Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis set to make first start
Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis set to make first start
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star Romeo Crennel hasn’t yet made the declaration, but free safety Kendrick Lewis said he would start Sunday for the first time this season in the Chiefs’ game against the Buccaneers in Tampa, Fla. “I’m back this weekend,” Lewis said. “I’m saying that. Coach hasn’t put his stamp on there but I’m feeling good and I’m feeling confident to go out there and help my team and I’m ready if he allows me to.” Lewis injured his shoulder in the preseason and hasn’t played since. He returned to practice weeks ago but only this week has he been working with the starters. Crennel has indicated that Lewis would play when the Chiefs believed he could handle the contact. But he acknowledged there’s no way to know that from practice alone. “There’s no real hitting,” Crennel said. “It’s one of those things where you really don’t know until you get to the game and he gets to play.” Lewis said he’s been looking for contact wherever he can find it. “In practice I’ve (run) into a couple of guys, collided, (hitting) before practice to challenge myself to gain the confidence I need going forward’’ he said. “I build confidence every day. “Right now, my shoulder is feeling better than it has since I hurt it.” Change at quarterback Don’t look for the Chiefs to change much of what they do offensively because of the quarterback change from Matt Cassel to Brady Quinn. They will again rely heavily on their running game, though maybe not to the extent they did in last week’s game. They Chiefs tried 51 running plays and 17 passes against the Ravens last week. The Chiefs are third in the league in rushing attempts, an unusual statistic for a 1-4 team that hasn’t led for so much as a single second during a game. Crennel said Cassel and Quinn have similar skill sets. “They both can throw the ball,” Crennel said. “They’re both tall quarterbacks. They’re both experienced. The thing that Matt has is more game time. That’s the biggest difference. “Quinn has been in the league and he’s been on different teams and he’s seen other operations and how things are done. I think he’s excited about this opportunity that he’ll get and I think he’ll make the best of it.” Injury report Jon Baldwin’s availability for Sunday’s game went into doubt when he was listed by the Chiefs as not practicing. Also not practicing for the Chiefs was running back Cyrus Gray, who was sick. The only other change was the declaration that Cassel won’t play. Running back Peyton Hillis (ankle), defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey (calf) and wide receiver Devon Wylie (hamstring) did not practice. Center Ryan Lilja (back) and running back Shaun Draughn (ankle) were listed as limited practice participants. Lewis, defensive lineman Ropati Pitoitua (elbow) and defensive back Jalil Brown (hamstring) were listed as full participants. |

Wow, Coach is usually pretty laid back. I used to MOD over there but got sick of the homerism. Especially from Dave.
