The Kansas City Chiefs are pretty well set in their starters at each position and for the first time in a long time, there haven’t been a ton pf positions up for grabs.

One position battle I have been keeping my eye on,however, is the OLB job … [visit site to read more]

Time To Play “Chiefs: Chew or False”

Ladner Morse — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 17:00:38 +0000

Take ten true, or false, statements about the Kansas City Chiefs and depending on your opinion, or mood, pick the one you agree, or disagree, with and “chew” on it. Then spit out your opinion.

It’s really not as disgusting as it sounds.

I’ll start by giving you my take and then its’ your turn to… punt, pass or spit.

1. Justin Houston should have been our 1st round pick.

True. In the early spring I was pining for the Chiefs to select Justin Houston in the first round and I wrote a couple of pieces in favor of that. That was pre-dubbie-debacle. Now, I can safely say that at least he deserved to be taken in the first. My oh my, that “man” can play football and I can’t wait to see Houston and Hali launching at the same time, at the same target and arriving at the same moment. I heard one fan say recently that this is the most excited they have been about the Chiefs rush since the days of DT and Neil. I think that’s a tad premature but, I can see the potential. BTW… I’ve seen enough of pooty Studie to believe that Houston should be the starter on September 11th.

2. The Chiefs have solved their WR issues this off season.

False. For now. Like any other week, during the past two years, I have to have a “wait and see” attitude when it comes to our wide outs. During the past two years… I thought it could be Bowe. Then I thought it would be Chambers but, that was when Bowe was in Haley’s dog house. Then, Bowe turns into Mr. All World this past season when no other receiver could get open. So, we draft Baldwin and sign Breaston but, I’ve only seen Jerheme Urban show any flashes this preseason. Once again… I don’t know what to make of it. I do believe that Haley has a plan but, so far, in his first couple of seasons, he only has Bowe to show for all his “developing” at the WR position. I also think Haley has some Riverboat gambler in his soul and right now he’s neither playing or showing his cards.

3. Barry Richardson is going to get Matt Cassel murdered.

True (but, for Matt’s sake, I hope not). I don’t know about off the field but, on the field there is evidence that he’s gone backwards. I’ve been looking back at game tape and BRich is either going to set a record for holding penalties so that he can save Matty’s hide or he’s going to be a pallbearer. I don’t know what’s going on with him although, I was a fan of his progress last season. Now, even with the small sample of plays we have seen of Jared Gaither, I’d be more in favor of playing him at RT. BRich has been that bad. Signing someone who may be getting released next week would be better than BRich… and I don’t even know who that would be. . Either way, I’m of the… try something, try anything… opinion.

4. Obama could hire Clark Hunt to balance the budget.

True. If the preseason is any kind of true indication of our needs at certain positions then we should spend some of the Chiefs plentiful salary cap that’s burning a hole in my pocket protractor. I’m all in favor of continuing to keep some cap space available for the leverage it affords the Chiefs but, there comes a time to step up and throw the deep ball. Come on Clark… go long.

Cap update after the break. Brace yourself.

Chiefs QB Coach Jim Zorn Outshines The Youngsters In Drill

Patrick Allen — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:57:41 +0000

I was reaching a detailed report of practice over at bobgretz.com this morning and Bob told of a story that was pretty interesting.

Yesterday in practice, former NFL QB and Chiefs QB coach Jim Zorn was taking Matt Cassel, ~~Tyler Palko~~ Falko Calabaloo and Ricky Stanzi through an accuracy drill. The drill was simple. Zorn placed two garbage cans on top of each other in the back corner of the end zone. He then had the Qb’s stand between the 10 and 20-yardlines. The task was to try to put the ball in the can.

A drill like this requires a certain touch. Unfortunately, none of KC’s QB’s were up to the task.

But their coach was.
