The Morning Fix: Jamaal Charles, Travis Kelce, Charlie Weis
By Ben Nielsen
Many people need their coffee to get up and going in the morning. Here at Arrowhead Addict, we understand that for a Kansas City Chiefs fan, coffee is simply not enough.
Here’s all that’s happening around Chiefs Kingdom today.
Welcome to The Morning Fix.
Good morning, Addicts.
Joe McKnight lands of the PUP list.
Kansas City needs the boost Travis Kelce can provide, says Adam Teicher.
"Still, his return was a victory for the Chiefs and Kelce. An ailing knee and the resulting surgery caused Kelce to miss all of his rookie season last year, and then he was a bystander for virtually all of offseason practice."
Arrowhead Pride breaks down the linebacker situation.
"The linebacker corps is the strongest it’s been in Kansas City since they switched the 3-4 system in 2009. There looks to be solid depth across the board. This position group has a bigger impact on special teams compared to most so solid depth is crucial in helping the special teams reach peak performance in all phases."
Having training camp in St. Joseph is huge for the city.
Jason Seibel discusses the top five roster battles at Chiefs camp.
"[T]he fact that the team cut cornerback Brandon Flowers a month ago shows that no one is truly safe from getting a pink slip taped to their locker."
Jeffri Chadiha talks Jamaal Charles and his usage.
"It’s not that the Chiefs shouldn’t use Charles in the best way possible. It’s that they need to use him as wisely as possible, which means adding more talent around him. It’s been impressive to watch a 5-foot-11, 199-pound back dominate the way Charles has the past few years. But it also seems that the Chiefs need him to perform superhuman feats to make a limited offense dangerous."
Experience is key for Weston Dressler, write Herbie Teope.
