Chiefs Notebook:Baldwin may be bigger part of game plan Sunday
Baldwin may be bigger part of game plan Sunday
By RANDY COVITZ The Kansas City Star Chiefs wide receiver Jon Baldwin could be a bigger part of the game plan on Sunday at Buffalo, said offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Baldwin, who was a standout during training camp, saw limited action in last week’s season opening loss to Atlanta and was not the target of any passes. Daboll said Atlanta’s two-deep zones were more favorable for throwing to the tight ends in the middle of the field as opposed to throwing to wide receivers on the sidelines. “Each week is a different week with different defenses that guys face,” Daboll said. “Sometimes there are spots in the middle of the field that we’re working a little bit. The tight ends had some passes; (slot receiver) Dexter McCluster had some passes.” Indeed, McCluster caught a team-leading six passes; tight end Tony Moeaki had three; and tight end Kevin Boss had two catches, including a 22-yard touchdown on a post pattern. “Sometimes there’s more single (safety coverage) where you work outside,” Daboll said. “You don’t want to force issues. There are different formations you can use to move around guys. We were in a little bit no huddle and going fairly quick. “Jon has had a positive attitude throughout camp. He had a positive attitude after this game. We’ll see what happens this week.” Daboll returns home Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was born across the border from Buffalo in Welland, Ontario, but grew up in Buffalo, attended St. Francis High School in Buffalo and started for two seasons at safety at nearby University of Rochester. Best of all, as an assistant at New England (2001-06), New York Jets (2007-08), Cleveland (2009-10) and Miami (2011), his teams are 8-3 in games at Buffalo. “It’s good to go home,” Daboll said. “But we’re going there for a reason.” As a teenager, Daboll was a big fan of the Bills’ four Super Bowl teams during 1990-1993. “Those were some fun years when the team was winning,” Daboll said. “They had good support. I have fond memories from back in the day when I was a youngster.” Pioli appointed to council Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is one of 13 appointees by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Advisory Council. The concept was introduced by the late Bill Walsh to expose minority college coaches to the NFL’s methods and philosophies. The 13-member council comprised of club presidents, general managers, head coaches and assistant coaches will focus on developing a pipeline of minority coaches, including former NFL players pursuing opportunities in the coaching profession. “It is imperative we continue to create opportunities, not only in coaching but in every other aspect of the league,” Pioli said. “This fellowship program is important as long as we continue to teach and mentor individuals with one basic premise in mind, to educate.” Draughn fined Chiefs running back Shaun Draughn was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness against Atlanta during Sunday’s loss at Arrowhead Stadium. Draughn got into a pushing match with Atlanta’s Christopher Owens in the fourth quarter. Bills’ Dareus ‘focused’ Buffalo defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, who missed one day of practice to be with his family in Alabama after the murder of his younger brother in a triple shooting last weekend, will play on Sunday against the Chiefs. “I got caught up with everything and got acclimated with the game plan,” Dareus told reporters in Buffalo. “I am focused. I know I have a lot of things going on off the field, but I am here and ready to play. I have 60-more brothers here and ready to support me as well.” Injury update The Chiefs said nose tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle), safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder), and defensive lineman Allen Bailey (ankle) were limited in practice on Friday, while wide receiver Devon Wylie (hamstring) did not practice. It’s doubtful any of them will be available on Sunday. |

Crennel: "Hey, Brian, we're getting our asses kicked why the **** is our first round daft pick sitting on the sidelines?"
Daboll: "Duh...becuase if we put him out there they will cover him" Crennel: "Oh...right...good call" Daboll: "No problem...wait, one more thing...all our players are depressed because of a missed FG" Crennel: "Perfectly understandable...we'll try to win next week"

When, and if, he proves he is a consistent, productive slot receiver, I'll admit I was wrong. Baldwin is not a bust...not yet...but he is edging on that territory and if you can't see it, **** YOU.

This is a 1st round pick being #4 on the depth chart at his position in his second year. There is not a single excuse that can be given as to why he shouldn't have been the #2. Christ... especially with Bowe gone through all of camp and most of pre-season. Hell... he isn't listed as the starter on kcchiefs.com. He doesn't have the "shortened camp + injury" excuse. |

Baldwin was a project from the get-go. He was a top five/ten talent who is extremely raw. The thing is, when you draft a project, you need to be patient while they develop.

It's ****ing bullshit that this regime tried to prop up Baldwin as our deep threat and new #1 WR in training camp...and now they are doing this bullshit.
They are a bunch of deceitful cowards.

It's not 1 game.
We sucked ass in preseason. We sucked ass for the last 12 games w/Cassel, other than a handful of bullshit against Kyle Boller and his inbred cousins... When does it end.

I don't disagree that their handling of him has been marginal at best. However, I am a long ways away from writing Baldwin off (especially after just one game.) A real QB gets the ball to Baldwin a couple times last Sunday and makes this a moot argument anyway.

Baldwin will get his. Maybe not a ton because the fact is there is a bunch of talent on the offense.
Badwin was the only guy not to get a catch, I am confident if Bowe, DMC and Moeaki and Boss and Breaston can all catch a ball, Baldwin can get his and make some plays. Daboll has had exactly 1 game now as OC and he made Cassel look like a hell of a QB for about 40 minutes. That's better than Weis did to start. |

Cassel didn't look that great. Our passing game extended 22 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. That's pretty lol.
He's looked better before. Tennessee 2010, for example. Indianapolis last year he was "on fire." Daboll ain't shit, and especially not with Mork Castille.
