General manager John Dorsey talks job with Chiefs – Desmond Conner of The Hartford Courant

"When Dorsey, 54, came to Kansas City with coach Andy Reid in 2013, the Chiefs were coming off a 2-14 season in 2012. They were 11-5 and made the playoffs in 2013, one of the biggest turnarounds in team and league history. Last season they were 9-7 but missed the playoffs."

Did Chiefs land two starters at inside linebacker? – Stagdsp of Arrowhead Pride

"For this film review, I watched four games from DJ Alexander, and five from Ramik Wilson. I was looking for “wow” moments, (positive or negative) and evidence that the LB I was watching had the ability to “win” in the run game and / or the passing game."

Kansas City must find role for De’Anthony Thomas – Dan Schmelzer of NFL Spin Zone

"The Chiefs currently list Thomas as a running back, but it is not like he plays the position in a traditional role. The Chiefs did line Thomas up in the backfield at times last season, but they were not giving him the ball like a true workhorse running back. Thomas’ carries mostly came on jet-sweeps and counter plays that allowed him to use his skills in open space to make defenders miss."

Extra point rule changes will affect 2015 – BJ Kissel of KCChiefs.com

"The extra point attempt will now take place from the 15-yard line, and defenses will now also have the opportunity to score on a return of a failed two-point conversion. The two-point conversion attempt will still take place from the 2-yard line. Under the previous rule the ball was dead after the failed attempt."
