Bingo. In fact, Haley showed it was possible to win FOUR games with 22 guys off the street and do something that Dick or Herm was unable to do - win at Invesco (with the playoffs on the line to boot!).
Because fact of the matter is, top to bottom, the Chiefs are probably the least talented team in the league. The offensive line is made of one first round draft pick that's playing out of position (Albert), and a converted free agent full back that made his name playing between Roaf and Weigmann (Waters), and a bunch of first day cut cast offs from various teams. Linebackers? Other than an overachieving converted 4-3 LDE, an aging ROLB forced to play SSOLB (Vrabel) because your former frist round draft pick at SSOLB only decides to show up twice a year (Johnson), there's a bunch of special teamers at best at the rest of the positions (Mays, Williams) and one rookie who shows a little promise (Belcher). Tight end? Please. Defensive line? Rookie and a bunch of guys playing in the wrong scheme. Safety? Tragic.
I mean, other than Flowers, Cassel, Charles (who was finally given a chance due to LJ's ineptitude), Vrabel, Hali and possibly Albert, it would be hard to find anyone on this team that could/would challenge for a starting position on another team in the league. Jackson might, but he's a rook and had the learning curve thrown at him. Dorsey is so obviously out of position it borders on sad - please trade him for his sake and the teams sake.
Four games with 22 guys off the street. I think Haley short changed himself.
