Consolation Prizes for the 2005 Kansas City Chiefs

[Hammock Parties]

Trent Green over 4,000 yards for the third year in a row with 4,014 yards!

Larry Johnson with a monster season. 1,750 yards and 21 total touchdowns.

Eddie Kennison posts his second consecutive 1,000 yard season. 68 catches, 1,102 yards and 5 TD.

Kawika Mitchell over 100 tackles for the first time in his career! Had a fine season with 105 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 interception.

Unfortunately...Trent Green loses the QB rating race with Jake Plummer. By one tenth of a point.

90.2 to 90.1.

Maybe, just maybe, these guys have finally learned the hard way that in the NFL you must take advantages of opportunities when they become available. You may get a second chance, or a third, but eventually your chances run out and your left with disappointment. That would be the best possible consolation prize.

Warfield and Sapp as nickel and dime backs are a good thing. Shields may be gone but Welbourn is a very very solid RG. Sampson should be back and he should be solid. Our offensive line will still be solid with Wiegman, Waters and Roaf on the left side.

2. Larry Johnson being the featured back. This guy was on pace to go for 2000+ yards with 30+ TD's had he been the starter all season. This guy will be an all-pro come next season. Watch out Jim Brown!

3. A new and defensive minded head coach. We got the personel to field a great offense but we must still run the modified Air Coryell offense. Defense needs to come back to Arrowhead. We've all seen signs of that happening, but it needs to be more consistent. A new HC that knows more about defense than a 4 year old is a good thing. Having a coach that isn't full of estrogen is a good thing. This team needs to be disciplined more, especially on defense.

4. The 3-4 defense. Bell should go back into his natural position and will thrive there. Mitchell is gonna be a monster next season as will DJ. Can Barber or Key Fox stay healthy?

5. Benny Sapp is the man and will continue to get better. His emergence as a good NCB will send McCleon packing.

Defense Defense Defense people!!!

At Arrowhead hasn't been the major problem, its whoever the hell shows up as our defense on the road.
