Interview with HE on 38 Sports Spot last night. - Page 6

Coogs · 03-07-2006, 03:48 PM

Anyone else see it?

If this has been discussed already, my bad. Just didn't see a thread about it. HE was on for the entire 30 minute segment. Jack Harry did the interview.

A few key points.

Edwards indicated we may rush the ball up to 10 more times a game to utilize our offensive line and RB better, plus keep the defense on the sideline longer.

The play action pass may be used more.

Plans to use the draft to build this team more than the FA route. Will take best athlete available weather it be offense or defense. Will not reach on a player in the draft.

Had other comments, but these were the ones I found interesting.

You should always take the BAA available because you never know where you're going to be in 3 years. Everyone hated the Larry Johnson pick now 3 years later we're building our team around him.

He's too small for a FB....

You also don't draft FB's atleast not very high. Alot of teams FB's were undrafted players.

Deangelo Williams won't be there when it is time for KC to pick.

I feel more than confident when I say this. I think he'll be picked within the top 20. For sure.

I am a believer in BAA as well. And my gut feeling says a lot of the top rated prospects will be gone when we pick. I still think Tamba Hali will be there when we pick, and FTR just say he is, then THAT definately should be our pick!

If Bunkley is still there at 20, which I think could be a possiblity, then it's a toss up between Hali and Bunkley. And no I don't think we should draft a CB in this draft. There are much better passrushers than DBs in this draft. And you know that I know and I know that you know, the road and journey to a successful pass defense starts with a good passrush. So, with that being said, we gotta go with what our hearts tell us, and that is draft a good quality passrusher. This draft is LOADED with them.

Which leads me to believe that is not a bad plan for this season.

And, it keeps Guns crew on the bench. That has to be a good thing, as everyone pretty much agrees the defense still sux.

So which is it? Draft BAA or don't draft a CB because we know what we need - a passrusher?

Luckily, I can't concieve of a scenario where CB will be BAA at #20.

Hmmm, maybe I'm just dumb, but I'm guessing Titus was kidding?

BAA...My gut feeling says it will be a passrusher. A DE.

But you still have badly contradicted yourself. BAA or team need? Personally, I'm a half breed, and have clarified as such. BAA is the way to go, but not if an obvious 'last-thing we need' presents itself, then you pass and look a next-BAA.

EDIT: You fixed your post, I was too late.

So what if CB is best on the board? What if RB is best on the board?
