We will also agree to disagree about Gailey. He is just not a very good OC.
I don't think this team will do much on offense either running or passing. I think Charles provides the best option running as long as he can hold onto the ball and stay healthy.
I like Haley and his style. If you would have read an article someone posted this past week where the new coaching staff noticed how last year this team got fatter and lazier as the season wore on is every indication that Herm was a disaster as a head coach. So I am glad Haley is here to run there asses off and make them leaner and tougher because we are going to need it when the games are close in the 4th quarter

Both Haley and Cassel were at least partly the product of their surrounding casts last year. I hope we can agree on that. I was not in favor of hiring Edwards back in '06. I learned at first to accept him and then to like him as a person although I didn't agree with much of his football decisions, especially that awful Cover Who scheme. He had to go young in '08 (although I think he went way overboard as the '08 Chiefs had more rookies than any other NFL squad) as the DV Chiefs were purty senior and getting moreso.
I agree that more discipline can only help this team. In the Army we have a saying: in trying to build tough Warriors, there's a thin line between hard and stupid. I am sure you have seen Band of Brothers. CPT Schobel was stupid. LT Winters was hard. Let's hope Haley can be hard without being stupid.
