RB De’Anthony Thomas looks forward to competing
By Herbie Teope (highlights) Minicamp participation Tight end Travis Kelce (knee) and wide receiver Kyle Williams (knee) were on the field for a second straight day. They participated in the individual position drills, appearing to run without limitations, before going inside as part of their rehabilitation treatment. Joining the trio was wide receiver Weston Dressler, who returned to individual position drills after missing the first day of minicamp with a hamstring injury. Minicamp observations • Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe made a full-extension leaping grab on a pass from quarterback Alex Smith during 11-on-11 drills. Bowe’s catch immediately drew a clearly audible “oohs” from his teammates on the sidelines. • The Chiefs continue to shuffle the right side of the offensive line in one of the most fluid situations of the offseason. Rookie Zach Fulton saw time at right guard with the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills for a second straight day. Obviously, that scenario is subject to change once the team reports to training camp. Rishaw Johnson also saw time at right guard on a rotating basis with Fulton. • Another day and yet another attention-grabbing catch from tight end Demetrius Harris, who turned in a leaping catch from quarterback Tyler Bray. Free safety Sanders Commings was defending on the play. • With Sean Smith absent with an illness, Marcus Cooper continued to fill in at right cornerback with the first team during 11-on-11. Ron Parker took Cooper’s spot at left cornerback, while Chris Owens defends the slot. • Cornerback Ron Parker drew a flag from an official for pass interference on a play when he failed to turn his around to look for the football. He ran into wide receiver Donnie Avery during a pass from quarterback Alex Smith. Officials have been present during minicamp. • Quarterback Tyler Bray had two memorable throws on Tuesday. The first went to tight end Demetrius Harris, and the other went to wide receiver Jerrell Jackson deep on the right sideline. • Quarterback Chase Daniel threw a perfect deep pass during 9-on-7 drills when he found wide receiver Donnie Avery for a touchdown. • Quarterback Aaron Murray continues to show confidence in his surgically repaired left knee. On one play during 11-on-11 drills and with the pocket collapsing, Murray tucked the ball and didn’t hesitate to take off down the right sideline. • Quarterback Alex Smith found wide receiver Frankie Hammond deep during 11-on-11 drills for what would’ve been a touchdown in a real game. Hammond beat Marcus Cooper on the play. • Free safety Sanders Coming intercepted an Alex Smith pass intended for Donnie Avery during 11-on-11 drills. • Rookie outside linebacker Dee Ford ran with the first-team defense for a second straight day at Justin Houston’s spot. |

Chiefs Wrap-Up Mini-Camp & Off-Season
by Bob Gretz The New York Giants, Washington Redskins and San Diego Chargers all saw their head coach cancel the third practice of their mini-camps on Thursday. No such luck for the Chiefs, although Andy Reid did shorten up the final practice of the off-season. It was held indoors because of the wet conditions on the practice fields and other than a lengthy session of the 7-on-7 passing drill, there was not a lot of offense vs. defense in the session. However, like his head coaching compatriots with the Giants, Redskins and Chargers, Reid was pleased with the work his coaching staff and team got done since the end of March. “We added a few things on both sides of the ball and on special teams and I thought they handled it well,” Reid said. “There was some recall from (last) season and with the new things, they took it all in and worked hard on it. That’s a good feeling that we were able to add to our packages. All and all it was a good offseason.” It was certainly different than a year ago, when Reid was in his first Kansas City season after 14 years in Philadelphia. Last May and June “every day was a new day” according to the head coach. Much more work was accomplished in this year’s off-season program. All in all, the Chiefs had a three-day rookie mini-camp, 10 OTA practices and the three seasons in the mini-camp. With that on-field work came hours of meetings and time in the weight room and with physical conditioning. Reid has decided it’s been enough, and Thursday was the final day for everyone in the building, coaches and players. NFL rules allow the rookies to spend another two weeks at the team’s facility, where they can work individually with coaches. But Andy says they’ve seen enough. “There isn’t much more we can do with them; they got plenty of reps to function in training camp,” Reid said. So the coach sent them on their way with three standard coaching messages: stay out of trouble, don’t eat too much and keep working out. Notes from the final mini-camp practice: – Thursday morning the Chiefs released defensive end Chas Alecxih. The first-year player out of the University of Pittsburgh did not appear to fit with what Reid and the defensive staff were trying to do with the defensive line. That dropped the roster to 88 players and more than likely telegraphed roster additions, possibly from among the four tryout players that were part of the mini-camp. – For the last practice there were 82 players on the indoor field working with the coaching staff. Injuries sidelined running back Joe McKnight (knee), offensive tackle Donald Stephenson (calf), inside linebacker Ben Johnson (hamstring), cornerback Phillip Gaines (ankle) and cornerback Sean Smith (illness). None of those injuries or maladies was considered serious. – Also not working in Thursday’s practice was outside linebacker Justin Houston, continuing his boycott of the off-season program, apparently in hopes of finalizing a more lucrative contract extension. Since he’s under contract for 2014, the Chiefs can fine Houston for missing the mandatory camp. Absence from the third practice is a potential fine of $34,730 and that would bring his total fine if the Chiefs decide to clip him for missing three days to $69,455. – Even though Thursday’s practice was the shortest of the three mini-camp workouts, the Chiefs showed their readiness to do something other than the touch football they are forced to play under NFL labor rules. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was knocked down after catching a pass in the end zone and appeared to land on a knee. Bowe quickly bounced up, but showed a bit of a limp as he walked off the field. |

Chiefs put minicamp in the books
by Herbie Teope (highlights) Minicamp observations • Unlike past days where media observed virtually two-plus hours of 11-on-11 and 9-on-7 drills, Thursday’s media observation early. The portion observed was mostly stretching, individual position drills and a 9-on-7 segment. • Prior to the start of practice, the Chiefs announced the release of defensive tackle Chas Alecxih. The Chiefs’ offseason roster currently sits at 88 players, two shy of the league maximum allowed of 90. • Quarterback Alex Smith found wide receiver Dwayne Bowe along on the right corner of the end zone during goal line work. Looked like a miscommunication between the defensive backs. • Kickers Ryan Succop and Cairo Santos took turns booming kicks from beyond 40 yards, moving back in 5-yard increments. A lot of kicks, especially from Santos, hit the wall, which is roughly an additional 10 yards from the back of the end zone. • Wide receiver Kyle Williams extended and hauled in a pass with his fingertips in stride during goal line work. |

He has no consistency with his accuracy. He is essentially a less fragile brodie croyle. I think Murray is going to leap frog him, and possibly even Chase Daniel. |

Have you been watching OTAs? If you have, then I apologize for asking. If you have not, then how can you speak about his accuracy in the present tense?

Favre's problems had more to do with decision making than anything to do with his accuracy. He trusted his arm too much at times, thus the record INTs thrown in a career.

You always heard that Favre was "pumped with adrenaline", or "needs to calm down" during that period too.
