John Dorsey's staff meeting at the Senior Bowl

[KCChiefsFan88]

Didn't see this posted... from earlier this week at the Senior Bowl practices (from Gretz's website: http://www.bobgretz.com/)





More details about this meeting from Gretz:

Wednesday afternoon’s practice for the South team had been over for 45-plus minutes. The players had done interviews, signed autographs and left on buses to go back to the hotel. Fans and media had cleared out, as had almost all of the NFL scouting folks.

The only remaining bodies in Ladd Peebles Stadium were a clean-up crew on the practice field and near the top of the east grandstand was a group of 20 men. They sat in the bleachers at listened intently as new Chiefs GM John Dorsey conducted what amounted to a staff meeting.

It happened after every practice held at the stadium. The workout ended, everyone dispersed save the Chiefs contingent.

Turns out it was a combination staff meeting, teaching session and debriefing on what had just happened, what was ahead and how the Chiefs were going to handle the rest of the day or week. Dorsey had been in the chair less than a week when the Chiefs arrived over the last weekend. These sessions were some of the first opportunities Dorsey had to speak to his scouts

Are you saying that after a combined total of 300 hours of overtime we are going to draft a Defensive Tackle in round one anyway?

Anyone know who all the other dudes are?

Caption the pic !

Dorsey : "Well fellas, from observing the QB's today were F'D and the one we needed to see decided $$ is more important than competing so it looks like that left tackle from Central Michigan will be our first pick. Scooter ! Get Alex Smith's agent on the horn now !!!

His case is three years of games. A week in shorts in Mobile wasn't going to change anything one way or the other for him. He didn't miss out on anything that he won't cover in his combine interviews, pro day and team invites/private workouts.

Agreed.

And why would you compete knowing you started off the season hot and then went to luke warm to cold in the 2nd half of the season and now risking playing subpar(many things out of your control) in the SB only to further build more suspicion in the GM's and Scout's minds that you "aren't all that" as advertised

That's poker play.

Didn't Luck and RGIII not compete last year and if so did they have a lack of character this past NFL Season?

[BossChief]

If anything, Genos stock stayed the same and the others fell...distancing himself from the rest.

When he runs a 4.6-4.7 40 and interviews well at the combine, there should be no question who our pick will be.

[Shaid]

Top QBs commonly don't play. A chance to get hurt and fall down the board, not worth the risk. Scouts always say it hurts them but it never does.

Mike Mayock and Charles Davis are NOT NFL scouts.

They were underclassmen last year. Neither were eligible to play in the game. You have to be a senior to play in the Senior Bowl. Hence the name Senior Bowl.

His stock was completely unchanged. He didn't hurt himself at all.
