Only one guy missed the OTA's this season. That's pretty remarkable. Even more so, when you consider the one guy missing isn't going to be on our team.

From what I understand, most, if not all the players are already in or at least preparing to be training camp ready.

Don't be such a sourpuss- this is the BEST offseason this team has had in a very long time.

I agree that all guys should be doing this sort of stuff in the offseason. Isn't Bowe doing some sort of camp with other receivers like Fitzgerald?

A lot of these guys, particularly the lineman do something in the offseason to prepare improve their physique and their game. I was just alluding to the fact that every member of our team showed up to to OTA's which is not mandatory and that shows a lot of character for a team.

I also thought I read somewhere that Waters was doing something like this too and I was reminded of this while watching the new documentary on the band, Rush, and how Neil Peart took drumming lessons from some guru a couple of years ago. Even Neil Peart, arguably one of the best drummers in rock, wanted to look for ways to improve his skills.

ya ... we glad to hear about Bowe working at the camp with Fitz etc.

first year i've hear of Bowe doing that though ... maybe he did and we just didn't hear about that. imo Bowe is a primo candidate for these type camps.

What's his new name? McLackLuster? McThirddownLuster?

Trying to stay ahead of the midseason nicknames to be given.

As strong as all the hate for Haley is on here I have to say I'm quietly becoming impressed with the direction Pioli and company are headed.

**the Talking Can** · 07-24-2010, 12:10 PM

it's insane the commitment it takes to be even an average nfl player....

**QuikSsurfer** · 07-24-2010, 12:33 PM

I loved the pick.. but i'm an ole miss homer

Thig Lyfe · 07-24-2010, 01:06 PM

I think it's pretty cool how players from different teams work out together and do these camps together. They're trying to up each others' game, and as a result the talent level of the entire league goes up, and games become that much more exciting and fun to watch. I mean, McCluster and Washington could very well end up going against each other in a real game situation, and McCluster will try to use what Washington taught him to beat him. That's a pretty cool aspect of the NFL that you never really think about.

Yeah, but I hope our guys don't help anybody from Denver or San Diego. Wait...that shouldn't be a problem.

Agreed. There seems to be a high level of respect among the guys who are willing to come and put in the extra work.

It's encouraging that we have guys on the team that are doing these kind of things, not because they have too... just because they want to.

ChiefMojo · 07-24-2010, 01:14 PM

In all honesty McCluster wasn't passed over by anyone. He actually went a basically half of a round earlier than expected. Most saw McCluster as a late 2nd guy and we took him early 2nd.

I liked the pick from the beginning. I say that because I felt he was a excellent football player regardless of measurements. What this team has been sorely lacking is a big number of playmakers and McCluster was one of the most dynamic playmakers in this draft. I'm not scared of his size one bit. I guess I've been in the dream world of thinking what it would be like if the Chiefs had someone like Darren Sproles or Percy Harvin on roster... now we have that type of player and I'm so excited to see him perform!

LaChapelle · 07-24-2010, 01:40 PM

It's a Chief's second rounder
come on
if he's stll on the team in 3 years it's a success

Sweet Daddy Hate · 07-25-2010, 06:17 PM

If he turns out to be a stud, no one will lament the passing over of LB's in this draft.
At least I won't. There wasn't anyone that great anyway.
