WR Byron Pringle is playing really well

Wait, why is Watkins not out there?

Good.

Personal reasons.

I saw it was his daughters birthday, so probably something to do with that.

He sure looked good in preseason last year.

So did Corey Mays

Probably skinned his elbow, out until week 4.

Originally the plan was that he would be at her party right after practice finished, but then she said, "Mommy never misses my birthday because of work" and that hurt his feelings.

He's out 4-6 weeks.

Didn’t feel it in his spirits

ROFL
LMAO

Cody Thompson is going to make the team and play some snaps IMO.

Also think this Lovett guy could be a decent complimentary weapon at TE.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I called QB-to-TE convert John Lovett a dark horse to watch at No. 2 tight end, and the day-six workout only reaffirmed it (remember, they&#39;re not in pads, but Lovett made a few tough catches Thursday).

Ever since Jesse Haynes, I have stopped caring about who the preseason star is. Because pretty much none of them ever did shit on the field in the regular season.

Jack Fox can eat 10 donkey dicks, no way he beats Dustin "MVP" Colquitt.

Jack "the sly" Fox is taking the **** OVER in 2019! It's time for "MVP" to hang it the **** UP already. The guy was drafted by Herm for ****'s sake!

Go play Frisbee with Damon Huard already.

This. All these guys who are showing out right now, will end up doing nothing.

Samie Parker was the one for me

To the mother ****ing champion ship!!!!!

Except for Sly Fox cuz he GOT this!

Camp reports are trash but this guy was fighting for a roster spot and showed out last pre season. I think hes a sleeper. I also think DeMarcus Robinson can be a good #2. Hopefully Hill is innocent regardless I dont buy that were ****ed without him.

Good to hear. He was impressive at K-State. Looked really good in preseason last year. The more talent the better. Camp fodder or not...

Wrong-o. Colquitt was drafted by DV.

Around the third week in August the wide receivers coach will be calling him into his office and saying bring your bags with you, and don't look back and it will only make things worse.

I can see that coming a mile away.

We got a problem

Second round bust, gotta blame Veach he's the fall guy.

Might as well trade Mahomes and get something out of him. He won't stay here without talent around him anyway.

Rebuilding year.

Case of out of date pork & beans trade baiting

He's coming. The heart attack is coming.

I’m ashamed to admit that I can literally eat an entire can in one sitting.

Isn’t that what you are supposed to do?

:facepalm:

You’re so ****ing stupid

They stashed him on IR for a reason. He will almost certainly make the team.

And you must tilt the near empty can to your mouth to capture the last of the Pringle’s shrapnel before resealing the empty shell casing.

Anybody remember Pringle’s Old-fashioned Restaurant in Cameron, MO? Great salad bar.

Pringle has a spot unless he is just terrible.

There honestly aren't very many spots open on the team so should be some interesting battles for those handful of spots.

because he sucks

/thread

you don't know that. And besides Mahomes can make shitty receivers like Albert Wilson look like gods.

Based on what?

You’re just assuming he sucks. That’s just as stupid as assuming he’s going to be good even if he’s a former UDFA. He flashed in the preseason and the staff clearly liked what they saw.

I really see no reason why he couldn't be at least as good as Conley was...they have 2 WR spots open I'd rather this guy get one than dudes like Kemp and Dieter.

That is the correct procedure, yes. It would then be permissible to squeeze said sealed can as tightly as possible until the lid would come flying off......along with any remaining shrapnel pieces.

They’ll find and spot for Lovett too. He’s versatile

Probably TE 3, all those other dudes battling for the 2 spot, I also did like how John Phillips was on the team for 5 minutes.

It's very early, but you don't hear a ton of praise for Hardman as a receiver. I could see most of his contribution this year on jet sweeps and as a returner.

He’s intriguing man.

He’s really athletic and big

Watch them make him a better te 2 than harris

I prefer to leave the expended can as bait for my family members. The look of disappointment on their faces when they realize the can is empty is priceless.

When you have a God at QB, everyone has a chance to look signifcantly better. Case and point: Chris Conley.

1 TD in 3 years pre-Patrick Mahomes era.
1 year with Patrick Mahomes: 5 TD’s

Charcandrick West shouldn’t even be on a roster anymore and Pat was out there in Seattle making that guy look good.

John Lovett:
6’2”
234 lbs
4.56 40
6.94 3 cone

Trey Burton:
6’2”
224 lbs
4.62 40
7.14 3 cone

Have to think Andy wants a guy this athletic on the team.

Yup. He probably liked what he saw from Nagy with Burton and wanted a similar weapon to add a new wrinkle.

I agree, but gotta wonder if they are thinking they can save a few million a year because they won't need him as much?

Yep, no reason to overpay for a punter with this offense. If you can get 90% of the leg and save some $$, you have to look at it hard.

Lovett is intriguing, but since he's converting from QB, is he really going to be ready to play TE this season? I assume that he will show enough in camp to make it impossible to sneak him on to the PS and stash him there. But I bet they he is on the inactive list every week if he does make the roster, much like they did last year with McKenzie. I wonder if they would like to also have him as the 3rd QB on the team and save a roster spot that way. They only went with 2 last year, and if we are down to QB3 we're screwed anyway, so why not?

He can be used similar to Hill in New Orleans while he’s learning

Another thing. I noticed that Sherman is working with the tight ends. I wonder what's up with that? He played at tight end a couple of times last year. Maybe they're planning to increase his role with more of that. He deserves it. Fullback is a position of the past. But Sherman has always been a great team player and a stud on special teams. Not to mention, he did play great in the probowl. If he can get a few more snaps at tight end, I say go for it.

Yep. 3rd round of the 2005 draft, Vermeil's last season.

Speaking of DC, he is 37 years old and makes $3.15 million this season. I think it may be time for us to look to a younger and cheaper option. If not this year, very soon.

Is this sarcasm? I mean, it's gotta be. Right? It's so hard to tell on the internet sometimes. :shake::hmmm:

But does he have all the intangibles?

They better be sure though cause a few shanks by a punter or missing and letting a great returner run wild can be concerning.

I def think they could or should transition him into more of the h back hybrid role

I’m glad he re signed I think he brings a lot

Dustin needs to retire and become an assistant coach

Agreed.

Assistant Punting Coach?

We’ll see how these guys look in camp but it seems like Veach and his staff have a good eye for cheap WR talent in UDFA. Having Mahomes doesn’t hurt.

We haven't heard much good OR bad. this kid is going to need at least a year in this offense before he can begin to fully contribute as a receiver on a full-time basis. There's no such thing as insurance for Tyreek Hill. Tyreek is a goddamn beast and way to undervalued by many.

Man, y'all just need to get with the program; Sly Fox is coming UP. Look at how much colquitt's role has been reduced since Mahomes took over. The chiefs no longer need a country club punter.

Yep, Mahomes effect should land us some good UDFA WR's going forward. Not to mention, that a guy like Mahomes will elevate any WR a notch or two.

I don't know who that guy is but

you never heard of harry kuntz?

Hey, I'll take it.

Kpass running with the 1's is interesting. It would be hilarious (and awesome) if Kpass and Speaks turned into great players now that they won't be trying to shove a square peg in a round hole.

Kpass at a wide 9 might work. Speaks as a 3/4 tech would be a more natural fit too.

No, but I've had my share of them

one comment on that twitter post was remember jonesy is not present, so for now, it's just OTAs

but it's good news regardless

Special Teams, so yes, that’s part of it

Yes it is.

Net savings of $1.1M this year if he's cut or traded.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-c...colquitt-4375/

If Fox flashes, I'd cut bait on the MVP.

There should not be anyone on this team from the freaking Vermeil era! JFC.

I’d legit feel bad for coquettish if he got cut then we won it all. Then I’d just think about that trophy and fap.

People forget that Tyreek Hill was a camp standout. Hey this 5th rounder looks good in camp! Lol Jesse Haynes gtfoh


edit: and cutting Colquitt to save a million or two is stupid when we're nowhere near the cap

That’s actually really funny.

He was the ultimate OTA/TC hype machine.

But they are set up to have to dump salary basically following the 20 season..there will probably be a strike and honestly that'll help but going forward if they can find cheaper viable options it has to be looked at.

A 37 year old punter could honestly hit the wall and lose power.
