Sirius had a twenty minute interview with Carl Peterson today.
Basically, he said the Law negotiations had been ongoing since the day the Jets cut him. Said it was the longest negotiation he's ever been involved in. Also said that Law would bring leadership and a winning presence to the team. He said that's what Montana and Marcus brought with them when they came.
He's very optimistic about the defense. Said that Sims has had Krumrie in his ear from day one and that Sims is responding. He thinks Sims will play well this year. Peterson is very high on what he thinks Krumrie will bring to the defense. Also said that with Herman on board he has no worries about the play of the defensive backfield. Said that Edwards coached backfields have always excelled.
On offense, he talked very highly of Eddie Kennison and what he's accomplished since he's been here. Said that he expects Parker to have a breakout year. Also said that Solari plans on getting Dante the ball out of the slot with a little open space to run. Said that Craphonso has also looked very good this spring.
He also said that the chiefs will go to camp with the backup running backs they have and will give them a fair shot at winning the job but they were always looking to improve the club. Reading between the lines, it sounded like he covets Bennett but said that New Orleans is going to need Bennett because of the Bush negotiations and because McCalister is coming off surgery. It seemed to me like he's willing to wait and see how the N.O. situation plays out before deciding on a course of action.
That's about all I can remember.
