Haley Presser live on KCChiefs.com at 3:15
 

Just a heads up in case you want to listen in.

I heard he is stepping down.

From his high horse? ;)

He wanted LJ to clarify his post game statements. What LJ really said was "lego", not "ego". LJ was misquoted and this presser is to clear that up.

It's a shame that neither word rhymes.

maybe he was telling whitlock to leggo my eggo?

that's something i could see actually happening.

That would explain why whitlock has been so angry. Never take his food. Ever.

Wow, he's really dodging the DJ sitting issue - blaming it on injury.

Here comes the "ego" comments...

You'd have to ask Larry. First I've heard of it.

Shocking.

Bruised ego?

Larry nailed it.

Sees no erosion of attitude on the team.

The only player that I noticed playing with Heart is Vrable.

Thought defense made progress yesterday.

Huh?

Arguing with the refs does not equal heart.

Cant believe that. There are plenty of players on this team that still need to go..

Until we get players in here that dont cry all the time to reporters (waters) and are more worried about winning and losing that anything else... It wont matter...

Waters did a pretty intense pre game huddle and pump up session with the team that Fox showed right before kick off. Looks like he's on board now.

vrabel shook his head many times, esp on bad plays or whatever thinking 'wtf am i doing here?'

Cassel wasn't good enough to win.

Must be better.

Our defense did ok at one point in the game towards the middle. But that doesnt mean any improvement was made because the rest of the game was total crap. Now, to be fair..The first TD should go under Charles' stat sheet. Not our defenses.

I still would rather see Charles have about 15 touches a game on offense.

lmao hes putting this on Cassel?

no, group effort. Not Cassel...they all suck equally

No, he actually followed up by saying Cassel wasn't necessarily the reason they lost - just that he's expected to be better.

Not listening, but Cassel was bad yesterday, no way around that.

Defending idea behind repeatedly passing inside the 2 yard line by saying it takes less time off the clock...

LMAO

Colquitt has to be better too.

ok. I thought he did pretty good myself.

The false start called on Cassel was because Haley had informed the refs that Eli was doing it earlier in the game...

ROFL

Real smooth.

Losses suck, especially when you have 5 kids at home and you miss important things for a loss.

:spock:

you guys can get off the ego kick now.
Haley said it is not his ego getting in the way.

Did he really say that? WTF?

Yes.

ROFL

And what is wrong with that statement? He's got five kids. I mean that is his life outside of this suck ass team. That would be on my mind to if I was in his shoes.

He said his reasoning for throwing from the goalline was simply the time factor. Failed runs take 35-40 seconds off the clock, whereas a pass may take as little as 4 seconds.

It's somewhat logical, but I think it still implies lack of confidence in the o-line to blast the d off the ball and get in on one play.

His job is to make this a winning football team. He should be focused on how to get better.

i got FIVE kids to feed...

Agreed.

Exactly, a successful run doesn't take much time at all.

Well I have to admit that presser did have some encouraging points...

From Haley's comments though it sounded to me like he just absolutely hates DJ. He didn't say that directly, but he danced around the DJ questions, and followed it up shortly after talking about having the right guys. Not the most talented guys, but the guys that will help the team win.

Were you honestly EXPECTING a "successful" run?

uhh, Todd. DJ has played less than half as much as the other linebackers yet has made more plays. I dont care if hes not the "right" player. He gives us a better opportunity to win than Williams, Belcher, or even Mays.

Take them to the dentist.

LOL, no shit. Haley gives a logical answer to a question people have wanted to know about his play calling and people still find something to bitch about.

Gotta love CP.

Do people really have a problem with Cassel throwing TDs from the 2 yard line? He made two nice throws. One was very nice as he escaped pressure. Of all the things to complain about, how KC scores TDs is not one of them.

It must be a mental thing with DJ. Doesn't maintain his responsibilities, doesn't use the right technique in dropping back into pass coverage, freelances too much, something. I just don't buy the idea that Haley just doesn't like him for no reason, or that he's making an example of him at the cost of wins.

Hey, to be fair that's how I feel these days after wasting an afternoon watching a Chiefs game instead of doing important stuff, like figuring out how to save the princess from Bowser...

The fact you find this statement weird,wrong, or whatever tells alot about you.

There is simply nothing wrong with that statement.

There is a reason DJ dropped in the draft.

From Bowser? Are you kidding? Have you seen what Mario's doing to her in Flopnuts' avatar? Getting kidnapped by Bowser would be a vacation to compared to being trapped in that day-in, day-out humpfest.

I don't give a **** how we score. People bitch we don't score enough then have the nads to bitch about how we score when we do score.

I have no doubt that Haley has very valid reasons for not liking DJ. DJ absolutely has serious flaws in his game and can be a liability. But at the same time, he also has loads of talent and can be the most athletic guy on the field. I guess I just expected Haley and Pendergast to find a way to utilize DJ's talent without putting him in a position to hurt the team. It appears they would just prefer that he doesn't play.

No NO NO that can't be it. Fatlock and LJ said it was his ego trying make his 60 mil man look good.

Haley doesn't know what he's talikng about.

Sounds like a really good reason to throw it.

It's not the "honest answer" I'm bitching about, it's that he wants to be a "running team" but doesn't believe in their ability to run enough to get two ****ing yards. I like Haley's fire and his no bullshit attitude. I just don't like his decision making skills so far. We'll see.

DJ cant take on and shed blockers, he is decent in coverage and is very fast, but to play on first and second down as a inside backer in a 3-4 defense, you have to be able to get off blocks and make plays against the run.

If we had Ngata at nose tackle, he might be an effective starter, with Tank Tyler as the nose, he is a target.

He needs to get healthy and show he is gonna work hard enough to earn not only earn a starting job, but that his work ethic shows he is worth investing a new contract and a few more years on the field in red, otherwise we are best off spending that developmental playing time on a player that deserves it and gives us consistancy.

I agree that Haley doesn't appear to be the coach that i thought he was. He seems lost in his play calling. No consistancy at all. He has no faith in his O-Line. Neither does Cassel.

But, with his background, i was hopping he would FIND a way to move the ball.

He needs to call Chan and apologize.

Would losses suck less in Haley's book if he were single, and had no family?

The guy has been a coach in this league for years. He knew the job consisted of 18 hour days, sleeping in the office, etc - and that was before he decided to shit-can the OC and take on 2 additional jobs.

He misses his family.

I miss watching good football.

We've got to get to 8-8 and soon as possible so I can wear my Chiefs gear in public again!

I think it's both.

I think Haley is an irrational, temperamental d!(k and DJ is an underachiever...

I plan to have the most elaborately chiefs-decorated-brown-paper-face-bag in history!

The UNKNOWN FAN! LMAO

:clap:

Heh..I'm watching good football, it just happens to be the Chiefs' opponent.

It does if you don't make it in the end zone. A pass would take 6 seconds max.

Your kinda making his point, all that work and time spent to go out an lose. He doesn't like it either.

You will bitch about anything, I do mean anything, if you are going to make that statement an issue.

There are plenty of valid reasons to complain, stick to those instead of trying to twist and turn every ****ing thing the guy says into a problem.

22 guys off the street, trying to make a statement and 5 kids at home.

There you go, cliffs notes version.

He explained why he passed so much on the goal line, it made sense, you don't have to agree I guess.

Like somebody else said, we are complaining about how we score even when we do score. Silly.

No, no, He was the QB in red not blue.....

DJ is suppose to be the D team leader. Telling the media on a Wednesday he won't play on Sunday is a poor example of leadership and helps the other team. He doesn't use his head off the field any better than on the field right now.

by Haley's reaction to the Cassel questions, it looked like he was trying to ingest shards of glass.

IMO, by mid-season if Cassel doesn't get his shit together he'll be benched

Actually that's a valid defense. Nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, it's something Herm would never think of.

He was trying to win the game. It's the NFL, shit happens.

I thought Cassel could only play from the shotgun in Patsland.

Haley just wanted to get a TD since LJ was getting met in the backfield.

Somewhat accurate. You have one ILB who is more of a run-stuffer, and another who tends to be more of your coverage guy. It just so happens that he and Demorrio Williams are essentially fighting to play the same position.

You can't be this stupid...

i got FIVE kids to feed...[/QUOTE]

LMAO

LMAO[/QUOTE]

Haley's kids could probably protect Cassel better than our line... sign em up :evil:

But Eli is a Manning. I'm pretty sure they are exempt from the rules....
