But even our best receiver has underperformed in the past and through training camp up until the last couple weeks. I think the group is going to turn it around though. I think Cassell just starting to develop some good chemistry with the group. The longer he plays with those guys the better both the Qb and receivers will become. As far as the running game goes we have a host of good backs. I expect LJ to have a pro bowl season. Charles to be explosive in big plays. Battle to be our version of Brandon Jacobs for the Giants, and Salvage like Charles to be a spark as well. Heck Kolby Smith hasn’t even been healthy but I definately think he can run as well. HOpefully will keep more running backs than receivers this season because we have more talent in the backfield than at the wideout position.

“ok”

- good, we start out on a positive note…

“Rin”

- yes al(ex), i.e., formerly as in ‘not’ aka ‘no longer’ al, hence ‘ex’ – what is it now suffering long thou ‘Q’est you’est marching/chowder society bandleader his, alternately known as ‘Mr. Sousa’?

Talk to me babe…

“and how many sacks from tank or turk?”

- the 2nd rounder McBride who only started last year and then played only half the season has 1.
3rd rounder Tyler is yet to get 1 officially tho he did lose one result the errancy a stat review decision 2008. As DEs have a much easier time of it than DTs, not suprising.

Unless your a & find, x2…

Meanwhile to help refresh your memory, #1 pick DE Jackson hath none … so too KC’s 2nd pick Magee.
I’m sorry to burst your fragile bubble yet again, but you need to hear the truth: Ty, Alex (unlike you al(ex), he ‘is’ Alex), & are utter flotsam & jetsam as a quartet.

“in TWO seasons”

- in just two games, the 0-2 truth theirs be marching on… (gl0ry, gl0ry ha-venosax-jah!)

“you are”

- Rin Tin Tin, the one & only! But you knew that; stop asking redundant question’s – pull yourself together man!

“asking about tjackson and magee after two PRESEASON games”

- we just covered that; leave them alone before the flies start buzzing around…

“cmon, and btw”

- “let’s play two!” – Ernie Banks

“jackson got half a sack”

- marvelous… next time: 3/4 for sure!

“is what it is”

- what it be called simon is simple math…

“hes even said hes 40 percent.”

- he’ll have to run some more that case… double his efforts as such – expects nothing less than 80% of your best everyday…

“unlike…herm picks”

- yes, Herm always wanted 100%, but he left the negotiating with the players to Carl P. By the way, what do you think of the effort so far by ‘search’ & ‘check’? If the duo were players how would you rate their impact to date?

“no pro bowls, ZERO, no alternates, no leaders in any catagories, no major signings that influenced the team in any way that wasnt downward.”

- wonderful! We’ve absolute consensus! What changed your mind?

“6 wins in 2 years”

- yes, 6 be > > 2 by any measure!

“Golf Clap all around. Bravo Bravo.”

- hear hear! author author! encore encore!

“And yeah Haley”

- (snicker) no kiddin’, I know what you mean man… sheesh.

“lost 2 preseason games”

- yup, got hanmmered in both…

“much like”

- a step-child, agreed.

“the same”

- I’m glad you’ve come to see the error of & s ways. If Herm was still here, what type of success do you think he’d have this year?

“team”

- yeah, the team record. That was-

“that was”

- that’s correct earmuffs, “that was” the question.

“15-1″

- agreed.

“unlike the 0-16 lions”

- exactly, the diametric opposite.

“who went 4-0.”

- anyone not named ‘search’ & ‘check’, that much we know, but-

“glenn holt got cut by the vikes”

- umm, ok… good to know al(ex). Uh, why – did he try & steal extra portions from the training table?

“he can”

- so that implies he has previously … if so he wouldn’t last long in Kaycee – would have glenn running laps like the crazy man ‘check’ is unless holt managed to find the secret key code to understanding his jabberwocky teaching style nee coach speak.

Maybe if he brought a 9-iron ‘check’ could relate to him (failing said, glenn could wrap it around s head.)

“KR”

- PI

“and”

- there’s more where that came from…

“has talent”

- Riin Tin Tin…

“they may look at him.”

- they ‘all’ do… He’s daddy-o

You covered it quite well. Additionally, the Eagles have spent a couple of high draft picks to get WR’s, a position that Brown played. That speaks to how they felt about him.

Succop made you look like a moron, how quickly you backtracked…and its STILL the preseason, way to stick to them guns. rin.

Waste…of…time…no point, he knows less than a friend of mine who is a raider fan…

you are asking about tjackson and magee after two PRESEASON games…cmon, and btw, jackson got half a sack…is what it is…hes even said hes 40 percent. unlike…herm picks, no pro bowls, ZERO, no alternates, no leaders in any catagories, no major signings that influenced the team in any way that wasnt downward.

6 wins in 2 years…Golf Clap all around. Bravo Bravo. And yeah Haley lost 2 preseason games, much like the same team that was 15-1, unlike the 0-16 lions who went 4-0.

glenn holt got cut by the vikes, he can KR and has talent, they may look at him.

“Joe Dimaggio was better known to later generations as the Mr. Coffee guy than one of the greatest players ever.”

- is a better known golfer than football coach. His handicap? When his lips start moving.

He never played the game – either one perhaps, really. Talk? Yup, he’s “full of it”, alright.

His work with the KC WR’s this year is the stuff legends are built on (and that coaches get fired for.)

He kept telling the guys to keep their eye on the ball but not to move their head…reason why they never line up right, can’t catch the ball & fall down alot. Really they are not so much WRs now as contortionists. Here’s a secretly recorded training camp coaching session:

“Alright… everybody take a knee in front of me. Ok, now stand up again. I want you to start with your head directly over the top your belt buckle then you must move your head over to your right shoe on the backswing- no wait, ‘check’ that – I mean when you make your cut.

“Keep your eye on the ball & your head perfectly still… if you start with your head more toward your right shoe than your belt buckle, you won’t need to move as much- er, you won’t fall down as much on your pass pattern. Now, ‘if you do’ find yourself falling remember – you’ll be closer to the ground and have a 2nd chance to nab the golf ball- NO WAIT, FOOTBALL! I MEAN FOOTBALL! before it hits the green – I MEAN TURF! Alright, that’s enough for now. Anybody have any questions?

Players: ~ crickets ~

Alright, anybody that can’t apply what I just taught you will have to run laps. LET’S GO! LET’S GO!! LET’S GO!!!

Agreed on Babin – an excellent player that & were too dense to resign. Came in late last year and actually was delivering a pass rush AND some sacks.

Gosh I’m glad we are doing so well this year with out & ‘with’ our new DE’s … the #1 pick as well the 2nd pick KC’s.

How many sacks is it they have rung up now? Huh? Que? Zippity do-dah?

Oy.

Keep bringing that stampede…

daddy-o

continue to ignore the village idiot, I enjoy the debates scott etc have…just ignore the guy with all the smilies and stupid negative chiefs hogwash

I think Copper is another veteran on the chopping block; he’s shown nothing running with the first team. I also don’t think Taurus Johnson will stick; Lawrence may make the squad if he can perform on special teams. Besides Bowe, I think Bradley, Toomer, Lelie, and Darling make the squad unless receivers are found elsewhere; as aPauled and others have mentioned, though, there will be some good recievers available as squads like the Giant, Panthers, and Eagles cut down to regular season numbers

Re: Babin, I’ve watched his preseason success with the Eagles. I think it’s based on the fact that he’s pretty much just a rush end in the Eagles 4-3 scheme, and he’s playing on a good enough D-line that he can’t be double-teamed. In the Chiefs scheme he wasn’t going to work as a lineman, and his coverage skills would have to have been developed for him to be a linebacker.

- I agree Bob G…he’s just making things worse, obviously. It’s clear – crystal – that he’s in over his #4 wood head. He’s in the sand trap… lost over in the rough…over and out…

0-16 the humanity!

“He coached the wide receivers for so long that he’s naturally drawn to whatever end of the field where the guys are catching balls.”

- ‘check’ must have also been ‘helping out’ with the offensive line – oh, and the kick return game to be sure. Why I bet before is done he’ll have also had his fingers in the. . .well, you’ll see!

Right. ‘check’

But enuf about one walking talking contradiction, let’s talk about two others in a rescue 911 sense – “Chicklets” & ‘Clippers” – KC’s newest secret weapon(s) ‘long the seeping dike they are a gonna help patch, shore up and lead to countless (as in winless) glories untold (will be none to tell) in 2009 – the coached ‘down’ more so than up offensive line and it’s latest ‘subtractions via additions” Alleman & Ndukwe, starring in “Saviors II.”

They’ve arrived…we are saved. Now playing on the second team in a drive-in theatre near you.

And that’s the way it is Thursday, August 27th, 2009. This is Rin Tin Tin – RTT Morning News – till my pen creates again!

That’ll do it for me. Enjoy.

You should be worried. Expect double or triple coverage schemes to take away D-Bowe since TG88 is gone and nobody else has stepped up in the passing game. I am worried that any team with half a good defense will simply take him out of the game and still be able to put 8 in the box.

He had 1 catch for 16 yards so far, that’s acclimated?? Um, why didn’t they bring in Harrison, after all he can run routes and catch the ball unlike engram and lelie…

Anyone else watching Babin excelling with the Eagles?? he looks like he is going to be getting on the roster and getting playing time with them, after the sack and forced fumble of Peyton Manning last thursday. The Chiefs should have resigned him he had some talent…

Teams like the Packers and Giants are going to be cutting WRs that could start as the #2 WR for the Chiefs. Sucks that the guys will be the last cuts who will then take time to learn our system.

The older WRs will probably be ready by the first game but Haley will have to make cuts based on what has not happened. Throw in a returner for special teams and WR is still broken and cannot get up.

And please don’t feed the animals!

It’s been said, correctly I believe, that WR is the toughest position to transition into from college right after the QB job. How much of that transition is needed when coming in from another team and having a demanding guy like Haley wanting excellence in all the phases of being an excellent WR?

Probably a tough assignment which is good for the future of the Chiefs. Running precise routes, executing blocking assignments, separating from the defender and oh yes, CATCHING the ball are skills that will either make team or miss the opportunity.

We all know Bowe is a lock. After that? It looks to be up for grabs in WR jobs 1-5 or 1-6 with two weeks before toe hits ball for real. Will at least one or more rook make the cut or will all 5-6 WRs be vets?

I think one rook makes it but wouldn’t place any money on that happening. One last thing: It’s refreshing to see a guy like Bowe not complain when called out by Haley and, instead, put his head down and work harder to get better.

My biggest worry, still, is not having an effective running game. If we can’t run the ball again, and HAVE to pass all the time…we could be in trouble. As long as we have balance, I think we’ll be fine.

As far as Toomer and Engram? I think once the games start for real…they’ll be ready to go. I don’t predict big numbers for either…but I think they’ll both make some big catches in clutch situations. And isn’t that pretty much what we brought them in here for?
