Teicher: McBride removed from injury list
Chiefs notebook: McBride removed from injury list McBride removed from injury list If their latest injury report can be believed, the Chiefs will have one of their starting defensive ends available for Sunday’s game against New Orleans at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs removed Turk McBride, who has a sore shoulder and didn’t play last week in San Diego, from their injury list. Of course, the information might not be airtight. Last Thursday, the Chiefs removed cornerback Brandon Flowers from their injury report only to list him again on Friday. He didn’t play against the Chargers. The other starting defensive end, Tamba Hali, has an injured ankle. He didn’t practice Thursday and is unlikely to play against the Saints. Linebackers Pat Thomas (hamstring), Derrick Johnson (hamstring) and guard Adrian Jones (ankle) also were unable to practice. They are also unlikely to be available against the Saints. Flowers (hamstring), running back Jamaal Charles (ankle), safety Jarrad Page (groin) and cornerback Patrick Surtain (quad) were limited in practice but have a better chance to play. Classic mismatch? The Saints have the league’s top team in total offense and are eighth in the league in scoring. The Chiefs are 32nd and last in yards allowed and 27th in points allowed. Chiefs coach Herm Edwards wasn’t buying into the notion that those statistics prove Sunday’s game to be one between an irresistible force and a movable object. “I don’t worry about that,” Edwards said. “I look at the last three games. We’ve improved, and that’s what you’ve got to go on. We’ve played like that, taken the ball away, stopped the run. We’ve got a chance to be in all of the football games. We’ve been in every football game doing that.” The Chiefs allowed 400 or more yards and 20 or more points in each of the last three games. Blackout streak lives another week The Chiefs announced they had sold enough tickets to allow Sunday’s game to be locally televised. It will be shown this week on WDAF, Channel 4. The Chiefs haven’t had a blacked-out home game since 1990. |

The thing about battling adversity is, will it break him? Or, will he suck it up, march the team down the field and score the winning TD? Thigpen is playing well, and I hope he will turn out to be the guy. But, to be the guy, he has to prove he won't crumble every time he makes a mistake. This is my major problem with Herm's offensive philosophy. He gets so conservative so that, in his mind, his team can't fail. When in reality, all he's doing is slowing the maturation process and stunting all of these kids' growth. How can all of these kids learn to stand up and make a play when the game's on the line, if they're never given the opportunity to? |

One thing I can say is, the kid has come a long way being a 7th rounder, and a 3rd string QB from Coastal Carolina. Its gonna take time to make a good judgement on him. I just hope that he stays healthy and keeps doing what hes doing. And Thats thing is having a guy consistently back there, and the Chiefs didn't have that earlier in the year because Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard got hurt. Im with you on Herm's philosophy. Very few people are fans of conservatism. I agree it stunts the grow of younger players. However, these last couple of weeks were starting to see a little more creativity in the playcalling. And were starting to see the likes of Thigpen and Bradley. I think Gailey is a playmaker. And right now what he is doing is working well with the players I just hope it continues and works well not only now but down the road. |
