Good morning, Addicts! It’s Friday, a beautiful song to the ears of anybody who puts in those 40 hours throughout the week. Let’s get the day off on the right foot with the latest Kansas City Chiefs news from around the web.
What is Alex Smith’s ceiling – Andrew Carroll of Arrowhead Pride
"Football is a team sport, of course. The simple answer is that, if the team is good enough, any quarterback can win a Super Bowl. But that isn’t a very fun answer for the purposes of debate. So what I wanted to do was quantify some things to see how The Phoenix compares to the rest of the NFL."
What is Justin Houston up to? – Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride
"It’s less than a week to the July 15 deadline for Justin Houston and the Kansas City Chiefs to reach a long-term deal. So what’s Houston doing?"
Prediction the Chiefs’ starting defense – Dan Schmelzer of NFL Spin Zone
"Led by a stout defensive line, extremely talented linebackers and an underrated secondary, the Kansas City Chiefs had one of the best defenses in the entire NFL last season. The Chiefs allowed only 330.5 total yards per game last season, which was the seventh lowest total in the entire league. Even more impressive was the Chiefs holding opposing offenses to only 17.6 points per game, tied for the second lowest point total in the NFL."
A pessimistic guide to Kansas City’s 2015 season – Leigh Oleczazak of KC Kingdom
"Right now though, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Kansas City Royals, and Sporting Kansas City are all playing well, but things weren’t always fun concerning the sports team around here. The Chiefs are notorious for never winning in the postseason (take the 2013 season’s debacle in the Wildcard game) and it’s gotten to a point where some fans feel like they’ll always be destined to be on the outside looking in."
