Did You Know? Kawika Mitchell..... - Page 2

I was reading my trusty KC Chiefs desktop calendar this morning. It says that while in college at South Florida, Kawika Mitchell was a two-time candidate for the Butkus Award as the nation's top lineback. You know, the same award that our new rookie LB, Derrick Johnson won. I didn't realize that KM was that recognized while in college. I think the kid has got some great talent and hopefully he'll show much more of it this year.

I think the difference will be, spending the summer having Gunther verbally beat the crap out of him and then rebuild his mind into a Terminator. He has always been talented, but now he has the mental capacity to lead. Gunther is the man-and spent a lot of time with Simms also. When you are eating and sleeping defense and have the best defensive mind in the game drilling ya, expect good things. It seems to me the coaches really looked at what they were great at, and have tailored plays to their style. Like letting Simms loose in the backfield where he can flop his fatazz on the QB a few times instead of looking lost on every play. Bartee as Saftey has seemed to pay off too-he was just not a covor guy-but has talent. Now if we would cut sad sack Warfield-time will tell. Halfcan
