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. |

I don't give a flying **** what Baldwin does in week 10. I am pissed that he wasn't ready game 1. I will be apoplectic if Baldwin doesn't have more TD and yards than Breaston by seasons end. |

you can pretty much write this article prediction before every Sunday and will eventually hit when the guy finally has 1 good game and you can be looked at like a sports genius. Until that day comes he will continue to be invisible, stand on the sidelines and when he does actually play, get jammed at the line.

Steve Breaston only caught 2 passes and Baldwin was on the field for 12 pass plays and was open plenty of times.
The problem isnt the GM, the coaching staff or Baldwin himself...the problem is that Cassel has poor field vision and instincts. |

Our first rd pick was on the field 36% of time time our shitty QB threw the ball... none of which were to him. AWESOME. You have completely set me straight. No reason to be upset at all.

Breaston was targeted 3-4 times.
Bowe was targeted 5-6 times. There is a difference between that and ZERO targets. Something is going on behind the scenes that has rendered Baldwin useless to us.

Hey Clay...
Can you do us a favor and give us some screen caps of the 2 second mark of each play Baldwin was out there running a route from the all 22 camera angle? Ive heard people say he was running wide open on a few of them. |

I've reviewed most of the All-22 and I can tell you he wasn't open, save for Cassel's 2nd pick, when there was no way Cassel could get the ball to him because of the pressure.

Sorry, I guess I should have asked someone that didn't have an axe to grind.
(This is an attempt to lure you into posting the screen shots) |

Wait, hang on. Looks like he was open on at least one play...

Open at the bottom of the screen. Cassel is throwing to Bowe, who drops it. Pass was a bit high.
