Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Sounds from OTA #4… week two Andy Reid. “25… you with me on that?” “OK… timeout, timeout. Let’s go a different look.” “Work… work, let’s go!” “[To Dwayne Bowe]…Tighten that square!” Last week was new, the start of OTA’s in Kansas City. This week players know a little more of what to expect, and they’ve been ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Per the Kansas City Star… “Kansas City Chiefs WR Jonathan Baldwin appears to be the favorite for the No. 2 wide receiver job…” One of those DUH statements. Why, because who else would it be? Jon Baldwin has to make it work. I’m not looking for Dexter McCluster to play opposite of Dwayne Bowe, not Donnie ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Which is it? Is Dwayne Bowe getting back to the mouth that handed him the Scott Pioli muzzle, Pioli put the stops to a lot that helped the players and fans get to know each other, or is there truth to Bowe’s future predicting? “Confidence!,” said Chief Concerns columnist Desmond Bailey. “I’m glad Bowe said it. I think ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown With all the positive oozing from One Arrowhead Drive (from me included) hearing anything Scott Pioli’ish about Andy Reid might seem criminal. No really, don’t do it! BUT something came out today that casts a negative light, something from rookie Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce who talked about the differences between Reid and new Eagles coach ... Read More »
One word to describe John Dorsey, what would it be? How about involved? But in a good way. Scott Pioli was possessive, controlling and liked to do it his way. Pioli was involved, but it didn’t help the Chiefs. John Dorsey is involved, but not difficult; he’s a group effort sort of man. There’s nothing complicated about Dorsey. From the ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Kansas City had a total of 57 players (8 drafted, 13 undrafted free agents and 36 tryouts) at this rookie minicamp, the first under Andy Reid. Reid wasn’t going easy on them, I noticed immediately. It was “hurry up” or “pick it up…pick it up, let’s go” to start practice. All coaches were busy teaching and ... Read More »
December 31, 2012 was one of those historic days for the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City had just come off one of its worst seasons ever in its 53-year history ending the season at 2-14 with the NFL’s No.1 overall draft pick in 2013. A first for the Chiefs in the NFL. There was a lot for Chiefs fans to ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown That’s how more than a few Chiefs fans feel about trading Javier Arenas for fullback Anthony Sherman. The Cardinals Chiefs fans think got the better end of the deal; Chiefs just received another fullback… with no guarantee to make the roster. Arenas was taken by Scott Pioli after Dexter McCluster with the Chiefs 50th overall in the ... Read More »
Andy Reid’s message to the rookies, “Just be ready to go.” Chiefs’ rookie minicamp is May 9-12. “You’re going to be here a while,” said Reid to the rookies. “You’re going to go through your rookie minicamp and then you’re going to go through phase three with the team. We’re going to introduce you to the offense and defense and ... Read More »
Chief Concerns: Stephen Brown Throwing the ball deep, that’s something we haven’t done in the past so I’m excited right now. The play calling is totally different from last year. It’s not check downs or putting it in the running back’s hands. This guy [Andy Reid] likes to go down the field, take the top off (the defense) and that’s ... Read More »
