K.C. Chiefs Training Camp Daily Updates
After practice the rookies stayed after for nine-minutes to run eight plays. Quarterback James Kilian was eight-eight in the extra session of 11-on-11's. Running back McKenzi Smith received two hand offs. Running back Ronnie Cruz received a hand off for a run to the right. Running back Dee Brown received a pass for ten-yards. Running back Samkon Gado received two hand offs and caught one. One handoff Gado completed a great 30-yard run. Afterwards Coach Vermeil had encouraging words for Gado, "Sam your hot, you got a streak going. Momentum!" Quarter back James Kilian faked a hand off and ran the ball.

Defense
Linebacker Keyaron Fox practiced on the right side of the defensive line this morning. Coach Dick Vermeil said that he wanted him to be able to work both sides, so that if a linebacker is injured during the season, Fox will be able to cover both sides. Other linebackers will also soon follow suit. Vermeil said that Fox has been in the system long enough to handle this change and has been working hard at both summer camp and the off-season program.

I've read a few of these training camp reports, and I'm wondering if they are counting hand-offs as completions when they say Kilian was 8 for 8. It seems like they put that 8 for 8 or whatever number out there and talk about a lot of running plays and a couple of pass plays.
I appreciate getting updates, but I wonder if any of these writers have a working knowledge of football especially when they talk about things like Fox lining up on the D-Line.
