I know he’s feeling better, so we’re optimistic. I’m going to just take it day by day here. If he can go, he can go. We’ll look at everything. If we put him out there, or he gets out there, then we’ll have all that factored in.”

Andy Reid spoke to the assembled press regarding the Raiders on Tuesday, saying “Look forward to the challenge of playing the Raiders. Right now they’re the top team in the AFC, so we respect that, we know they’re a good football team, they’re very well-coached and they’ve got good football players, so it should be a heck of a game. We look forward to bringing them into Arrowhead with a great crowd in a couple of nights here.”

Alex Smith Takes nothing for Granted

Smith knows that each game is different. Even when playing a team they have seen before this season, Smith that teams evolve and change. Smith has had a lot of success against Oakland, compiling an 8-1 record. When asked to attribute it he responded, “I don’t know if you can lump them all together — it’s hard. We’ve looked at the tape from earlier this year, and it was a tough game, a close game and we fought hard. You look at that and try to play the chess game here of the rematch: what’s different, what will change and what might they do different? And how do we counter that? You try to play that all out in a short week and it’s tough. We’ll get them here at our place on Thursday night. With the weather and the crowd, it’ll be different.”
