Offense:
It’s Matt Cassel’s second year under center and it’s been a lot more sobering experience than riding
the pine behind Tom Brady or filling in from time to time. From the Chiefs’ vantage point Cassel has been a disappointment. Jamal Charles looks to be the real deal at Running back and the pick up of Thomas Jones looks to be a solid one. At Wide Receiver Dawyne Bowe has shown flashes but nothing consistent and Chris Chambers was a nice mid season pick up last year. I liked the Dexter McCluster pick in the draft and he adds a new dimension to the offense as he’s much like Percy Harvin in Minnesota. KC picked up two offensive Linemen in free agency, Casey Wegman and Ryan Lilja and picked up Jon Asamoah in the draft but this line just isn’t very good.

Chiefs Hall of Fame Willie Lanier remembered how Lamar Hunt went the extra mile for him.
So accepting the Lamar Hunt Lifetime Achievement Award at the Kansas City Sports Commission’s 38th annual Sport KC Props ceremony on Wednesday night was as meaningful as any honor Lanier recalls receiving.
And that’s saying something, considering Lanier, a standout on the Chiefs’ Super Bowl IV champions, was selected NFL Man of the Year in 1972 and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1986.
“He was one of the special people in my life,” Lanier said. “One thing I did in Richmond (Va.) for many years was a scholarship fund. This was in 1990, and Lamar said he would come to Richmond and be the guest speaker.

If I had to choose a book to describe what the year 2010 has looked like so far for the Chiefs, I’d pick the Three Musketeers.
To this point, I’ve already seen Athos (represented in the savvy manner which the Front Office has approached the off-season), Porthos (embodied in the guts necessary to make some unpopular decisions – aside from Eric Berry — in the Draft), and Aramis (symbolized by the attitude displayed in the near-pristine attendance mark in June’s minicamp).
What’s the only missing element in this tale? That would be D’Artagnan (performance on the field). What’s the good news? That he’s within sight.
