The average team loses 140 a year, not 340.

Get a talented O-line and QBs tend to survive at a higher rate. Don't start a quitter like Huard, etc., etc. Edit: Just back from the can. 1.7 lbs lighter. |

As far as the draft picks are concerned, I'm not going to "grade" them or give you a hard line on whether they'll be great or suck ass. Last year when it looked like we cleaned house and I was SURE we'd have a real rookie sensation, nobody really came to the forefront (minus Flowers, perhaps). At the very least, I'd like to finally see a Chiefs rookie who comes in his first year and performs at a high level game in-game out and is a true gamechanger. Besides, I don't believe you can adequately "grade" or evaluate a draft until 3-4 years have passed. That's why the Draft always pisses me off. Idiots flying off the handle after every pick.
As for Haley and the weight loss, hey.....it's good news. Of course, it's nothing that will make Chief fans swoon and dream of the Lombardi Trophy. However, it's nice to see Haley's whipping these lardbutts into shape and changing the attitude from a "group hug" Herm Edwards environ to a "do it this way or GTFO" setting. The Chiefs need to be babysat and whipped into shape. No more luvy-dubby bullshit.....kudos to Haley thus far. |

If I'm misunderstanding you, I apologize, but teams definitely do work on fundamentals even at the professional level. |

Haley is just putting into practice what he learned with the Cardinals. Whisenhunt brought in John Lott as strength and conditioning coach and most of the players played lighter than the previous year. Seemed to help with very few injuries and stamina at the end of the season for their remarkable playoff run.
We just have to watch out for Pendergast going into a prevent defense 50%of the plays. It didn't work for the Cards but they had the offensive firepower to score points to offset Clancy's horrid defensive schemes. No amount of weight loss will make up for bad coaching. |

The baseball analogy isn't 1:1, but the larger point is that professional players, generally speaking, have to have a decent/solid fundamental core to get to that level. Doesn't mean that you don't practice fundamentals, but you're not going to be too successful "teaching" it. Refining is the more applicable term. |
