Appearance On Cat Crave Radio

by NFL

John White of our sister site Cat Crave hosts one of the best weekly sports podcasts that you’ll find on the Net. This week he asked me to join him to chat up our Chiefs and his Panthers. The topics discussed:

  1. Early injury updates
  2. Our quarterback situation
  3. Larry Johnson and the running game
  4. Our rookie class
  5. How the Herm Edwards move has worked out
  6. How the teams match up on both sides of the ball
  7. My game prediction

The segment starts at 11:33 and concludes at 21:16, so it’s just about 10 minutes long. Definitely be sure to check it out, as the rest of the show is always both entertaining and informative.

(Update: On the show I said that Branden Albert hyperextended his elbow, which was what was being reported at the time. We now know that he has a dislocated elbow and will not play Sunday.)

Nice find, Jeremy. Thanks!

On Panthers.com:

A GLOWING RECOMMENDATION: Even in the NFL, it's not just what you know, but who you know ... and that might have helped wide receiver Mark Bradley land on the Chiefs' 53-man roster this week.

Bradley was a teammate of Muhsin Muhammad's with the Chicago Bears, and Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards said that the Panthers wide receiver called Chiefs director of pro personnel Ray Farmer to share his thoughts on Bradley.

"(Muhammad) called on that kid's behalf to say what kind of kid he was. That says something about a pro football player -- to take time to call a team where a guy is going to go and have a try out," Edwards said. "His message was important because he knows the kid, and he spoke highly of him.

"When you get a veteran like him to do something like that, I think that's special."

It wasn't the entire reason why the Chiefs signed Bradley, who had 38 receptions for 583 yards and four touchdowns during his three years as Muhammad's teammate in Chicago. But it didn't hurt, either, and Edwards said it had "some" influence on Kansas City's choice.

"We did our work, too," Edwards said. "But I think that anytime you get a guy that's played with him (it helps). I respect him. I always have. He's that kind of guy."
