Headrick: a proponent of cushioned aeroplane seat for inner posterior relief, a man not averse along with Walt Corey & Smokey Stover to putting "rocks" in their pockets to try and 'bump' up their weight with the Dallas Texans so as to impress Hank Stram & make the team (Headrick listed as much as 240, played 215-220 tops he told me.)

We got ahead of the game with Allen and made a trade that behooved the team before he got away, unlike Tait. IMO, Tait was out the door one way or another here in KC as soon as his contract was up. That probably had a lot to do with Peterson, and I won't defend him on that. He did piss off players/ agents frequently. But at the same time, you can't tell me 1st round picks don't make enough money. Even if they were a bust, the first contract they sign will have them living a more comfortable life than I will, financially. You're right in that Carl didn't ALWAYS have us in good cap space, but on the other hand, we didn't go through cap hell dropping top players to get under the cap either. IT guy,

He was an excellent pick. He is, also, an example of a player that should have had a new contract well before the transistion/franchise tag could have been applied. The biggest, maybe only problem, of the nasty initial contract negotiation was that John Tait resolved not to sign again with the Chiefs. Seemed Carl had painted himself into a corner on that one. But Carl had made a fine draft pick and Tait was a fine player. Bob, Agreed about John Tait. He was an excellent pick.

Anyone remember the promo where if you bought something on Saturday, and Dante took either half's opening kickoff to the house on Sunday, your purchase was free. I think Dante made them pay out on that 3 times if I'm not mistaken. Hey Dan, you forgot to mention that Dante Hall was singlehandedly responsible for putting Brandsmart out of business.

Please give up Todd Hailey will not put Fred Arbanas on the OL. Blake Absolutely, can not compare the two. Without Tait who is to say that we would have accomplished what they did. That is why it is called a TEAM. Besides Dante was too unpredictable, and even thought it worked out ONCE, he ran backwards too much. If you want to look at individual stats watch tennis, or golf. Otherwise it is a TEAM effort that gets the trophy. The game is not about 11 individuals training to get to the pro bowl. It is a bout 11 men working as a unit.

All players are me first, as well they should be. This is a business, first and foremost. Tait was a good player, and the reason he went elsewhere was because of Carl. We could have had tait long term for a good price, but Peterson let him get to the transisition phase. And you are wrong on about how much he paid players, or what they deserved as well. He continually botched relations with players and agents. This isnt breaking news. Hate to check ya, but I had to today. I comment very rarely, but RedandGold is wrong here.

No overpaid (in NFL standards) rookies. He, along with Denny Thumb, did a great job managing our cap. With that being said, I think the John Tait & agent shouting match is probably one of his bigger public smudges that he'd like to go back and redo. John always struck me as a "me first" player. As far as LTs go, I'm for leaving Albert in his position and finding the right combination of RT,RG,C whether it's through the draft or free agency or waiver pick up.

I say no. Fred Arbanas should have been drafter to play on the offensive line. Have I yet mentioned how much I think Al Davis should be hired as Chiefs' President? Also I like, nee LOVE horses-and yes, in the way you are probably thinking. Tait you say? I say no. Fred Arbanas should have been drafter to play on the offensive line.

So Tait was still probably the better draft choice. yeah but how many games would we have lost if he wasnt there in 2003. they wouldnt have scored as many TD and probably gave up more sacks that might have given us less wins in 2003.
