Now.


I think he just dropped "shitload" in his response, though he kinda mumbled it and it sounded like &ldquo;sheee-t-load."


Thread title change

Sheetload is a turn in BBQ-ing it means when you fry up ribs on a wax paper sheet roll. A sheet roll is ususally beef ribs and Rib tips.

talking about bray

reid is pretty easy going in interviews

His closing line about hiding cheeseburgers in the Tommy Bahama shirts was pretty funny.

Good interview getting his opinion on the players the Chiefs drafted. Soren asked a lot of good questions about many of the players past issues.

well, what did he say?

The Program ‏@theprogramkc12m
Reid says QBs have to fit into scheme and be able to understand how you teach. Says Bray's throwing skill is exceptional but needs to work

keep that Bray hype coming in interviews please. Nobody cares about Alex Smith

Ahh, I'm getting through the airport and grabbing my bags, so I totally didn't clearly hear the context.


Liked his comments on Bray and saying he sat down and spent quite a lot of time with him and was pretty blunt about what he can do as well as where he needs to and is expected to man up and no longer going to have the same old excuses to fall back on.

Seemed like he was excited at the thought of grooming him, and Tyler would be given the full opportunities if he was as committed to learning as Andy was in teaching him. Sort of gruff in the sense of, this is your chance and if you **** around or can't/ won't take it seriously he had very little interest or patience in giving him extra slack or 3rd and 4th chances. At the same time he kinda had this fatherly approach in that he would be excited to take Tyler under his wing and teach him what it takes to fully realize his gifts to become a top level pro QB.


Last part he was taking about his love for Tommy Bahama shirts because you can " both wear the and smuggle a couple cheeseburgers in them."

He said they were going to home depot for a dozen garbage cans for the receivers to run routes with so tanney will feel comfortable and hit them in stride

Also very high on Davis talent, and said he felt he was easily on of the top RBs in the draft, and simply said he's going to continually hear about the importance of protecting the ball, and putting in his time lifting and working out to avoid the injuries otherwise he'd have no problem limiting his touches or seeing the field...

He phrased it better and it was refreshing to hear him not dance around it with coach speak, and mentioning that these were issues we were blunt with the guys they drafted about discussing and very interested in their responses because they didn't want to deal with players making excuses and were willing to take responsibility instead of pushing the blame around on their teammates.

Great interview. Pretty obvious that the Chiefs did their homework on the draft picks. I was impressed with the level of research they did. Reid knew a lot of detail on the players, both on-field & off-field. Stuff that us armchair GM's would not be privy to or just wouldn't have the resources to investigate. Left me even more confident about where this franchise is headed under Reid/Dorsey. Can't wait to see what this team looks like on Sept 8th. Anyone going to Jax for that game?

Q

Petro springing for the snacks?

Blasphemy!/CP

Is there a link to listen to this?

stationcaster.com/player_skinned.php?s=26&c=373&f=1356351

You didn't see the thread about it?

Thanks for the info, guys.

Good stuff.

Ya know...somebody should make an official thread for use when the Chiefs are talked about on tv or the radi...something to bump...

Well if someone will change this thread title, I think this one works and then start a fresh one right after the draft each year.


Maybe the title should be:

___ talks with ___... *** Official KC players & personnel media interviews ***

Per Soren Petro

#Chiefs *HC Andy Reid says Knile Davis can contribute and rotate in right away. Says he could be the most talented RB in draft.

That's funny because I sent him an email earlier today about Davis and some got a reply back saying he liked it and planned on bringing up what I wrote and information linked about the guy...

Guess he's getting people's curiosity up to discuss it.

He could also end up just like Moekei. He should some flash, but his college injury concerns have come to fruition.

If those two can't stay healthy as back ups or rotational players they're ****ed...

see below.



Ya, definitely is a red flag, but can we not piss away any or all hope just yet that maybe they hit on the pick.

I simply ask that out of my own selfish desire after watching tape on the guy and envisioning what awesome damage a 230lbs burner with a 6th gear could do to opposing defenses if he panned out.

Absolutely, I don't question his potential. Just wonder if that potential couldn't be had later.

I have to say...I love the confidence John Dorsey placed in his coaching staff with the players we took.

Almost all of them have a real bust factor, but for reasons that coaching can prevent. They also have a huge BOOM potential.

If these picks work out the way these guys planned, this is gonna be a fun team to watch again.

Heard that mentioned too earlier today and agree. Some added risk but it could potentially have a huge payoff... at this point and with little financial cap hell worries thanks to the new rookie pay scale, it may be smart to become more embracing of risk reward picks.

There was a discussion talking about the the trend in the NBA to emphasis on 3 pt shots - which has seen the value of big men decline so much and the lack of as many true centers in the league. Point being. Even though you're taking a lower % shot (higher risk) the point differential if you as a team can shoot around 38% from take the 3 vs. a surer high % 2pt shot (greater reward) against say a more traditional lineup that relies on a majority of their scoring from inside the arc then even though you're success rate may be lower you have actually picked up the equivocal of an additional 4-10 possessions per game. In addition having long range shooters and your forwards that can step out and shoot it effectively neutralizes a lot of the post height advantage by forcing their bigs to have to step out to guard their taller guys able to make those perimeter shots which means you free up the lanes for your guards to penetrate and get to the basket.


Hope that's not confusing - my point being is there may be validity to rethinking how you draft when you can gamble on potential guys now that it doesn't spell certain salary cap hell.

Andy may be smarter than I thought. If he had NO words about Alice Smyth, trying to sell that useless bag of shit, then he's clearly in touch with reality.

Mega threads suck.

Well, not for my productivity. I read far less here because of them.

It's good to be able to find the glass half full perspective.

I liked our draft- maybe I am the only one- but it seems like they picked some pretty tough kids that like to Block and Hit.

All the signs point to a power run game. Yes it is old school but it is the Best way to keep high powered offenses off the field. You dont have to worry about Manning and Welker if they are on the bench watching Our running game destroy them 5 - 7 yards at a time.

Why is Alex a bag of shit- he has not even thrown one pass for us- jeez-lol :rolleyes:

True, I won't even click on one anymore......which in turn has kept me off of CP most of the time.

So, Alex Smith= Mega Thread?

I like how seemingly open he is. It reminds me of Vermeil in the old "can't make the club in the tub" days. Particularly liked his comments on Commings.

It is an interesting draft, because so much of it is based on potential. It is as if they said "This draft is completely lacking in wow players, so let's grab guys with great ability and coach them up." I can tell you with last year's staff, it would have been a disaster. Reid obviously has confidence in himself and his coaches, and he pretty much pointed that out when speaking about Bray, in terms of (and I'm paraphrasing) "look, you've got me, you've got smart offensive minds, guys who have been players (IE Pederson, Nagy) and intelligent offensive minds (Childress) that you better take advantage of when you get in here, and you've got a good QB room with great examples of how to put the work in to be a pro (Smith, Daniel)."

We shall see how this turns out. He said the reason Davis fell to the bottom of the third is because there was that injury question, but that he feels he has first day talent. And Nico Johnson went there because they started seeing a run on a bunch of linebackers around that time, and they had about 5 or 6 grouped in there, and they liked Johnson and if they didn't take Johnson, no one would be left.

And he's really, really high on the center...

Because it fits their narrative.

I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that we're switching to a power running game. When has Reid ever implemented a power running game? This draft didn't show us much of anything about scheme, but it did show us that type of players that this new regime looks for.

Thats what I want; a coach that gets "really high" on big impact positions like Center!

I thought the draft was much more about the passing game and protecting Alex Smith.

As far as Alex Smith not having thrown any passes for us, it's more about the 2100 passes he threw before he came here. Some of us think that defines who and what he is, and should have defined his trade value. Obviously Andy Reid disagrees. And that's fine, but I don't see a reason to apologize for having very little faith that Alex Smith at 29 can suddenly turn into something he's never been.

If you have watched Oakland dominate our offensive interior the last few years, you'd note that Center is a big impact spot for us. Our OL has been soft, and our centers undersized. There's a reason we can't beat the Raiders anymore...

I don't think anyone needs to apologize by any means. I seriously doubt that anyone ("true fans" included) is completely confident that Alex is the long-term answer.

My complaint is just that a ton of Chiefs threads lately have been completely derailed by people beating that same dead horse over and over again rather than discussing the topic. We get it - Alex Smith sucks. But it's a done deal, so let's start talking about what the team can do to try and make him be successful as possible.

I admit, I was one of the more overreactors on this draft at first. After watching tape I'm good with everything except the FB in round 6, if you're taking on Bray why not Da'Rick Rogers WR?

This

In a way it did show us a scheme. Reid used Westbrook on swing passes out of the backfield but that isn't Jamaal's game. Every highlight of the TE shows him catching a pass the flat.
