projecting the chiefs offense

It's been a long time since a Chiefs' fan has been able to be excited about the offense. But I started to add up who will be on the field...

5 offensive linemen
Cassel QB
Charles RB (sub Thomas Jones)
Bowe WR1
Chambers WR2

- - -

That's 9.

The Chiefs have 4 tight ends. New draftee Moeaki and pickup Leonard Pope would figure to be at the top of the TE depth chart.

So if we assume those 9 above will be in on most plays, then you can pick 2 from this list:
Moeaki / Urban WR3 / McCluster RB/WR

So you can go 1 TE and put either Urban or McCluster as WR3. You could put both in and have 4WR.

You could put in Moeaki and Pope, plus Charles and McCluster as 2 RBs. So you'd have 2 TE that could block or catch passes, with 2 RBs that are super fast and can catch passes out the backfield.

On paper at least, it looks like Charlie Weis has the weapons to make something work.
