Chiefs training camp: Eddie Kennison coaching WRs

[thabear04]

http://arrowheadaddict.com/2015/07/26/eddie-kennison-kansas-city-chiefs-coach/

The Kansas City Chiefs will have a new coach on the practice field come training camp. Eddie Kennison, a former NFL wide receiver who played from 1996-2007 with four different teams, including a stint from 2001-07 with the Chiefs, will be joining Andy Reid’s staff as an intern.

Kennison will be working with one of the best in the business. Chiefs wide receivers coach David Culley has a terrific reputation around the league and has been at the same position since 1994, moving from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, where he was with Reid until both moved to Kansas City in 2013.

During his playing days, Kennison was known as a lightning-quick player with good hands. His career numbers were 548 catches for 8,345 yards and 42 touchdowns, only losing six fumbles along the way. Kennison racked up consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with Kansas City in 2004 and 2005 as part of a prolific offense featuring Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzalez, Johnnie Morton and Trent Green. Of course, the offensive line was pretty good too.

The best part of this is Kennison gets to work with a few young pups who have a game that resemble his. Albert Wilson and Chris Conley are both fast receivers who can gain separation because of their ability to accelerate out of a break. Some may forget, but Kennison was a freak of nature coming out of LSU, running the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds at his pro day in Baton Rouge, La. If Kennison can convey some of the finer points of the National Football League to these neophytes, Kansas City will be in good shape.

If all else fails … sign him up to play.

Today's lesson: how to put somethin' on dey ass.

[Rain Man]

I've liked Eddie Kennison ever since the day he walked away from the cheating Broncos. There walks a man with values, the fundamental opposite of that Sanders person with the effeminate name in Denver now.

[Titty Meat]

I don't remember him being that good

[Rain Man]

I don't remember him being that good

It's the challenge of being on an offense with three Hall of Famers (so far), a guy that set the single-season touchdown record, and at least seven pro bowlers. You tend to overlook the players who are just good.

Did you even have pubic hair when he was a Chief?

:)

[big nasty kcnut]

This make me splode!

[Lonewolf Ed]

If he can coach, it would only help the WR corps and they need it!

[Valiant]

Lol, I have to.


who is working with Alex Smith?? Montana and Trent?

[Mr. Laz]

Works for me, hopefully he can work 1-on-1 with Conley and speed up his development.

[staylor26]

This creates more of a situation like we have with our DB coaches the veteran coach and the young aspiring coach. I like it.

[Hammock Parties]

Lol, I have to.

Alex already got his coaching from Bono.

Also, I totally agree with the assessment that both conley and Wilson are very similar in styles to how Kennison played. Hopefully, he can teach them some tricks of the trade to help speed up their development and effectiveness.

Also, does KC bringing Kennison in as a coach indicate they may lean towards keeping a younger receiver with talent over Jason Avant?

I don't know if they are leaning that way but i would imagine it would give the young guys a better shot at a roster spot.

Just put Conley and wilson in Kennison's hip pocket and have them learn as much as they can.

[BossChief]

I'd say this could very well be a sign that the team likes the rookie we drafted.

[Coochie liquor]

So our WR coach is well revered in the league, but we went a whole season with no WR touchdowns??

[CoMoChief]

Last time I checked coaches coach and players play. They can't do it for them.

And at the same time, A lot is to blame on our ultra super conservative QB.

You must have missed all of the hidden touchdowns.

[booger]

This is all about training camp interns and the Bill Walsh minority coaching fellowship during TC. Rod Wilson and Cory Peoples too

He's 8th in franchise history in receiving yards. He was never going to be "as good as Marvin Harrison" as dipshit Hootie used to proclaim, but he was plenty good.

[Demonpenz]

Kennison would be wide open after people doubled TG.

[booger]

Billay don't let them tease u about yer ginger bush fro

[dannybcaitlyn]

Didn't we do this last year and it didn't help our receivers?

[booger]

Andre reed last year I believe

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Couldn't hurt.

[RealSNR]

Kennison screwed over the Broncos and was an ideal WR for our offense. He also had Champ Bailey's number on plenty of occasions.

He may have had a rough career, but when he was in KC he was pretty good and well-liked.

LMAO

No. Tell me he didn't......

It was based on Kennison being drafted by the Colts instead of the Rams.

My wife and I were celebrating an anniversary on a Saturday, getting ready to head up to the SkyView Restaurant, and ran into EK...he was really nice...and spending the night before game day in a hotel..as not to be distracted.. he was a gamer!

Yeah it always seemed like fans and the media would talk about the Chiefs needing a WR and I thought Kennison was a pretty good #2 WR still though back to back 1,000 yard seasons in an offense where you were the 3rd option is excellent. Shows you how good that offense was.

Anybody have a gif of that.

He finished 2nd in receiving yards behind Tony Gonzalez in 2004 and 1st in front of Tony Gonzalez in 2005. In total yards and TDs over those 2 years, Eddie was better than Tony.

[-King-]

Didn't we do this last year and it didn't help our receivers? does that mean never try it again?

The Al Harris thing has paid off on defense. Maybe this will too. I like that Reid is having young guys come in and learn how to coach while teaching our players a thing or two. There isn't a downside at all.

He couldn't make chicken salad with chicken poop ?

[Deberg_1990]

Johnny Morton will coach the Worm

[Valiant]

Yeah, if I remember correctly. Stated Kennison would have put up the same numbers if not better if they were swapped.

He is probably not far off.

[Reerun_KC]

I totally forgot about Eddie "fumbles" Kennison...

LMAO

Every time he caught the ball, we were always worried about him getting caught from behind and fumbling...

[gblowfish]

I'm for this. Like to see Will Shields and Grundhard work with our O-Line as well.

[gblowfish]

I met Eddie at a Royals game a few years ago. He sat right in front of me. Real easy going nice guy.

Yup. I remember that day too.
