Not such big surprises on the Chiefs’ 53, but a few things that caught my attention:
1) Moving on from Emari Demercado speaks to a couple things: the Chiefs see Ken Walker as a three-down back, and they love what Emmett Johnson has showed. Brashard Smith is a wild card Andy Reid can move around on offense, and he’s KR2. Best return in a while for KC on Friday night.
2) Cutting Andrew Armstrong means the Chiefs think he can pass through waivers, which is possible. Remember this is a second-year player, not a rookie. It also speaks to Nikko Remigio, who Dave Toub trusts better than anyone on the roster to catch a punt. The Chiefs have played in 22 one-score games the past two years alone. Even one muff matters. We’ll see on Armstrong.
3) Esa Pole was cut, and here I’d echo the Armstrong point — I think he probably gets to the practice squad. From posts (tweets, whatever), it seems like fans are out on Pole, anyway, but a lot of the same fans were upset when Pole was claimed last year…
