You have players like Fitzy, Warner and Boldin talking about how great it was to play for Haley and here is Petro whining because we let go fo a TE that didn't want to be here, cut a cancer on the field at Saftey, cut a cancer in the lockerrom in LJ and didn't treat Waters like he is anything great because he rode the coattails of Roaf.

This.

The TG trade I'll always stand behind - it was a good move getting a 1st day pick for a guy that plays a complementary position and was only planning on playing another year or two.

His points about Pollard, DJ and Bowe are dead on, and I can understand why people would be rubbed the wrong way by his initial handling of Waters and the subsequent comments made about winning 2 games with 22 guys off the street.

DJ seems to make plays every time he's on the field, yet promptly goes back to the bench after.

My thoughts on Bowe have been covered.

He has some valid points.

"DJ makes plays and then goes to the bench".

Of course he does.

"ROR, why do you bag on Petro? He's teh best in KC"!!!




Angry, don't give a ****, east coast-type sports jock for covering this franchise please...

DJ may be an underachiever compared to his draft status, but he's still the best LB we have on the team.

The best players should be playing.

What cracks me up is Petro talking up DJ saying that he forced a fumble in the game Sunday. No he didn't, he hit the ball out of Holt's hand with his knee falling down.
How is that forcing a fumble? It's not intentionally forcing a fumble.
Go scrape the other nodule off your throat from talking shit you dumbass!

Prior to the addition of Brown, I think most of us felt this team was in pretty good shape in the secondary, compared to the other segments. It was about the only positive legacy that Herm left IMO. When Herm took this team over, the secondary was pathetic and had been for a while.

Now, they kick a recent 2nd round pick to the curb, in favor of Mike Brown? The same Mike Brown that was let go by the Bears. Why would they do that?

The only plausible explanation, it has to be something like leadership and creating a better climate for building this team. I have seen this same thing happen in the corporate world, short term, sometimes who have to let go of stars, or potential stars to create and atmosphere for team accomplishment.

I know they keep on saying they are trying to win now, and they probably are to an extent. But, I think the Vrabels, Goffs, etc. were brought in as stop gaps, so the atmosphere could be changed.

Oh, and I have no, none experience with football, but in the corporate world, any disrespect of leadership or direction by one of the "players" needs to be dealt with swiftly and firmly.

Pollard whiffed too many tackles and was shitty in coverage.

Thank you very much for the thought out response.

The idea that this is working is funny, players are regressing, there is no progress being shown.90% of the playcalling looks like it has to do with protecting Matt Cassel so he doesn't look bad instead of winning games.

And you better care what players think because this team does not offer top dollar in FA so if they all think the Chiefs have a regime they don't want to play for good luck getting anyone to play here.

i will say though I see more of an effort in the players when Herm was here compared to Haley.
