Epic Carnival recently previewed our Kansas City Chiefs. Lots of, well, stuff. Good, bad and…ugly:
The Good:
Keep an eye on WR Will Franklin, who has the size to turn the Kansas City receiving corps into Arizona-lite.
Bowe’s used his size better than any other receiver in his class and showed a penchant for attacking the ball that earned him comparisons to Larry Fitzgerald.
It’s saying something when the “steal of the draft” went with the 5th pick. That is exactly how good I think Glenn Dorsey will be.
The Bad:
The bad news is that Herm Edwards may very well have broken RB Larry Johnson when he allowed him to set the record for carries in a single season in 2006. That was stupid. REALLY stupid (Johnson himself complained about the offensive gameplan, which you would do too if you were told to run into a wall 416 times).
And The Ugly:
Is there a less exciting quarterback in the league than Brodie Croyle? He put up a league worst 5.48 YPA, split his INTs and TDs exactly 6/6, he’s already playing on two torn ACLs, and the vast majority of youtube footage on the kid is negative (the clip below is entitled “Brodie’s Greatest Hits,” and makes me sad to watch). I thought KC fans were supposed to be all rabid and crazy for this guy. I mean, ordinarily this is where I make the obligatory “at least his wife is hot” comment, but, I mean, what was ANYBODY thinking here?

“opponents who think that losing Jared Allen made the Kansas City defensive front four significantly weaker are going to be in for a surprise when Dorsey starts repeatedly landing on top of their quarterbacks. Carnage alone should keep Chiefs fans glued to the team this year.”
Exactly what I’ve been preaching to anyone who will listen. The LSU defense that Dorsey played under is a lot more conservative than what Cunningham will bring. The Dorsey-Hali-DJ triple threat is guaranteed to keep many an OC awake at night. Let the carnage begin!!!
“(and for the record, I think Calvin Johnson will be much better”
I don’t necessarliy think thats true I think Bowe could end up having the better career
I was actually unaware that we were 5th in the league against the pass last year. The way fans talk about our secondary you’d think we were like 30th.
This is the most positive outlook I’ve read on the Chiefs yet as far as ‘08 season is concerned. Definitely more good than bad, especially considering that I’m fully expecting Brodie to perform much better this year than he’s expected to based on last year.
The Will Franklin comments are very exciting, to say the least.
