Q&A with HIS HOLINESS MATT CASSEL - 5/18

May 18, 2009, 3:42:12 PM

OTA #1
Q: Talk about Coach Haley’s approach with the players this off-season?

1ST APOSTLE: “He is coming out with great enthusiasm and he is getting after us. That is what we need right now. He is pushing everybody to be the best that they can be and he is coming out with an attitude. He is trying to get everyone to come out with an attitude and expect to win and play hard for 60 minutes.”

Q: What is the biggest challenge of coming in here and trying to figure out where this team is at?

BUDDHA: “That is why we are out here right now. We are trying to figure out what we have. We have to build on our strengths and work on our weaknesses and try and get better each and every day. We will get to where we need to be.”

Q: How important are these voluntary workouts?

VISHNU: “It’s huge for us and its huge for this team. We have had great attendance up to this point. If we can continue to build on that and continue to have guys buy in, it just helps us in the long run.”

Q: Are the practices similar to what you did in New England?

MOHAMMAD: “It feels familiar, but at the same time I think it is a combination of both. The format is very similar. I don’t know how all teams work in terms of OTAs and practice this time of year, but they are all very similar I can imagine. We are out there and Coach Haley is doing it his way and he is working really hard to get this team to buy in and have an attitude when we go on the field.”

Q: Do you feel like this is your football team yet?

ST. PETER: “I am going in with that mentality that I am the starter. I go out there with that mentality each and every day that opening day I will be the starter and we will be ready to rock and roll.”

Q: Is it nerve racking to be in a new place?

MOTHER TERESA: “It is new surroundings for me and all the new guys that come into this locker room, rookie and veterans included. You meet new people. It’s a new playbook, so you just dive right in and try to get a handle on it.”

Q: Was TE Tony Gonzalez someone you were looking forward to playing with?

ST JOHN THE BAPTIST: “Tony is a great player, one of the best tight ends to ever play the game. He is a guy that I have a tremendous respect for. I am sure he is going to go in and help Atlanta. I don’t make the decisions around here. Coach Haley and (Scott) Pioli decided to go a different direction and I put my trust in them. We are going to move on. We will be successful if we just keep working.”

Q: Is your relationship with your teammates strengthening?

ZEUS: “That is what we are doing this time of year. We are trying to build relationships, trying to work on strengths and weaknesses and getting some of the chemistry together.”

Q: What do you have to do to get your mind ready to potentially be the starting quarterback for the Chiefs this season?

THE KRAKEN: “It is about perseverance and overcoming adversity. One of the things I always say is, ‘expect nothing, earn everything.’ It happens a lot in the NFL. You have to step up when you get your opportunity and I was able to get an opportunity last year and I showed a lot of people I could play, including myself. I am just happy to put myself in a position where I can continue to do what I love which is play football. I am blessed and I am fortunate to have that opportunity because I believed in myself and I surrounded myself with people who believed in me. ”

Q: Does it concern you that you have not signed a long-term contract, yet?

OOGA-BOOGA, GOD OF LOST AMAZONIAN TRIBESPEOPLE: “I really leave that up to my agent, Scott (Pioli) and everybody else that handles that type of thing. For me it is just really about coming in here, learning the playbook and getting better each and every day and concentrating on football. I think the rest of it takes care of itself.”

But that's the crux; I DON'T want him to bomb because if he does, it's going to set us back another two years.

And who the **** wants that?!

Douchey3, Bad Baby, and whoever the **** else can't seem to get this in to their heads. Bad Baby just likes to roll along with whoever may be arguing with me, but Douchey puts that fashionista bullshit up yesterday( which incidentally has not a DAMNED thing to do with football ), and I just played along with his shtick, instead of acting like a butt-hurt little girl.

I on the other hand, actually posted something that had reading value, that had not yet been posted on the board, and that related to the Chiefs new Quarterback! It related to Football!
Imagine that!

Apples and Oranges.

I rarely read RoR's threads. But when I see one go past 25 replies I rush right over to witness the beatdown.

The yelly screamy part was baited.

It is a stupid, useless thread.
I think it's time we move on and focus on the players that we have.

I am a Sanchez supporter, and was pissed when Pioli traded for Cassel.

But Sanchez is a Jet and Cassel is our QB, so rather than dwell on what could have been, I'm going to hope that Cassel is the next Lenny Dawson.

It is stupid to keep doing the kind of shit that's being done here.

Mecca · 05-20-2009, 04:23 PM

I think there are going to be some disappointed people, the Chiefs have not put Cassel in a good position.

I honestly believe if they trade for a receiver, he'll be fine. For some reason I'm not worried about the OL.

I disagree. That interview was buried at the bottom of the pile over at KCC.com, and had not yet seen the light of day here, or over at HOTC.

And Dragon's pretty good about being on the ball with that kind of shit.

You may not agree with the context, but the material had merit.

The material had merit.

The manner in which you presented did not.

**DaFace** · 05-20-2009, 04:52 PM

Is it really so hard to title a thread in a way that people can tell what the hell is going to be in it?

Agree to disagree. Look, here's the thing; let's say that I agreed to never put the Jesus Shtick on Cassel or Pioli again. And let's go even further and say that ALL parties involved in this ongoing clown party agreed to do the same with Sanchez and Stafford.

I can guaran-****ing-tee you that I would not be the first to break the agreement. Those guys can no more put their shit to rest than Micheal Jackson can resist the pull of a twelve year-old boys freshly powdered behind.

So what's the point? Why even try?

In this case I agree. The post would have had more pop with a regular headline. I'll keep that in mind, and thank you.

bdeg · 05-20-2009, 07:14 PM

haven't read the whole thing, has prob beensaid, but what i don't get is how cassel has now in your head become the 'perfect one we should all make fun of' when we got him for a f-ing 2nd round pick and the perception was he hasn't proven anything without the pats yet.

love his potential, think he will be great, as all signs(working his butt off andhasa real desire, what more could you ask for in the offseason?) point to. and people ripped the trade and him on here for weeks

this is not going to be an ongoing ordeal for every player you don't like. please. stop it. it doesn'tapply

my space bar is busted(i'll take credit for the lack of shifting)
