The point of the preseason it not to win games. It's to evaluate the thirty or so players teams bring in to compete for the final 10 spots of the roster hoping to find the next Tom Brady . With roster cuts to 75 players on the 25th and 53 on August 30th some players only have one last opportunity to show what they can do. Herm Edwards stated last week he knows who 45 or 47 of his 53 players are going to be. The open competition at almost every position the Chiefs opened camp with has been closing rapidly. These players are close to securing a spot on the roster but will have to play well against the Dolphins to make this squad. Dead men walking 1. B.J. Sams: Does not have the explosion and speed he used to have when he was a Pro Bowler. Has not made a play all preseason and has been out played by Dontrell Savage. The only thing that could stop Sams from getting cut is taking a kick to the end zone more than once versus the Dolphins. 2. Chris Manderino: Was only brought in as insurance in case Chan Gailey's FB Mike Cox was a bust. Unfortunately for Chris, Mike Cox has been very impressive and he already knows the playbook inside and out coming from Gailey's system at Georgia tech. 3 John Paul Foschi: Another player Gailey brought from GT. The Chiefs are too stacked at TE for him to be on the final 53 but his ties to Gailey could land him on the practice squad. Foschi would need a injury to stay alive. 4. Bobby Sippio: The coaching staff will not have as big of a issue cutting Sippio as the fans will. He just does have anything going in his favor. He does not fit in their youth movement and he is slow and Maurice Price has started to pull away from the competition. Need to show something The move back to linebacker proved to be very beneficial for Hoyte, who was buried on the depth chart at FB. Hoyte has made some plays at LB and drew Gunther Cuningham's praise. His job is not finished he will have to standout on Thursday. Especially on special teams. 1.Oliver Hoyte: 2. Derek Lokey: "Low to the Earth" type of player with a non stop motor. Deffensive tackle will be a hard position to bust through on. Since Turk McBride decided he is the reincarnation of Neil Smith, Alphonso Boone is enabled to go back to DT where he is more comfortable. That hurts Lokey's chances. 3.Connar Barth: Connar is right in the mix at the kicker position but he is starting to fall behind the pace being set by Nick Novak. Barth needs to get a couple kicks in the end zone and a couple more thru the up rights to be on this team for the following game. So close they can taste it 1. Johnny Dingle: Dingle had one sack and disrupted a couple more plays against the Cardinals. Dingle has had a good buzz around him all camp long. A lot like fellow rookie Derek Lokey his spot on the team could be determined by what position Alphonso Boone plays. 2.Dontrell Savage: The Chiefs were content with going one extra at receiver. As long as that extra returned kicks. B.J. Sams is getting cut. Kevin Robinson is injured. Now the Chiefs will go one extra at RB and keep 5 Receivers. Savage will force his way on board.
