Four questions with Andy Reid ...

Not long before the end of the season, I wanted to ask Andy Reid whether he'd be interested in writing something around the time of the Super Bowl for Sports Illustrated. He said no -- even though in his youth he wanted to be a sportswriter. He thought he might be otherwise occupied. I'd felt he wouldn't take a year off from coaching up to that point, but then I knew if there was a job out there, he'd want it.

Q: So, since you've been named the Chiefs' coach, many people wonder: 'With everything you've been through -- your son Garrett's death by overdose, the turbulent year on and off the field you just went through -- why not take a year off to recharge and get your life back in order?

Reid: "Because I love what I do. Garrett loved what I did. It doesn't feel like work. I didn't want to sit home and not coach. What was I going to do? There was nothing I wanted to do as much as coach football. The thing with Garrett ... it was not very sudden; this was a long, long process. Unfortunately, [drug addiction] is so rampant in America, and people who have gone through it realize that you don't just -- as in my case -- lose a son; you lose a great friend. Now I'm able to bring my other son here. [Reid hired Britt Reid, who also had drug-addiction issues, to be a Chiefs quality-control coach.] Remember, he lost his best friend. But I am so proud of how far he's come. And it says something about him that the three coaches he worked for at Temple wanted him to come with them. The other side of this is working to move on like a man and handle what life throws at you. We're doing that.''

Q: Why the Chiefs? Why not, say, Arizona, or the other places you were linked to?

Reid: "The Hunt family is one of four or five bedrock families in the NFL that I always thought, 'If I'm ever released [by the Eagles], if one of those families calls, I'd listen.' The history here is so rich, the tradition is so rich, the fan base is so strong.''

Q: What's the one overriding thing you take from Philadelphia into this job?

Reid: "I learned to embrace a city in Philadelphia. They'll take you from boyhood to manhood, which they did with me, and that's okay. It's a results business. I got that. As far as the team goes, it's imperative that everybody's pulling in the same direction. That's the only way you can succeed."

Q: What's your take on the talent you inherit?

Reid: "Before I interviewed with the Chiefs, I looked at every snap from every [Kansas City] game this year. Special teams were average. The talent overall, it looked to me like they were transitioning from an older team to a younger one. And I thought, 'With a couple, three drafts, very good things can happen here."

***** ****ing sucked and he hit on more than that.

Hitting on 3 starters in every draft is very hard to do. Where is the 12 starters that P ioli drafted?

I think the people here better get used to the idea of not drafting Geno #1. Dorsey is a BPA guy and definately no reaching so I don't see Geno as #1. I see a FA like Flynn or Smith and drafting a QB where they feel there's value. This place will go apoplexic but I also think that's some of the 3 drafts away comes from. Picking up the best value at the pick and trying to fill in with FA where it doesn't happen. It'll probably take three years to get everyone they need without reaching.

Peter King needs to be dry fisted.

Agreed.

Players on this roster worth keeping who don't need significant upgrades:

O: Albert, Winston, Charles, Bowe,
D: Poe, DJ, Houston, Hali, Flowers, Berry
ST: Colquitt

Players on this team worth keeping for depth, $ savings, and development
O: Hudson, Asamoah, Moeaki, Stephenson
D: Arenas

What is this team really out if any of the other 40 plus players who are on IR or the active roster are jettisoned and/or whipped to death with log chains?

I've seen about enough of Moeaki...

Could help the club if he weren't consistently in the tub.

The ultimate **** you to Peter King who defended ***** and said the reason Reid came here was because of the talent he inherited.

I was being generous. He's JAG, just like all of Pioli's non-Houston supposed draft coups.

So he's almost admitting Scooter left him garbage besides the players that were here before Scooter, who Scooter wasted four years of their primes. Andy will right that ship thank goodness.

Yes, if he expects every drafted player to pan out, then yeah.

In reality, he's probably aware that won't happen.

Plus, He's probably just sandbagging with the 3 years comment.
