Reports: Chiefs hire Atlanta's Phil Emery as director of college scouting
 

Reports: Chiefs hire Atlanta's Phil Emery as director of college scouting

By PFW staff
April 30, 2009


The Chiefs have hired Falcons scout Phil Emery to be their new director of college scouting, multiple sources tell PFW.

Emery had been in Atlanta's personnel department for the past five years, working as both director of college scouting and a regional scout. Prior to that, he had a six-year stay as an area scout for the Bears and worked as a strength and conditioning coach in the Navy for eight years.

Emery should be familiar with the ways of Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, as he worked under Thomas Dimitroff — Pioli's understudy in New England — for the past 15 months. Emery brings a very thorough, militant scouting approach to his new club

In K.C., Emery replaces Chuck Cook, who was fired earlier this week. Cook had spent the past 25 years with the Chiefs, the last 12 as their director of college scouting, and is a well-liked individual around the league.

Chiefs Announce Changes and Retentions in Player Personnel Department
May 01, 2009, 1:11:09 PM


The Kansas City Chiefs announced several changes and retentions in the club’s Player Personnel Department on Friday. Phil Emery has been named the Director of College Scouting. Jim Nagy joins the club as a regional scout, while Jay Muraco and Pat Sperduto have been added to the Chiefs personnel staff as area scouts. In addition, Rod Perry has been promoted to the post of area scout.

The Chiefs also announced that Ray Farmer has been retained as the club’s Director of Pro Personnel. Willie Davis and Terry Delp have been retained by Kansas City in their roles as area scouts, as well.

Emery enters his 29th season overall in football and his 12th campaign in the NFL. He comes the Chiefs from the Atlanta Falcons after originally joining that club as Director of College Scouting in 2004. Prior to joining the Falcons, Emery enjoyed a seven-year stint as an area scout for the Chicago Bears (’98-04). Prior to entering the NFL ranks he served as Director of Strength and Conditioning Services and as an Associate Professor at the U.S. Naval Academy (’91-98). He also enjoyed collegiate coaching stints at Tennessee, Saginaw Valley State, Georgetown College, Western Michigan and Central Michigan.

Nagy enters his first season with Kansas City as a regional scout. Prior to joining the Chiefs, he spent seven years as a scout with New England (2002-08). He also served one year as a regional scout with Washington (2001) and served as the Director of NFL Scouting for War Room Scouting, Inc. (’98-01). Nagy also worked with SFX Sports Group as a recruiting coordinator and draft consultant (’97-00). The Frankfort, Michigan native began his NFL scouting career as an intern with Green Bay in ‘96.

Muraco joins the Chiefs as an area scout after spending the previous nine seasons with New England as College Scouting Coordinator (2000-08). Prior to working for the Patriots, he spent four seasons in the scouting department with Philadelphia (’96-99). He began his longtime association with Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli as a volunteer in the personnel department with Cleveland (’92-95). The Kent State graduate interned with the San Diego personnel department during training camp in ‘92.

Perry enters his second season with the Chiefs personnel department and his first as an area scout in 2009. He began his collegiate career playing football and baseball at Southern California, where he was a member of the Trojans NCAA baseball championship squad in ‘98. He concluded his collegiate career at Penn State. Perry was a 12th-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies and spent four years in the Phillies farm system. He was on the roster of the St. Louis Rams in 2004 as a wide receiver, served as a graduate assistant on the Wisconsin football staff in 2005 and interned in the Cleveland personnel department in 2007.

Sperduto enters his initial campaign as an area scout with Kansas City in 2009. He served two separate stints as the head coach of the Nashville Kats of the Arena Football League (’99-01 and 2005-07). During his tenure in the Arena Football League, he also worked in the Tennessee Titans personnel department as a scout. Sperduto won a pair of Arena League titles as a player with the Tampa Bay Storm. He began his association with Pioli when the two coached together at Murray State in ‘91.

Maybe because he isn't that fast. CNNSI has him as a 4.63 40 time.

Found a little info on some of the UFA's we added on CNNSI

DE Bobby Greenwood, Alabama (6'5", 278 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/43977.html
ANALYSIS: Greenwood is a hard-working defender who plays smart football. He lacks the size for defensive tackle and is not fast enough to be used at end. Greenwood could develop into a back-up two-gap lineman if he fills out his frame and improves his playing strength.

DB/WR Londen Fryar, Western Michigan (5'11", 185 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/21126.html
ANALYSIS: Fryar (son of Irving Fryar) has the bloodlines and athletic skills to be a big-time prospect and productive player at the next level. He's only shown skill in spurts on the college level, and he has been labeled by NFL scouts as someone who has his own agenda.

LB Pierre Walters, Eastern Illinois (6'4", 265 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...ool/index.html
Pierre Walters/DE/Eastern Illinois: Walters was a two-time all-America at EIU, making 23 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks since his junior season. He's likely to slip into the late rounds before being pursued by the San Diego Chargers and Cleveland Browns, who use a 3-4 alignment and project Walters as a rush linebacker.

WR Taurus Johnson, South Florida (6'1", 190 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/23269.html
ANALYSIS: Johnson has shown flashes of ability the past three years, yet he has never taken his game to the next level, even when afforded the opportunity. He offers potential as a fourth or fifth receiver at the next level, only if he picks up the pace of up his play this summer.

LB Jovan Belcher, Maine (6'3", 235 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/41354.html
ANALYSIS: Belcher has been a tremendous pass rusher in college, and he makes an inordinate number of plays behind the line of scrimmage. He has the size and speed to stand up over tackle at outside linebacker in the NFL, yet he must learn to diagnose the action and make plays in reverse.

OT Cameron Goldberg, Duke (6'4", 286 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/20983.html
ANALYSIS: Goldberg is a fundamentally sound offensive tackle, with a good degree of upside potential. He has a good feel for the position, and he is a solid developmental prospect who should just get better as he physically matures.

S Ricky Price, Oklahoma St. (6'1", 195 pounds)
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/40748.html
ANALYSIS: Price has the physical style that matches his size. He has a special teams mentality that will be his ticket at the next level.

CB Jackie Bates, Hampton (5'10", 172 pounds)http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...ers/11919.html
ANALYSIS: When healthy and at the top of his game, Bates displays himself as a solid cornerback who has the skills to be used as a dime back/special teams player in the NFL.

That's encouraging, though the dude needs to eat some pizzas or something.

Chiefs apparently bringing in Chase Patton this weekend - http://twitter.com/ChasePatton

Looks more like a 5 tech to me.

He could be interesting

"Strengths
Very good feet. Quick and nasty. Will hit you twice. Will dump a man, and then dump him when he tries to get up. Players much bigger than his listed weight. Does fine even if that weight is true. Good technician. Always inserts himself into situations and plays to the whistle. Cuts OK. Aggressive. Very good athlete for an offensive tackle. Fast.
Weaknesses
May be too small to play OT in the NFL, and lacks the bulk to move inside. He could possibly be looked at as a 3-4 DE candidate, as he has played there in the past. If he can add 30 pounds without giving up what makes him special he could play LOT, as his feet and attitude are what you need."

Thats what I'm thinking with that height.
