Ean Randolph not among five cut by Chiefs

This was on the AP wire:

¶  KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Tackle Ramiro Pruneda, who was introduced at a news conference when signed out of the Mexican collegiate leagues last spring, was one of five players released Thursday by the Kansas City Chiefs.

¶  Coach Herm Edwards said three weeks ago at training camp that the 300-pound Pruneda was working hard but having trouble catching up with players with more experience.

¶  Also released were wide receiver Titus Ryan, cornerback Marcus Maxey, tight end Mike Pinkard and defensive end Chris Harris. Wide receiver Rod Gardner had his contract terminated.

I counted 6, 2 of which are wr.

He should be able to make the team as a KR/PR. He can develop his WR skills more as he goes along.

[Matt]

he would be a great fit in KC, specially since he fits the mold of a dante hall type player.

[Buller64]

They still have 10 WRs but Ean is listed as #1 among punt returners and eighth among WRs.

Too bad the Chiefs defense is so bad that Ean doesn't get many opportunities to run back punts.

[Catch & Release]

In the couple of games I saw him play, He looked pretty good. Had a few good returns. However, since he is playing with the 3rd team QB, he is not getting enough balls thrown his way. The 1 catch he had against Miami was a screen pass he turned into a 12 yard gain. I think he makes the team. On another note.....Does anybody have any word on how Andre Hall is doing in Denver? Just curious...

[Matt]

if ean makes the team it will be because of his return abilities and not his play at WR.  so i am not too concerned about him being in there against 3rd strings.  KC has been known to keep 6 or 7 WRs.  I am just worried about Preist Holmes.  If he gets healthy then KC will give him a roster spot as kind of "good gesture" type thing which might take away Ean's chances of making the team.

[Matt]

as for Andre, he hasnt gotten 1 carry all preseason so it doesnt look like he is going to make any kind of roster.  hopefully he can stick around on a practice squad or get another chance
