Comments on: Pioli And Haley Must Do Better This Offseason http://arrowheadaddict.com/2010/03/09/pioli-and-haley-must-do-better-this-offseason/ A Kansas City Chiefs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more Fri, 25 May 2012 19:29:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: RatsoReily http://arrowheadaddict.com/2010/03/09/pioli-and-haley-must-do-better-this-offseason/#comment-33836 RatsoReily Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:13:22 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/?p=7857#comment-33836 Now we've got Jones and Smith on the Team so it's starting to look up ... I agree though ... I'm tired of losing and we need to see some serious improvement from this Team .. after today I think we're getting there. I've been hoping the Chief's pick up Jones since his release .. thank goodness we've done it. I'm not that familiar with Smith but we need the help and he played for Crennel so I figure it's a good acquisition at a position of need. Now can we add a little help at LB and the Secondary along with a good draft ... it's sure starting to make me feel better about the future.

I can remember San Diego fans coming on Arrowhead Pride and laughing at us right after we picked Goff up, saying that he had completely hit the wall...so his deterioration must have been visible (before he ever played a down for us, mind you) to even casual fans. By game 3 or 4 me and the guys I watch Chiefs games with at the Pourhouse in NYC were dedicating our turds to Mike Goff...even the floaters. Praying for Haley to send somebody, ANYBODY to replace him. We even considered putting the Don in at guard (hey, he's a big guy right?) It was the single most frustrating player situation of the season...OK I exaggerate, not more than L.J. Not trying to go on an anti-Pioli rampage. He usually evaluates talent with the best of 'em. For the record, I like Tyson Jackson. I like Pioli and Haley. Hopefully we can beef that line up this year but please, Don, no more mistakes like Mike Goff...

Everyone remember we now have a real OC (Weis) Haley was exposed last year, keep what we have for sure then let SOME REAL COACHES go to work.We aren't SB caliber yet, but lets fight towards it anyway Ok they signed Jones,Chambers,Vrabel-Wade Smith is shopping?

Haley just got a coaching staff together by the time FA hit last season. He fired Chan, as he didn't want to waste an entire season with an offense he didn't believe in, so the team was learning both entirley new offenses and defenses. I think Wade Smith, Chambers, Mike Brown (not great, but a good temporary fill in player), O'Callahan is the best RT we have had in 5 years, and I think will only improve, Nkuywe actually stepped in at RT and played fairly well, and can still provide depth at RT or Guard, Alleman must not have been too bad, the Colts grabbed him and cut Lilja. I will not call Jackson, Magee or Colin Brown busts yet. Jackson did his job in the 3-4. He ate up blockers. Magee played well, in a rotation role, and we got some good performances from players like Wallace Gilberry (2 sacks), Corey Mays and Andy Studebaker. The O-line vastly improved the last 4 games, giving up only 6 sacks (none in the Denver game, and adjusted to the zone blocking scheme well enough to help Charles be the 2nd beat rusher in football, the final 8 games of the season). We have alot better core of young players than many realize, and with most of them in their 2nd to 4th years, they should peak this season. Keep in mind the coaching staff changes, the easier schedule, and every other team in the AFC West also going through some major transitions. This is a team that is going to fly under the radar this season, with Pioli and Haley having a full year to evaluate the roster, and the players we add in free agency will determine if we are an 8-8 team (which I think we are right now), or a 10 win team that is in playoff contention. Thomas Jones and resigning Chambers is a good start. Eric Berry working out with Brandon Flowers, may give us an edge in nabbing him, and rumors are that we are a main candidate for Ryan Lilja, who Carl let go, but he resides in KC, and has been the starter on 2 Superbowl teams. There is an underrated core of good players on the roster, and more will be added. I don’t think they sucked as bad as some think, at Free Agency and the Draft.
