cmh6476 1,023 Posted October 26, 2005 and back into team meetings and hope to get him back in a couple of weeks. Vermeil "i'll believe it when i see it" http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=127468 From everything I've been hearing on the radio is sounding optimistic, like he could be back! We could use some depth at DT, there have even been rumors floating around about us going after Gilbert Brown Sims hasn't done much, but all I was hearing all training camp was how this was his best camp ever and yada yada yada! Then he gets hurt This is by far the weakest position on the entire team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 1,023 Posted October 26, 2005 and as for Shawn Barber, here's what I've heard: i searched, didn't see anything except an article from 10/19. He was on KCFX with CP the Thurs. night before the Fins game, sitting in for Trent. They said he can now start practicing with the team, and the Chiefs now have 3 full weeks to evaluate him. But from the radio show, it really sounded optimistic and like Barber could get in there and start practicing at any time. But anything could happen once contact starts. Will he be ready to go during full contract drills on what, Thursday? I think he could be a huge bonus on D, allowing use to utilize the 3-4 like Gun wanted to do with Fox. If Barber can get to the level he used to play at, this would be a very solid addition to our defense. Anybody hearing anything else? http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=127486 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Moose Knuckle Ball Four Posted October 26, 2005 Q: Can you give an update on Ryan Sims? VERMEIL: “Making progress, good progress. In fact, I think he has the (foot) cast off and is back in meetings. They’re a little bit optimistic right now that we can get him back, but I want to see it before I believe it.” Q: Get him back when? VERMEIL: “In a few weeks.” Q: How much of an impact can he make after missing so much time? VERMEIL: “Well, if he can get back in his football playing shape at least he can make an impact in rotation. He’s not going to be what he was in the opener; he was a dominating player in the opener but it didn’t last very long. I don’t know how long it will take.” Q: What have you seen in your years of coaching of a guy coming back off something like this? Does it take too long to make a real impact? VERMEIL: “I haven’t seen anybody come off that kind of injury and come back and do it. It’s usually been a lingering thing. It all depends how severe it was in the first place. Right now the doctors are optimistic that he can get back and play.” Q: Would it be better to IR him and bring in someone who’s healthy who’s not here right now? VERMEIL: “Those are easier things to say than do many times.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
