Interview with HE on 38 Sports Spot last night. - Page 5

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.

The top performing player taken at the top of the draft by the Chiefs in recent memory is Larry Johnson, an offensive player that they took when defense was clearly the most pressing need. While it's true that that hasn't been enough to win a superbowl, where would the Chiefs be now if they didn't have LJ? By contrast, they took Junior Siavii to address their glaring DT need in '04 and we all know how that's turned out so far. If a Derrick Johnson falls to them this year then hell yes, pick a defensive player. But if they have the choice against a stud offensive lineman or a defensive lineman who is a reach, I say take the stud. All else being equal, take the player at the position of most need where we have the least potential already on the roster.

It should ALWAYS be best available player...reaching, as KC consistently does, is a huge mistake. Drafting for need is also a mistake, because I think teams that are desperate for a position will 'build up' a player, in their minds, that really isnt all that good.

BAA, to a point. Say Deangelo Williams is BAA @20, then I certainly think you bypass that one and look to the next best.

With that in mind, in my opinion, only OT and WR should be selected @20 over a defensive player. QB wouldn't necessarily disturb me, with Green getting up there, but there just won't be the value at 20.

What position does Williams play?

RB, often rated as the 2nd best behind Bush. but there is a lot of disagreement b/n Williams, LenDale White, and Lawrence Mulroney, so it's quite possible he's still there at 20.

Yeah Yeah I know we took LJ when we already had Priest, and that has turned out to be huge!! But this is a very different situation. Priest had big ?'s at that point, and those ?'s are even bigger today. Not many ?'s with LJ, not on the field anyway. RB in round 1 should be the absolute furthest thing from our board, even if the BAA board has 1 sitting on top when we're up.

Dunno...even with Priest as backup, I'd still strongly consider him.

In that case, maybe the best course of action would be to entertain trade down offers.

I agree. I'm a BAA believer too.

DeAngelo Williams > Reggie Bush

Perhaps we dont necessarily disagree after all.

True...consider this: Maybe KC could convert Williams to FB.
