Chief Concerns: Mike Settle Players hate training camp. The grueling two-a-days are no longer what they used to be under the new collective bargaining agreement rules, but the thought of waking up early each day and going through hours of physical and mental torture until the body is depleted wouldn’t make anybody happy. Unless of course you’re Andy Reid. “Nobody ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: David Schroeder Say it with me… Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, and Desmond Bishop. Wait, what? Yep, Desmond Bishop. The Green Bay Packers recently cut Desmond Bishop. Bishop, who’ll be 28 this season, missed all of 2012 with a significant hamstring injury. John Dorsey knows Bishop quite well having watched him develop into a standout inside linebacker ...

Chief Concerns: Desmond Bailey (@CCWriterDez) Word on the street is HBO’s Hard Knocks series will be covering the Cincinnati Bengals this year. It’s the second time Bengals have been featured on the show. The last was in 2009. Color me underwhelmed by the news. Cincy has some new players but with relatively the same coaching staff in place, I can’t ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Kansas City has NEW at the GM spot John Dorsey, the head coaching spot Andy Reid and they traded for Alex Smith to right the QB spot. The Chiefs also brought in Bob Sutton to revamp the existing 3-4 defense. The only holdovers were DB coach Emmitt Thomas and LB coach Gary Gibbs. NEW, NEW, NEW! ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown I like Clark Hunt, I really do. The 2010 media tour of Arrowhead Stadium after renovations was cool, especially walking the tour with Len Dawson. Clark Hunt led the media and told different stories along the way. Clark was careful to keep what his dad wanted/started with the “new” look Arrowhead. That was important to Clark ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Former Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Romeo Crennel ranked No.11 on deadspin.com …‘The Worst Modern NFL Coaches’. “Crennel coached five full seasons on his own with the Browns and the Chiefs,” said Deadspin. “He lost at least 10 games in four of them, and his face assumed the expression of a man eternally on the cusp ...

Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown I was impressed with several players at Kansas City’s recent practices, but I always kept an eye on #61 Rodney Hudson. Hudson was running around pushing and shoving and acting as though he’d never had a major leg injury (broken leg over six months ago), an injury that kept him from playing last season. His first ...

Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown It’s hard not to say ‘that’s right’ as a Chief fan each time an “expert” says Kansas City is their pick to do something. Fans have been through it before. Last season an “in the know” person even picked Kansas City as a possible Super Bowl contender. Yeah, really. I’m a sucker though; 100 percent of ... Read More »
According to ESPN’s Bill Williamson John Dorsey has spoken to Vonta Leach‘s agent Ralph Vitolo this week. Vitolo has not spoken with the Broncos. Dorsey was the scout who helped bring Leach to the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2004. “It’s natural to think Dorsey, now the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, could have ...

Chief Concerns: Mike Buckman Andy Reid’s ability to run an offense is well-documented. Even though he is technically the head coach, he will be calling the plays on offense. He has consistently created Top 10 offenses in either yards, points, or both. The Chiefs have a proven coach calling the shots on offense, so putting up points shouldn’t be a ... Read More »
