Holthus takes a shot at Haley...
On 810 not long ago he was talking about the chemistry on this team and how he hasn't seen it this way really since he has been calling the games but to the juice...
Said the big reason for the chemistry is there is not a bunch of nit-picking, micro-managing and "useless yelling". Said Cassel doesn't have to worry anymore about being chewed out after changing the play and completing a downfield pass when the play called did not call for such. Went on to say that accountability is being maintained and used the Monday walk-through as an example. Just said there isn't a bunch ot nit-picking and yelling. Romeo let's the coaches coach, etc. He then elabortated more about how Daboll doesn't give a shit if Cassel changes a play at the line if he thinks the play called won't succeed against the defensive alignment. I took that as a clear shot at Haley and in retrospect it certainly seems to fit what we saw out of him for 3 years. |

Yes, the Chiefs are taking all kinds of underhanded shots at Haley and Bowe these days.
Especially Haley. Any failure in the past three years? His fault. Now that he's gone, everything will be awesome. He was evil and the fruits of the devil. Dude sucked but to blame him for everything makes me sick.

And I don't know which specific play he was referring too but he said Cassel no longer has to worry about being chewed out in his helmet after completing a 20 yard pass dowfield because the play called from the sidelines did not call for that route. I won't blame Haley for ALL of the fail during his time here. But it is a great point about the yelling and nit-picking. When coaches do that all the ****ing time players tend to start tuning him out. |

He just sucks at football. Inaccurate, mediocre arm, doesn't read defenses particularly well. Smart guy. Shit QB. There's also an entire sequence from the Seattle game that clearly shows Cassel had the ability to change plays, because the guy checked into a running play at the goal line in that game, or changed the direction of it or something. It was on HBO.

It was Cassel at the line of ****ing scrimmage changing things. And then Haley praising him for it, literally saying "he's becoming a quarterback."

Dan Marino is a mouth breathing meathead but he could read a defense.
Some guys are good at football, some aren't.

There are lots of coaches who have pre-determined plays. In fact, a good chunk of them. And frankly, the reason why we ran the ball against a stacked defensive line is because... well... Cassel couldn't throw the ball well against a stacked line either. Maybe the coaching limited him. But let's not try to pretend that a lot of his problems are because he just wasn't very good. |

And by the way, when we ran the ball into a stacked defense in 2010, it worked. When we opened the offense in any other year minus Jamaal Charles, it didn't work. I don't think there's anything egotistical about the reality that the Chiefs were a run-first team. If Cassel wanted more opportunities in an open offense, then maybe he should take advantage of opportunities that the defense gifted for him. |

It was clear to see that the team responded the moment he was fired...and in a positive way. That turnaround has seemingly continued into this year. |
