Sounds like Eric Hicks.

With all the negativity running wild over these hires it’s hard to believe any of you are Chiefs fans. Jesus H. Christ can we get through free agency and the draft before you all start throwing in the towel? Waaaa Waaaa Waaa. You guys are NEVER satisfied and I think that this is a wonderful transition from where we were not even 2 months ago. Chill the hell out and see what happens. It will be alright.
I think this could be a lot better YES but, I’m damn sure not pissed off about it. If we make the playoffs the same people will be back screaming positives out their ass. Relax take a chill pill and let’s see how this pans out – IT DAMN SURE CAN’T BE WORSE!

****.

I hate this time of year.

Haley's offense puts a premium on the vertical passing game.

There is no way in hell that they can watch film of Thigpen and reach the conclusion that he is the QB moving forward.

His accuracy beyond 10 yards is pathetic.

These coaching hires are not very inspiring, so if you have a problem with the negativity, then all I can say is, too ****ing bad.

seaofred · 02-17-2009, 08:35 PM

I for one think these are good hires. We have two former Coordinators on both sides of the ball. Both the defensive coordinators got their teams to the play-offs and won play-off games. Yes they had good offenses, but so did the Chiefs in 03.

how long did it take to get those players together?

and they were 15 seconds from winning the SB, i think it's fair to say they got alot out of them

Wilson has been there for 8 years. He'll be 30 next year
DRC is a rookie
Rolle is a 4th year guy
Dockett is a fifth year player
Dansby is a fifth year player
Berry is in his 12th year

That team gave up the following point totals last year:

56, 48, 47, 37, 35.

That's terrible given the talent on that defense.

Their ranks the last four years with Pendergast as D coordinator in points allowed:

28, 27, 29, 26.

That is pure suck.

Adrian Wilson is an absolute great player it's really to bad how many people don't even know about him.

Coordinators are assistant coaches, dumb ****. They didn't say position coaches.
