KC's line has been dominant but if I'm not mistaken Spears wasn't a starter on their line...its been Roaf, Tait, Wiegmann, Waters, and Shields. They lost John Tait and yet they still cut Marcus Spears that to me raises a red flag or two, as does the fact that he and Vermeil never saw eye to eye because lets face it, Vermeil is very much a players' coach. He's no Bill Parcells. He loves his players as long as they are good people and good football players.
Still, the KC offense run by Al Saunders is basically identical to the Norv Turner playbook in all the terminology, so Spears could come right in and he'd already know half or more of the blocking schemes, as well as all of the terminology. That was one thing that made Tait so attractive to us.
