Chiefs Concern

Here's a rundown on Kansas City Chiefs news for those of you interested:

  • You could probably name the Head Coach (Herm Edwards) but can you name the Offensive Coordinator? The man making the calls on offense will be Mike Solari, the long term offensive line coach. He says there won't be much in the way of change, keeping the same offense the Chiefs have been running for awhile now.
  • Priest Holmes might be placed on the Phisically Unable to Perform (PUP) list this summer, giving Holmes as long as possible to determine if he is going to be able to play. There is a real good chance that Holmes will play very little, if at all, considering how good Larry Johnson is.
  • The Chiefs withdrew their request for a Superbowl in 2015. The team didn't get the rolling roof it wanted and without a climate controlled stadium there is little chance the NFL would go to a cold weather site for the mid-winter Superbowl.
  • The Chiefs are looking to sign former offensive tackle bad boy turned tight end Kyle Turley. A former first round pick with the Saints and Rams, Turley sat out the last few seasons with back trouble. But after losing some weight and feeling better, Turley could be serve as a third tackle or backup left tackle if he puts some weight back on.
  • DE Tamba Hali, the Chiefs first pick worked with the first team in mini camp. He seems to be very impressive.
  • For the first time in a long time (when was it that Rich Gannon left?) I feel optimistic about our backup QBs. Two young guys, Brodie Croyle and Casey Printers, are showing some signs of life. Croyle, the rookie, is probably more polished and capable, while Printers is the more physically gifted of the two. I'd love to see both of these guys make the squad and continue their development.
