-”Well, Peyton isn’t a rookie head coach. I think that’s where Haley is having his problems.”

Peyton is in his 4th year, but I believe that he has called the plays all along…including when he was a rookie head coach. Having an OC would provide support all week in preparing for the game, not just game day play calling. Probably would do Haley some good easing his load.

I believe we will get both a an OC and a DC next year. Crennel would have been a better choice than Prendergast but it appears that he may have wanted to take a year off or he may have just wanted to receive his pay from Cleveland before getting back into coaching. The Chiefs’ bad luck was that they had to wait and by that time Nolan, Capers, and Williams were gone. Haley will hire a OC to help him next year so that he can manage Sundays better. His problem was once again having to wait so he was in a way stuck with Gailey.

Chambers was released for money and because they wanted to give Floyd a chance to produce otherwise he would have been restricted next year and could have left (provided a new bargaining agreement is reached). He would help out the Chiefs immensely. Our problem with SD castoffs is that we get their bottom of the barrel OL (MacIntosh and Goff).

Well I would like to know why Pioli would draft Succop instead of picking a player that might help on the O-line and signing Succop as a free agent?

Well the saints last year also had a sorry DC, they let him go and guess who picked him up? It’s funny we took all of the DC’s that sucked and look at our D, on the other hand the Saints picked up a pretty good DC and now thier defense is actually holding leads and playing well, especially after how bad they played last year.

he would be an upgrade as a number 2, with wade sliding to the slot…

Well I dont know if the lower production is always that players fault, esp reciever, but his age has alot to do with it as well.

By: Mad Chief

Mad Chief — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:13:21 +0000

Chambers is 32, I think. He spent 6 1/2 seasons with Miami…and the last 2 1/2 with the Chargers. I believe I heard his contract was about $2.5 million this year. So far this year he’s caught 9 passes for 122 yards and one TD. Last year he had 33 receptions for 462 yards and 5 TD’s.

Big $$$ + low production = released

I have no insight on the guy, can someone inlighten me on his age? contract? ect

“Chambers being released hmm.”

Any comments on why SD cut this guy?

This head coach has no idea what to do with the talent he has, none!
I think the Chiefs made a huge mistake hiring him and what a waste of time the next one or two more years will be. Just my opinion, I do not think Haley will get the job done.

Special teams has been the only part of this Chiefs squad that we can hang our hat on. Hoffman has done an excellent job of rallying the special team troops & molding them into a very respectable & cohesive unit. Thank you Mr. Hoffman.
I agree Chambers would be a solid upgrade for the WR corp. I also agree he will be picked up by another team before we even get to look at him. It is very odd that he was released & it could be months before we find out why.
I think the Sunday game with the Jaguars will be a good matchup for us. Both teams are equally bad. My analogy is simple, whichever team has the least amount of turnovers & negative plays… WINS
Go Chiefs.

I doubt Chambers will fall to the Chiefs, anyway. Even so, his salary is pretty high versus his production. San Diego let him go for a reason, don’t forget. Badass receivers don’t generally get cut mid-season. Yes, Cassel needs “weapons”. I’m just not sure Chambers would be one. What Cassel REALLY needs is some time to throw the ball. That would help more than anything.

I think like I said yesterday, we have been trying players all year to get the talent level up, why stop now!!

If we sign Chambers he would be the second best receiver on the team instantly. He’s got good speed, good leaping ablity, and good hands. This can be a good addition for the Chiefs to help improve a struggling offense that is one the worst teams in the league with Yac (yards after the catch). Cassell needs more weapons at that position so he would be a much needed upgrade.

aPauled says:
“For anyone that saw the Saints last night,hopefully Haley was watching. HC Sean Peyton was calling the plays and running the O…yet he does have an OC to support him.”

Well, Peyton isn’t a rookie head coach. I think that’s where Haley is having his problems. If he wants to call the plays, that’s fine. But he should have waited a year or two…to get the head coach part under control. Besides that…the talent on the Saints offense is mind blowing!

I think Pendergast will not be here past this year. Or at least not as DC. By the time Haley was putting together his staff, most assistants/coordinators already had found homes. I think we’ll see several changes this upcoming offseason, and Pendergast will be one of them. I’m hoping Haley can find an OC he can work with, too.

gorillafan — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:06:44 +0000

aPauled,

I agree with you. I think Haley will hire someone who to come in as OC, but haley will continue to call the plays. And if Haley doesnt, im fine with that too

By: aPauled

aPauled — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:56:50 +0000

Agree MenInRed. Nancy is not the answer as DC. Wasn’t good enough for Arizona last year. Not good enough in KC this year.

For anyone that saw the Saints last night,hopefully Haley was watching. HC Sean Peyton was calling the plays and running the O…yet he does have an OC to support him. Not an accomplished guy like Chan, a guy on the same page as the HC. Model for the Chiefs next year?

Is Chambers a possession or speed receiver? If he had anything left he would at least be an upgrade over Engram. There is one locker room guy to add character except he does not play on Sundays. But as mentioned on radio, he was a doubtful addition because he did not play in NE (please do not kill the messenger, call 810 AM)

By: ED

ED — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:45:09 +0000

Chambers being released hmm. We might need to bring him in adn see what he’s got. He’s certainly a upgrade over Wade and Bradley.

Well it looks as if we have at least one good coach in place in Steve Hoffman for our Special Teams Unit.

I still think Pendergast isn’t the answer on our Def., look at what Denver and Greenbay have done this year under thier 2 new DC and new systems they installed. As far as talent goes I think we have or had just as much as either of those 2 teams did or do but not the same results.

Go Chiefs!
