plays with for a 300-pounder is something I’m willing to bet on — especially when it translated to the football field for an 89.6 run-defense grade and a 94.8 pass-rushing grade in 2022.
Too small for DT
3 tech behind Jones
Chris Jones Stats, News, Bio | ESPN
HT/WT. 6′ 6″, 310 lbs
Also the public works director of harrisonville
Who is playing RT?
The draft is full of great prospects that can play RT
They’re not on our roster though 🙂
soon, Chiefsmas is coming to Kansas City
Who’s the center
Chiefs have 12 million in cap available
I have no idea if the two new signings are baked in yet or not
I don’t think so
wish Tranquill was for more than 1 yr, so it goes … good bargain (I think) for a year and maybe offsets some of the things Clark did … shores up the Defense (along with the new S) esp on passing downs (wondering if Spags may go to more of a 3-4 than a 4-3 and STILL be able to dial up pressures & sacks)
Jeebus Iowa State
it is hard enough to win a NCAA game
but spotting your opponent a 22-2 lead in a basketball game is suicide
Some guy named Jones on ISU was pissed Obama picked them to lose. Then put up a nothing burger.
The Chicago River has gone green for St. Patrick’s Day.
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Here’s one for you – What’s Irish and sits outside all day and night?

I wish I could + this 10 times 🤣
This must be this evening’s open thread, and so, in lieu of the traditional one:
Where the mountains of Mourne
Come down to the sea
Will she no come back to me?
Will she no come back to me?
My Róisín Dubh is my one and only true love
This song is a medley of three traditional Irish songs (with an American song mixed in), and seemed appropriate on this holiday that celebrates the Emerald Isle.
prob my favorite album that’s not Zep or Floyd
must check ’em out
been partial to Blackmore’s Night for years …
not bad
Seems like the Chiefs are filling out the roster with some pretty solid FA additions.
everyone is chasing rings 🙂
ok, now that’s just wrong on so many levels …
