<A name=241452>Chiefs | Trying to get Green to Slow Down
Tue, 26 Jul 2005 09:18:54 -0700
Elizabeth Merrill, of the Kansas City Star (http://www.kffl.com/link/142), reports the Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.kffl.com/team/21/nfl) are trying to get QB Trent Green (http://www.kffl.com/player/989/nfl) to slow down during training camp. Green went from the Chiefs' 7-9 season in 2005 to the weight room to 10 added pounds of muscle to throwing, throwing and throwing. His shoulder eventually ached. The coaches eventually intervened. That will not happen at training camp, at least not when offensive coordinator Al Saunders (http://www.kffl.com/player/7811/nfl) and head coach Dick Vermeil (http://www.kffl.com/player/7810/nfl) are watching. Vermeil said Monday that the Chiefs (http://www.kffl.com/team/21/nfl) will monitor and control Green's repetitions during training camp. "It depends on how he feels," Vermeil said, "but it could mean he'll throw in the morning and all of a sudden take the afternoon off. It could mean all of a sudden he doesn't throw at all one day. We run a massive offense, and he needs reps in all of it, but we'll monitor it so he doesn't get too many." Green said he's worked out with his receivers five of the last six days and that he feels good.

=================

This is a good "problem" to have. Green has turned out to be a class act.

I hope he works out with his receivers as much as possible. Our last few seasons have started out sluggish in regards to the passing game.

I'm hoping that Trent realizes that the passing game have started off sluggish and he is whipping those wideouts into shape. If he's busting his ass, it's hard for them to want to slack. Trent is the man, IMO he's always been a class act.

If he's trying to improve his arm strength, overdoing it can cause just the opposite. Methinks the staff is smart to reign him in. I would think he's doing it to avoid the early problems that plagued them last year.

Trents mom knows how to party. I met here at McDuffy's (sports bar in Tempe). She was there watching a preseason game. I got props later from her friend for not bagging on Trent. Didn't find out till later who she was.

When Green first came on the scene, I was not at all impressed with him, but he has since then, for what very little it's worth, won my utmost respect. He is a class act on and off the field.

Oh. And if you've ever seen her husband, you'd steer well clear. 6'6" and about 260 lbs.

They oughta make Ryan Sims and Trent room together. Maybe some of that work ethic will rub off on a brother.
