He is no DVD, For shure!

You can deal in fantasy. I'll deal in reality. Bowe was dropped to second team. Bowe began to practice with more intensity. Bowe played well. It worked. End of story.

You know, it's not like Bowe hasn't made similar catches in the past.

I think he would have played well regardless.

True.

Bowe was pretty damned good before... but Haley can only make him better. Sure as hell won't make him worse.

Why would Haley wipe his shit with stupid shit?

You know what I noticed?

Bowe didn't drop one pass last night, and he went after the ball and yards after the catch like a rabid dog.

I would argue Haley's approach to the situation is having the desired results.....

He didn't earn tht reputatuion last year.

He earned that reputation at LSU, and has continued to earn it through his first two years with the Cheifs.

Bowe has always had concentration issues.

I can't speak to what kind of practice player, but as you yourself have pointed out numerous times, he has always had the dropsies, so this isn't a practice issue.

Haley is challenging him to concentrate.

There's no guarantee that it'll work, but this may well be the first time that Bowe has been challenged in this manner since high school.

There's no question that Bowe is far and awy the best receiver on this roster, and he has shown time and again that when he concentrates on making the catch that he has great hands, and there is absolutely no reason that those hands shouldn't be reliable on routine catches.

That is what Haley is trying to get from Bowe.

One other point.

You really lose objectivity when it involves your favorite players.

Bowe and Mark Bradley should be the starters, Never really cared for Darling always seemed a bit overrated he would make a good back up....

Last night was just a glimpse into the reality that is Pioli not doing enough to upgrade the talent around Cassel this offseason. I'm not suggesting he would have come in and become the WR he was a few years ago... but having Torry Holt in this offense, starting opposite Dwayne Bowe with Engram and Toomer as #3 and #4 WRs would be a lot better than the garbage the Chiefs started the game with last night.

If you are going to give a $60+ million contract to Cassel at least give him the weapons to succeed.

The cream will rise to the top, and Bowe, and Bradley are the only cream we've got.

Holt's knees are shot to hell.

He won't last the season.

This article is one game to soon.

If Bowe dosen't start next week then go for it, right now we all knew why Haley did what he did and it appears it worked.

Reading this now is like DUH! :doh!:

Here's my Master of the Obvious prediction:

D Bowe will be starting for this WR corps. First team. Write it down. Championship.

Just a hunch.
