One last point on TE. You have to remember that Kendricks isn't replacing Cook as the starter. He is the backup. You could be right, he isn't ascending, but I think he is a big improvement.
He's there to block and misdirect and line up in a bunch and defeat press coverage occasionally.
I also hope he is there for goal line Bubba Franks play. Block, fall down, stand up, catch touchdown.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
