    • Randy5k : Clark is best friends with Pats owners son hope that helps
    • Woody : Yes, I love it too...Very professional...Randy Lerner has been leaking nonstop and being about as professional as a used car salesman...its sad...
    • Adam : Not yet. Clark is sure keeping things quiet. I like the way he conducts himself. The folks over at PFT are raving about it.
    • MadMartigan : any word how the interview w/ Pioli went?
    • Woody : uh oh....sounds about like what happened to me...I had to call the ISP and have many conversations...
    • Adam : Try refreshing, Randy. Still, I don't know why you'd be having any issues. You use IE?
    • Randy5k : I cant access aa on my home computer anymore anyone else having that problem?
    • Randy5k : I like the way the Chiefs are keeping quiet.
    • Woody : I feel the same way, Adam...I think if the interview is tomorrow then we may know something then or Tuesday...
    • Gump : Pioli looking better all the time. maybe we'll know something tomorrow?
    • Adam : No, I think Pioli is a good bet to come here. I honestly have always felt this situation is better than Cleveland's. The Browns are locked into a lot of bad contracts and have some rotten apples on that team. This is a great spot for Pioli.
    • epic : thanks for the link as well adam
    • Rihavens : I had a nightmare when I was sleeping today that the Chiefs traded Thigpen for a 5th and said they are still commited to Croyle. It was so plausable I had to double check.
    • Woody : Cool...its exciting...You think it is just posturing language?
    • Adam : Here's the AP link: «link» (you can always just paste in links)
    • Woody : Don Banks article...second bullet-point...
    • epic : where does it say that at?
    • Woody : Don Banks says Pioli is "excited" about the situation in KC...Check SI.com for more, or AP
    • chiefsfan3131 : I miss Jared Allen!!!
    • Adam : Haynesworth isn't going anywhere.
    • chiefsfan3131 : I'll agree with ya again about Suggs being a priority, could you imagine the benifits of having him and Haynesworth. I can Dream I guess...LOL
    • Adam : That would be very interesting. Shanny is down in Mexico for two weeks, so we won't know anything about him going anywhere untilhe returns apparently.
    • chiefsfan3131 : But rumors are exactly what they are untill something"for real" happens.
    • chiefsfan3131 : Per our NFL source, Warpaint Illustrated has confirmed that former Denver Broncos Head Coach has an eye on Kansas City. Per that source, he has working through a third party to make sure that Clark Hunt knew of his interest in working for the Kansas City Chiefs.
    • chiefsfan3131 : here is the line:
    • chiefsfan3131 : I read it on Warpaint forums.
    • Adam : I have not heard that, but I can see him wanting to exact some revenge on the Broncos like he did the Raiders for years.
    • chiefsfan3131 : Seperate the GM and HC and Team Pres duties. It is more productive for all. As long as all involved can work together. I heard that Shanny would like to come to KC to coach.
    • Adam : Jared is getting triple teamed. Wow.
    • Adam : Well, we have seprated business and football so that is not going to happen.
    • chiefsfan3131 : Moving away from Pioli might be a good Idea. I am not sold on Bringing a guy in that wants the entire package as Gm and Pres. Look at the track record of those who have had that kinda power. Also we just kicked CP to the curb and that was his undoing as well.
    • Adam : Pollard was better than Page this season. Led the team in tackles and had a ton of fumble forces and recoveries. Our entire secondary is fine, especially with a better front seven.
    • chiefsfan3131 : I agree about Page, We need to resign him and put somebody next to him that isn't as useless as The "Bonesmoker" Pollard.
    • Adam : Page is getting a little more B-Dawk in him. Started playing nasty at the end of the year.
    • chiefsfan3131 : yes that rumor.

Branden Albert Injury Update: Hyperextended Elbow

According to the Kansas City Star, Branden Albert has a hyperextended elbow and will likely be out when the Chiefs visit Carolina next Sunday. I’d guess that he’ll be back after the bye week, the same week Brodie Croyle is scheduled back. Until then, we’ll get a good look at Herb Taylor, who filled in admirably today.

It could have been worse, too. On TV, due to the angle, it kind of looked like he hurt his right knee. Thankfully, that didn’t happen. This is much less severe than it could have been. I also don’t think he’s injury prone. It isn’t uncommon for an O-lineman to have someone fall on them and injure them at the tail end of the play.

    thank god hes only gonna be out 1 week, when he comes back to full health, we should move herb to the right side in place of mcintosh.

  2. 2. MasterBlaster Says:

    Yes…but what about the sweet music of his violin concherto’s.

    I dunno about moving herb to the right. Lets cheap shot mcintosh’s trombone sliding elbow and see how Barry Richardson does.

  3. 3. woody Says:

    Yea…he looked pretty pathetic on that cart, wincing and whatnot…especially when they said it was an elbow thing…BUT I am overjoyed that it is not a knee problem…

    [...] to the guys at Arrowhead Addict for the tip on this [...]

  5. 5. TheKansagonian Says:

    Hey, get off of “Mac”’s back! He played extremely well the last 2wks actually. Props to the guy, give em when he deserves em! He was attached to them pony boys at the shoulder all day!!!

  6. 6. Double D Says:

    Semi-ditto to what theKansasgonian just said. D-Mac really stepped up yesterday. Won’t go so far as to say he played great against Atlanta though - that sack he allowed on the very first play pretty much set the tone for the day.

    Let’s hope yesterday was the first sign of better things to come from him.

  7. 7. xxxlp Says:

    Part of him looking decent was having Damon in.. He got rid of the ball extremely fast, and that was HUGE. I’m surprised noones picked up on that. Brodie/Thigpen (especially Thigpen,) tend to hold on to the ball a bit longer than our O-line, especially the right side, can handle. The fact that LJ started off at a tremendous pace, and Damon getting the ball out of the pocket blazingly fast (so it seemed,) we looked good, even damn good.

  8. 8. lobo48 Says:

    I agree xxxlp. Damon is getting rid of the ball a lot faster than the other qb’s. And as far as D-Mac at tackle, I saw a couple of plays where LJ ran into his back cuz he was getting pushed backward and/or at least not blocking forward as he should have been. But all in all, the o-line did play a lot better in this game. Might have had something to do with LJ’s big run right away. It kinda fired everyone up. Feels good knowing that Arrowhead still has a little magic left in her.(especially for Denver)

    Speaking of Denver………..hey Soap Opera and Worst Team…where are ya now. Come back and tell us some more about your invincible Broncos.

    Told ya not to kick anyone when they are down………didn’t I?

    Go Cheifs!!

    Ahh, just a great post Lobo, on all points.
