Talk Chiefs with Arrowhead Pride

Buffalo wings are my favorite….Me and a couple buddies are always trying out new sauces and cooking them. Frying, baking, however you want it….it’s great. We’ve even ordered sauces from the internet before (called Def Con 1, 2 and 3).

Great question.

theres no way he gets moved. People thought he would be a bust switching over to DE in the 3-4 but he has actually showed up and been one of the better players on the defense this year even without a lot of sacks

Personally, I don’t believe that Todd Haley is “tempermental”, rather I believe he is passionate about his team. One thing I’ve liked about him is his willingness to immediately get on a player whom has made a bad mistake on the field. He tries to correct things immediately regardless of who it is.

A lot of internet "experts" and fans put LT at or near the top of KC’s list of offseason needs and a lot of mocks have you guys going OT. But the KC fans I’ve seen mostly don’t like the idea of going LT in the first round. How realistic of a possibility is LT in the first round?

The Chiefs have pretty bad offensive line so top OL available is a possibility. We spent a 1st round pick on LT Branden Albert in 2008 and he had a solid rookie year. This season, though, he’s regressed. I think you’ll see more and more fans opening up to the idea of drafting a tackle that is significantly better than Albert (if there is one) and moving him to guard (his college position).
We’ll see, though. I think it’s definitely realistic but there’s a long way to go.

Bernard Pollard seems to be doing pretty well in Houston, why did KC cut him and how are Mike Brown, Jon McGraw and DaJaun Morgan playing? I was a big fan of Morgan when he came out, does he still have a bright future?

Some reports have indicated that Pollard wasn’t the most disciplined and wouldn’t mesh with the environment Haley and Pioli are trying to create.

Mike Brown was signed in June, after being on the market for months. It’s showing why he was so available.

DaJuan Morgan doesn’t see much time. He was given an opportunity at to start at FS due to some injuries but was quickly back to his spot as 3rd team FS and SS. Not sure what’s up with him since he doesn’t see much time.

The Bills are getting some heat around here for the lack of production of first round DE, Aaron Maybin. Are Chiefs fans being patient with Tyson Jackson or are they questioning the pick?

A lot of folks are questioning the pick because they see DE and expect sacks. Except…Jackson won’t ever be a 10+ sack kinda guy. His role is a little different. Defensive linemen take a bit to develop so I think over at AP at least we’re patient with Jackson for the most part.

Like the Bills, the Chiefs have a lot of positions to try and upgrade this offseason. What are the fans thinking about the draft? Any momentum for taking Terrance Cody really, really early? Dez Bryant, or is WR not quite enough of a need? Will it be a little early for a sure thing like Rolando McClain? Eric Berry? I’ll assume it’s something of a best available in the 2nd and 3rd round, but are Chiefs fans focusing in on any specific position as their biggest need? 2nd biggest? And I know this is a ton of questions, but are KC fans as focused on the offseason as we are?

I’ll let someone with more knowledge of the draft answer this question.

And finally, what are the odds that Matt Cassel is the starting QB five years from now?

5 years? That’s a long time to predict but I think he’ll be here. That’ll make him 32 years old.

Tamba currently leads the team with 6.5 sacks if Im correct

He had 8 then 8.5 sacks. Then Allen left and Hali, along with the rest of the Chiefs defense, went to the toilet in 2008. He had 2.5 sacks.

This season, though, he’s got 6.5 sacks and is in the “predator” role in the Chiefs 3-4 defense. It’s supposed to open him up for some sacks. He’s been a bright spot on the Chiefs defense, I’d say. Especially when you consider he had never played without his hand on the ground.

Carl put together teams that made fans excited and made us think we could compete. But, over 20 years he never drafted a quarterback that could do it. And, even when we did get that quarterback (Trent Green), the defense was one of the worst in the NFL.

He could never put it all together but he did make football exciting in Kansas City again. Even if that was because of the head coaches (Schottenheimer, Vermeil), he still hired them.

Charles will be a superstar one day if he can keep ahold of the ball

History has clearly indicated that a player like LJ (High number of carries, 30 years old) doesn’t succeed very often…..and history was right.

UB? Canisius? Niagra?
What about Bona?
Syracuse too far away?

What’s wrong with the Cuse? They’re close enough and I live and die by them :D

To be honest I was not happy at the time we traded him b/c it was taking a legend and weapon away from Kansas City but now that I look at it Im glad we traded him b/c it gives us a chance to get another impact player in next years draft and I dont think we would of won many more games with him maybe one or two more. I do miss seeing 88 running around schooling people and dragging them downfield but it was time b/c he wanted out and we need to finish the rebuild.

He wanted to go play for a team that had a chance at a Super Bowl, but I think he’s found out that you can’t pick and choose the team that will.

The 2nd round pick keeps getting better every time the Falcons loose and we’ve collectively hope for the Falcons to loose every week. Like tomahawk stated it gives us a chance at grabbing a impact player for the future. Pioli’s managed to collect a pretty decent stash of picks for us next year.
